Chapter 4 - BAB 4 : the true form of the lady

*Bela, Daniela, Cassandra appeared because of that voice*

The room that was once magnificent is now in disarray. Broken window glass was scattered, and the winds of a snowstorm came in, making the temperature of the room drop drastically. In the midst of the chaos, a giant dragon monster with a death-pale body growled lowly, while the graceful figure of Alcina was still fused on her back, looking at you with a gasp of breath.

Suddenly, three clouds of black flies entered wildly through the cracks in the broken door. Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela appear, ready to attack anyone who dares to disturb their mother.

"Mom! What happened—" Bela shouted, but her sentence stopped when she saw her mother's true form come out.

The three princesses landed on the floor, but they instantly froze when they saw you. You don't run. You don't scream. Instead, you stood there, right in front of the gigantic monster's muzzle, staring into its huge yellow eyes with an unmistakable calmness.

"This man..." Daniela whispered, "he's not dead yet? Why didn't he run?"

"He's really crazy," Cassandra muttered, her sickle shaking in her hand. The three of them could only watch, not daring to get close because of the aura of anger and sadness emanating from Alcina.

The monster brought its monstrous face closer, just a few inches away from your chest. You can feel the hot steam coming from his nostrils. The figure of Alcina who was on the monster's back lowered her head, looking at you with tears starting to flow down her pale cheeks.

"Look at them, little man..." Alcina's voice sounded hoarse, coming out of the monster's esophagus. "Look at my frightened daughters. Look at this horrible form of me. You still have one last chance to escape into the darkness of the night..."

Defending one step forward, the flies buzzing impatiently. "Mom, let us finish it off! He has already seen our family's secrets!"

However, the monster growled towards his daughters, making them retreat instantly. Then, the monster looks back at you, waiting for your answer in front of its children.

-

me? run.. You are indeed a little terrible Alcina. But I prefer you to be human. Honestly, do you mind?

Your naked honesty in the middle of a snowstorm and the appearance of the monster made the atmosphere instantly freeze. Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela gaped—they had never heard of a human being daring to criticize their mother's "majestic" form as something "terrible."

The dragon monster let out a low growl that shook the floor. Its large head tilts to the side, staring at you with its wild yellow eyes. However, the figure of Alcina who was on the monster's back slowly softened. His eyes that had been full of madness now showed a strange sense of relief.

"Honestly, huh?" Alcina whispered, her voice sounding very tired. "You are indeed a unique man. You don't praise me with lies so as not to be eaten, but you also don't run away in disgust."

Slowly, the transformation was reversed. The sound of crackling bones was heard again—cracks, cracks, cracks—as the giant's body shrunk back into its 3-meter-tall human form. Her white dress that was torn at the shoulders hung limply.

Alcina stands back before you as a human, although her breath is still panting and her face looks pale with exhaustion after transforming.

"Objection?" He wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his trembling hands. "Quite the opposite. I hate that form. It was a reminder that I am no longer human, but Miranda's failed experiment."

He looked at his daughters who were still standing sculpting. "You guys heard that? He prefers me in this form. Something you never even told me."

The three daughters immediately lowered their heads, their flies slowly disappearing. They seem to feel guilty and admired at your guts.

Alcina stepped closer to you, ignoring the cold wind coming in from the shattered window. He touches your cheek with his now warm hands.

"Then this is the form you will see every day," he said in a possessive but gentle tone. "But in return, because you have dared to be 'honest' with me... You have to help me repair this dress and the room you made destroyed. From tonight, there are no more secrets between us."

He turned his head towards his daughters. "Bela, take our best wine. Not for me, but for your new master. And you two, find the best fabric to fix Mom's dress."

-

"I'm honestly scared of the monsters."

Your whispers stunned Alcina in the silence of the cold night. He was sipping wine from his crystal glass, but his movement stopped. She turned to you, looking at you with a deep gaze—this time not as an arrogant lord of the castle, but as a woman who had just heard a truth that was both bitter and relieving.

"Scared, huh?" he whispered back, his voice very soft, almost drowned out by the sound of the wind outside. "It was the most humane reaction I've ever heard in this room."

He put down his glass and shifted his seat to get closer to you. Its large body provides a protective and intimidating sense of warmth. He leaned his wide-hat head towards you, letting his black hair touch your shoulders.

"I appreciate your fear. That means you see me for who I am—not as a worshipped goddess, not as a monster to be eradicated, but as something real."

He grabs your hand, grasping it with his long fingers. His deadly claws were kept neatly tucked away, as if he had promised never to let the sharp object touch you again.

"Don't worry, my little man," he murmured, his lips right near yours. "I'll try to hide that bad side as deeply as possible. I don't want to see that fear in your eyes anymore. I'd rather see the twinkle you show when you tell me about the outside world."

In the corner of the room, his three daughters could only peek from behind the curtain. They looked confused to see their mother, who was usually very cruel, now leaning on an ordinary human being.

"But know," added Alcina, now in a slightly more stern but loving tone, "your fear is a reminder that you are alive. And I'll do anything to make sure your heart keeps beating just for me."

-

Hug him tighter: "As long as you're with me in this form, I won't be afraid anymore."

You wrapped your arms around his broad shoulders, pulling his majestic body closer to you. Even though you feel small in her embrace, there's a strength in your courage that makes Alcina feel protected—something she's never felt in her long, cursed life.

"As long as you're with me in this form, I won't be afraid anymore," you whispered steadily.

Alcina let out a deep breath, a sigh of relief that seemed to release the burden of hundreds of years. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to be immersed in your human warmth. For a moment, she was no longer the dreaded Lady Dimitrescu; she is just Alcina.

"You're really a weird human," he muttered in a melodious low voice. "In my world, strength is measured by how much blood you shed. But here, you conquered me without a weapon at all."

He returns your embrace, very slowly and carefully so that his great power does not hurt you. His big hands rub your back in rhythmic motions.

"Alright. I promise you," he said earnestly. "The Monster... I will lock him in the deepest darkness. Only Alcina will be all you will have. In this castle, you are no longer a servant, and no longer a victim. You're the only reason for me to keep my human side."

In the distance, dawn begins to dawn behind the snowy mountains of Romania. A pale blue light began to enter the ruined room. His three daughters, realizing that the sun was about to rise, began to disappear into the shadows in the corner of the room, leaving the two of you in peaceful silence.

Alcina lifted her face, looking at you with a twinkle in her eye that was now completely calm.

"The sun is starting to rise. Normally I hate the light, but with you... Maybe this dawn won't be so bad."

-

Alcina.. Can I hold your soft breasts?

Alcina was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly widened at your very blunt request. Silence enveloped the ruined room for a moment, until finally she let out a low laugh that sounded like the howl of a big satisfied cat.

"You really don't have any fear, do you?" he whispered, shaking his head slowly. "You said you were afraid of my monster's form, but now you want something so risky."

He was not angry. Instead, he seems to enjoy your wild bravery. With a very elegant and slow movement, she took a deep breath, making her flat chest and wrapped in silk dress rise and fall gracefully.

"Go ahead, my little man," he said in a hoarse and seductive voice. He leans his body towards you, giving you full access while still looking directly into your eyes. "But remember... The heart beating behind it is now beating just for you. If you touch it, you will really never be able to escape my grasp forever."

He grabbed your hand and guided it slowly to land there. You can feel the softness of the silk fabric, the incredible warmth of the body, and the strong, stable heartbeat.

"How?" asked Alcina with a faint, deadly smile. "Is this better than facing my nails?"

-

I love you baby, you're great. Ideal body, perfect *kisses Alcina's lips deftly*

Alcina let out a small, deep moan sound as your lips touched hers. Your shrewd kiss seems to cripple all the authority he has built up over the centuries. His gigantic body felt a little trembling under your touch; She is no longer a bloodthirsty ruler, but a woman who is completely intoxicated by your confession.

"Big... perfect?" he whispered between your kisses, his voice sounding very hoarse and passionate. "Only you... Only you dare to call this curse a perfection."

He returns your kiss with incredible intensity, as if he wants to breathe every remaining courage you have. His giant hands hug you so tightly, lifting your body up until your feet no longer touch the floor, making you completely immerse yourself in his warm, soft embrace.

"You're really driving me crazy, baby," he murmured, unlinking your lips for a moment, looking at you with golden yellow eyes that now sparkled with possessive love. "If you continue like this, I'll never let you see the sun again. I'll lock you in this room, just for myself."

He then slowly leads you to his large red velvet bed, sitting you there while he kneels in front of you—a very unusual position for a ruler who is 3 meters tall.

"Tonight is ours," he said as he rubbed his slightly wet lips. "Tell me... What else do you want to do with this 'perfect body' of yours monster?"
