Ghea’s Help (2)
Luna sighed heavily and looked at the evening sky. The time Alkrevas had given her was up, and she was waiting for him in the chamber’s waiting room. Occasionally, her foot tapped nervously while her hands fidgeted with the teacup. “Miss, is something bothering you?”
Luna slowly shook her head and replied, “I’m just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor.” Just as she said that the door opened, and Alkrevas walked in with a relaxed expression. He signaled Judith and the other servants to leave and then closed the door tightly, not forgetting to lock it. He leaned against the door and looked at Luna sitting on the sofa. “Why are you looking at me like that? What do you want from me?”
“Your answer.” Alkrevas straightened up and walked closer to the sofa, adding, “You won’t regret your decision if you give me a chance, Luna. Just say yes. Then you’ll get what you want from me, whether it’s wealth, power, or even…” He finally stood directly behind the sofa, touching Luna’s ear.
“… me.” Alkrevas whispered sensually, successfully making Luna shiver. “There’s no harm, is there? If it doesn’t work out, I’ll personally take you back to your world. I’ve also ensured that Norris won’t confront you until you’re ready. Everything according to your wishes. I’ll also give you your belongings.”
Luna sighed heavily. She drank the cold tea and murmured, “Can’t you give me more time?” Then Luna stood up, taking a deep breath. She lowered her head, her hands hanging by her sides, clenched tightly. Then she looked up, turned around, and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance.”
Alkrevas grinned in satisfaction but quickly replaced it with a small smile. “You won’t regret your decision.” Then Alkrevas walked into the bedroom, making Luna wonder what he was doing, but it didn’t take long for him to return, this time with Luna’s belongings in his hands. “Now, change into your clothes.”
Luna felt her eye twitch in annoyance. She walked over and took the items from Alkrevas. She checked her smartphone and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no scratches or cracks on the LCD screen. The last thing she needed was a broken phone. Ignoring Alkrevas, who was watching her closely, she focused on turning on her phone to ensure nothing was wrong. Then, a mischievous idea suddenly popped into her head. When she returns, she’ll need evidence, right? As soon as her phone was on, Luna opened the camera app and quickly took a photo of Alkrevas. He blinked and asked, “What did you just do?”
“Making evidence.” Then she turned off her phone again.
“What is that thing?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Luna waved her phone in the air, smiling smugly. “This? This is called technology, Your Majesty.” Then Luna walked to the bedroom and added, “Now, I must carry out your order and change my clothes.”

After much effort, Luna finally managed to remove her gown and put on her maroon dress. Seeing the dress clinging to her body in the mirror’s reflection reminded her of Nicole’s recent shopping trip to the mall to find this dress for the auction event. Luna sighed deeply, put on her heels, and let her hair down, allowing it to cascade beautifully.
She moved from side to side, smiling with relief that the dress still fit her. During her time at the imperial palace, she had abandoned her strict diet and ate as much as she could, influenced by Judith and the maids who constantly complained about her being too skinny. Luna hummed softly, feeling more comfortable and like herself in her maroon dress.
Her solitude was interrupted when she noticed a rabbit entering through the window. Luna quickly turned and frowned. She walked over to the rabbit, bent down, picked it up, and whispered, “What are you doing here, little rabbit?” But as soon as she asked, the rabbit in her hands turned into cotton, leaving a small piece of paper in her hand. When Luna opened the paper, her heart began to race.
‘Luna, you haven’t forgotten my struggle, have you? Everything I did, I did to help you. I am your friend, just as you are mine.’
What did the woman mean? How did her writing suggest that Ghea knew about her decision? It couldn’t be possible. She couldn’t think badly of Ghea; the woman was reminding her, afraid Luna might forget what had happened. After all, Luna was the one who sought Ghea’s help first. Luna reread Ghea’s message.
‘I have found the right time to help you return to your world. Three days from now. Meet me at the cafe in the town square, where you waited for me before. I’m sure you remember because it’s where you first saw Emperor Vasilos. As I said, bring your belongings. Beth and Abigail have prepared everything. I will wait for you at two in the afternoon.’
After reading the note, it suddenly burst into flames and turned to ash. Luna didn’t know what to do. She collapsed to the floor, grabbing her hair in frustration. Closing her eyes, she screamed silently. She didn’t know what to do, but one thing was sure-she had to meet and talk to Ghea.
With that thought, Luna calmed her heart, slowly stood up, and confidently walked out of her room. She stood in the middle of the sitting room where Alkrevas was. Luna showed a sullen face and said, “Are you satisfied?” Initially, she didn’t look at Alkrevas, but when she did, her breath caught. Alkrevas’ brown eyes were full of intense emotions. His gaze was filled with anger, lust, possessiveness, adoration, and jealousy, but what dominated the most were lust and envy. He slowly stood up and growled deeply, the Alpha aura around him intensely dominating the surroundings, making Luna tremble.
“What is that? What’s with that outfit? As I suspected! That’s not a dress but a camisole!” Alkrevas said furiously. “You wore that outfit in front of other men? Showing off your body’s curves?” He added angrily, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“I can’t believe this.” Then, in a flash, Alkrevas approached Luna and, without permission, seized her lips in a possessive kiss. He pulled back briefly, sneering coldly. “One more thing you forget, Luna. If you say yes, that means you consent to me touching you again.”
“What?” Luna whispered before her eyes widened as Alkrevas kissed her harshly and punishingly. One of his hands gripped Luna’s waist possessively while the other tightly grabbed her flowing hair.
