I feel my whole body stiffens when I heard what Prince Fraser ask.
I already tried my best to minimizes my presence here yet this guy still decided to ntioned ? Is he mad at ? Is it because I beco intimite with Princess Paislee when we rode that horse?
But we were both ladies!
The Queen stares at and smile. "It is my idea. I heard from soone that Da Csille have returned to the Capital already. And it's been a long ti since we had a conversation with her, so I decided to invite her to the Palace."
I just stare at the Queen. I don't understand why does she needs to lie because clearly, it wasn't her idea why I am here. So, why?
Then I glance at Prince Joachim. Trying to see what his reaction will be but just like , he is also confused as to why her majesty lied just now.
Is there sothing wrong if they said that it was Prince Joachim's idea?
"But Mother, you do know how important this royal breakfast, right? This isn't a simple breakfast only. This is only held in front of people with royal blood, if not, soone who has a great importance. So, I don't understand why would Dam..."
Prince Fraser didn't able to finish his words and turn his head at . I don't know if it is
because he feel embarrassed to ask that in front of . Or sothing else.
All I know is, I feel insulted with his words. I know I am not a royalty but why does he needs to say that bluntly? It is as if I am not sitting in front of him.
"Fraser! Mind your words. I was the one who invited her here so please respect her. Also, doesn't all the deeds she do is enough for her to be considered an important person in the Vrawyth Kingdom?"
Prince Fraser stares at the Queen before he sigh. "Apologies, I don't an to make it sound like that. I just want to know the reason why she is here. But it doesn't an I don't want her here. So, I hope you can understand Mother."
The Queen let it slide and the conversation continues. The three gentleman focus on talking about ruling the monarchy or the rules and such.
While the Queen and I will sotis talk to each other about anything. Afterwards, we will then busy ourselves with our breakfast.
After half an hour of eating and trying to minimizes my presence. The dreadful breakfast have finished already.
"Are you sure you don't want us to send you off, Prince Joachim?" The King ask. He is referring to sending Prince Joachim to the gates of the Kingdom because Prince Joachim will leave the Kingdom this morning.
Prince Joachim shakes his head and smile reassuringly at the King. "Thank you for the offer, your majesty but you don't have to worry about it. I know you are currently busy too so I won't be taking too much of your ti. It was already too much for to stay here this long."
His majesty tried to convince Prince Joachim which the Prince declined imdiately.
In the end the Queen just prepared a few of his people to send Prince Joachim back to the Yesian Kingdom. It is to ensure that Prince Joachim will return to Yesian Kingdom, safe and sound.
Even if Prince Joachim is just a Prince of the small Kingdom. We still need to make sure that he will be safe no matter what or else the Vrawyth Kingdom will be in a difficult situation if anything happens to Prince Joachim.
Prince Joachim looks back to . "Aren't you leaving the Palace too? I can send you to where you are going, Da Csille."
I smile at him and politely decline his offer. How can I leave if I haven't talk to his majesty? "Thank you for the offer, your highness. But I need to decline. I still have things I need to talk to his majesty."
Prince Joachim stares at for a couple of seconds before he nods his head and head inside his carriage. After making sure, he left the Palace premises, I turn my head at his majesty. However, before I can say sothing to him soone grabs my arm.
"Father, apologies but I have sothing urgent to talk to Da Csille. I will need to borrow her from you. Don't worry, it won't be long."
I frown. Urgent? What urgent he is talking about? What does this Prince wants from again? Can't he see that I am trying to have a conversation with his majesty?
Is the urgent thing he is talking about concerns the safety of the Kingdom? However, even if I want to refused, I know I couldn't do that. So, I just remain quiet and wish that things wouldn't turn to worst.
The King and the Queen exchange glances before his majesty nods his head. He then turn his head to . "You can look for in the library. I wilk be waiting for you there, Da Csille."
I nod my head. I was about to say sothing to his majesty but this Crown Prince already pulled to a certain direction. Leaving no choice but to stare at the King apologetically. This Prince is getting ruder and ruder each day. Can't he see that I am still talking to his majesty? How dare he pull like that?
But even if I want to pull my hand from him, I don't have the courage to do so. Especially now, he looks enraged over sothing. But I don't understand why. Did I do sothing that makes him mad like this?
I thought we will have our conversation in the Garden or to his own library but Prince Fraser and I walk passed those places. Leaving clueless as to where he is bringing .
I feel my body freezes when we turn to a corner. That familiar corner. I know this. This is where the young Csille will always sneak in to get a glimpse of the young Prince Fraser. But why are we walking this way? Don't tell he is planning to talk to in...
I imdiately shake my head and try to get my hand from Prince Fraser. However, every ti I wilm try, he make his grasp on tighter.
What is this Prince thinking? Is he seriously planning to bring to... I shake my head and stop myself from thinking. Maybe I was just assuming too much. Maybe we will have a conversation on one of the rooms beside it.
I turn my head at the two doors beside 'that' room but those two rooms were not suitable for having a conversation there. The first one is a storage room where important docunts of the Palace can be found. Only the King, Queen and Prince Fraser were the one allowed inside. So, there is no way we will have our conversation there. The second one is the old room of the previous King and it is lock to avoid anyone from getting inside the room. His majesty decided to locked it to preserve the mory of the previous King. I heard even Rufus or Prince Fraser was not allowed inside.
So, I don't understand why we are walking to this direction. Is he planning to have our conversation in this hallway? Because he knows this hallway is restricted to mostly everyone. Only Prince Fraser's trusted people can co to this hallway.
Prince Fraser stops in front of the door of 'that' room. He then looks back at . I was hoping he would start to talk to but he just take sothing out of his pocket and open the
door.
He then look at . "Co inside. We need to talk."
I just stare at him with horror. He wants to go inside that room? Is he insane? He is inviting his forr fianceé to go inside his OWN bedroom? Is he out of his mind? Does he forgot what this implicates? Or he forgot that once an unmarried lady gets inside the room of an unmarried gentleman, then the gentleman needs to marry the lady. The only exception for this rule is if the two were related. But because we are not related, this rule applies to us.
I shake my head and take a step back. I was about to take another step but Prince Fraser already caught my arm. "Where are you going? Haven't I told you that I have sothing to talk to you? Why are you trying to leave?"
I almost cry when I heard his question. Is this Prince serious? He really wants to get inside his room? The room that I haven't enter even I was his fianceé before.
"Your highness, I think it's better if we talk in the librar-"
Prince Fraser frowns and cuts off. "And what? Let Father hear what I want to say to you?
You do really want to put in a difficult situation, don't you?"
I shake my head. But you are the one who is putting in a difficult situation.
I look around. Hoping no one would see here. I can not let any news about this, spread around the Palace.
"Your highness, I don't think I am suitable to enter your chamber. What if the person you
love kno-"
"She will only knows if you spread this news." He then takes a step forward and lean towards . "Do you dare, Da Csille?"
How can I? This will ruin the script. Also, I don't think I have the courage to do so. The real
Csille might but not .
I shake my head and try to get away from Prince Fraser because he is making uncomfortable already. But I couldn't do so because he is holding my arm to keep still.
He then nods his head and push inside his room. Leaving no room for objections.
After making sure that I am inside, he let go of my arm and walk towards his bed to sit. He then look up to and frown. "What are you doing?"
I look at him with visible confusion in my eyes. What does he an by his question? Is he
asking why I am standing here instead of sitting? But isn't a rule to wait for the owner of the house to offer a seat to the visitor. And he hasn't offer any. So, what am I supposed to do?
To sit on the floor?
"I am asking you a question, Da Csille. The least you can do is to answer it for ."
I heave a sigh. How am I supposed to answer a question that is this vague?
"Your highness, apologies but I don't understand your question. Can you please elborate it
more?"
Prince Fraser scoff. "Do you really think I wouldn't know what you are doing?"
What am I doing? I don't really know.
He then laughs sarcastically. "I know your purpose on being here. You even have the guts to
join the royal breakfast. Are you even worthy to be there?"
That is when it dawns . The reason he is mad is because he thought I am doing all of this
for him. That maybe if I join the royal banquet I might get the chance to be his fianceé again or
to convice the King and Queen to consider again.
I scoff. Is this Prince dumb? Does he really thinks everything is easy as he thought?
No one in history of this world have married their ex-fianceé and I don't think there will be
an exemption to it.
"Your highness, rest assured that I already know my place. The reason why I am in the royal breakfast is because Prince Joachim insisted on it. He thought it would be a great ti for to talk to his majesty. I ca here in the Palace because I want to talk to his majesty about the
thousand orders made by the other Kingdoms and Cities. I was worried that my people won't be able to produce that number. So, is you worried that this is one of my tactics to get you. You can rest assured that it is not. I have soone I like already and that is not you." I bow my head. "If you excuse . I still need to talk to his majesty."
I didn't wait for his response and imdiately left that room. To hell if he doesn't agree
with it. This Crown Prince is really getting on my nerves already. How can he think that everything revolves around him. What does he think of himself?
