"I would love to be always woken up like that." Regaleon said with a smile.
"Y-You’re awake?" I asked in surprise.
"I was really sleeping a while ago. But when I felt your warm lips on mine, how won’t I wake up?" Regaleon smiled sweetly. But then his smile changed into a frown in no ti.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"What happened to your smooth beautiful cheek?" Regaleon asked worriedly. He gently caressed his thumb on my cheek where my wound was.
"Ahh." Regaleon was only caressing the outer edge of my wound but I can still feel the sting.
"Is it swollen?" I asked worriedly.
"Who did this to you?" Regaleon’s eyes beca icily dark. There was a hint of danger in his pair of dark blue eyes. He was emitting an aura of anger and killing intent.
"Well actually, I planned on getting hurt." I confessed to him.
"You planned on getting hurt?" Regaleon’s killing intent disappeared in a flash and was replaced with worry. "Lili, why would you hurt yourself?"
Regaleon’s eyes were looking at intently. If I didn’t regret on getting hurt with my plan a while ago, now I was regretting it because I can see how Regaleon is worrying for .
"Actually I didn’t really hurt myself. It was Elizabeth who did this." I said.
Regaleon’s killing intent ca back in no ti after hearing that Elizabeth was the one that hurt .
"But I have planned her to hurt ." I explained. "In the eting a while ago, Elizabeth was chosen to be prince Gladiolus’ fiancée."
"Hmph, I expected that much." Regaleon scoffed. "And then what happened?"
"Well, she was harassing as per usual in front of our family mbers. She was blaming for stealing you from elder sister Veronica and William from her." I continued.
"Your step sister is so delusional." Regaleon said. "I would never even think of having any relation with those two step sisters of yours."
"Yes, I know." I smiled with his words. "Good thing father reprimanded Elizabeth. Especially when she bad mouthed my mother, father didn’t want to hear any of Elizabeth’s whims any longer and scolded her. Father just gave her a warning, but I won’t let her get away with bad mouthing and mother again."
"And so you made her mad to attack you?" Regaleon assud.
"Hmm, yes." I nodded. "Elizabeth was so infatuated with William. So after William saw her hurt , of course as my personal knight he saved and said so things that made Elizabeth’s dreams crumble down into dust."
I smiled while recalling the events. Seeing Elizabeth looking devastated gave so sense of satisfaction.
"It’s good that you are not letting your step sisters bully you once again. But I hope that you won’t get hurt in the future." Regaleon said while caressing my other cheek gently. "I don’t want to see you get hurt. If you want to get even with them, you can tell and I will surely arrange sothing that is befitting for them."
I looked at Regaleon’s face. He was looking at with worry. I am sure he was thinking that he doesn’t want my hands to be dirty with such things.
"I know Leon. Don’t worry, I won’t go overboard. I will never do anything that will taint my conscience." I smiled in assurance. "And I won’t do anything in the future that I know would hurt ."
"That’s good to hear." Regaleon smiled.
’Knock knock’ there was knocking from the door.
"Co in." I said.
The door opened and Tricia ca in with a tray of dicine and so bandages.
"Greetings princess, your highness." Tricia bowed down to greet us. "I have brought the dicine for the princess’ wound."
"Leave it here. I will be the one to tend to your princess’ wound." Regaleon ordered.
"Yes your highness." Tricia placed the tray of dicine and bandages on the table and left the room.
Regaleon took so cotton and put alcohol in it. "Here, let ."
"O-Okay." I felt shy in an instant.
Who would have thought that a crown prince of a powerful would tend to my wounds carefully? Once the cotton landed on my wound, I felt a sting.
"Hsss." I hissed with the pain.
"Bear with it for a while." Regaleon said gently.
After disinfecting my wound with alcohol, Regaleon got the cotton suave and put so dicine on it and carefully put the dicine on my wound. It stung at first and then it felt cold. After that the area of the wound beca numb and the pain was gone.
"Does it still hurt?" Regaleon asked.
"Not anymore." I said.
"That’s good." Regaleon smiled and put the cotton suave down on the tray.
Regaleon got so bandages and put it on my wound gently. After that he gently pulled my head and planted a kiss on my forehead. My heart started beating rapidly. Regaleon’s every sweet action tickles my heart.
"You are already wearing it." Regaleon exclaid.
"Hmm, what?" I was taken by surprise by his sentence. I was in my own world just now, savoring Regaleon’s sweet actions.
"This." Regaleon held up my left hand. In my ring finger was the engagent ring he gave , the one that once belonged to his mother.
"Yes." I smiled. "Now that we are officially engaged, I thought it was okay to wear it."
The real reason is because these past few days, my cousin prince Gladiolus has been visiting every morning. He was tagging it as a ’courtesy visit’ and says that he visits my siblings as well. But I can feel his gaze towards has a deeper aning. I know that he knows I am already engaged to Regaleon but I still need to show him further proof.
"It looks good on you." Regaleon’s sweet smile warms my heart.
"Co to think of it, I want to also give you sothing." I said.
I raised my hands towards the back of my neck and unhooked the necklace which was always with . I put the pendant and the necklace on my palm and presented it to Regaleon.
"You are always wearing this necklace, right?" Regaleon looked at questioningly.
"Yes. This was my deceased mother’s nto to . I want you to have it." I said. I opened his palm and slowly put the necklace on top.
Regaleon examined the necklace carefully. "Are you sure you want to have this? I an, this was your mother’s nto."
"I also have your mother’s nto with ." I showed the ring I was wearing. "Let’s just say we exchanged." I smiled sweetly at him.
"Okay." Regaleon smiled as well. "I promise to safeguard it for the rest of my life."
"I will safeguard this as well, for the rest of my life." I was holding up my hand with the finger on.
It felt like Regaleon and I were exchanging our solemn vows. I guess it will be like this on our wedding day. Just the thought of it made smile and a warm feeling crept all over my body.
