10. A Call From His Lordship

"My Lady, you smell somewhat filthy like... em... em... em..." She withdraws her closeness to scowling a weird stare at Naya, this way, Naya blink at her in anticipation of what she will say next, even though the word filthy already killed her prospect,

"This is why Queen Mother said you should dress up," Nurret whispered, how can she say to Her Lady as filthy? She feels remorseful for letting that slip out of her lips.

Naya squelches back on the bed, her heart skipping from the sudden sadness that befalls her, "By tonight, Nick must transmit his werewolf scent to me, tonight makes the last day of the 14 days I used in carrying his scent. By bathing, the scent will be reduced and His Lordship might be able to perceive my human scent,"

"You said he is one of a Kind Werewolf,"

Nurret nods,

Thinking about it, Naya is right, the werewolf scent can only last on her for 14 days after which she will need to renew it from Nick, it was his scent she has been using these whole years, and if His Lordship finds out about this secret...

'Gosh! This is too scary to imagine!' Nurret shut her eyes closed and open, she narrow it on Her Lady sympathetically.

"My Lady, Nothing like that will happen, Queen mother only foreseen it but it has not happened yet, His Lordship did not know about your existence how possible will he ask about you?"

Naya blink her eyes, what Nurret said is the truth. Under what circumstances will His Lordship ask of her? But Queen Mother, every event she has foreseen always fulfilled.

She huff, feeling somewhat miserable in her heart?

She look into Nurret's eyes exactly the usual way she always looked into others' eyes in her Modern World, however, nothing popped out from Nurret's eyes to give her a clue about what Nurret was thinking.

"I've lost the ability in this world" She mumbled.

"Huh?" Nurret asked,

"I will bath and hurry out, you don't need to do that for me... Okay?"

Naya replied, solemnly with the downfall of her heart, she stood from the bed.

After Naya finished taking her bath, Nurret dress her up by sitting her before the dresser, styling her hair.

"You shouldn't bother with huge style, you know I will soon sleep,"

Nurret smiles, she has to do this in case His Lordship called for her, if not, Her Lady would have sat her down to read a novel till she fall asleep,

"Yes, My Lady, I always love the way you look whenever I styled your hair like this style. It radiates your beautiful the more,"

Naya chuckles, looking at her reflection, it indeed radiates her beauty, she couldn't help but smile inwardly, how will His Lordship feel at their first sight?

Will he huff at her scarily or admire her intent beauty? Naya smiles the more.

Nurret smiles alongside seem the way Her Lady smiles extend those smiles to her, "My Lady, I just imagine how the King will..."

"What!" Naya cut her up abruptly, how can she say exactly what she was thinking?

"You've been naughty these days Nurret!" She added simply.

Nurret chuckles into her palm, "My Lady, that reminds me, I have a gift for you, I've been wanting to give you, I believe today makes a perfect time,"

Naya stood by the mirror swaying her long off-shoulder red gown, tossing to see how beautiful it looks upon her. Her hair was styled into half-parts to packed in a single bun meanwhile, the first half was picked to fold on one another while the other half was curled severally and packed in the bun.

"What could that be? You make me curious," Her breathe asked, focusing on herself by the mirror.

Nurret squelched by the dresser, she brought out a wrapped parcel from the last drawer, "My Lady, Inside this parcel was a fragrance, I specially made it to give you."

She shows it to Naya paying her respect, Naya smirks horrifying, Nurret is not only the King's handmaid, but she is also very talented in computing different Nectar flowers together to produce fragrance for the King and his household.

Naya wasn't much surprised to receive one from her.

"You prepare me a fragrance? That was from my drawer?"

"Yes, My Lady, I have kept It there to give you but hardly did you stay at home these days."

Naya open the parcel, curious to see how attractive the scent would be or maybe that can help her suppress her human scent?

"What? Nurret?!" She smells it again.

"This is exactly Nick's werewolf scent, how did you make it?!"

She spread it over her body, "Wow! You surprised me Nurret!" She giggled.

"I'm very pleased you love it, my Lady, I've spent these years thinking about how I can be of help to you with my talent."

"It's a relief I found a means," She curtsied.

Naya stares at the fragrance admirably, somehow she feels butterflies in her stomach for growing up amidst those that love her,

"This!" She waves it to her excitedly, "I will cherish it Nurret!"

Nurret feel damn happy that her lady admire it, she bowed with more respect, "It's my honor, My Lady!"

Just then, Cyla rush inside, "My Princess,

His Lordship has sent for you!"

"What?!"

Naya feels several shivers running down her spine, her heart skipping, "Only me?!"

"Together with Prince Nickdrah, he is outside waiting for you,"

Naya feels weaken to her knees, she steps back on her legs, staggering, Nurret hurriedly support to make her stand,

"Nick!"

"Nick!"

She rushed out wailing his name,

Nick on his side was waiting outside her chamber, immediately she step outside, she bumped on him unknowingly,

"Nick..."

Her remaining words strangled within her throat, her lips open apart, likewise, Nick was descending his gaze on her, he was calmed under his styled hair, obviously giving him a manly look that Naya had never seen, no! That she has never noticed, her chest seems broader than what she thought it to be, likewise his dark pupils from his greyish eyes sparks glittering than what she knows him for.

"em...em... His Lordship..." They both said simultaneously,

Nick cleared his throat, he summon his hand to ask her to speak first, Naya blinks as she speaks nervously,

"I'm curious right now, His Lordship truly called for us this time? How did he get to know? Does he by any chance see us outside?" She rants, and her hands nervously dance over each other.

She was bright and appealing earlier like she'd ready to meet His Lordship, why does she feel an extreme tension suddenly? She was confused within her.

"I'm also curious... Princess Tinaya, I'm by your side, you know," Nick muttered with smiles, a way to give her confidence even though he knew he lack that on his stand.

Naya nods reciprocating his smile, although, she could not deduce if It was a genuine or fake smile.

At least this can give Nick confidence.

Nick holds her hand and walks towards the King's Quarter.
