"Take it, don't worry about me. I will go with the fruits." Killian said before pushing his bowl nearer to me.

I looked at him gratefully before devouring his bowl of porridge too.

From now on, I would try my best to be non-judgmental when I encounter new things. This bowl of porridge surely surprised me.

I wanted to slap the person I was a few minutes ago.

How could I have been skeptical of this heavenly goodness?

"Have some water." Killian said as he brought a glass bottle filled with clear and transparent water to me.

I nodded in appreciation before receiving the bottle of water from him. I opened the cap and gulped the content down.

A clear and refreshing feeling spread from my throat to my chest. The refreshing stream finally stopped in my stomach. It was rejuvenating. "Wow, time flew by so fast." I sighed.

"Let's take a stroll in the garden. I will show you a few lovely places present in the palace. After we are done with that, the next few hours would be the optimum time to guide you on the basics of having a superpower." Killian mapped out our itinerary for the day.

I nodded in agreement and swung my leg to the other side of the bed.

I came down from the bed.

I had been stressed previously. The sleep I got did a number on me. The feeling of tiredness was gone.

I used my eyes to scan my surrounding but I didn't see any hint of the thing I was looking for.

Killian raised his brow, "What are you looking for? I might have seen it somewhere."

"I am looking for the bag you gave me. The one that held my pajamas and a few outing clothes. I can't find it. I remember putting it in this room, it was near the bed." I explained as I rubbed my brows in frustration. "I kept it. Let me get it for you." He responded before rising to his feet.

Killian went into one of the rooms connected to the bed chamber.

It wasn't the one he brought the food from.

Within a few minutes, he was out again. The bag I was looking for was in his hands.

"Here it is." He stretched the hand holding the bag to me, "There is no need for anything glamorous. Just take anything that make you feel comfortable." "Noted." I replied.

I took the bag from his outstretched hand and put it on the bed.

I opened the bag to look through the contents.

Finally, I settled on a very comfortable two-piece outfit. It was presentable to the public and it was comfortable too.

I held the clothes in my hands tightly.

My eyes flitted to Killian but he wasn't looking at me. His eyes was on one of the windows in the room.

His unmoving presence had already given me the answer I was seeking. Killian wasn't going anywhere.

I turned my back to him and changed into the clothes I chose.

As I was changing into my new clothes, I didn't feel his heated gaze on me for one moment.

I was thankful for that.

People like Killian were very sensitive to their surroundings. He might not be looking at me but he was very very aware of whatever I am doing.

I wasn't very satisfied with his presence but I wasn't annoyed with it either.

I just didn't want Killian to see my body yet.

The previous clothes Maol provided for me when I arrived at this palace left nothing to the imagination. Still, seeing me naked was different to me.

I don't know why I was feeling shy.

If my plans with Killian goes well, we would be seeing each other's bodies frequently in the future.

My feelings for that possibility was complicated.

Still, I could set my mind at rest with the fact that he wasn't staring directly at my body.

"I'm done." I said before turning around to meet Killian's deep eyes.

I didn't know when he turned around.

I stopped myself from having more thoughts along that line.

He smiled in acknowledgment before his long legs closed the distance between us.

His right hand lifted my jaw upwards.

Killian's heated breath on the sensitive skin on my face made my heart race.

I didn't know where to put my hands and I didn't know where to look.

My eyes kept moving in every possible direction.

His thumb outlined the shape of my bottom lip as it moved slowly.

"Heartbeat, you are beautiful you just take my breath away effortlessly." Killian muttered.

My eyes widened as I tried to keep a straight face.

He glanced at my red ears for a brief second before smiling.

Killian leaned down and left a kiss in the middle of my brows.

He straightened up soon after.

He walked out of the bed chamber at a medium pace. I paused for a few seconds, looking like an idiot.

The area he kissed felt like it was burning up.

"Are you coming or not?" Killian called out in a playful tone.

"I am." I replied before moving to catch up to him.

The guards didn't even glance at us as we moved past them.

We walked around for a little bit. Finally, Killian stopped in front of a door.

His hands twisted the knob before pushing the door open.

I followed him.

The place we walked into was huge and beautiful. Big windows that let ample sunlight in was placed in strategic places that was connected to the hall.

The hall was not bare. It wasn't filled up either. The hall didn't have anything except framed pictures.

Some of the framed pictures were small while some were huge.

The largest picture in this place was the one that featured Killian's enigmatic self.

The Killian in the framed photo had no smile.

"This is similar to an hall of fame, if you would like to call it that. Past kings and their families are in this place, forever immortalized. That is the meaning and purpose these people liked to attach to this place. That is the words they use to comfort themselves." Killian explained, "I wasn't framed in this hall until I ascended the throne. This was when I realized that the thing I have been longing for since I was a little boy was not special."

The silent hall echoed his words.

The eyes of the people in the static picture frames stared at us as we walked past.

Killian continued, "This place is useless. I see no benefit in putting our framed pictures in this hall. I put my picture in this hall anyway. I didn't remove it after knowing how useless this whole hall is. I can't explain why I didn't remove my picture. You just have to know that my feelings for this place is complicated."

I nodded, "True, some of the things we long for with all our might, strength and everything else turns out to be so mundane when we achieve it. The person might start wondering why he or she was desiring to achieve this wish in the first place. I understand you perfectly."
