The King's Obsession

C156 - Midnight snack- Part 2

When Lisa woke up, it was the time of midnight. She didn't know what time it was as the room had no clock and the only clock was the bell that rang far in the distance in one of the villages or towns. She had a headache, and she felt thirsty. The room was dark to let her know that night had prevailed, and the castle grounds appeared to be quiet. The crickets outside continued to chirp.      

Getting down from the bed, her feet met the cold floor, and she padded her feet across the room to look outside the window which looked empty. By the looks of the stars and the ambience, she knew it was late in the night. Once she had got on the bed, she didn't know when she fell asleep, and it was a deep and a good one. Who knew having liquor would end up in her having a good sleep which she hadn't had in a long time.      

At the same time, Lisa started to remember the events that took place hours ago. One image falling over another, where she remembered meeting Sehun and his possible alliance with Lady Catherine. The carriage...Oh the carriage, she closed her eyes. Her body slid down while holding the grills of the window to sit down on the floor, on her heels.      

The feeling of Jungkook's lips on her made her tremble and shiver that raised goosebumps on her arms at the thought that they had kissed. No, no! Lisa corrected herself. Jungkook was the one who had kissed her, and it wasn't her who had initiated the kiss. She had felt his lips moving against her, coercing her to open herself to him, and she had…     

"Kill me," muttered Lisa to herself. With the kiss that took place not just once but over and over with their lips touching each other and the tongue, she didn't know how to face the King anymore!      

How did that happen?! One minute she had been feeling extremely hot and wanted Winter to come right away because of the unbearable burn she felt all over her body.      

Unconsciously her hand moved to touch her lips, tracing it and remembering the way it felt when he had kissed her. Thinking about it, she felt something in her stomach, and she put her head between her knees, "What am I going to do?"     

Standing up, she fanned her hand over her face that had turned red. She wished she could ignore it easily by saying it was nothing. But it was her kiss. On her lips. How could he steal it away from her just like that! Leaning forward, she tried to see if there was anyone outside, noticing how clear it was with no guards or wolves, Lisa decided to step out of the room. She had eaten in the afternoon, and she was hungry now.      

Picking up a coat that was hanging on the stand, Lisa wore it, tying the sides before stepping outside the room.      

She was greeted with low burning lanterns that hung on the walls. Some places held the torches of fire that burned in low flame because of the possible lateness in the night. The corridors were clear without the maids. When she leaned forward, she noticed the guards who were situated in the bottom ground. Now that she was out, in the quiet night, she forgot about her hunger and decided to spend some time alone without being watched or hovered. The maids weren't there to attend her as they would have thought that she was still sleeping and would wake up only in the morning.      

As Lisa made her way, she took note of the King's room whose doors were closed. There was no light in there, and it made her wonder if Jungkook was in there or was out for work. The village she came from, it was told that the night creatures were the children of the devil because they indulged themselves in drinking the human's blood and killing them for sacrificial purpose. That the vampires never slept during the time of night but only slept during the time of the morning, which was a lie.     

Did Jungkook sleep?     

She would have told that the bed was used to sleep, but with Jungkook in the picture, there were other purposes of the bed apart from resting.
