am I not alone?

The room was silent and it was about midnight but occasionally echoed with some giggles and the sound of typing on the phone.

Elina kicked around in the air with a wide smile on her face as she texted on her phone...She suddenly realised someone calling her name from downstairs as she slowly got up and opened the door to go down stairs.

A sudden chill ran down her spine, she ignored that feeling to go and see who was calling her but she suddenly stopped on her tracks and was left in terror as she remembers that she's the only one at home

Elina trembles slightly but tries to think that she heard the wrong thing but suddenly, someone called her name again, a sweet, deep and gentle voice of a man.

"Hello my dear" The voice sounded tempting but at the same time, dangerous.

Elina couldn't bring herself to turn back and face the man or to even move as she was scared that the man was a robber with a weapon but she suddenly halt.

"Were...you the one calling my name just now?"

The man chuckled with a deep voice and leaned on the door. "Took you a while to realise that huh, Elina~"

The words were hot under his breath as Elina shivered as she couldn't process what was happening, she turned around to finally face the man and saw a tall man with a weird tattoo on his neck, with black hair and supposedly red eyes.

"How do you know my name-- and more Importantly, how did you get into my house??" Elina asked and spoke again after a pause "are you perhaps what they call a stalker?"

The man chuckled but then kneeled down with one leg respectfully.

"I dare not, your majesty..." "I'm Eren, your most faithful servant...but" he said with a bitter look on his face "i guess you don't remember it.."

Elina stood there confused as she just got approached by a Stanger on her own house and got addressed as 'your majesty' she was confused but at the same time, curious (sometimes curiosity kills the cat)

"What do you mean by that? 'Your majesty'? And what do you mean i have forgotten?

Eren chuckled but with a disappointed tone as he looked at Elina. "You are 'her'." "I can sense your aura" Eren mumbled under his breath as he stepped closer "but just to clarify..." "Can you remove your shirt real quick"

Elina stood there still confused but steps back and shouts in an angry tone "who the f**k tells a girl to remove her shirt whom you just met!" "Crazy pervert"

Eren just sighed and stepped closer "you shouldn't be saying that when you stripped me naked one our first meeting-- well, not like you'll remember that..." Eren looked hurt...but tried to hide it with a smile "now let me check you back...I know you have the symb--"

Elina interrupted "you mean the weird birthmark on my back? Wait...the tattoo on your neck looks identical to--"

Eren suddenly grabbed Elina's shoulder and looked at her intensely in the eyes as he spoke in excitement "I knew it!! Finally, i have finally found you! You have no idea how long I have searched for--" he suddenly paused and released his grip on her as he stepped back with an embarrassed face "I'm sorry, i got a little too excited..."

Elina didn't say anything as she was trying to process what just happened "so are you going to tell me what this whole thing is about?" Elina spoke in a cold tone while she glared at Eren, as if ready to kill him...but suddenly realises it and softens.

Eren laughed with a slightly crazy grin "oh yes, how I missed that look" "I have missed you...I mean, the whole kingdom have missed you so much, princess"

"This is crazy... I'm starting to think that you're mentally unstable at this point" Elina sighed as she sat down on her bed. "Explain"
