Armana Frauleins

I was nervous.

I told Scarlet about Lorenzo wanting to meet me tonight and all she did was to choose a seductive dress and got me all ready for tonight. Throughout the whole day, I kept gaslighting myself that he probably wants to talk about business. Anything related to Sol or Fiona or Nikolai, anyone... Scarlet refused to believe that. As a former cat, she is too much of herself and knows a little too much about human emotions.

I was wearing a light blue gown which is normally different from what I wear because the neck was too long revealing my cleavage and breast bumps down the neck it revealed most of my skin. It was sleeve less and around the sleeve a silk, soft layer of cloth brushed past my arm. Looking at me, I look like those fancy themed bar girl. I was embarrassed and awkward so I wrapped a shawl around me, to cover up whatever the fuck I was wearing.

"A man does not call you at night to talk about business. I know what business he is talking about."

That's what she said but despite knowing Lorenzo, I know all the seductive dresses aren't useless because these doesn't attract him but disgusts him. I got a sudden flashback of that night when I was wearing my night gown and Lorenzo practically roared at me for wearing that in front of him. That was the day, I realised, he is a man of steel heart.

Scarlet is the one who made me nervous with all the dirty talks, otherwise, I would've been perfectly normal at the entrance of Lorenzo's room.

"Your Majesty. Are you still deciding whether to go inside or run away? Your wish is my command just order away." Lucas bend forward as a sign of respect.

I chuckled. "That would not be necessary and besides, a run away Empress is the last thing I want in tomorrow's newspaper."

Lucas joined my laugh.

Suddenly, the door to Lorenzo's room opened with a loud sound and Lorenzo came out. He looked at me, then at Lucas.

"You guys have been chitchatting for way too long." He spoke, narrowing his eyes.

"Pardon me, Your Majesty." I apologised and Lucas bend down to greet him.

"Come in, My Queen." His gaze softened which gestured for me to go inside.

I did and the door at the back closed. It was quiet and there was no sound of anything, just the fire crackling. I could feel the man's body warmth behind me. He was so tall to the point, if he stands in front of me, I will disappear by his body.

I gulped and stepped forward. This isn't my first time here so why was I so nervous?

"You should prepare yourself. A man becomes a beast at night." Scarlet's voice flashed through my mind and I blushed.

Why was he so silent and why the fuck was he still behind me. I turned back and saw him, staring right at me with his icy blue eyes. It felt like it was devouring me to the point that I knew I could be eaten by this man in no time.

"Y-Your Majesty...?" I asked, as I gulped and looked up at him. My neck hurts from how much further I have to look up.

"Take that shawl off, Mellisa." His eyes was set on mine as he commanded.
