These days, Ruby had been saying weird things again and again. She kept saying that Demetrius was the best for me and I should never leave him and that he would always be the one for me.

In the first place, I was not going to leave him. Why would I? I knew he was the best for me and I loved him. But still, she kept saying the same thing as if she was trying to warn me about something.

There was a knock on the door. I wondered who it was. But since my high-pitched voice was really disgusting, I decided to check myself than ask who it was.

I opened the door and peeked through the gap. It was Ezekiel. He dressed up slightly as well. Perhaps it was Mother's personal maid who forced him. She was always making a fuss about getting dressed properly.

"Oh, it's you...," I mumbled.

"Her Highness wanted to know if Your Highness is ready," he said.

"I am," I said. "Ruby will be back in a while as well. Then we can leave."

"Is that so?" he muttered and ruffled his hair with his hand. "Can I spend some time with you, Your Highness?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, can I wait with Your Highness?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

"Well, I am not doing anything interesting..."

"Besides, it is not okay for Your Highness to stay alone even for a while. If I am near, then Your Highness can be safe," he said.

"Alright then. Would you like to come in?" I asked.

"Sure."

He came in and looked around the room as if he was truly interested. Dem's and my bedroom was unnecessarily grand and extravagant. It was understandable since he was the king. A king's bedroom was indeed supposed to be as luxurious as possible.

Not many people were allowed to come into our room. After all, we were the king and queen no matter how hard it was to believe. I had still gotten used to my position. It always felt weird to call myself the queen.

"Your Highness is looking down," he said as he sat down on the couch. Even the couch in our room was too extravagant and luxurious. Sometimes it felt weird to sit on it as I felt like I should not be using it.

"I just have a headache," I said.

"A headache?" he repeated. "Is it serious?"

"Not really," I said. "I will be fine after a while. I had some tomatoes and jalapenos. My headache is less now."

"Jalapenos? Do tomatoes go with jalapenos?" he asked, surprised. I could understand his reaction. When I asked for it, Ruby was shocked as well.

"I don't know. I just like it," I said. "Besides, hot peppers are good for relieving headaches."

"Do you want something to eat? Or something..."

"No, I am alright. Just be yourself, Your Highness," he said.

"Ah, right..."

"By the way, Your Highness looks very beautiful today," he said.

"Thank you. Ezekiel doesn't look so bad yourself," I said. For some reason, when others praised me, it did not feel as special as when Dem did. Perhaps it was the power of love.

"This color suits Your Highness," he said. "And Your Highness looks good with her hair down."

"My hair down?" I mumbled.

"Yes. You are always beautiful, but with your hair down, you look even more beautiful. Don't you prefer it this way?"

"I usually prefer braid," I said.

"Is it... is it perhaps because His Highness likes it?" he asked.

"Well, he likes it. But I like it as well," I said. It was the truth. I did not like to comb my hair much before, so Max would always make braid my hair as it was quick. "It's habitual."

"... Is that so?"

"Yeah."

These days, the air between us was uncomfortable. It was true that I was never comfortable around him, but now it was worse. Since the beginning, something about him always felt distant and I felt intrigued. Now I felt even more intrigued and wanted to avoid staying with him alone somewhere since it felt really uncomfortable.

But I could do nothing about it since he was my personal knight and he was supposed to be with me all the time. Dem said that he was the most fitting for this position. But still, I was thinking of taking another personal knight.

"Are you worried about something, Your Highness? You look slightly pale for a while now," he said. "And you have been walking around the room."

I did not even notice that I was walking around the room. If he had not pointed it out, I doubted that I would notice.

"Oh...," I mumbled, embarrassed. "I just had a dream..."

"What dream?" he asked.

What dream? I did not know myself. What was the meaning of it? I did not remember the whole thing, but some parts of it. And it was about Demetrius.

"You know, the world is beautiful. But only when you are there with me. And when you are not there, there is no meaning. I will care for this world if it allows for us to be together. But if it opposes somehow, you know, I can destroy it. I don't care who lives or who dies.

I just want you."

"Nothing matters if I want you. For you, I can do anything. I can kill anyone. I don't care who I have to kill, if only you're with me. To have you, I will do anything."

"Since the moment I met you, I knew I found you, my one and only. Perhaps you were not meant for me. But still, I had decided back then that I would make you mine. I didn't care about your choice, because you did not have one. How could you when I had already decided that you would be mine and mine only?"

"I love you so much that I am unable to act like a normal person. I want to touch you all the time, keep you with me. I just want to have all of you. Normal was never something I was. But now, I think I am more abnormal than ever. But you will accept me, won't you?"

"You don't even know how much I like all your expressions... I like it when you smile, when you laugh freely, when you are surprised. I sometimes even like it when you're scared. It's so adorable. But I don't like it when you cry. I don't like it at all.

But I can put up with it since it's you."

"Do you think I am crazy? Perhaps I am. But you know what? Who gives a fuck about it? So what if I am crazy? I don't care.

I am crazy for you and I love it."

"I love you. I love you so much that I can do anything for you. I will give you anything. So, please stay with me. Don't leave me, ever."

What the hell was happening? I crouched on the floor as the words started to flood inside my head. I had a dream, just like this. But I did not remember it well. The moment I thought about it, it happened again. It was Demetrius, telling all those things.

His face was scary and he was smiling. But it was scary, his smile was scary. My whole body went numb. I could not think straight. I was scared.

"Stay with me and don't leave me. Forever, I want to have you forever..."

"Stop it!"

"Are you scared? My darling wife, are you scared of me? But you said it's okay. It's okay for me to be with you. So, take me again. Come closer and hold me."

His hand touched my cheek. Even his hand was cold. I did not know what kind of place it was since the only thing I could see was him.

"I always think about you. Do you think about me too? How much? How much do you think about me? Tell me, darling..."

"Please stop it..."

"You know, when I think about my future, you are always there. You are smiling... It's just you and me, just like it's supposed to be. So, won't you be a good girl and make the future possible?"
