A g*****a

THROUGH THE HEART

I was expecting that after escorting the princess into her quarter, the ladies would already leave and let her sleep. To the contrary, they stayed in the chamber with Princess Dagger, there were exchanges of stories and gossip, they began to share their romantic tales and the usual girls chit-chat. I noticed that Princess Dagger did not talk a lot, she would just react, smile and do other stuff and leave all the talking to her ladies. It seemed like they were there to entertain her with all their stories and the latest happening in and out of the castle.

I just sat down on the floor and waited for her to go to sleep. I would take that chance to check the room for anything or probably a book or diary that might have any name on it. I decided to sit, relax and stay alert. All I got was ladies' gossip. I still made sure I was keen on every little detail in my surroundings although no one could sense my presence, as proven from the earlier experiments. I also came to a point where I wondered what ghosts felt like.

I heard the princess say that she would do her bath later. I got frustrated because it meant that I would need to wait longer for her to get to bed before I could cast about her stuff.

“Your garments. The ladies had already prepared everything", Venetia told Princess dagger

I did not understand what it meant, so I sat cozily in a corner waiting for the next thing to happen. To my surprise, they took off her clothes. I attempted to move from where I was so not to witness the removal of layers of her clothes, but I was unable to do it quickly since there were objects around the room that I might bump into.

I carefully moved away and avoided hitting anything as much as possible, then I stayed at the corner, which did not help a lot, since I can still see her being undressed by her ladies in waiting, and I think it even gave me a perfect spot where I could have a nice view.

At first, I closed my eyes, but I thought I must be cautious since I was in a place stranger to me, so I decided to keep my eyes open. I just had to look away from her. I kept myself aware of what was going on.

I confessed that there was another reason why I intended to keep my eyes open. My eyes were wandering around the room at first, then I had a glimpse of her flawless neck and exposed shoulders, then my eyes started to get fixed on her. When it was the part in which all she had left on her body was her inner garment, the silhouette of her body visible from that thin piece of cloth was enough to make my heart beat faster.

The ladies started to move away from her and picked up layers of her gown scattered on the floor. I was waiting for her to take her bedtime garment and put it on, but then she called out one of the ladies and told her that there was one more.

My brows furrowed, Venetia handed what she was carrying to one of the other ladies and went up to Princess Dagger. To my surprise, she took it off! My eyes followed the last cloth she was wearing sliding down her body. From her shoulders until it drops to the floor. I was able to see her naked. I could not help but admire every inch of her beautiful body.

I also realized that she did not only have a stunning physique, but also a gorgeous face. Her smile was so seductive, she was smiling the entire time she was talking to the ladies. The fun ends when she wears her robe.

I just remained sitting in the corner and gazed at her in amazement. The wardrobe change lasted for... I lost track of how long it took. I was busy with the princess. At some point, I was just glad that, at last, they were done. I suddenly remembered the bath time and got curious when she would do it? All along I thought after that wardrobe change, she would take her bath already.

I was wrong when the ladies left the room. She called for Venetia to stay and asked her to open the door.

“Is she afraid to bathe alone?” I asked myself in confusion.

Venetia walked straight towards me. I initially thought of getting out of her way, but I was confident that she could pass through me, and she did. I saw Princess dagger go after her, so I did not mind getting out of her way.

After Venetia opened another door, an astonishing view was unveiled before me. It was a library; she had a vast collection of books. I excitedly followed them, heading inside the library.

I went straight into the library, suddenly, I felt like I was smashed into something, it was totally dark in there. I reached out for my phone to illuminate the room. To my surprise, I was in a utility cabinet. I saw brooms and maps, I reached out for the doorknob and tried to see what was on the other side of the door. I slowly opened the door and found myself in our high school library. I closed the door and tried to act like normal, though I was wondering why on earth I ended up in the library broom cabinet.

I walked slowly trying to connect the events, but I was nowhere near to getting an answer. I looked at the shelves on each side of me, my face lightened up. I remember this book section. I spent my time here writing and reading the books of various famous Elizabethan playwrights, The golden age Roman poets, from 17th century Pilipino poets until the 19th century.

Without thinking, I picked up a book. I cannot see the title yet since it is old. I chose it because I was intrigued as to its content, since the book had no title. I opened the cover to check on the first page for any description. It seemed like it was an old book. There were characters written on it, but I was not able to understand anything written there.

I felt someone pass by at the back of the bookshelf. I placed the book on the floor and tried to look around. On seeing that there was no one there, I went back to where I left the book, and I was left wondering. The book was not there anymore.

I was still hoping that this was all a dream. I waited for me to wake up, but it did not happen. I was thinking that I was wasting my time in the library, so I decided to explore and thought of leaving the building.

There was one thing I was tempted to check out, but I knew how much it would hurt me, so I decided to forget it. I continued heading out of the building.

When I stepped out of the library building, I looked around me and saw the same school where I went before. Everything was the same. I checked out the famous drinking fountain, then I tried to visit the school stage where I performed my winning unmemorized piece. I recall how that junior girl beat me. I decided to have a stroll in the school corridors like I would usually do back in high school days, then I headed towards the gate. Suddenly, I heard the school bell ring. I was startled. The bell rang continuously until I woke up. My alarm was on and was trying to wake me up. It was time to start preparing for another normal day at work.
