Chapter 268
Excitement was easily planted within me. The uncertainty in an innocent challenge was a nice impulse for a playful woman like myself.
Having serious goals can make one feel pressured to achieve things and develop unnecessary stress. Which I believe could be our case without our knowledge. After all, the subconscious is a very powerful feature of the human body. Powerful and troublesome.
’If I have an innocent motive to get better... one silly like my personality... I could feel less pressured and still work hard since I’m an aspiring detective. Fufufu~’
With this in mind, I grasped my post-it notes to write another response.
[ That appears to be fair. As I also keep secrets from the Prince, and I am also to tell them when my voice is gained. I will grant His Highness this selfishness. ]
I felt malicious. But strangely pleasant since his new demeanour kind of allowed this brazen attitude I decided to take. Having a loosened mood was the best. And he had succeeded in changing my spirits to feel comfortable once again in his company. Moreover, he had told us he would entertain us in this journey, and with this crafty way he was trying to get our attention... he was honouring his words again.
"Selfish? That... haha... My Lady, how am I selfish?"
’Don’t feign innocence, kinky. I know you’re a sly one.’ — Sneering at him for also being shameless when asking this, I intentionally moved my eyes with glamorous suspense. Wanting to mess with him a little bit.
[ The Prince is making it so I have no choice but to accept. That is a selfish action on his side. ]
"Am I?... Nonetheless... that is not selfish in my eyes."
’You’re right. It’s just shameless–’
"A truly selfish thing would be... to do as I wish right now." — Pushing my hand down that was preparing to write a retort, he leaned closer. Making me lean back to keep a distance he shouldn’t... and haven’t crossed in these last few days.
