For days, he kept her confined, in his bedroom.
He had Hyeera the maid, Xiera her personal guard and Peter the butler take turns watching her.
They made sure that she never left the left wing, his quarters.
She had nothing doing, constantly idle and it well near bored her to an early death.
On some days, she would wander around the corridors looking at the portrait on the wall.
They were portraits of the Linamine emperors.
On other days, she would visit his library.
She would take time to read books she found there, either novels or poems or history books.
And sometimes see even looked at the documents that he would keep around, carelessly lying on the library table.
They were documents that she could never ever seem to understand.
Yet, curiosity made her always skim through it, trying so hard to understand what was always tabled on it.
Once, he had walked in on her doing so, caught her reading one of the many files that he had arranged on the table.
She looked as frustrated as hell.
He had watched her amused for a moment before he had taken a seat beside her.
He explained it all to her, only she had not been able to understand even a damn thing.
Well, it was not because he was a bad teacher and neither was it that she was a dull student.
However, it was only because his nearness had not allowed her to concentrate on his teachings.
It was his scent
That lovely fragrance of coconut and lemon which always left her salivating for more was invading all of her comprehending faculty comprehensively.
She had thought that he would be naughty due to their proximity like he always was.
But he had not so much as touched her as he had not despite the fact that they slept on the same bed.
She was convinced that he had been flirting with her, for fun.
Therefore, she was not at all surprised by it.
Well, she should have been extremely pleased at his change in disposition.
Yet she was not; wanting nothing and yet still wanting more and it confused her.
It baffled her continuously, that confusing emotion.
How on earth could one want something and yet not want it?
She didn't know, couldn't answer that as she could not answer his questions when he was done with his explanation.
He had shaken his head to her and left her to the documents, to the books and the library shelves, more confused than before.
