True Alpha's Ch Chapter 15: The most handsome in the world

Chapter 15: The most handso in the world

My first experience outside the castle had brought a lot of fears that kept

stuck inside my room. But as soon as we stepped outside the inn, the first ti the children brushed past

as they ran, it felt... different. I felt like I was in a dream, as this was what I had imagined my experience would be.

My eyes softened as I looked around the street. My gaze fell on the window of my room. The view from up there and here felt different. Right now, it felt like... I was part of the world and not just soone who was watching from sowhere.

"You haven’t experienced the festival yet, but look at you. So happy!" I snapped my eyes and shifted them towards Hugo. He was standing a palm length away, staring at

while tilting his head.

I nodded, closed-lipped. "Because I am... very much."

I linked my hand behind

as we started walking down the street. The pavent was filled with different stalls, and everyone was either buying or selling or just walking like us.

"So this is what it should be, huh?" ca out a soft voice while looking around, feeling my heart ward up a little. "If only this is a street back ho..."

"Tsk. One second you’re happy, and then, a second later, you’re frowning." Hugo’s warm baritone voice made

glance up at him. He had his hand inside his pocket, while his sleeves were folded to his elbow where everyone could notice how his arm flexed each slight movent.

"Just live today, Bambi," he said in a knowing tone before he gazed ahead. "Don’t think too much and you’ll be a little happier."

I pressed my lips, still gazing at him, and noticed his sharp jaw that seed it could slice anything. Out of curiosity, I raised my hand to touch it. I only grazed it with my fingertip, and he halted with an arched brow.

Hugo slowly gazed at , stunned. "What are you doing?"

"Checking if your jaw can cut ?" I replied with a weak voice, glancing at my finger, and was glad it was unhard.

"Girl, what if, by wild chance, it actually cuts you... what will you gain?" he inquired in disbelief, looking at

in dismay.

I bit my lower lip and pondered. "It will feed my curiosity?"

He blinked twice before a chuckle ca out of his mouth. "You... will die, Bambi."

This ti, I froze at his remarks. How could he speak such ominous words? Hugo shook his head and laughed while scratching his temple. Only then did I notice the little mole right on the side of his eyes and the dimple that resurfaced on his cheek. I couldn’t deny how charming he appeared while laughing candidly.

’But why was he laughing?’ I wondered, staring at him curiously and frowned. ’Surely, there isn’t sothing funny about what he said. He just cursed , didn’t he?’

"Bambi, you just grew taller a little, but you’re still the sa." He placed his palm over my head after he recovered from his jest. "You are starting to worry ."

I glared at him and resud my steps. He strutted beside , but I gave him cold shoulders.

"You shouldn’t curse

like that, you know?" I mumbled when I couldn’t take my disappointnt anymore. "How can you say I will die and then laugh like there’s no tomorrow?"

"Oh, co on, Bambi. I’m not cursing you, dear. I’m just saying, curiosity always kills the cat." He grinned mischievously when I glanced at him. "I an, how can you touch my wonderfully created jaw just because you thought it cuts?"

Hugo rubbed his jaw with his fingers smoothly while his ego continued to inflate. He cast

an arrogant look and smirk.

"Charming, aren’t I?" he inquired, while suddenly bending over to . My nose instantly scrunched up and shook my head in dismay.

"Do you see yourself as the most handso man in the world?" I asked sarcastically while I gaze ahead. It did not even surprise

when he answered with a confident, "of course!"

All I could do was glance at him in pity. I didn’t know if this was normal since the people in my life were all the sa, but none of them weren’t as confident as him. Even the chief knight everyone admired wouldn’t shalessly say he was handso, strong, and a remarkable man himself.

"Do you consider yourself as handso, strong, and a remarkable man?" I queried just for comparison, and Hugo’s answer had exceeded my expectation.

"Of course not," he said, and that piqued my attention for a mont until he explained the reason. "I am more than that, Bambi. If I will describe myself, I can fill an entire book... or two."

"Wow..." I clapped weakly, as this was truly admirable. I wasn’t being sarcastic, but I wished I was as confident as him.

"I wish I was..." I trailed off when Hugo suddenly leaped towards . Before I knew it, he had

wrap his arm around

and his other hand was on top of my head protectively.
