"Well isn't that wonderful! " Sofia stormed into the room, channeling her anger towards the door.
"The receptionist is nowhere to be found! That's ridiculous! How can he assume that we would share the bed!"
King Adonis fought the smile that crept on his lips, he found the Princess's outburst quite amusing.
"It would be highly unusual in this case where a man and a women beautifully dressed, check in at night and do not seek to share the bed" King Adonis gave in and smirked broadly at the change of her expressions , the realisation, the shock and then finally disgust. The last one put a sour taste in Adosin's throat.
"You will not share the bed with me!" Sofia stared daggers at the King.
In response the King simply made himself more comfortable in the chair and replied
"You know as the King I am not used to discomfort, so I will not be sleeping on the floor if that's what you think, and I cannot ask you to do the same, that would be very dishonourable"
Sofia let out a frustrated groan throwing her head back. "No no.. no there has to be a way!"
"The only way right now is acceptance dear Princess, and if your concern is my moral, may i remind you I am a man of a very high moral and have no intention of causing you any harm" the King took a pause and then added "of any sorts"
Sofia still didn't trust him
The King was getting progressively comfortable as he removed the all the excessive accessories he wore, meanwhile the Princess paced.
The King went to the bed first and called out "Princess please, I didn't save you just to kill you of exhaustion"
Sofia sighed in response "King Adonis please do not concern yourself with my wellbeing, it'll only cause you unnecessary discomfort, you may see yourself to bed"
She heard the King make a sharp exhale but no response other than that. She took a quick glance at the King, his eyes were closed.
After what seemed an eternity Sofia gave in to the exhaustion and crept to the farthest possible end of the bed, unloading her jewellery and lastly her dagger on the night stand for any immediate assistance.
Sleep came effortlessly to Sofia because of the exhaustion, but her actually worries came to her with the dreams.
She was alone in the dark woods, she had heard the wolfs howling, and had started running, it was futile as she came face to face with the pack which was now surrounding her "no stay away get back!" She raised her dagger taking her stance. The wolfs snarled in response, slowing closing in. One of them charged at her and tackled her to the ground, she tried to to come on top of the wolf. When she did her hands stop dead in their tracks before she could slay it. Her hands wouldn't budge.
She looked at the wolfs face, really looked at it it was scared. She heard her name. What.. is going on.
Sofia jerked awake, face to face with the King, She couldn't make sense of this. She stared at the King for a good five seconds before she registered what position she was in.
She was straddling him with a dagger in her hand, he held that hand, which was mere inches from his face. His eye were wide and he was breathing heavy.
She pulled her hand back and quickly got away from the King, she threw the dagger away.
"King Adonis I- I don't.. I didn't mean to- this I don't understand i was-" Sofia was visibly shaking.
"Princess Sofia clam down" the King urged in a calm and calculated voice.
I- I tried to kill you.. Oh god's I- I didn't want to do that, please forgive me" Sofia was dazed, murmuring pleas, she was about to have a panic attack.
"Princes- Sofia.. Sofia! " The King raised his voice to get her attention. "Listen to me!" He waited till she held eye contact with him. "Breathe Sofia, Breathe" he took in a deep breath, to remind her how to breathe, she followed his cue. He repeated this breathing exercises with her till he was sure Sofia had calmed down.
"Good, Sofia are you with me?" The King asked her,searching her eyes.
"Yes King Adonis I- " she cast her eyes downwards
"Sofia stop, look at me. I am not hurt I am alive and breathing, okay? You haven't done anything"
Wide eyed Sofia looked up at the King "Why are you so calm King Adonis? You were asleep". She asked in hushed tone, guilty filling her eyes.
" I was awake, you uhh... you were talking in your sleep" The King wanted to make this less awkward for the Princess, that's why he left out the screaming part.
"At first i thought you were talking to me I got up to check and as soon as I understood what was going on i tried to wake you up but you.." The King trailed off.
"Tired to kill you" Sofia mentally filled in the gap
"I didn't realise I was acting out" She whispered.
"It's okay Princess Sofia, but I must say, your knife skills are formidable" The King suggested with a smirk.
Heat tingled on Sofia's cheek, she opened her mouth to respond but no words came to her. She got up and excused herself to the restroom to splash water on her face. Hoping to wash away the embarrassment and the flashes of her nightmare.
