Chapter 57: We meet again
Damien blinked at her. He couldn’t believe what he just heard, and had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating. When the reality of what the princess had asked of him set in, however, his face heated up.
"You do realize I’m a boy right?" He asked just to make sure she realized what she was saying.
"Ah shut up! You sound like I just asked you to come and do the deed with me!" Eden retorted, looking away from Damien’s eyes.
"I can’t reach my hands behind my back and, well, your sister left before I got my uniform. You can’t expect me to ask that old man whilst you’re here can you?"
Now it was Damien’s turn to blush. He slowly reached for the back of his neck and started rubbing it whilst standing from the chair he was sitting in, wondering why had he made this into something it wasn’t.
"Where’s the zipper?" Damien asked once he was near the changing room.
Eden stepped out of it, turning around with her hands placed on her chest, firmly holding her dress in place.
"Behind me," she announced, her voice sounding too quiet for someone who was being loud a second ago. "Make it quick before the tailor and his dwarf come back."
Damien was quick to notice how her blush had extended to the back of her ears and neck—much to his relief. He thought he was the only one with unnecessarily active brains between him and the princess. However, whatever perverted thought was in his mind quickly vanished when—after taking the small red zipper and pulling it a few centimeters up Eden’s back—he noticed what looked like a scar, but the black line was too clean to have come from an attack.
