Chapter 391 - Three Hundred And Ninety-one: Now's My Turn
The third point of view:
Judy was in his office working on so important papers when his phone rang. Taking a look at his screen, he observed it was an unknown number and decided to ignore it. As the prince of his kingdom, a lot of people would sacrifice their life just to have his number.
A few tis, so succeeded and after hearing their request, he helped them out - if their request was reasonable. But most tis, it was won expressing their imasurable love for him, which was why he decided to ignore this one - it could be one of his many secret admirers.
He ended the call, dedicating his attention back to his work. With his coronation around the corner, his workload increased and so did his problems.
His cabinet was not happy; he was getting crowned without a wife. Since the history of Lincolnshire, it has never been done that way, they would buzz into his ears at each eting.
According to their tradition, the prince and his wife were to be married first before he would be coronated king and his wife, the queen.
Therefore one could imagine the kind of troubles the inner cabinet has been giving him. Though he could dismiss them off, being a prince wasn't the sa as being a president of a country.
A president could easily fire his ministers from their position but a prince couldn't do so on a whim, why? He alone could not run the kingdom.
Most of his cabinet mbers were older, wise n, who had fought alongside the queen in reclaiming the kingdom during the rebellion. They had far more knowledge of the kingdom than him and thus needed their guidance, however, that doesn't an Judy was a pushover.
They had kept murmuring and whining their mouths all week about his leadership until he shut their mouth by reminding them of the prosperity brought into the kingdom ever since he beca the crowned prince.
Surprisingly, Fiona's father, who was the backbone of all the cabinet mbers had been on his side. Well, it wasn't that unexpected since the man was trying to curry favor for the sake of his daughter. Though Judy had not exactly exiled her, Fiona has been on the run knowing she was dead once he laid his hand on her.
"Damn it!" Judy cursed out loud when his phone rang once more. This ti he picked up the phone intending to give this strange caller a piece of his mind when he heard a familiar voice and froze.
"Hi honey, I know this sounds sudden, but I entered your kingdom without a Visa and now I'm stuck. Can you co and get , please?"?she hung up.
For a full five minutes, even after the call ended, Judy stood unmoving until realization dawned on him. That was Emily's voice? How is it that Emily was calling him? Didn't she say she needed space from him? And what did she an by having no visa, she needed no Visa to co to his…..
Emily was back?! It then clicked in his head. B-but how? He had been expecting her to stay away from him for a few months or even forever - worst nightmare.
"Oh my God!" Judy shot up to his feet with great suddenness. Emily was hinting at him to co pick her up from the airport.
"Archie!" he hollered at the top of his voice, communicating?through the intercom, "Get the car ready!" He picked up his blazer from the hanger and strode out of the room.
It was at that mont that Judy wished he could fly because he was in a hurry to get to the airport. What if she left? He couldn't exactly tell what was going on in her mind.
As if Archie knew he had no room for delay, he raced over to the airport and that was where the huge work began. Where was he going to start his search? The airport was huge and there was more than one arrival gate.
"Fine, just use your sovereignty once more," He sighed and gestured to his assistant who understood the sign without asking.
Archie was a very royal and efficient deputy to him, hence didn't doubt his capability. The man already figured out Emily was at the airport without asking questions and set to work - Emily was the only person that could drive his highness this crazy.
Judy didn't stay at a place even when Archie left, he continued to search around in case he stumbled into her when his assistant called,
"Hello, where is she?"
"At the shared use lounge… " Archie was still explaining but Judy hung up on him.
He knew the lounge was located next to the boarding gate and is the very last airport terminal facility used by enplaning passengers before boarding the plane.?Was she trying to leave again? Was this a ga or what?
The thought of her leaving once again made him furious, and he felt as if fire was running through his veins instead of blood.
Judy broke into a run without regard for his image - the kingdom would be in an uproar if they saw their king sprinting like a mad man for God knows what. But he didn't care, she stepped into his soil without him forcing her to, so he would not let her leave this ti, not now, not forever.
The instant Judy got into the lounge, all eyes were on him, but he had his eyes out for only one person only - Emily. And there he found her. Grinning at him. She did this on purpose. Emily intentionally ruffled him. And she would pay for that.
He started towards Emily who still had that knowing grin on her face, however, she had her arms outstretched, as if expecting a hug. But then, he had better plans.
A shriek left Emily's lips when Judy lifted her to her feet with no warning, completely ignoring her hug. She had no choice but to wrap her leg around him to anchor herself from falling and her arms around his neck.
"Judy," She called his na, her breath coming in pants. He had scared the hell out of her with that move.
However, the man didn't say anything, he instead grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.
Emily stiffened, but only for a mont from the suddenness. She kissed him back, his tongue gliding against hers in long, deep strokes. The kiss was hot and demanding, his hand coming to press her flush against his chest.
It wasn't until they heard cheers and whistles from the crowd, that they realized they had been kissing hard-core in public. Wonderful.
Emily pulled away yet the fierce look in Judy's eyes told her he wasn't done with her. He was only holding back because of the crowd. She was in big bad trouble.
"We should leave," She reminded him when he wouldn't stop staring at her. It was getting embarrassing. Judy still didn't say a word to her and grabbed her hand instead, pulling her away from the fawning crowd.
To others, that gesture might seem romantic but Emily knew otherwise. To be honest, her heart was slamming against her chest in fear. Judy was the scariest when he kept mum, which ans there were a lot of thoughts going on in his head right now. He kept a poker face which made her more uneasy.
Maybe she shouldn't have pulled his leg this way. Call her stupid or sothing, but Emily had done it to see if he still had an interest in her. Who knew he would take it seriously by racing to the airport for her. Perhaps, she had underestimated his feelings for her.
Opening the car for her, he helped her in as a true gentleman, but Emily was nervous. Soon, they would be in a tight compartnt with no source of escape. God help her soul.
As soon as he climbed in, Emily felt all the air in the car vanish. To make it worse, the driver slid up the tinted glasses while roaring the engine to life.
"What are you doing?" She was about to ask the driver to lower the glasses - she needed the outside world to know she was in here in case she dies - but to her horror, the man lifted the soundproofed privacy compartnt, cutting her away from him. In one word, she was alone with Judy.
Damn that driver! She would have him fired once she was out of this ss!
But no amount of cursing could stop the hairs on her back from standing on edge. Without even looking, Emily could sense Judy's intense gaze on her and he was boring a hole in her head - if that was possible. She began to weep internally, she didn't want to die now.
Releasing a shaky breath, Emily turned around slowly and the instant her eyes connected with his, she felt her body leave her soul.
"Are you finally done?" Judy spoke at last, but those four words sent shivers down her spine. She opened her mouth to speak yet no words ca out.
"Now's my turn,"
