Isabelle

QUEEN OF DELUSIONS

"It has come to my notice that Nya is not in a good state of mind." Jia commented the immediate second he arrived at the hall of meetings. His news shocked both the unaware parties having them run out of the room in a haste, it was such an amazing sight for Jia seeing them both run.

"You will find her in her room." He stated to their aid noticing how they were both preoccupied with the news that they forgot to ask. As soon they were both out of sight, he vanished into thin air.

An outhouse in the middle of the forest stood ever so proudly as it were the only building around surrounded by nothing but trees graced with an eerie presence all day and night long. Tied to a wooden chair the creature was still unconscious, he proceeded to pour a bucket of cold water all over the creature leaving the wooden bucket on her head. The sudden hit of cold water jerked the creature awake.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Looking down at her body, she saw herself tied up with vines to a chair, body soaked with cold water. Jia stood in front of her and she could see her kidnapper's feet. Black Leather shoes, it resembled the ones she had cleaned this morning, the ones that belonged to Lord Jia.

He knocked on the top and sides of the bucket three times each which came off as him being playful before taking off the bucket for her to see who was responsible for her kidnap. If she had been earlier informed that Lord Jia would do this to her, she never would've believed. In fact, she would've reported such an accusation and unbelievable information, calling the person a lunatic and made sure the person got severely punished for defamation of character which most likely the person will be detained.

Looking at him now she wondered what was going on and why she was here alone with him in a shack. She paused a few seconds and then she smiled and openly stated her conclusion.

"Milord, I....i didn't know you liked it rough." She blushed heavily and couldn't look him in the eye. Jia stared at the lady in front of him in wonderment, how she would make up anything to fit her connotation.

"You could've informed me earlier Milord and I could've arranged everything. Nothing you ask of me is too much or too difficult for me to do." She paused to look at him, seeing he didn't comment, she took it as him not understanding what she meant.

"The positions I mean, there's no position that is too difficult for me to......

Another jab to the neck with his finger and she went unconscious again, he couldn't let her finish her statement. He took notice of hi skin, goose bumps that had formed. He decided to deal with the Queen of delusions later, when he could deal with her.

The moment Lord Cyrene saw Henz open up Nya's room door for them to enter, he deeply frowned.

'Why is he alone with her? He shouldn't be alone with a lady he wasn't married to.' Kia hurried to Nya's bed side and began bombarding her with questions. While Cyrene's gaze were fixated on Henz who quietly stared at Nya from where he sat.

"What was the doctor's report?" He eventually spoke to Henz.

"Well at first the symptoms she possessed where that of pregnancy...

"Stop saying that or I'll throw this cup at your face." Nya retaliated with a hoarse and tired voice.

"Stop speaking you need some rest." Kia softly reminded her.

"I was just giving the doctor's report." Henz responded to Nya and then continued speaking to Cyrene whose heart skipped a beat at the thoughts of Nya getting pregnant. "The Doctor said it was extreme stress and that she wasn't .......

"Don't say that word!" Nya gathered strength to say.

Kia glared at her because he had just told her to rest and she wasn't listening.Henz looked at Nya with a 'I dare you' face and then he said the word with squinted eyes.

"Pregnant".

Nya groaned and hit him with a stainless steel cup without hesitation. Henz hissed in pain as the cup came in contact with his skin.

"Such a handful" Henz muttered under his breath. Cyrene watched from a distance.

Jia couldn't sense Isabelle's presence in any part of the mansion, he became slightly worried. "Where could the curious kitten be?. I hope she's not getting into trouble" He soon felt her presence but it was weak, he walked a little more and the more grounds he covered the stronger her presence became until he stopped in front of her room where her presence was the strongest.

Lifting his hands to do the right thing by knocking, he stopped halfway to poke his head through the door using her powers just to take a peek at what she was doing. His gaze softens as he saw her spending her afternoon in bed, her hair sprawled all over the pillow and some on her face. He found his way through the door to observe the human in bed. She was sleeping peacefully and that was because she had listened to him by taking the potion which he made sure was prepared.

It had been a while since they had both spent time together, he took it upon himself to plan out the afternoon for them both. "She had to ruin it by sleeping." He muttered and sat down, legs crossed arms stretched on the couch patiently waiting for sleeping beauty to rise. This wasn't the first time he would be watching her sleep and waiting for her to wake, it almost felt like he had nothing doing but to watch a lady sleep.

The presence of Nya moved him as he wasn't expecting her in Isabelle's room and the same goes for Nya as she wasn't expecting Jia in Isabelle's room.

"You are not supposed to be in a lady's room." Nya almost shouted at Jia.

"You're not supposed to be here either, you're not feeling well remember?" Jia reminded Nya.

"That doesn't change the fact that you're in a lady's bedroom." Nya took note of Isabelle in bed.

 "Not especially when she's in bed". Nya walked closely to Isabelle's bed.

"What about it?"

"Meaning she isn't aware of your presence and she did not give her consent to you being here."

"Why are you here Nya?". Jia sensed something that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Nya acted suspicious to him.

With a sigh she responded. "I came to check up on Isabelle, it has been a while." She said in a soft voice.

"Nya? Tell me what's going on, you don't look yourself." Clearly stating his observation.

"I came across a creature today and apparently I'm not the only one in the mansion who has been cosplaying Isabelle."

Jia's expression became much more serious, uncrossing his legs he looked at Isabelle with so much intensity.

'How can that be?' Jia let his thoughts roam, the presence of a new creature would've been known if there was any. The air would be of a different smell and a different aura indicating another creature was in the building as well as they but none.
