53 Things arent always as they seem, part 1 (1/2)

Previously on The Kings Power:
*”Damn, that boss. His head is too much in the clouds to be relied on.” Another one said. He pulled out a knife from his pocket, ”guess we will have to take care of her. Go. Inform the boss that she is here, he is in the other room.”*
----
*”N-Nate...?” Snow released all her powers, making him fall to the ground. Only when she said his name, did he open his eyes. Snow took a step back, it felt like someone punched her in the stomach.*
---
*”You're right. I didn't tell you who I was, but neither did you. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to look at me differently. Everybody already looks at me like I'm a thief, but when you didn't I, couldn't bring myself to tell you.”*
----
*”Look, Nate, it's getting late. I think I'm going to go back to the castle, please don't follow me.” Snow told him, she put the hood back on her head and jumped on the nearest building, from there she headed toward the castle.
----
*”You use your energy to conjure your powers. When you don't have enough energy, your powers have a weak effect, or no affect at all, in other words, you can't even use a simple technique to defeat your opponent. That's why you need to fulfill your energy through eating or sleeping. It depends on the person, some people sleep, others like you, eat, some even uses pills to stock up their energy, but that is not very healthy or good for your body.” Noctis explained*
----
*Have you been seeing him?” Noctis stood up, resting his hands on the table and glaring down at Snow.
”I-I...” Damn it. Now he is going to figure it out, and I didn't want to tell him this way, I would have preferred not to tell him at all, right now.
”So you have been seeing him.” Noctis stood up straight, ”have you slept with him too?”
Snow could hear he was trying to control his anger, and it's understandable, but what he just said was unacceptable.
”How dare you insinuate that I slept with him.” Snow's voice sounded different somehow, echo's followed as she talked. Her voice sounded deeper. All around them things started to float. Blue and red energy began to rise above them. Each trying to gain the upper hand in the room.
”We only kissed! That is all!” Snow yelled, her red energy began to over take his blue energy, lifting everything to the roof. Snow felt so much energy within her, but it also feels like she is slowly losing control.*
----
*”How many times have I told you not to test her? She is not someone you should mess with, especially when she gets that angry!” The King raised his voice. Noctis understood what his father said, he did warn him, countless times.*

Present:
Snow woke up the next morning. Dread filled her stomach thinking about what happened the night before. She can't believe Noctis said that. Snow sighed before climbing out of bed. She got dressed and headed down for breakfast. When she got there she saw that Noctis and the King was already seated. Luckily Noctis sat on the other side of the table while the king sat at the head. Snow took her place at the table in silence avoiding Noctis.
The King must have sensed the awkwardness in the room because he tried to lighten the room with small talk.
”Did you sleep well, Snow?”
”I did, thank you your majesty for asking.”
The king nodded with a small smile on his face, ”it is my pleasure, Snow.”
”And you, my son? Did you sleep alright?”
”I slept fine, father.” Noctis didn't look up, instead he kept playing with his spoon.
The King sighed and then they waited in silence for their breakfast.
