Frozen Soul Trapped In Box Of Love

Aya look around, everyone was standing waiting for the King to enter the royal hall. Zaden standing next to her and his mind kept pressing to Aya head.

He was wondering if Aya felt anything. His concern circled through her, making it difficult to breath. Aya turn her head and look at him.

Zaden didn't look at her, he kept his eyes to the main door. Aya let out a soft sigh. She felt fine and she want to ask Zaden, what's make him so curious that make the emotion so overwhelming to bear.

Beside them, there was the other guests guardian and bodyguard standing at the room. She want to open her mouth but the King has entered.

Wearing his red dark long coat, his black hair appeal make his pale white skin become more fairer. From where Aya standing, she couldn't see the king face clearly.

He walk slowly, step by step with his fierce smile and calm eyes. Sudden chill across Aya spine, The King just look at her. She tremble, her heart racing rapidly, Zaden cold hand touch her shoulder.

Zaden eyes narrowed and darkened. His brows almost slammed together. The King eyes wanderings at the whole hall, eyeing everyone like they was his prey.

For a moment, Aya thought the King saw her through the wall. But people from the hall can't see through the wall, it's obvious that the king builds the wall to avoid looking at the normal human being.

The Majestic King hates ordinary human, he despises those who are not a royal. He thinks the powerless living thing is just an insect that crawling on this earth to survive under the powerful force.

She couldn't explain this knowledge itself until she remember that Zaden was exist and standing by her side.

Aya notices that everyone had swallowed their smile. Carmen looks pale, but Mr Dunhill just calm as ever, he pats Carmen hands gently. The King looks young, Aya assumed he was around Mr. Dunhill age.

The king sits on his throne, raise his hand. Everything about him look majestic. Aya feels something isn't right. He looks majestic but it didn't fit him. It's like he wearing custom made costume that using someone else body that has a similar physique of him.

His voice echoing throughout the hall. He opens his mouth, he didn't shout, but everyone can hear it clearly. Everyone's gasp. Clearly, The Majestic King shows his power, it isn't the power of any human possibly could have.

"I am King Eryk the Ruler of Ethereal Kingdom..."

She only hears the King voice vaguely. Aya feels empty, her body stood perfectly fine but her soul is like being s.u.c.k.e.d out into another dimension. Aya felt an odd feeling at the displacement of the thought, as if she was dead and her soul was leaving her body.

"Long live the King, Long Live the bloodline of the Majestic Ethereal Kingdom..."

Like she suddenly woke up from her slumber, she was regaining her consciousness by the echoing praying for the king. Everyone raise their glass.

"You were as white as a ghost. Do you lost your soul?"

Carmen brows frown, despite her harsh words she was showing a genuine concern for Aya. Did she pass out again? It's just a few moments. But the Gathering almost over already. Carmen coming to them telling that her father, Mr. Dunhill will be leaving after the King leaves the hall.

The confusion shows all over on Aya face, Carmen look at Zaden who silently standing beside her. She wondered what could possibly happen behind these wall. This gathering without doubt just a plain boring event.

"Hey Aya, do u need drug? I don't have it with me now, but I could obtain it for you efficiently"

Carmen looks at Aya serious. She does think Aya needs it for some time now. She knows how Aya will pass out or her sleepless disorder that always gets her weakened and sick.

She herself never taken drugs, that's what her father detest the most. She will be disinherit, or worse will be disowned by her father if she ever taken it.

"Zaden did I pass out just now? How long I've been... "

Aya finally talking, she can hear her voice stuttering but something stop her words to be spoken. Her eyes captured the figure that now walking closer to them.

A beautiful face. Well defined, with a sharp jaw and angular cheekbones. The complexion of his skin going well with his ocean-like eyes.

His pale skin looked so...right. The man had on a white cotton shirt with and a pair of black pants which for a second Aya thought he was the cater waiter for the event. But he look to fine for a cater waiter, he know how to look nice in simple way.

He does that by having his brunette hair cut in long layers, tapering around the sides and back. He had a Roman nose and a thin pair of lips that was in a form of a smirk.

"That's something... delighted to see"

He looked down for a moment, pouring himself a drink and bringing the alcohol to his lips. The burning sensation pouring down his throat, creating a warm feeling deep inside of his stomach.

He take Aya hand and place his lips gently. It looks sweet move in the eyes but it sends shiver to her spine. He is not seducing her but more to warn her.

Aya can see dark cloud behind his neck. It moves freely along his fair skin. It was floating around him. Aya look around but no one can see it. Not even Carmen who was blushing beside her.

Carmen was like been a poison by his gaze. Aya head was full of doubt. Did he can control people feeling? Did he just trying to make her fall for him?

"Sorry, but you can let go my hand now."

He let go Aya hand and give her a cold smile. Zaden move forward and hiding Aya behind him. He was being silent for some time. They stared each other like they actually know each other.

Aya was thinking if this reunion will bring another chaos? But Zaden actually made a bow to the man. His next words were not the thing that Aya would ever think possible.

"It's been a while Crown Prince, Aiden"

"Interesting. It seems I just found the Lost Princess"
