Chapter 7

Alyssa stayed briefly at the event and when she saw that no one was watching her, she left Rin with the excuse that she needed to find a rest room and then under the hot summer sun, she began a long trek back to the palace.

She had apparently been there too many times without warning that the guards immediately let her in without question. After over an hour if searching, she finally found the room she was looking for; The King's study.

No one was allowed in there without the king’s express permission so she did her best to avoid the passing maids and guards before she quietly crept into the room and slowly closed the door.

She looked around the room and sneered in disdain at how neatly arranged it was in such an OCD manner. Just thinking about the king made her angry. She wondered while Allisa had liked him in the first place when he was nothing but a boastful pig. She thought back to when she arrived at the competition and he had called her clingy. If she had been the real Allisa, she would probably have slapped him right across the face but since she wasn’t her and she didn’t belong in this strange place, she felt that she had no right to do such a thing but she felt pleased at the thought that the words she exchanged with him the other day had made his blood boil in anger.

She shrugged. She would be leaving soon and would never have to see his smug face ever again.

She walked into his study and saw a lot of books. If a book had brought her here, it might have been found by someone else and given to the king. After all, the book looked like an antique, like something he would have. Maybe one of the servants or guards gave it to him thinking it was his.

She did her best to recall how exactly how the book looked like and then she rolled her sleeves and got to work, pulling books off the shelves.

**####****######

Alyssa groaned internally. It had been quite a while since she started. She hadn’t been able to find it and was quickly getting exhausted.

She heard footsteps coming towards the door and she quickly hid behind one of the shelves and peeper through the space between the books.

When he walked in, Alyssa saw him with a girl in his hands and they were engaged in a very passionate kiss and she was different from the girl she had seen with him the day before.

Asides from being a goddamn pig, he’s also a womanizer!, Alyssa thought, glaring at him ,wishing she could burn a hole through his head and watch him die. People like him should be eradicated from the earth. Why would Allisa fall for a person like this? Back in her world, this was exactly the kind of men that Alyssa ran away from without looking back and avoid at all cost. It didn’t matter if they were wealthy or extremely good looking. They were all still trash in the end.

The two were still attached to each other at the lips while their hands rummaged through the other’s body. The girl haphazardly unbuttoned his shirt revealing the gorgeous body that pulsed underneath.

His abs looked perfect with his well proportioned and toned athletic build, with muscles in all the right places.

Alyssa blinked, snapping out of her trance. What the hell was wrong with her? She shouldn’t be enjoying the view of his very Greek god like body and how strong he looked… She shook her head. She convinced herself that she didn’t want to see anymore of this so she made the decision to walk out of her hiding spot.

Taking in a deep breath, she walked out and crossed her hands. “You two seem to be enjoying yourselves quite a lot”.

Immediately they heard her voice, the two broke apart and Luther’s eyes widened in surprised anger. “My God, Allisa. What the hell do you think you’re doing in here?”.

Alyssa blinked at him, innocently. “ I came in for a book before you two decided to undress in front of me. I should be complaining about feeling harassed but I’m feeling generous today. You can just pretend I’m not here and continue with your… whatever you were doing previously. Good day, your Majesty”, She said and hurriedly walked out, leaving the both of them stunned.

Alyssa headed out of the room, feeling annoyed and disgusted at his reaction. It was understandably if he didn’t like Allisa but he could at least pretend like he cared about her feelings and slowly but her off. Not instructing the guards to let her in whenever she wanted. She wondered how Allisa would have felt of she had been the one to stumble on that scene. With how much Alyssa had heard about her feelings for Luther, she knew the other girl would have been crushed.

As she was making her way down the hall, someone suddenly grabbed her hand. She turned, her hair whooshing in the air before falling to her back as she stared down the person who held her wrist in his hand.

Luther had at least managed to get himself to look decent before hurrying out after hair since his shirt was all buttoned up. He looked do responsible that no one would believe her if she had said that he had been making out with someone a few minutes ago.

Alyssa raised an eyebrow. “What do you want?”.

“What do you mean by that? Why on earth were you in my study?”.

“That’s what is most important to you right now? You know what? Forget it. Like I said earlier, I went in to grab a book”.

“Really? You left the event and walked all the way back here so you could get a book from my study? Do I look like a child to you?”.

“Do you really want me to answer that? I don’t care if you believe it or not. That isn’t any of my business. I couldn’t find a fun enough book there so I’m leaving for a place where I can get something relaxing to read”.

“What are you so upset about? Because if what you saw in there? You’ve always know the kind of man that I was. Why are you acting surprised now? “.

Alyssa could feel her palm itching and she could help wanting to relieve her itch by hitting it on his annoying face. She had so many curse words lingering at the tip of her tongue but she swallowed it. He wasn’t worth wasting her saliva.

“I don’t give a flying fuck who you stick yourself into. My life doesn’t revolve around you and your insane sexual desires. From today, let’s pretend that we don’t know each other. I believe it would be better for us both”.

With that, she roughly pulled her hand away from his and walked away.
