Feeling a mix of emotions I couldnt quite describe, I simply stared at Damian instead of answering.
Then, Damians expression turned ardent as he spoke vehently.
Oh, of course! If youre in love with soone else, Im really sorry and
Its not like that.
.just what is he rambling on about now?
I think Im going to lose it with the rollercoaster of emotions Ive experienced today!
As soon as he heard my straightforward answer, a relieved Damian smiled.
Well, thats a relief.
But Im not relieved, especially by what you did back there.
I added in a low voice.
Damians smile beca crooked.
Huh?
You could have explained it to from the beginning, couldnt you?
I scrunched my brows and approached Damian as I reprimanded him.
Since its an engagent out of necessity, I have no qualms with it but the least you can do is show so understanding.
Damian at the mont looked crushed.
Hey, why are you making that face?
I decided to plant my feet and continue this boldly.
Right? Im the one whos suffering the most from this arrangent!
All of a sudden I found myself to be engaged, so naturally I misunderstood Damians intentions!
Well, maybe, Damian might be romantically attracted to and so offered the engagent
Theres a small chance, but thats what I thought!
To hide my embarrassnt, I raised my voice.
If you had explained beforehand, would I have been so surprised?
No, Lize. Wait a minute
Damian, who seed on the verge of protest with a dismayed look, sighed heavily as he touched his forehead.
..okay. Lets go ahead with the engagent.
What do you an go ahead?
I couldnt hide my dissatisfaction.
And then.
Damian lifted his head and looked at with a fierce expression.
First and foremost, lets stop with the Your Highness.
P-Pardon?
From this mont on, youre my fiancee, growled Damian like a beast.
.it ans youll be the only person who can call by my na.
Why is saying his na so important to him?
I tilted my head and called out to Damian.
I will, Damian.
His expression softened in a blink of an eye.
W-What?
I was a bit surprised at that reaction.
Was I seeing things?
Just a second ago, he gave the impression of a snarling tiger with its teeth laid bare, now he resembles a vulnerable kitten!
Haaaa.
After a long sigh, Damian sat beside .
He then rested his head on my shoulder.
I, um, Damian?
.just for a while, Damian muttered as he rubbed his cheek against my shoulder.
Wow, hes really hes acting like a kitten?
Ill be like this for a while longer
No matter what youre going through, as crown prince you should have so dignity, right?
I wanted to tell him that.
The urge to tell him rose to my throat but-
.okay.
I changed my mind about it.
Im sure today must have been nerve-wracking for him.
Yes, Ill just let this one pass.
I raised my hand and placed it on his shoulder.
Damian smiled bashfully.
For a ti, there seed to be a peaceful atmosphere but
..wait, hold on.
I imdiately narrowed my brow.
Damian.
Yes?
Before, when we were talking about Viscountess Antes.
Damian, who was purring like a kitten, flinched his shoulders.
I widened my eyes and glared at him.
Are you mad at , Lize?
Hmm? Oh, noit just so happens
How are you still mad?
I raised my voice again to the top of my lungs.
IM A VICTIM, I never got the chance to turn down this engagent!!
Im sorry!
Damian hastily cried out an apology.
Well, if you have a conscience you should be sorry!
I commanded in a savage tone.
Get away from right now.
Lize, can you cut so slack today?
Do you want to see angrier?
Damian backed away, looking at like an abandoned puppy.
If Im going to forgive him at this point, I cant have him leave.
I folded my arms, my eyes narrowed at him.
If youre truly sorry.
If youre truly sorry? Damian responded with a hint of concern in his tone.
Kneel down in front of with your hands up.
Erm, Im a little worried about treating the crown prince like this, but
Its just the two of us, right?
No matter how naive he is, hes not actually going to do what I say, is he?
I put on a brazen expression, sticking to what I previously said.
And.
.are you going to do it? I questioned.
As soon as those words left my mouth, Damian ekly knelt in front of with his arms raised high.
