MIDNIGHT: Whispers from the Dark Sea のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

At first, Almira wanted to ignore it and go on with what she wanted to do but the knocking turned into banging and soon, they were screaming the prince’s name from outside the door. She glared at the door, humming a dark tune and soon, the bangind died down. She returned her attention to the unconscious man. Her eyes roamed his bare chest, calculating how to run the knife through it without causing any damage to his heart. The sword was not a brilliant choice either. “Princess!!” She heard Kitanna’s voice from outside. Almira groaned inwardly. “Princess you need to stop, the news is everywhere. Soon they’ll flood here with all kinds of mystic creatures and you won’t be able to escape. You have to listen to me please,” She pleaded.Almira dropped the sword and buttoned up his shirt, before pulling the duvet over him. She unlocked the door, to reveal the panicking girl. Before she could utter a word, Almira grabbed her and dragged her in the opposite direction.Pushing open a rand

Kitanna waited anxiously for the Princess’ opinion. Almira stared back at her before snapping her fingers in the girl’s face. Kitanna blinked. “Why are you staring like a moron? What did you want to tell me?” Almira asked and Kitanna blinked again, in confusion then shock. It was all an imagination? When she met Almira’s piercing gaze once again, she cleared her throat. awkwardly.“It’s nothing important,” she dismissed. “I will take care of Dante as agreed,” she added. Almira returned to her drink while Kitanna stared thoughtfully at her. She wondered how Almira would react if she really confessed her feelings for Dante.Better to let it be. Not like the princess would contribute anything positive to her feelings. It was better to confess directly to Dante. She would have enough time with him anyway. Dante didn’t seem like a difficult person to impress. Kitanna got carried away by the thoughts and didn’t notice Almira’s gaze. “What exactly are you thinking about? You’re smiling li

“So what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not running errands?” Kitanna asked Dante. Currently, he was seated on the floor in between her legs as she combed his hair.“Uhmm.. first of all, I don’t have any free time. I spend my day running dozens of errands and when I get a break, which is mostly a minute or two, I use it to catch my breath,” he answered and she chuckled. “You can’t be serious, Dante.”“It’s not a joke. I walk round the clock. You only think I'm free because the princess showed up and everything changed. I’m usually not allowed to do anything other than run errands. A few years ago, the library used to be my sanctuary. Xander was busy with school then so he didn’t have the time to make things difficult for me and my… the king was still in the early stages of his business, so no one had time for me,” Dante told her. “I’m sorry you had to go through all that. It;’s really sad to hear that. I’m glad the princess and I found time to keep you company,” Kitanna sai

Things went from bad to worse in the following days. Ramona became more difficult to handle. She would step over anyone she came across simply because she was a royal and even went as far as declaring herself Queen. For the first time in history, the sirens appreciated the curse. Had the throne been that easy to ascend, no doubt, Ramona would have done that even before Almira sensed her. Ramona took pleasure in frustrating everyone around her. She wanted everyone including Almira to cower before her. Almira was sick of the games. It was barely three days since she returned and the woman had drained her. All she wanted to do was go back to land and spend time with the only human she could stand. She misses him much. Despite that, she couldn't return, not until Ramona returned to whatever hole she crawled out from. "Hello, dearest niece," Ramona's sing-song voice interrupted her thoughts. Aura groaned inwardly. "What happened? You don't look too happy to see me," Ramona chuckle

Kitanna couldn't find Dante anywhere. No matter where she checked and how many times she called out, she got no response from him. She rested the worst. if anything happened to Dante then the princess would definitely deal with her. After searching fruitlessly for him, she inquired from the guards around. He left the palace. Panic cursed through her pains as she ran out of the palace, searching for him. No one was interested in helping her the minute they discovered who she was looking for. "Dante?" She called for the umpteenth time but there was no answer. "Please answer me. Where are you?" Again, no response. The worse was that she couldn't even track his scent. It seemed like he vanished into thin air. Kitanna continued her search until she came upon a sympathetic man."I couldn't help but notice you running around, dear. Permit me to ask what you are searching for?" He asked politely."Dante. I can't seem to find him anywhere," she said, then realized the man probably didn
