Elara stayed still, just blinking, hardly breathing. It almost seems like she was sleep walking.
Her mind could hardly wrap around the prospect of what the king just said to her.
A million and one question was circling her mind, why the sudden change of heart? Didn't he hate her? How is she supposed to act around him now that she doesnt know where she stands? Is he trying to mess with her head? Cause its definitely working.
Too engrossed in her thought, she didn't hear the king stepping forward, nor register his touch as he gripped her shoulder, his gaze searching hers.
It was until he gripped her neck gently did she finally snap back to reality.
"I think you should leave" she whispered as the king's face was merely an inch away from hers.
The king closed his eyes as his head hung low, he did not want to let go, he wanted to kiss her and finally let himself indulge in his feelings.
