Chapter 493
We were talking about us being together... about us telling our families that being together was our wish...
Another kind of bashfulness and tension... one timid yet expectant of this unsettling thrill we did not know well how to surpass... yet we enjoyed in the ignorance we had as it was our first time...
*Knock knock* — "My Lady, I have brought the tea."
Paige’s assistance came sooner than I thought, and she served us honeyed tea like she had started to do after the prince had told his like for it.
"If there is anything else, do let myself serve you, my Lady. I will be outside if anything is needed." — She said after serving our teacups, bowing elegantly happily before leaving as announced.
We saw her walk out and remained in the silence we already had settled before she entered... until I decided to ask what I already had in mind before she arrived.
"Excuse me, your highness..." — I began while curiosity made me nervous to know the answer. — "I was wondering if maybe... you could share with me what you initially had thought to tell my father... Perhaps that way I could advise you better..."
"... Well... My Lady, there is something I should tell you before I share it with you." — Seemingly pained to say it, the Crown Prince said as if that something was bad news. Sighing before proceeding with his words. — "First of all... Your Father is already aware of the intentions I have when it comes to you."
"Huh? H-how did he learn about it, your Highness?? He has never mentioned it to myself."
"... I told him myself."
"..."
"And that being the case... I need to say it was not in an amiable ambience, my Lady."
