Chapter 364: Heir Apparent of Ouyang Navy
The ship was smoothly sailing in the seas with the bright moon in the sky glowing and its reflection made the water look glittery as if the stars were now on the surface of the sea.
In that calm night, a man who have considered himself as assertive and not easily swayed by emotions has sneaked inside the room of the woman who changed his life the moment he saw her removing the veil off her face.
After that night that Takanashi made such a vile remark about her, he felt like her eyes were filled with more sorrow and as usual, she was not willing to share it with him. She had meals with him as usual, joked around but the longing in her eyes only got worse.
Does everyone see that yearning she has in her eyes, he didn’t know. He felt like he could give anything to not see the sorrow in her eyes. Then he’d be bold enough to ask her hand in marriage and would become the happiest man on earth. But now, he knew she won’t be happy with him as she is waiting for the one in her heart.
The woman slightly shifted in her sleep and he noticed the tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Why... My Prince...?", she mumbled as always.
It broke his heart everytime he sees her tears and hear that gut wrenching, meek voice of hers but there it is,the truth.
She couldn’t stop looking for him even in her sleep!
He wiped the corners of her eyes and gently patted her head and it seemed to have calmed her down and there it was... The genuine smile, the smile filled with content and love, like she’s the most happiest, blessed person, like she is with the one in her heart.
Why couldn’t I be the one you love this much?
But he could understand why she tries to stay strong in front of him and hide certain things from him. Everytime he tries to express himself to her, he ends up telling something or doing something that would only hurt her.
It is a miracle she is still talking to me!
