"Actually, it's four not 3 my majesty"

A soothing voice sounded from right behind me.

Fuck... am I gonna beheaded?

"Are you ok, her highness?" a man with black hair and red eyes walked in front of me.

Oh, it's the first person I saw in this world, my ear burns at the memory

he smiled gently as he touch my hair. His red eyes are glowing unlike morning. Half of His black hair was now artfully styled in a elegant knot at the top of his head while the other half fell straight down his back like soft silk. With his shining milky skin and delicate features, he looks just like a painting come to life.

"My majesty, will you like some hibiscus tea. You drank a lot yesterday, maybe that's why you are having memory problems" he said as he make me sit in front of mirror, combing my hair gently.

Should I tell him the truth?? It feels like a sin lying to him but life has taught me to never trust anybody easily. Trusting Leonardo was the biggest mistake I did and I've known him for years and I've only met this stranger twice. A tug on my hair snap me out of my thoughts.

"oh, I apologize, my majesty. Your hairs are more tangled day today. maybe because of your vigorous morning activities?" his tone of voice is still gentle but with sharp edge. He flashes a smile, his eyes meeting mine in mirror as he takes a strand of my hair and loops it between his finger before tucking it stylishly.

"it's nothing like that and I would love the tea, hibiscus tea. My head is throbbing because of hangover" I rubbed my forehead and feign a distressed look.

"Oh, really" he looked at me through the mirror with a crazed look in his eyes, his red eyes glow with more intensity, making me gasp,

"ow" he pulls me by hair, his eyes meeting mine

"Do you know possessing a body is highest crime in Vatron,?"

I glared at him. He is testing me I can't show any hint of hesitation

"Have you lost your mind?" I snap, my tone cutting and laced with arrogance

"Is this how you treat your queen? you don't care about your own life anymore"

He let out a small mocking laugh

"Great show" he sneered

"But as far as I know, Lilith is allergic to hibiscus and she never drinks on consummation nights. So, tell me what kind of hangover you're suffering from, my... supposed majesty?" he scrutinize me from head to toe

"The body is hers only the soul has changed. I knew something was wrong with you in morning but never have I thought you're the wrong one. so, tell me how do you want to die? "He traced my jawline with the tip of his finger while his gaze remained fixed on mine

"By dismemberment, by hanging or" his red eyes glinted with cruelty "or you would like to be burned alive?"

a chill ran down my spine. Memories of searing pain, the smell of burning flesh and the agonizing screams flooded my mind. I blink my eyes several time and try to focus on the pattern of his clothes, anything to keep my mind occupied. Black and golden, it's always a good combination, suits every person

he yank my hair again

"Look at me and answer, fool" I can't show weakness, not now. I glared at him

"If you wanted me dead you would've already called the cops or guards whatever. You won't be wasting time here talking or threatening me. so come on point. What do you want and what I will get in return? What's the fucking deal!!" I yell at his face
