Chapter 29

**Acacia Point of View**

Look at this human looking filthy virus!

I'm speechless. Genuinely and utterly speechless!

How, species called 'men' can act so shamelessly? I want to know from where they grow such thick skin from.

Biting down on my inner cheek, I, with my son in my arms, marched back to the bedroom I spent these past few months in. The maidservant woman followed me ritually without questioning me or reprimanding me like others which I'm thankful for.

At least one sensible person is here in this damned place!

I didn't care if jerk followed me or not, I just stomped back to my room like an angry lion. Considering how I just woke up after the delivery and after God knows how many days, I was not feeling particularly healthy and strong but having my little baby in my arms injected me with some healthy amount of determination and strength.

On the way back, the household staff of this cursed castle bowed and curtsied to me which I find extremely annoying at this point.

I mean, I don't know what is going on here. I don't know how long has it been before I lost my consciousness.

I know there is something dangerously wrong with this place and people here but cannot place a finger on what it is.

Heck, I literally saw people appearing before me out of thin air while I was in labor and I don't know whether I was mad and hallucinating or if what I saw was right.

With more and more questions piling up in my mind and more and more confusion tearing my heart, do people expect me to shake my belly with joy when some staff bowed to me respectfully?

Back in the bedroom, I placed my baby gently in the crib and covered him with a small baby woolen blanket. Making sure he is deeply in sleep, I walked to couch which was a little away from the crib and sat there waiting for the woman who was assisting me to realize I want to have a chat with her.

It didn't take that long though; she immediately followed and stood before me with her hands held in front of her politely.

"How long was I was unconscious after giving birth?" I asked. From my hazy memory from before, this woman wasn't one of those who appeared out of blue from thin air while was in labor.

"My lady, one and a half day." Her answer choked me causing me dry cough.

"I'm sorry?" I exclaimed.

One and a half day? Is she telling me that my son whom I thought would be at least six years old just an hour ago, who is thankfully still a small little infant, is only one and a half day old?

Which means, I did not miss any important days and moments in his growing time.

Which means, it has really been one and a half day?

I don't want to believe it but looking at the crib and my dear baby in it, he really looks exactly the same as the minute he was born.

In that case –

"Hold on for a minute, so –" I walked to the window that has a good view of most of the island and pointed my finger out for the assistant woman to see. "All this, everything out there, all that I and you are seeing right now, was build in one and a half day?"

"It was built in the same one and half day time when I was tired from child birth and slept away the exhaustion?" I continued as I kept on looking between the huge city outside the window and the assistant woman before me.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

She did not say anything but she looked troubled though. I don't know and to be honest, I don't want to know what is troubling her but I need answers.

Just what exactly is going on here?

Why everything around me is questioning my knowledge and belief in science?

People appear and disappear in a blink.

A huge city can be built in one day and thousands of people appear suddenly and live here as if they have been living here for centuries.

All the people here are so anti-technology and culturally-ancient.

How can someone find these things normal?

"I'm really tongue-tied right now." I scoffed in disbelief. "Fine. Fine I will have the answers from the jerk himself." I sighed when I realized she cannot answer my questions.

Asking her to prepare the bath and food for me, I released her from her tension. After warm water was arranged for me, I realized I shouldn't take a bath for a few days given I only gave birth a day ago so I wiped my body with a wet towel.

By the time I finished some light bland food, the honorable jerk walked inside my bedroom as if he owns it.

Of course, he really does own it but since I'm currently occupying it, I am the owner of this room and he just walked in without even knocking.

And to people here, he is a King! Such a well mannered king!

Wiping my mouth with a napkin, I sat back comfortably on the bed and waited for the assistant woman, Circe, whose name I came to know few minutes ago, to walk out of the room.

"How are you feeling now?" I heard him ask me.

He walked to the chair that was right beside the bed and sat down on it. Facing me, he gave me an inquisite glance.

"Happy. Can't you tell from the glow of my face?" I had always been a docile tongued girl. Never had I thought I would one day become sarcastic.

I never knew there was a fierce bone in me.

Indeed, time can change anything.

Jerk smirked at my reply and raised a brow at me mockingly. "Indeed you look absolutely pleasant."

Sneering angrily, I gripped the blanket in my hand tightly, controlling myself from slapping his face.

Oh, how I wish I can kill him right this moment! Pity, I need answers before I do the deed.

"I had tough time in handling you all these past months." He said suddenly with a small smile of nostalgia.

To say I nearly puked at that smile was an understatement.

"I'm sorry. My apologies to the great Majesty for causing you trouble." I replied back with a genuinely apologetic smile in return.

This man is putting God of shamelessness to shame with his shamelessness.

"I didn't know you have a poisonous tongue." He said very casually and offhandedly as if he really is a God who is invincible and can offend me as much as he like.

Alright, game on then.

"I apologize again to the Majesty for unintentionally concealing my ability in various modes of speech from you. But, Your Majesty, you should know that it was absolutely unintentional. You should understand that I did not meet anyone who brought poisonous tongue out of me until now." I spoke gently and very politely.

Of course, gently and politely is fake.

I need to hold my urge to hurt him and kill him until I get all my answers. No matter how much I despise him and furious at him, he is still the only person who can give all the answers to my questions.

"Now, if Majesty is in mood for it, please release this peasant from curiosity and tell me what the hell is going on here."

A sinister smirk took over his face and he stared down at me with dangerous glint in his eyes.

Put aside that smirk for a moment and let's take a look at that dangerous glint; it was clear he was playing with me all along and he was challenging me, telling me I cannot do anything at all.

That glint was to tell me how he is in power here and how he can choose to tell or not tell me anything.

Oh well then!

I returned back the exact same glint back to him, "Talk. Don't for a second think that just because you have secrets that defy science, you could scare me or maybe manipulate me. To tell you honestly, I get braver when I get scared."

"Oh I know. But I just don't know if you can handle the truth. Can you really digest what I am about to say?" He stood up and extruded his almighty the great and vicious aura which did not do anything to me in particular.

Did he think I would find him charming or handsome or whatever he wants to show me?

To my eyes, he looks absolutely dirty. No pun intended.

But, he is so tall. I mean, he is really and truly very tall. With a muscular build it doesn't look awkward but looks like he is nearly seven foot tall.

A Titan!

"I'm the ruler here. The King." He spoke proudly.

Well, good for you. So what?

"Oh I got that fact straight already. Tell me something that isn't obvious." The sarcasm that is flowing out of my mouth is surprising me.

I never knew I had this in me.

"Then you must've already guessed the obvious fact that you are my Queen." He said, shrugging at me.

Say what now?
