King Kaplan was drunk in her beauty. Even in her dirty dress and barefooted, she was still the most gorgeous woman he had ever met.

"Get up. What's your name?", Avi jumped off his horse, gestured his guard, Kevin, to leave him alone with the knelling brunette girl.

The girl get up carefully, still didn't dare to meet the King's eyes. She bowed her head slightly, "My Royal Highness, I'm Kirsten, sir."

Avi bended a bit, he gently smile, "Little thing, why are you here? This forest is dangerous, I almost shot you with my arrows."

"I'm sorry for interrupted your hunting trip, sir.", the girl nervously said, her voice trembled.

"No, it's okay, really. C'mon, don't be that uncomfortable. I'm Avriel, but please call me Avi. As you seem like homeless, would you mind coming back to the palace with me, Kirstie?"

Avi caught her eyes in his as she looked up. Right when he faced that gorgeous pure brown eyes, he knew he was in trouble.

Avi took her to the castle, and Kirstie, like he often called her, just asked him to let her be a servant. As much as he wanted her to be his Queen, he didn't want to push her. So he let her be a servant with a condition that she just only served him. Avi was selfish when it came to his woman, thank you very much.

Kirstie was prettier than any girl inside and outside the castle, that was a fact he couldn't deny. She was kind and gentle, but also smart and multi-talent. She cooked real good, she could sing and tell him a lot of stories.

Days, Avi woke up with his clothes ready for him, and when he finished dressing up, Kirstie would come in with his breakfast. He always had his meal alone, Kirstie was the only exception. She would come and tied his long hair as he ate his breakfast. Then Avi would leave for his usual day as a King, but he never forgot to snuggle the little girl to his arms and hugged her for a bit, then kissed her lips before he go. He loved snuggling with her. The feelings of having his little girl in his embrace was surprisingly good.

Nights, Avi came back to his room after a tiring day. Be a King wasn't easy. Beside led his country, he had to quell some revolts from the rebels and foreigners. So when his day ended, Avi wanted to do nothing but snuggle with his little Kitten. She always appeared in his room right after he had done his shower. Kirstie brought tea or cakes for him with her. After the light dessert, Avi called her to climb on bed with him. He still didn't push anything beyond the limit. They were just snuggling, he told her about his day and she told him a little story, then he fell asleep. Kirstie would disappear when he got up in the morning, and the routine kept repeating. Avi's motive to work all day long just a little snuggling with Kirstie at the end of the day, and he didn't complain.

-

It was Christmas, and his country was filled with cheering and singing. Avi pleased look at his people, and even happier when they kept singing about their loves for him. But a thought came through his mind suddenly pulled his mood down. It was this day, today. Told his courtiers, Hoying and Grassi, to continue the party, Avi came back to his room.

The girl scared looked at him, fear covered her beautiful brown eyes, she said a strange language repeatly.
