Abigail pov contd
"Then, I will advise you to take rest, your highness. I will go by myself.'' I replied with an encouraging smile when he shook his head.
"I have given you my words, little bird. How can I let you go alone" he replied, shaking his head and I did not know what to say further.
"Then what solution do you have, your highness? '' I asked the stubborn man.
"Why don't we just jump the roofs. It will save both of us ti to climb and descend the stairs' ' my jaw almost hit the floor looking at his nonchalant words.
I looked at roofs that have almost 4-5 feet difference. How could he expect that jumping from one building to another was much better than walking like a human! Does he think that monkeys were our ancestors, so we still have their qualities? I looked at him from head to toe. Even if he was trash, he was one sexy piece of trash. I did not want him to break his limbs while jumping.
"Your highness, you are forgetting that you are the crown prince. How can you jump the roofs in public? This would not suit your title at all. Many will talk about it..'' I continued to convince him as I really did not want to jump the walls and roofs.
"Oh, you do not need to worry about that. I think you have not noticed my clothes." he said and only then did i see he was wearing an old knights uniform that has been changed with ti. It was a black uniform that was much better than the present red one.
"Your highness even if your clothes are not recognizable, your face can be recognized easily. Those who would be at roof will know that it is you.'' I replied, shaking my head. Trying my best to tell him that his decision was wrong.
"It does not matter, little bird. When have they not talked about anyways.'' His words were so nonchalant as if he did not care about his image at all. In Fact he was happy that he was so infamous among the nobles.
"But, your highness" I tried to reason with him again, but he covered my mouth with his fingers.
"That is it. You have already wasted enough ti of ours." he held my hand and then ca close to . His hand wrapped around my waist as he started dragging towards the edge of the building.
I closed my eyes as we stood at the edge, but my one eye opened unconsciously and looked down. The height was enough to break my body into smaller pieces that could not even be held in two hands. I gulped and my eyes closed instinctively again.
"For a change, I think walking on the road and eting new people would be a better way to recognize more people and mingle with them." I replied , shaking my head, trying to sound convincing.
But before I could speak a single more word, I felt his hands on my waist tightened and my whole body leaned on him instinctively.
"I will never let anything happen to you, little bird. If you are afraid, close your eyes." I heard him speaking when he kept secured in his arms.
And in the next mont we jumped. I felt my body losing all the gravity. As if I was flying in the air, as if I had suddenly grown wings, my legs lost that solid floor and felt the air. Everything went so fast that when I opened my eyes I was already standing on the edge of the other building. I thought that it would be slow motion like it happened in movies but I didn't even know how I got there.
As if soone had taken in his arms and landed here. I was still hazy, when he looked at with amused eyes.
"I have always thought that you are a brave daredevil. It is good to know that you are afraid of a few things too." his eyes were filled with mirth and my cheeks puffed up.
"There there, don't be an angry little bird. I have taken care that you didn't even get a scratch." he replied, looking at with the sa smile as he continued to hold .
Only then did I feel how closely we were standing. His both hands were still wrapped around my chest and my whole body was leaning against his chest.
"I'm fine now, you can let go, your highness," I replied , trying to stand on my feet when he pulled closer. I could even hear his fast heartbeats now.
"How can you ask to let go just by taking favors, little bird? I deserve a reward to bring you here safely." he asked as if that was the thing to do.
'Is he for real? Firstly he forced to jump the roof even when i denied so many tis. And now that he had held while jumping, he deserved a reward!'
"Ha! I should be the one to get a reward to bear the ntal stress.`` I replied with a glare and he chuckled.
"Well in that case I have a way in which we both can get our reward at the sa ti." he said with a devilish grin. His eyes were filled with mischievousness.
"I did not get your aning, your highness" i replied as I was sure there was nothing good going to co with the way he was looking at .
"Well a kiss would be enough reward for both you and ." he said as he held a tendril and tucked it behind my ear.
I was about to deny and scold him to even think about it when my eyes fell on Gerard who was standing in the corner and his eyes had finally felt on us. He was coming towards us.
A wicked grin ford on my lips too as I nodded.
"You would take the initiative or shall I do the honor, your highness?"
