"Say… shall we have an affair?"
My eyes slowly grew wide as my mind stopped functioning for a second. His words just killed half of my brain cells. Stefan really lost it, did he?
"I never liked sharing, but having so is better than having none."
"!!!" Did he leave his brain sowhere? Or was this just the alcohol? Either way, his words still stung my heart.
'Why, now?' my mind asked in disbelief.
"I asked you before, if I t you first, loved you first, cherished you first… and chose you, do you think we will be in this situation?" he inquired, with his grip tightening.
I stared at him for a mont, clenching my teeth as hard as I could. "I will pretend I didn't hear you, Your Majesty. Please let go."
Stefan glanced at my wrist as I tried to pull it away, but he clutched even tighter. He shifted his eyes back to while the corner of his lips curled up.
"Do I really have to let you go? Again?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand why you are acting like this. However, you're hurting ." My eyes sharpened as my hand balled into a fist. "Please. Let go or I might commit treason."
"By committing treason, do you an you will kill?"
"Definitely." My answer ca out as quick as a bolt of lightning.
I just wanted him to let be, just like what he did for the past seven years after abandoning . If he had chosen his duties over , he should keep acting that way until the end. There was no need for us to live in the past as what happened in the past shall remain where they belonged.
If only I could say that aloud, I would've done it. But doing so would expose the fact that I retrieved my stolen mories.
"I don't want to do this, but let's go inside." Stefan let go and cocked his head towards the room.
"Have you been listening —!" my breath hitched as my eyes dilated. He was testing by the power of sire! If I didn't listen to him, he would know that his words didn't influence anymore.
"Hah! Haha!" A scoff followed by a ridiculing laugh escaped my mouth as the little respect I had for him pumled six feet under the ground. "Sure. Let's go in."
My tone laced with clear dismay as I ground my teeth and stord my way inside. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I stopped in the middle of the room while hearing the door close.
"You really are a scum, a trash, and a piece of shit," I mumbled as my patience started to run thin.
"I can hear you."
I turned my head back to him. "Good. I want you to hear it."
"Calm down and take a sit." Stefan only glanced at nonchalantly as he perked his chin towards the set of divans in the room.
The nerve to act as if this was his room. I watched Stefan walked towards the long divan and plopped his butt down comfortably.
'Calm down, Lilou. Just play along. Calm down.' I told myself and dragged my feet towards the opposite sofa to sit on.
Stefan and I didn't speak for a very, very long ti. He was just there, staring at while blinking ever so slowly.
"Your Majesty, I am a human who needs so sleep." I broke the silence that dawned upon us when I couldn't take it anymore.
"Then sleep."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "How dare I sleep in the presence of the king?"
"The king you called a scum? A trash? And a piece of shit?" Stefan raised a brow and cocked his head to the side. "You really are very polite, huh?"
"This jer…" I bit my tongue, suppressing the urge to curse him like how I used to do.
Stefan chuckled in amusent. "Even before, you really are quite entertaining to watch."
"Even before…?" I pointed out, despite knowing what he ant. "… what do you an by that, Your Majesty?"
"Back when we're still lovers?"
"Lovers?" I scoffed and gazed at him with disdain. Although he wasn't lying, both, and I knew that our relationship was barely called a relationship between lovers. It just sort of ended up that way.
"You can't rember it, but you used to cling to as if I was your dear life." Stefan leaned back, crossing his arms with his eyes still on . "Those tis that you only look in my direction. Only smile for , and would give your life to ."
"I don't rember any of them." I denied it without batting an eye. "Are you sure you're not mistaking for soone else?"
"Are you deaf? I just told you, you can't rember it right now." Stefan cast a look of pity that was surely aggravating.
A defeated sigh slipped past my lips. "If I can't rember it, that only ans you had robbed it from . So, why are you telling that now?"
"I don't know? Maybe, because I dropped my brain on the way here."
"Maybe? But I can tell that's what happened for sure?"
"You make want to think you are just denying not to rember, Lilou." My breath hitched with his remarks. "But that's impossible… right? I guess a person's nature is hard to change."
"Your Majesty, how can you expect to be polite when you are inside my room in the middle of the night? Refrained from fetching water to drink, making stay up late, and used to power of sire to make obey?"
"You're right. You always hate being underestimated and people deciding for you." He nodded in understanding, making heave a sigh of relief. "Anyway, I ca here to seduce you."
My expression finally bid goodbye. "Did you consider failing?"
"I didn't. I just know I will seduce you and fail." Stefan shrugged, making wonder if he finally sobered up.
"Good."
Stefan quirked a brow as he gazed at . "I saw Hell's future," He said, breaking the silence before it would consu us.
"Sam?"
"Mhm. I saw his head... served to you on a silver platter."
