Chapter 19 - CONFESSION

*Knock Knock

Someone knocked at the door while I was reading.

"Yes who is it?" I said.

"Princess, I m Yuna, the maid that delivered the mail to the prince." said the maid.

"P-P-Princess!?" I mumbled in shock.

"Ah yes what do you want?" I asked.

"Princess, it's time for you to meet with the prince in the garden for tea."

"Ah yes, one minute." I said while keeping my bookmark on the page I was reading.

"Okay let's go." I said.

"Yes princess." she replied.

"Ah also, why are you calling me princess?" I asked.

"It's because princess is the prince's fiancé." she replied.

"Ah is that so?" I said.

I continued following her to the garden. Suddenly a gush wind blew which made my hair cover my eyes. I felt a warm hand removing the hair. As soon as I was able to see properly I saw Prince Jinwoo's face close to me. I pushed him while my ears turned red.

"I a-apologise Prince Jinwoo b-but you were too c-close-e." I said all flustered.

"I understand." he said. He then took my hand kissed on the back, then holding my hand took me to the table arranged for tea. He helped sit on the chair.

"May ask you Prince Jinwoo, why have you brought me to your palace?" I asked him.

"Well because father allowed me to." he replied.

'WHAT!? IS THIS PERSON SERIOUS?' I was in shock. Not wanting to show my suprised look I asked "Prince Jinwoo, I like your jokes but I really want to know."

"I will tell you a story." he said.

"But I wanted to know-" I was interrupted.

"There was little boy who was born in a massive empire. His father was the emperor and his mother was the empress. He wasn't the first son so he didn't receive love and care as much as his oldest brother, the crown prince did. His second older brother was also given a title of a knight. As time went by he thought he became useless. Then he met a brave knight, the Duke of the empire. They grew friendly to each other. The Duke even saw him as his own son. One day when the boy visited the Duke's house for the first time he say little girl not to young than him playing with her dog and that is when he fell for her. He was too afraid to go to her so he secretly watched her play everytime he went to the Duke's house. As he turned 13, he had to stop going to her house and had to stay at the palace in order to study more and travel abroad when he would turn 20." the prince said.

"What happened after that?" I asked.

"Well alot happened but now the girl and the boy finally met and are having tea together." said Prince Jinwoo smiling.

My mind went blank then I realised he was talking about us.

"Prince Jinwoo, I seriously admire you but I can not accept your feelings." I said.

"It's fine if can't now but in the future you will." he said.
