It was out of the blue. I blad my ears for possibly mistaking his words. Max liked ? Thinking about why he would, I recalled the first ti we t, the ti I had offered him to be involved in a contractual relationship with , how he had stuck up for in front of my father, and what happened today.
I always thought what happened between the male lead and the female lead after the forr rescued the latter was clich. That was until the very thing happened to . Perhaps I was exaggerating his words in my head. He could be aning that he liked as a friend, and I was taking it to the next level. My efforts to understand his intentions caused a headache. That was when I realized he was glaring at .
Just so you dont mistake my words, I an that I am chard by you, he affird in a rather threatening manner.
Why would anyone show their affection in such a nacing way? Anyway, was he for real? I found the situation odd. It was true my heart was pounding when he appeared out of nowhere and saved from Mikhail, but
There was a reason why clichs were so popular, and I was no exception to becoming its victim.
Ill give you anything you want. All you have to do is love .I would say such things to Mikhail just because he had reached out to once. I had fallen in love with him and had given everything to him in return for the small gesture. Now that I thought about it, he could have shown a similar kindness to anyoneeven a stranger. Had my gratefulness developed into a fondness for him, or had I truly fallen in love with him at first sight?
Wearing a bitter smile, I looked up at Max. I wasnt sure if I liked him or not. Not only that, I had yet to escape the death flagI didnt want to start dating him with lukewarm feelings and get him mixed up in my unfortunate fate as well.
I was contemplating on what to do when Max interrogated, So whats your answer?
His eyes were glowing with a dangerous light as if to intimidate . I flinched and looked away imdiately. Was that how he acted toward soone he was chard by?!
In any case, I managed to calm down from the shock of his threatening attitude and answered, Hey, this is a little too sudden for so could you give so ti to think?
Max stared at for a while before slowly nodding. Sure. Just one thingwe will set a date.
I let out a sigh of relief at his agreeable attitude. I also believed it wasnt proper to drag on giving him a reply and decided, I will give you an answer after the princess coronation ceremony. There was a chance that Max might ask why, but that date was a very important one for . If I managed to make it through the day without getting tangled up in so trouble with the princess, I would be able to escape the death flag. Only after I avoided an ill fate would I be able to let go of the burdens on my shoulder and give him a sincere answereven if that ant our contractual relationship might end.
After slowly nodding, Max quickly turned his head back to face the window.
Did he really like ? Shouldnt he be looking at with loving eyes right now if he did?
You better not forget, he spat out in a brusque manner. I watched him for a mont then flinched once again when I realized he knew I was looking. He then said, If you dont answer by then I will start doing as I please.
His voice was surely intimidating, but his ear and neck from where I could see were colored red. And his face turned toward the window I looked at his eyes to see what he was staring atonly to realize it was my reflection on the glass.
No waydid he really an it? Feeling awkward, I turned away from the window and zipped my mouth shut. I then began thinking about what had happened today. I would have to tell my father about the incident How was he going to react? These days, he was bent on marrying off to the crown princeI hoped he wouldnt get angry at for causing an unforeseen occurrence. Or perhaps he might scold for giving the nobles a source of gossip. A headache erged once more as I agonized over my circumstances. I didnt want to fall asleep, but my eyelids were growing heavy. I normally didnt fall asleep like this when I was with Max since I would be talking to him, but now
The fatigue overca in the end. After all, it was an exhausting day.
