I woke up the next morning alone in bed with my lower abdon aching from the intense mating ritual that I went through with the prince last night. For a mont, I felt slightly relieved that I didn’t have to face the prince imdiately when I woke up. That feeling of relief was only fleeting and short-lived before it was replaced with an overwhelming sense of worry and then embarrassnt.
I shouldn’t have begged the prince to cum inside of last night.
No matter what I thought, I knew very well that it was already too late. What was said was said and what was done was done. At least, that was how it was supposed to be. I would have been a lot less embarrassed of what I had said had there been resulting actions that actually went my way. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case and that only made feel like I was fighting a losing battle no matter how hard I tried. In the end, the prince never ca inside of , and the result was the awkward atmosphere between us the following morning.
All pain and no gain were a very accurate way to describe what had happened regarding my selfish request. Although I should have known that it must have been hard to persuade the prince in this manner, I still felt extrely discouraged despite the fact that it was just my first try. In my mind, I could see Duchess Flavia’s face and her beautiful smile while she stroked my ego with comforting and encouraging words. I began losing count of the tis that I’ve sighed since the mont that I woke up.
Prince Leonard was already dressed and ready to go for the day when I finally turned up at the dining table where breakfast was waiting for us. I was too anxious to say anything and no matter how hard I tried; I couldn’t co up with the words to start a conversation with the prince.
“Your Highness, the car is ready...” a mber of the staff ca to inform us and that was when I lost my chance to talk to Prince Leonard.
“Thank you. We will be there soon,” he replied casually.
Things did not magically improve between us when we got into the car. Sitting next to the prince made feel even more apprehensive. I wondered why Prince Leonard had not said a word to and then I started fearing that he was still mad at for what happened last night. I wondered where we were headed as I watched the view passing by from outside the car window.
“Where are we going?” I asked after summoning all the courage that I had.
“You’ll see soon,” Prince Leonard replied without looking my way.
By that ti, I was already convinced that the prince was upset with . Things would only continue southward if we didn’t talk things out. Even before talking things out, I knew very well that I owed the prince an apology for my thoughtless actions and words.
“Prince Leonard, I am very sorry about what happened last night,” I apologized softly.
“There’s nothing for you to apologize for,” he replied imdiately.
“But I shouldn’t have said that to you. I know that my request is stupid and very selfish. I am very sorry...” I apologized again.
“Mila...” he called my na sternly.
“Yes?” I replied in a whisper as I felt my entire body stiffen.
I was sure that he was about to yell at or give a long and extensive lecture about what I had done. There was nothing that I could do but brace myself for the impact of his words. I did not have any excuses for myself and my behavior, so all I could do was take whatever punishnt that prince had in mind for .
“There’s really nothing for you to apologize for. We all want different things and there’s nothing unnatural about that. If anything, I appreciate the fact that you were honest with . It must have been difficult for you to express your true desires,” the prince said before he reached for my hand and held it gently.
“I’m sorry for being so selfish,” I murmured before letting out a soft sigh.
“You should stop apologizing, Mila. You may have said those words in the heat of the mont, if that’s the case, then we can pretend that it never happened,” Prince Leonard said before smiling reassuringly at .
But that wasn’t the case at all.
“What if...what if that isn’t the case?” I asked in a small voice as I turned to look him directly in the eyes.
I could tell that he was slightly stunned by my expected words and their implications. Although he gave the perfect opportunity to sweep everything under the rug so that we could both forget all about it, I doubted that I could ever forget. On top of that, it felt like my efforts would have gone to waste after he had just told that he was thankful that I was trying to be honest with him about my feelings and want I wanted. It was probably at that mont that I was clear about my resolve. Any doubts that I might have had regarding what I wanted faded away and I was resolute about what I wanted.
“I want to have your child. I truly ant it,” I confessed bluntly before staring at his face to gauge his reaction to my words.
My worst fears never materialized because the prince wasn’t imdiately against it. That gave a ray of hope that he might be openminded enough to at least discuss the possibility with .
“Why do you want to have my child?” he asked after a mont of silence.
“I...I want soone that would connect us. I want to stay by your side into the future as well,” I replied while choosing my words carefully.
“Is that what you’ve been worrying about? You think that I’ll cast you away if you don’t have my child?” he asked sternly.
