Chapter 60: Seeing Baby Off
Lilac
I flushed brightly as I stared up at the Prince. I could feel a thousand people’s eyes on me right now because we’re in public. I instinctively stepped back, but a grip on my waist pinned me in place.
"Ah... Sloan, people are watching." I pointed out while my cheeks burned.
"Ignore them." He responded without missing a beat and I almost let out a groan. That was easier said than done. I couldn’t ignore them, not when I grew up always being conscious of people and also able to feel their eyes on me despite backing them.
When it was obvious that the prince wasn’t relenting, I let out a small sigh before rising on my tippy toes and kissing his cheek.
When he pulled away, he was laughing a little and the sound warmed my insides a little right as his arm settled over my shoulder again. "That wasn’t a kiss, little one."
"But I’ll drop it for now. Next time, I’ll kiss you myself in public." He told me as we resumed walking and my heart pounded away while his words danced around the insides of my chest over and over again. Was that supposed to be a threat? Or a promise? I couldn’t be sure, but I just know that my stomach fluttered and I didn’t grow scared or nervous. Instead, I wanted said next time to come again so he could kiss me himself, because he was so good at it.
When it comes to kissing, I have a lot to say compared to him, and I hope that my inexperience wouldn’t turn him away or make him irritated at some point. I’ve just not been opportune to practice before. In my former kingdom, being together with boys was forbidden, and I was better attracted to girls, and I was also in a disguise my entire life, so my only kiss in my entire life was with Malachi, and that had scared me so much because he was my half brother.
Now that I was thinking about Malachi again, I wonder if he’s still in that prison that our uncle ordered for him to be locked up in. Or has he been freed? After our father died, who is presently on the throne? Our cruel uncle or Malachi?
I’d definitely like to know all that is currently happening back at home. Here, cell phones exists. People use it to call each other and send each other messages. Back at home, nothing like that existed— you need a physical messenger to deliver your messages for you, or a bird to travel with it.
