*she just turned 20 by the way*

-No one-

"Nadia, I told you." Cecelia said getting dressed up, watching her friend, stare at the wall as she was still in her bed.

"The only thing you can do now is be careful. "Cecelia said once again before leaving.

Nadia closed her eyes as she felt another headache coming again. Maybe it was from crying too much. She said to herself.

feel so light headed...I feel so sick. She said again.

I need to stop thinking about the King, but unfortunately I can't. Why do these memories keep flooding into my head?

Flashback
-Nadia-

I was called into the King's room tonight and I was so nervous. Not being it was my first time, but because he made me feel so uneasy, and I noticed the way he looked at me.

I knocked on the door, waiting for a response. "Come on." I heard his voice.

I opened the door and brought the cleaning cart into the room. After I closed the doors, I turned around seeing the King, sitting on the edge of the bed.

He was shirtless and he looked up, his eyes looking at me. I didn't see the queen in the room, so I assumed they got into another fight and she went all the way to the other side of the palace. Them fighting wasn't anything new at all.

It was bound to happen every other day. I felt pity for the couple. Day and day they were drifting apart.

About ten minutes later, the King got up from whatever he was doing and from the corner of my eye, I saw him approaching me. I began to freak out inside. Was I doing something wrong?
Was I being rude?

He was now even closer to me, but I was relieved when he walked passed me.

Or so it seemed.

I immediately felt arm wrap around my waist, making me jump.

I heard him chuckle, and it sent vibrations through my spine. I felt his voice echo through my ears, ringing repeatedly in my shocked state. "Relax..." He said in a smooth voice.

Oh my god... I thought.

"Calm down..." He said again.
My heart rate sped up but I eventually calmed myself down.

What was happening?

I could imagine him grinning. "You're very beautiful, Nadia." He said my name...and called me beautiful...I was screaming on inside.

I then felt something soft and wet on my cheek. "You should go."  He said.

"U-uh-"
"Thank you for cleaning." He smiled at me.

I went to bed confused and flustered that night.

The next time I went to his room again, I was even more conflicted than the last.

2nd Flashback

"I...your highness-" I said backing up as the King was towering over me. My back hit the wall and I gasped.
His hands were on the wall, my frame In-between him and the hard wall.
