*~Continuation+Argue~*
Io was suppose to go until to be interrupted by the palace...
Mary asked what's the problem only to be disturbed by the things she heard. Io was being problematic at his cousins workaholic behavior when he receives multiple complains from the staffs again.
"Your highness, his highness Zess didn't touch his food" one of the palace workers said.
"He hasn't sleep properly again" palace worker 2
"He's been working nonstop" palace worker 3
"He always takes his time in paperworks" palace worker 4
"He said his going to tie us upside down if we tell you, save us your highness!!" palace worker 5
Io advised Mary to be take it easy towards his cousins behavior but Mary's aura was like fire that even Io was scared of.
"Hmm...so Im up against a formidable opponent interesting *Dark aura* Don't worry Prince Io, I'll do my best!" with a smile that is kinda develish.
"Somehow Mary-san has a scary aura." he commented.
After that, the young lady uses her brute force which destroys the gold door nob.
As she manage entering the busy Prince's study room, she saw Zess overly concentrated in his duties.
Stamping, signing and writing at the same time.
And was amazed "Wow, he's not all looks but he's got brains, I really think he is very great." she sliced a piece of pie and called his attention.
"Your highness I brought you a ham and cheese pie..since you didn't eat breakfast."
The busy Prince just noticed her attendant presence. Zess was angered and yelled at Mary.
"How did you enter my room when the door is locked?!" The irritated ask.
"Ah, you mean the door? I destroyed it" Mary countered.
"You--- destroying my property, I'll fire you!"
"oh you can't do that *shows the contract* since there is a law which states that I can do anything in order to take care of you, therefore I'll destroy one doorknob at a time if you lock your door while over working."
(Dark aura filled the room)
Out of Mary's surprise the pridefull Zess was intimidated and started a childish argument it lasted for 2 hours til it ended, It was 1pm in the afternoon.
"*Zess pants* Your unbelievable to think someone could argue with me, your very irritating! How could I eat this thing? What if you put poison?! Do you think you can take my parent's kingdom?!"
Mary grabbed a piece left on the tray and forcibly putting it in Zess' mouth.
"You witch! I'll sue you! How dare you!! *munching*.....it's delicious! The cheese and the crust crispiness are perfect! The flavor is unique"
The delighted king eats until he finished the whole pie of plate.
"Glad you like it! I'm happy" Mary said with a smile.
Zess was embarrassed walking closer to Mary and pinched her cheeks.
"Oww! It hurts your highness, I'm very sorry I won't do it again!"
*still pinching the cheeks"
"Oh, so this is your weak point eh? How amusing, now whose the boss now huh?" with an evil smile
Later, Io arrives with a terrifying news.
"Zessy! Emergency!!..... *paused for a moment* Oh zessy, you finally arrived at the blossom time, if you had hots for Mary-san you should have locked the door"
"It's a misunderstanding Prince Io!" Mary replied.
"You're wrong, I just pinched her cheeks cuz she's messing with me!" Zess follows.
"You're the one whose hot headed in the first place" Mary said to Zess.
"That's why leave me alone" Zess said.
"Silence! That's enough for you two." Io calms them.
Several minutes past...
While Io and Zess are talking, Mary prepares the tea.
"So, what brings you back early Io? Zess asked.
"Actually, tonight at the Royal Gala Princess Mei wei is coming"
"WHAT?!"
(he terrified king shouts)
"There's no way, that fatso getting near me! What does she want for me?!"
"How rude your highness, do not speak ill of the Princess! Even though she's fat, she likes you for who you are! *shivers* though I can't imagine to have a demon sister in law"
"Im not marrying anyone!" Angry Zess yells.
"Prince Io...You're rude to her yourself" Mary added
"Actually, Mei wei is a princess from a neighboring country. She fell inlove of first sight to Zessy during his visitation for the alliance, during his stay at her country, the Prince cannot properly eat or sleep with her stalking" Io explained
"So, in other words, Princess Mei wei is the reason why the Prince cannot eat, sleep, and always lock his door, She's the no. 2 fan" Mary asked.
"Well..not really, but who wouldn't want to marry a young Prince with an outstanding remarks and the Highest ruler of the great kingdoms..and wait..If Mei is the no. 2 who is no. 1 fan??" Io asked.
"I am *with a smile* though, Im not a stalker, I'm really happy to see and work with the Prince in person, even if he always bullies me, I am very thankful to you Prince Zess." Mary said.
Zess was shocked of Mary's statement at that moment...
"That isn't gonna change anything I still don't trust you!" Zess said.
"I thought so but I hope someday you will"
(Zess blushed)
Io sensed their development therefore he constructs a plan.....
That is to make Mary pretend as Zess Girlfriend.
The two were shocked and disagrees since Io provokes him with no other choice but to agree.
Only few hours had left until the Royal Gala that the two pretending love birds prepares themselves. Much to Io's delight...
