Chapter 335: Apologies and Confessions
I woke up the next morning alone in bed with my lower abdomen aching from the intense mating ritual that I went through with the prince last night. For a moment, I felt slightly relieved that I didn’t have to face the prince immediately when I woke up. That feeling of relief was only fleeting and short-lived before it was replaced with an overwhelming sense of worry and then embarrassment.
I shouldn’t have begged the prince to cum inside of me last night.
No matter what I thought, I knew very well that it was already too late. What was said was said and what was done was done. At least, that was how it was supposed to be. I would have been a lot less embarrassed of what I had said had there been resulting actions that actually went my way. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case and that only made me feel like I was fighting a losing battle no matter how hard I tried. In the end, the prince never came inside of me, and the result was the awkward atmosphere between us the following morning.
All pain and no gain were a very accurate way to describe what had happened regarding my selfish request. Although I should have known that it must have been hard to persuade the prince in this manner, I still felt extremely discouraged despite the fact that it was just my first try. In my mind, I could see Duchess Flavia’s face and her beautiful smile while she stroked my ego with comforting and encouraging words. I began losing count of the times that I’ve sighed since the moment that I woke up.
Prince Leonard was already dressed and ready to go for the day when I finally turned up at the dining table where breakfast was waiting for us. I was too anxious to say anything and no matter how hard I tried; I couldn’t come up with the words to start a conversation with the prince.
“Your Highness, the car is ready...” a member of the staff came to inform us and that was when I lost my chance to talk to Prince Leonard.
“Thank you. We will be there soon,” he replied casually.
Things did not magically improve between us when we got into the car. Sitting next to the prince made me feel even more apprehensive. I wondered why Prince Leonard had not said a word to me and then I started fearing that he was still mad at me for what happened last night. I wondered where we were headed as I watched the view passing by from outside the car window.
“Where are we going?” I asked after summoning all the courage that I had.
