Bab 5: The Cat’s identity (2)
Quince looked at Queen's cheerful face and started wondering about her. He doesn't know who she is. It looked to him like she doesn't know who he is either as she is fearless enough to threaten him. Anyone who knows him knows that threatening him would only end up destroying them selves sooner than later. There was a reason his nickname is 'The Silent Killer' after all.
Quince noticed the way Queen walked and her little movements as they were led by the guards. Her mannerisms told him that she was definitely from a noble family. Even though she looked a bit...out of it in Quince's eyes, her composure was elegant as if it's been ingrained in her from a very young age. Her warm caramel colored hair and bright golden eyes, along with her rosy lips were tantalizing, no doubt leaving any man in awe. He was too shocked before to notice her dress or jewelries, so he didn't think she was in the same society as him. At first he thought she was wearing mere accessories from the market but at a closer look, he could see that they were all genuine pieces.
Her light golden dress accentuate her figure, classically highlighting her neckline where the diamond necklace rest. Her pair of diamond earrings further emphasized her overall look, making her one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.
Only after maintaining a rational mind was he able to see all these clues. Her behavior was too strange that he ignored it before.
Queen finally noticed her looking at him. She turned and gave him a bright smile, making him feel a tightening in his chest again. He frowned at his reaction and looked at her without shifting his eyes away.
"Don't stare too much, you are beginning to embarrass me." Queen said, swatting him playfully. She even blushed a little as if she was truly embarrassed. He stared at the hand that hit him coldly. He was trying his best to use his eyes to scare her away. Yet somehow, this girl doesn't seem to see nor care about it at all. She just continued on in her silly manner, incapacitating his attacks.
He thought about lecturing her but even without trying, he knew it would be futile. Even so, he can't let her actions go just like that.
"Strike 1" He said.
Queen simply rolled her eyes at him. Her cat was so stingy with his words except for when he was lecturing her earlier. Any actions or words she did after could not bait him into speaking at all.
"Do you mind clarifying Master Quince?" She teased. Fire seemed to light within Quince's eyes as he heard her mocking tone. There was a warning glint in his eyes before he opened his golden mouth to speak.
"That was strike 1 against me. If it reaches 3, I'll be forced to take action against you." He said.
Queen dramatically opened her eyes wide and stared at him. She was aiming for the innocent and shocked look to garner some pity. Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever as Quince saw that look as a sign of future misbehavior and a sort of challenge against him. It irritated him that she wasn't taking his words seriously and he would never admit it but a part of him also thought she looked cute that way.
They continued walking before reaching the lower deck where rooms for the guests are located. The guards led them to a room that was hidden deep inside. It was a dark and deep spot on this well-lit cruise.
The guard holding the key looked at Queen and wondered if he should open the door. Quince saw his uneasy look and simply said, "Open it."
The guard opened the door quickly. The sight beyond the door left them all speechless.
Queen slowly let go of Quince's arm before slowly walking in. Quince immediately clutched her hand to stop her from proceeding forward.
"Where do you think you are going?" He asked.
"Why Master Quince, inside the room of course." Queen blinked up at him like what she's about to do is the natural course of action.
"No, you won't." He said harshly.
"Why not?" She asked, clearly confused.
"It doesn't concern you." He clenched her hand tighter, trying to convey his message over.
"How silly! Of course it does!"Queen said matter of factly while taking advantage of his gesture to simply drag him inside along with her.
