NOELLE'S POV,The rest of the week Roan and I practice water magic every day from dusk till dawn. On the first day, he explained to me that magic can't stay inside. It is like a well that fills up, it needs to be released otherwise the well runs over. When that happens you have no control over your magic, and you don't know what the outburst will do to people close by.So, every day we start with doing some magic meditation. Simple peaceful spells just to make sure my magic does not get bottled up. The magic we do in the meditation is quite fun. I can make small rainclouds, make shapes out of the water like butterflies for example and make fun currents in the water for little sea turtles and sea horses.But that's the fun part the rest of the day we practice more advanced stuff like protection and battle magic. So far, I have been able to make a small shield. Roan can make protective air bubbles as big as cities. Today however we are going to try making a vortex.
NOELLE'S POV,I wake up hours later laying in my bed. I see Roan sitting next to me and he is holding my hand. Immediately the events of the day before start coming back to me and I start to tremble and cry.''O Noelle,'' Roan says with a warm voice and he takes me in his arms. He rocks me for a while until I start to calm down.He takes my face in his hands and says, ''I'm so sorry I was not there on time Noelle, I should have never let you go back alone.''I look away and ask, ''What happened to the men?''Roan gets an annoyed look on his face and answers, ''You don't have to worry about them anymore they are dead.''When I think about them, I can still feel them on my body.''Good,'' I say.Roan puts a kiss on my forehead, ''I have some things I need to do but I will come back later to check on you. You should try to get some more rest. I will ask Maya to keep you company in the meantime.''I still feel very tired, so
NOELLE'S POV,It feels like Roan, and I have gotten much closer since our day with the sea horses. We spend as much time with each other as possible. We also have picked up the magic practice again now that my power has come back.We just got back from today's session where I learned to make waves. When we walk into the living room, we hear voices. Roan pulls me behind a curtain, and he starts kissing me. I have to giggle because it feels like we are doing something bad.Julias walks into the room, so Roan puts his hand over my mouth to shut me up. I take his finger and put it in my mouth and suck it while I look Roan in the eyes. His breathing becomes heavy quickly and he stares at my mouth. The moment gets ruined because we hear Julias growl, ''WRAAH.''I peek from behind the curtain and see Julias stand in front of a mirror. He is getting in all kinds of bodybuilder positions while making beastly sounds. He shouts, ''YOU ARE THE MAN, YOU ARE A LOVE MACHINE.''
NOELLE'S POV,I am still smiling while eating breakfast. Yesterday was such a great day. I never would have thought I would feel so good in the Sea Realm on the day I got chosen.No one is joining me for breakfast today though and the servants all seem super busy. Maya comes into the dining room, so I decide to ask her what's going on.''Maya where is everyone so busy with?''Maya walks towards me and says, ''We are preparing for the Midsummer celebration tomorrow.''I look at her curious, ''Ow what is that?''Maya already walks away again, ''I'm sorry Noelle I have so much to do still. You should ask King Roan; I think he is in his study.''And then she is gone. After breakfast, I go to the study where I see Roan covered over some papers.''Hej,'' I say.He looks up and his gaze softens when he sees that it's me. ''Hi, good morning. Can I do something for you?''''I was just wondering what the midsummer celebration is that everyone
NOELLE'S POVWhen I wake up, I am still not sure if I want to go to the midsummer celebration tonight. I feel a bit depressed and for the first time since my stay, I don't go eat breakfast. I stay in bed twisting and turning until I hear a knock on the door.''Can I come in?'' I hear Maya ask.''Yes, you may.''Maya walks in with a beautiful white dress in her hands.''I have your dress for tonight here, you want me to help you get ready?''I go sit on the edge of the bed and answer, ''I'm not sure if I want to go.''Maya looks at me confused, ''Why not? It's the most fun evening of the year.''I sigh, ''I just don't think I will enjoy looking at King Roan performing the ceremony.''Maya sits next to me, ''Aha well I can't decide for you if you want to go look, but it would be a shame to be stuck in your room all day. The whole city is beautiful tonight so you can still dress up and enjoy taking in the sights.''I stand u
KING ROAN HIS POV,Roan takes a deep sigh after Noelle just stormed out of his office. That conversation definitely didn't go the way he wanted it to go. Somewhere he had hoped that she would be okay with doing the ceremony with him.It wouldn't have been the most romantic way but still, it was an honor to be picked. If only that damn attack didn't happen. His blood begins to boil again by just thinking about it. Hella is really pushing her boundaries, but then again what can he do against someone so powerful as her. And it certainly would not do his people any good.He feels so frustrated because he was making such great progress with Noelle. She was actually starting to like him and if he has sex with someone else it would be a huge setback for them.Maybe even something they wouldn't be able to recover from. On the other hand, he cannot disappoint his people. How can they trust him if he doesn't follow the traditions and sets the example?Hours later he s
NOELLE'S POV,I walk hand in hand with Roan out of the gardens. He then stops and says, ''I have a surprise for you, so I want you to put this blindfold on.''He walks behind me and puts the blindfold over my eyes. The only thing I see is darkness and I feel his hands go over my shoulders to my waist. His touch makes a shiver go through my body. He then takes my hand again and pulls me forward. We walk for what seems to be about 10 minutes when he holds still.When I open my eyes, we are standing in a cave whose walls are filled with crystals in blue, purple, and green. It almost looks like a galaxy. On the floor, there are lots and lots of candles. It's the most romantic place I have ever seen.I suck in my breath and say, ''O Roan It's beautiful.''I look at him happily and a bit emotional.''I am glad you like it, I wanted to show you how much you mean to me.''''Why didn't you perform the ceremony?'' I ask.Roan takes bot
NOELLE'S POV,I wake up in Roan's arms the next day. He is still fast asleep his chest going up and down calmly. I kiss him softly and he grunts, ''Come here you.''He grabs my leg and puts it over his belly. His hand squeezes my butt while his other hand pulls my head closer to him. He kisses me with lazy slow strokes and his hand travels from my butt to the inside of my legs.I pull away from him and say, ''No Roan I am still a bit sore from yesterday, sorry.''He caresses my face and says, ''Okay no problem I can wait.''Then he plants a kiss on my nose.''You want to get some breakfast?''I jump up and say, ''Yes sounds good.''I honestly don't think I have ever said no to food. We walk back to the castle and just want to go to the dining room when a servant comes running.''My King a letter has arrived,'' he pants while he hands over an envelope to Roan.Roan stands still and opens the letter; I can see his face get furiou
