You Think I Won't Talk? Chapter 561

*******

*Knock, knock* — I heard a hand call to my door. — "Lady Pristina. His Highness, Crown Prince Zeleskiaz has co to attend your summon."

Vitor’s voice resounded through the door while Paige and I finished the last touch-ups of my outfit. Making quickly rise from my seat with anticipation, almost replying with my sound without realising it if not for the shake of Paige’s head reminding to be careful for the ears that could hear outside.

"My lady..!... I will open the door." — Paige whispered as I stopped my impulse. Replying with similar caution; whispering while we returned to each other the smile of expectations.

"Thank you. A little more and I could have exposed myself."

"I doubt he ca with soone else, yet it is best to act careful, my lady. This is your own request, you need to be more careful..." — Lastly, she said softly.

It was such a simple truth she told that made sorry as I nodded. Having my mind elsewhere had always been a weakness at least in the life I lived in another world... and as my body beca more comfortable with the current tis, the more easy it beca for myself to experience an accidental slip of my tongue... literally, which was the problem itself.

’I need to focus when soone I haven’t trusted with this information is around... I cannot let it be learned solely because of a careless impulse. Luckily it will be only Zeleskiaz and I today... of course with our chaperons as well yet they are already aware...’

I moved a little to the centre of my chambers so I could welco the crown prince more elegantly while thinking about the seriousness of this. And as soon as Paige opened the doors, his fra beca visible making my thoughts halt, and bowing lightly to her who opened the doors for him, the crown prince looked at with a gentlemanly stance, proper and kind. Tall, clean and admirable...

"... Good Morning, my lady." — He said, stepping into my chambers. — "I have co to et you as agreed."

"Good Morning, Your Highness..." — I said once Vitor and Theodore had followed him into the room. Closing the doors that would allow my voice so freedom. — "Thank you for accepting this eting. It was sudden, hence, I appreciate your assistance."

"It is I who appreciates you for inviting . I... This morning I had been battling the thoughts. The shoulds and should not... My lady’s summon was the clearance my mind needed."

"..."

"How about we have breakfast at the open lounge this morning?" — As I remained silent because of the anings he could have behind such battles, he suggested. Seemingly energetic as his deanour softened along his sound. — "It has been a while since we last went there, and the weather is still nice for us to enjoy it. Once winter arrives it will be difficult to enjoy the sight because of the cold... We should go before we can no longer do so."

"Oh, that sounds perfect... however, will it not be difficult for us to talk freely there? As you know I am keeping my voice a secret at the mont..."

"We have two chaperons that can also secure our privacy. I believe it will be alright... Is it possible, Sir Vitor?" — The prince asked, giving a glimpse to Vitor, who calmly answered after a proper pause.

"... Yes."

"Perfect. That being said... Does the lady agree?" — Zeleskiaz said after such a brief reply while looking at , offering his hand imdiately as I nodded and guiding while Paige inford the servants where the al would take place.

Naturally, the path there was long and spent in silence while followed by our chaperons, although, probably thanks to the exchange from yesterday with them, no problem was made over him and I having our limbs locked when it ca to walk myself respectfully.

"It looks like the sun will make us proper company. There are fewer clouds governing the sky than earlier." — He said when there was still a way to cross before arriving at the open lounge. Letting us observe the scene through the windows we ca across until we made it to our destination.

"Allow ." — The crown prince said while helping to take my seat. Acting so considerate that I almost giggled although it was not rare of him to do so... yet a childish side of could only feel fluttery for it.

"Many thanks, good gentleman." — I said, playfully but appreciative. Earning myself a handso grin from this man who moved stealthily to sit by my side while I thought of the next words to say so our conversation could begin. — "So... as your ink transmitted... it was because of a sole mont, was it not?"

"... Yes. Certainly, I was most impressed once I believed my imagination was playing gas. Nevertheless, it was not what I believed."

"I also conceived a similar thought... yet this all brought this eting upon us. Therefore, it is a good thing it happened."

"Indeed... a wonderful thing."

How deeply his stare fondly looked at made my head lower for a second out of bashfulness. I even questioned the confidence I was showing so effortlessly for a mont... yet not long enough for it to be regretted but on the contrary delectable as I embraced its fruits.

"... I believe it was truly wise to co here." — Suddenly, he said. To which I answered entertained.

"How co that his Highness is convinced when we have just arrived? It is a quick judgent to have."

"Because the sun did co to accompany us. I must say that, under the sun, my lady’s shades look majestic. It is most pleasant... breathtaking. Wise it was for I get to witness the grandeur of you."

"..."

"The servants are here to serve the al, my Lady Marianne, Your Highness." — While I could not think of a reply, Theodore tily announced. Excusing with it my silence while I could not bring myself to look at this man because of the unexpected complint he made in such pure impulse.
