My Bride from Another World

Chapter 15: Wish of a Defeated Giraffe.

"What is this I'm hearing Kronos?"

I burst into his study full of fume. He looked up from his loads of paper works, eyes wide opened.

He didn't expect me to just barge into his study without asking for his…Oh, Ho so great His Highnesses permission without knocking.

In fact, I'm sure, he never expected anybody in the history of humankind to barge into his study like this. Ha! Take that, you prime and proper bastard.

His eyes narrowed and jaw clenched, there his eyes already started to form an electric current. Before he could lose his temper and I get a thousand voltage shocks, I intervened not wanting to face the anger of the Hulk.

"Listen, I need to know what's going on. Why are we stepping outside this safe zone?" I asked him as politely as I could. He raised his eyebrows, the calm expression reforming on his handsome facial.

"I don't need to explain myself to you. Don't you dare question my decisions? And who said we are going out of the secure zone. If that place was not safe then I would have never gone there. I know you are not that smart but sometimes you have to use the logic even if you have it only 1 %." The words departed out of his sexy mouth laced with full pure arrogance.

Bastard, I wouldn't be in the top class-A school teacher (though an assistant teacher) if I wasn't smart. Don't open your mouth; just get your mission accomplished! "Do you think you are smart?" I asked the bastard who only raised one eyebrow. "Of course." He replied egoistically raising his chin up and putting his hands deep in his pocket, displaying an arrogant posture.

"I wonder what makes you say that. Now, Kronos Never mistake arrogance for the intellect" I said in a pitiful tone. His eyes widened and his lips fell apart. It took him a second to let go of his shock, and then as usual Hulk came back. He gritted his teeth, the vein in his neck popped. I'm sure there is an invisible smoke was coming out of his now red ears. He took a threatening step towards me causing me to gulp.

Before he could take another step near me, I shrieked. "Oh God, look there!" I yelled at the top of my voice pointing my finger behind him outside the window. His eyes narrowed and he turned around swiftly. As soon as he turned his back against me, I ran hot on my heels out of the room and clapped the door shut with full force.

I waited for some seconds, mentally preparing myself when I was sure that he will not come out, I laid my back against the sidewall of the study and took a long breath.

My closed eyes opened instantly when I heard a noise. A different, rare yet strange and enticing sound. It was a deep, manly, throaty chuckle. Did I just? Was it? Really, did I just hear Kronos chuckling?

But how is that possible, Dustin told me that he never smiled for years, he never smiled at even his best friend since then how come he chuckled in front of me. Although he didn't do it in front of me but still.

Finally, the rapid beats of my heart calmed down and I let out a shaky breath before making my way inside the study again. Okay, anyone who would enter his study must have a death wish to do so but the atmosphere was different this time. When I heard him chuckling, I just wanted to be near him again, to hear that sound again.

And yeah I need to know about that Palace place too. When I entered the room, he looked up immediately. The amusing expression was still on his face. He palmed his face and soon the blank stony expression welcomed me.

"Don't try to act smart again Ellison."

"I might if you don't tell me the truth right at this moment."

"I don't take well to those who talk in such tone with me. You better watch your words, Ellison." He sent me a frightening glare that made one pee in their pants. (Thank God I have good bladder control.)

"Just get ready, we are ‘going to Palace in one hour whether you like it or not." He voiced out, the finality was clear in his voice, powerful and commanding causing me to shudder.

There was no winning against this man. As much as I wasn't used to submitting or being ordered by someone, I need to swallow my pride. It wasn't like I was in my castle; I was in his den, his territory.

His!

And only ...

... HIS.

I went into my room like a defeated giraffe and removed my clothes before taking a long bath trying to calm my nerves. And it helped a lot. I'll change into a nice outfit before we head out for the journey. I sat down on the chair drying my hair with a towel. I never realized that until now. I didn't know the climate in Palace, the bastard didn't inform me what do I wear and I was too lazy to ask so I asked the maids to give me any clothes suitable for a journey.

I looked at the clock and realized that I still have thirty-five minutes before we depart. I'll just grab something in the kitchen to feed my poor little tummy and then I'll get dressed. I wore what was ready for me a white full-sleeved silk blouse, black high waisted pants, classy dark blazer and black boots. I comb my long hair and put on a pony, and lastly applied for the finishing touch of make up a red lipstick.

DANG I look perfect. I still wasn't used to them giving a bath or changing clothes concept. But maybe once in a while, it's fine I think.
