Chereads / After I Took Off My Tiara / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

The next day were just fine, again no one talked in the car.

Felix casted a glance to Istel, "Yesterday I was saying that only two person can get inside the car, the rest should find their ways to go back home. You seem to misunderstood me." She bowed at soon she heard he was finished talking.

"Sorry for not paying attention yesterday. I won't do it ever again." JinJin and William was astonished the way the two of them talked to each other.

It was as cold as ice and hard as rock. There's not even a smile. They were too formal talking to each other.

That just means that, on their first night, nothing really happened. According to this scene, it's impossible for them to be romantic on the bed.

"It's alright. I also have appointments later so I can't take you home." She nodded without words. She was dispirited that she just looked at the view outside.

Wanting to sleep, a 'Ting' woke her up. She unhurriedly opened her phone only to see that it was Jason. The true leader of H3K.

The message content were just small.

[Hira, Hina, Kiro... I am Hiro. Ling time no see.] Seeing the message, she couldn't help but to glanced at the two sitting on the back.

'Seems like, the case will start soon than she expected. '

Yes, she wasn't really of the Group, but because of Jason had to do things, she needs to accept the temporary position.

They went out of the car. While walking she received a note which was for her. She opened it. 'Please come and see me at the woods.' It was a random letter hut she still had to go for her image.

Arriving at the woods on the back of the building, she saw a man whose standing up with his back facing her.

The guy was tall, clean cut hair, his hands was in his pocket. He was wearing a jacket on the top of is uniform.

He turned around as he smiled sweetly to her. A sweat fell from his forehead as he was so nervous making himself comfortable.

She was perplexed why would a guy asked her personally??—She meant with a note, not personally.

"I am Lianz, I invited you her... to give... my... I-I mean... to confess... Istel Red Lim." Biting his lower lip, he's standing in front of him like a student waiting for his teacher diligently. He then lowered his head embarrassed of what he had said to her.

Confession? To... me...?? He's actually sure..?? I mean... what's there to like about me?

Second day of school yet there is someone who wanted to confess to me. A week ago, I married the Third Prince, and now a handsome student was planning to confess... hooh... I am such a beauty then.

She nodded, "Ahh... Lianz, right? Nice meeting you. How do you know my name?" She was somewhat excited because it's her first time experiencing a man confessing to her.

He scratched his hair, "Ahh... you're the Third Princess. Naturally, everyone know who you are." Gaining up confidence, he looked up to Istel.

She smiled to him, "Yes... I am the Third Princess.. you know what I mean right?" She hinted him that she already had a husband.

As Lianz was pondering about it, Hazel Ah passed through the woods coincidentally.

She was looking around harmlessly when he saw Istel with Lianz smiling to each other. Without hesitation, she captured the exact moment where they were both smiling.

Now, she finally don't need to put herself on risk of damaging Istel's reputation. She was planning on risking anything to help her father, but time had given her a chance.

She smirk before leaving the situation completely.

"I really like you..." He said with a lot of difficulties.

Istel nodded to him, "Liking and loving is in different categories. I know that you confessed to me so that you won't need to peek or do any secrets move to see me. However, I have a husband. I loved and respect him with all my might. Also, as a Third Princess, I advice you to not like me because I don't like you." It was a ling and a frank explanation. Of course, it was polite too.

He seems to turned his happy expression to a gloomy one, "But the Second Princess always stick to him like glue! You should've been the one whose beside him!" He yelled furiously.

In his mind, Felix married an appealing and a good catch wife but Felix doesn't seem to show any hints of liking her.

She was shocked at how did he managed to know all those sort of things. "*sigh*. Mr. Lianz, don't accuse people of how you see them. Sometimes, what we see things was completely different from the actual thing that had happened. And one last thing, don't involve yourself regarding the royalties things."

She looked at his obvious reaction, "Then I shall take my leave." She then left him with unsteady heart.

Will something happen after seeing Lianz? This is freaking me out.

She never though that keen eyes was so perfect! Lianz knew that Nilet was sticking to him like glue so perhaps everyone already know what's her purpose by doing that.

She doesn't mean that Nilet purpose was to hurt the royalties, she meant, Nilet wanted her husband to be Felix.

Such a waste though. She never had the chance to become his wife. Also, as the Second Princess, why must she displayed her actions superficially? She shouldn't do that in the near future to avoid misunderstandings.

Hazel An smiled cunningly. After Istel's secret meeting with Lianz was out, who would declare that she is a significant and dignified princess?? Tch, what a joke.

I am sure that naive Istel would helplessly cried and asked for help to the royalties. However, because she already dishonour them, no one would ever help her.

So, I will show to the scene and encourage her to take revenge to the royalties! For the reason of, taking off her title which didn't last long than two weeks. She already conceited that Istel would be very furious to the royalties to he extent she can't be controlled.

Istel sat on the chair seemingly down. Mich smiled to her which she just replied by smiling too.

William saw the dispirited Istel and tapped her back. "What's with that expression? Are you alright?" He reckoned that something must've happened to her when she met with that anonymous person who gave her a note.

"Nothing... just... tired..." She said. Earlier when Lianz confessed to her, she was utterly stressed because she can't accept a handsome man like him.

Sadly! A handsome man shouldn't be rejected! But what can she do? She had a husband whom she don't even like and she didn't even met him before their wedding.

Curse that edict from 1705 BCE to 21st century. Argh! What does it has to do with me? I am totally a victim of this marriage.

Lianz was the third rank of all time next to Nilet who's the second rank, then Hazel who's the third rank.

•°♣♣°•

When the school ended, she saw Lianz and just nodded to him as a courtesy. Looking around, she saw Nilet opening the door of Felix. Sure enough, they are so busy. Let them be, she doesn't care.

Gazing at the next street in front of them, she noticed a familiar car. It was white old car—it was her father!!

"Father!!" She ran wildly with her friends followed her when she ran suddenly. After seconds, JinJin realized that it was Istel's father.

"Uncle!" William yelled to Istel's father as a greeting.

Istel forgot that if the store near their house wasn't open, her parents ought to buy things to this supermarket in front of her school.

Her dad looked at the one who shouted and was happy to see her. He then motioned them to come near him.

Felix's car window was slightly open, so when Istel shouted, he clearly heard her say the word, 'Father.'

He immediately went out to pay respects to him.

He looked back to Nilet then said, "Wait for me here, I'll go and greet my father-in-law." Without a second thought, he ran up to them.

Nilet was shocked about how did he heard Istel when she didn't even heard it.

She was mad because she was about to ask something yet he left telling her he'll greet his father.

Why that Istel always showed up when it's a perfect time for them to talk?! She looked back to him only to see he's already there smiling to his father-in-law.

She was kind of hurt but didn't let the driver in front of her to see her expression. She sighed then just flipped the pages from one of her books.

Ha~~~ why don't Felix became my husband instead? Istel also wasn't a royalty... and based on experience, she has that all!
