Chapter 13: Moonstone harbour
Abrielle was not expecting they would be visiting Moonstone Harbour on their way to their honeymoon destination, but it was still a good location.
Moonstone Harbour was a commercial town where merchants from different kingdoms and lands in Darconia traded and was the perfect place for Abrielle's next plan.
It was 2 hours past noon when their ship got to Moonstone Harbour; Abrielle hadn't had her lunch yet because Cedric decided that they would have lunch out.
The wind was blowing lightly through Abrielle's ginger hair immediately after she stepped on deck. Since it was in the afternoon and the temperature was higher, she reduced the amount of layers she was wearing earlier.
"It is so hot," Abrielle complained bitterly after she left the accommodations area and was on the open deck. The sun was burning her skin, and the sunscreen she applied didn't seem like it was working.
"Sorry, my Highness," the maid whom Cedric assigned to Abrielle apologized gingerly. She immediately pulled out a parasol to cover the princess. Up till now, Abrielle didn't bother to know her name.
Abrielle's eyes darted around to the deck until she found the devil that was giving her sleepless nights standing at the gangway. Cedric had changed his outfit to a proper one that matched her attire.
This got on Abrielle's nerves, but she understood he wanted to keep up the public image that they got along. His thick black hair that had grown past his shoulders was packed into a messy bun making his appearance neat
Even with his signature gold mask on, it didn't hide his charms. If Abrielle's calculations were right; Cedric should be 23 years old by now. Cedric sensed Abrielle's gaze and then turned towards her with a charming smile on his face that gave her the chills.
