Chapter 5: Getting engaged
I eyed the crown prince who was smirking at me deviously. I knew I shouldn't have believed at him from the beginning! To think that he would actually help me from breaking off our engagement!
"Do you have anything you want to say? Rachel?" My Father asked. He was looking at me intently, though his face was smiling, his eyes say the opposite.
I slouched on the couch as I feel him tower over me. "Dad your eyes are not smiling at all!" I thought as he was still giving me that death glares. He knew what I was trying to do and I'm dead when we get back home.
I gulped and shook my head no.
The Queen smiled widely as she clapped her hands joyously. "Great, well then, let us start preparing in announcing their engagement formally!"
Wow, I couldn't believe that I just got myself engaged'...I thought as I looked at the Crown Prince and telepathically told him a "Why did you break our plan?" which he replied with a smile that said "What plan?"
Aaaaaahhh! I hate this guy!
"Your royal highness, Father, Mother, Can the Crown Prince and I be excused for a minute?" I asked as I was trying to compose myself as to not burst in anger in front of them. The king raised his eyebrows at me while my Father darkly looked at me.
"Oho? Where do you think you're going, Young Lady?" My dad asked me, smiling. I shivered when I met his eyes, I repeat Father, Your eyes aren't smiling at all!
"What's the harm? they need to spend time together and get to know each other, right dear?" The queen said as he asked for permission to her husband, the king. Who was looking at us, skeptically?
I gulped. "He's....not easy to fool," I thought as I felt a very dark presence coming from my Father. "And my Father too" I break out into a cold sweat as I tried to dodge the sharp gazes my Father gave to me.
It's getting, a little uncomfortable here.
"I see, then the two of you are excused," The King said as he glanced at the both of us.
I hurriedly curtsied and walked with the Crown Prince trailing behind me, but not before I was shot a glare by my father that literally said "Don't you dare mess things up"
Just after the door closed, I then proceeded to bombard questions to the crown prince.
"Ugh, and I thought I could trust you, you really are the incarnation of evil"
I said as I facepalmed. remind me that he's the devious crown prince, who I didn't try to take his route for 'reasons'
"I did no wrong, I merely acted on a whim to stop you from breaking our engagement" He smiled as he talked.
"But we agreed to break our engagement! haven't we?" I irritatedly asked.
"Yes we did, but I changed my mind" He smiled. Why do I feel like he was trying to make me explode in anger?
"And here I thought that you don't want to have me as your fiance" I sighed hopelessly.
"Why you're right, I have no interest in taking you as my fiance at all~" He said as he leaned on the wall.
"Then--!" I enthusiastically said but he cut me off.
"But I never told you that I have no interest in taking you as my wife, No?"
Fuck
I hate this prince, I swear to God!
"On the other hand, a fiance could be easily stolen by breaking off the engagement, meanwhile a wife couldn't. Meaning," He stepped up to me and cupped my chin. OMG, what is he trying to do?! how can a mere 10-year-old boy know such things?! He's too innocent for things like this!!
Why do I have a weird feeling that even if you're still not halfway into the game, you already GG'd? That's what I'm feeling right now.
He inched his face to me. Noo! Don't come closer! You incarnated evil person! I don't like where this is heading, my mind is thinking that I should stand my ground yet I closed my eyes.
A minute passed, or so, but I never heard him utter a single word. Instead, I felt his hand drawback and as I opened my eyes, he started laughing.
I felt my cheeks grew warm as I stood there, trying to process what just happened. DID HE JUST MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME?
"Did you just closed your eyes? were you anticipating for something?" He laughed out.
"Hahahahaha funny! So funny! So funny that I could die in laughing at your words" I said laughing it out loud sarcastically. After I said that he stopped laughing as he looked at me, dead in the eyes
"Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic right now?" He said. I virtually facepalmed once again. I hate this boy for real. Not gonna lie, he does have the looks even if he's still a 10-year-old brat but holy moly, he's too handsome for a kid.
I ignored his existence and strode to where I know that I couldn't see his face anymore.
One thing for sure is that I messed up big time.
