Chapter 194: For me, Love has a broader meaning
Scarlet looked at herself in the mirror after getting dressed up. When she received an unexpected message from Alaric in the afternoon, she was unable to believe it for some time. Alaric wished to see her in the famous coffee house in the capital.
"Miss, the royal carriage has arrived. Prince Alaric himself has graciously come to escort you," the female servant informed her with a sense of urgency, their demeanor betraying the significance of the moment.
"Prince Alaric is here!" Scarlet exclaimed in disbelief, hastily adorning herself with a delicate gold chain adorned with a flower pendant. With care, she descended the stairs, finding her mother waiting downstairs.
"You look lovely, dear. Let’s go, I’ll accompany you outside," Mrs. Leninnster said warmly, placing a comforting hand on her daughter’s back as they made their way out of the house together.
Alaric stood by the carriage, already awaiting their arrival. With a courteous nod, he greeted Scarlet’s mother, assuring her of Scarlet’s safe return home before dinner.
"I trust His Highness," Mrs. Leninnster affirmed with a smile, her gaze shifting to Scarlet, who stepped forward and soon got inside the coach.
Alaric, too, entered and the coachman locked the door from the outside.
"I would have come to the coffee shop. His Highness should not have taken the trouble to fetch me," Scarlet said.
"I didn’t get any trouble, Miss Scarlet," Alaric replied with a smile. "Are you happy with this union?" he suddenly asked her.
