Lilian's POV
" I couldn't sleep so I decided to keep you some company"
What is he even saying? He is bored so he came to make fun of me.
" I'm okay my lord, I don't need any company"
I said somehow harshly, but I was so confused after my song paper has disappeared.
He was silent for some time now, lying on my bed, the moonlight was a reflection on his beautiful scary face.
His eyes were blue quite sharp, when he looks at you, you feel like you stole something from him and are ready to get your punishment.
I don't know, I just don't like making eye contact with him.
" So you're telling me that I have to leave?"
He said in the question, with a calm voice, somehow I don't know if I said yes, I feel he is going to kill me.
I want to live as much as possible to leave this island with my family.
" You can stay if you want, I'll take Katie's bed, she is not coming anyway"
I said then attempt to leave the bed but he grabbed my arm then pulled me to the bed again while flipping and sitting on my belly.
" M, My Lord!"
I said in a quiet voice while widely staring at him.
He smiled at me.
" You're acting different from other girls, are you playing hard to get? "
He asked me while staring at my eyes.
" Because if you're doing so, That will excite me more"
He placed his fingertip on my forehead.
" I'm not playing anything, your highness, I just want to sleep"
He started laughing out loud after I said that.
I don't know back then he could laugh like that.
Unless he kills someone.
" You're so fun to mess with, Alright, I'll let you sleep "
He said then stood up from my bed goes towards Katie's bed.
" You shouldn't trust anyone here, you're inside my game, if you fail, I'll simply kill you "
He said then left my room.
.................
I couldn't sleep last night because of his words.
I know I shouldn't be left my song paper here, I can't think of another song to sing either.
I hope my turn to sing would be before Katie's.
I know clearly, she will sing my song.
" Come on Lilian, don't be scared"
I dressed up in my cyan simple dress, brushed my hair, then went outside my room.
I saw the other girls sitting in the castle hall, a large wooden stage is placed in front of the king chair.
" Madonna Resto "
The servant started to call our names, many girls started to sing.
I was nervously playing with my fingers looking in Katie's direction.
She is completely ignoring me.
I glanced at the king who is bored yawning while watching the girl ' Madonna ' singing.
Please call my name before Katie's, please.
" Katie Lawrence "
The servant said and I closed my eyes, disappointed.
That is the end of my life.
I need a song, anything.
" I just want to sail far away from sadness, sail to your depths, discover your secrets, towards the unknown world ~ "
As I expected, there's my song.
Her voice is pretty good actually, but she's a thief.
I glanced at the king again and saw him smiling at her singing, then looked at me.
W,
Why is he looking at me?
Looks like he sensed my suffering and decided to laugh at me.
I shook my head then started to memories an old story that I've read.
I'll sing it and everything will be alright.
" Lilian Dimitrish "
I sighed, climbed the stage while passing beside Katie, I decided to ignore her as she does.
There's no pointing to shout at her call her a thief.
It won't change the fact that I'd be killed.
I nervously breathed while looking at the smiling king.
I hope you're enjoying yourself.
Cause I'm about to destroy your mood.
" Hiding my colors, why are so reckless?, your head would be cut away, I'll cut your head away, you think I'll care if you steal from me, oh boy, I'm throwing the things that I don't need, I'll do what I have to do to succeed, All I care about is leaving your dirty game, yes your dirty game, baby I'm not your prey, I'm your monster ~ "
I don't know what is it, but I mixed a horror song with my beautiful calm voice.
Tried to scare Katie a bit would be good.
" Oh dear, what sharp words to sing towards the king"
The king said in amusement, it's his first opinion towards any of the songs that were sung today.
" Do you mean me with your words?"
He suddenly stood up from his chair then climbed the stage with one hand.
I kneeled before him.
"Of course no my lord, it's just a song"
I said quickly then started to hear the girls' waves of laughter.
" I said you should sing from the heart since that is what you're feeling, I'll gladly accept it "
He said then he started to clap.
I looked at him furrowed my eyebrows.
I succeed?
..........................
He called the other fifteen girls names that have won the competition.
And he said he will send the others to their homes completely safe.
I hope so, no one deserves to die because his singing voice is ugly.
I was ready to climb down the stairs but suddenly he grabbed my hand.
" Since you all sang beautifully, what about a little dancing? "
He suddenly said and glanced towards the musicians who suddenly started to play music.
The king put his hand on my waist while grabbing my right hand.
And started to dance fast.
I was trying to maintain balance, trying to match his speed.
I looked at the extremely angry girl, then The King whispered in my ear.
" You shouldn't looking in other direction but me "
I looked at his horrifying smiling face, his beautiful face is so close that I couldn't breathe.
I hate eye contact with him, He is killing me from staring at me this way.
it looks like I'm dancing with the devil
My mother taught me how to dance since I was seven, so I gladly didn't step on his leg.
The dance finally ended and I tried to catch my breath slowly while he raise my palm and kisses it.
I was staring at him in shock, it's the first time someone kissed my hand.
And he is the king!
CALM DOWN LILIAN.
I tried calming my racing heart while climbing down the stage.
Another girl now is dancing with him.
He looks very professional in dancing.
His clothes, hair, movement.
Everything looks great.
Except for his personality, he is garbage.
" Lilian"
I heard Katie's calling my name, I don't know if I should answer her or not.
I decided to walk away.
" Lilian, I'm sorry"
She grabbed my arm, I sighed.
" I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't, I can't write songs, I'm sorry that I stole it from you "
I looked at her with a poker face.
" I'm glad you succeed this time, I can't trust you nor want to share a room with you, but I'll accept your apology "
I said then we heard her name to go for the dance.
She left my arm and climbed the stage, as I expected.
The king is looking at me.
I don't know why he keeps doing that.
I sat down completely bored, their dancing was okay.
.................
" For the next competition"
After he finished dancing he grabbed a paper and read from it.
He doesn't look so much tired after dancing 15 times.
" You will travel abroad on a ship, every girl will grab a treasure from a foreign land "
I stood up excited! We will travel!
" Your journey would be extremely dangerous, so two guards would guard you through your journey discovering the unknown world"
I never felt so happy my whole life.
" Your journey begins after three days, I hope you prepare "
