Chereads / Wicked Crown / Chapter 16 - First Kiss

Chapter 16 - First Kiss

Peaceful night is perfect for meditation, she needs to clear her mind. Her body is aching like hell, she didn't know Desmond is such a cruel sparring partner. He's part of the game too, that's why he's familiar.

He said Deimos was in the palace right now for something important, so the king summoned him. Katara's eyes were closing, she could hear everything. The whispers of wind, the fireflies, the bees sipping the nectars on the flowers.

She heard footsteps approaching the green house, she opened her eyes and then looked at the door where she saw the crown prince enter.

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" The crown prince gently said, Katara shook her head.

"No not at all your highness, why are you here? You should rest, you look tired."

"You're calling me your highness huh? I told you just call me Deimos. I'm fine, I couldn't sleep even if I am tired after all…" The prince lay down with her, and took a seat not so far from Katara.

"What are you doing?" The prince asked.

"Meditation…" She answered.

"It could help you to have a clear mind, reduce your stress and it's set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. You should do this, to help you sleep I think?" She uttered.

"And oh, I meet your brother today. Thank you for sending him."

"No, I should apologize for breaking my promise."

"Oh, come on! It's nothing, I totally understand since you're a prince."

"Really? You're not mad?"

"Huh? Why would I? I'm not, so don't worry, you should sleep. Do you want to sleep in my lap?" She asks, it's obvious that the crown prince is tired just look at his eyes. She saw how his ear turned into red and then avoided gazes, she chuckled.

"Why? Are you shy? You already did that, remember."

"O-Of course not! I'm not shy..." He denied, and she laughed more.

"Come on Your highness sleeps with me, hmmm." She teases him, she uses her sexy voice. The crown prince's face turns into a red tomato that encourage to tease him more, come to think of it. He is in love with someone else, but why would he spend his time too much with her? Omg! Is he being seduced by her? No way, she didn't use her seduction techniques on him because he's in love with someone else.

"I think I should go now!" The prince is about to stand when Katara holds his wrist and then pulls him back but she uses more Strength to pull him, that's why the prince loses his balance and gradually falls into her. For just in the blink of an eye Deimos is on the top of Katara while their lips touch each other, Katara feels the lips cotton candy of the crown prince.

Deimos immediately pulls himself together, he looks at Katara who links her lips.

"I thought your lips tasted like gold." Katara said it was nothing.

"You taste good!" She added and gave him a thumbs up, Deimos fluttered more. He was squating at the ground while hiding his face because of embarrassment, he touched his lips.

"Y-You taste good too!" He whispered, she tasted like a strawberry. Her lips are so soft.

"Really, oh I just ate strawberries. Thank god!" Katara looked at the Prince, he seemed so embarrassed so she decided to tease him again.

"Then do you want more?" She bent and slowly put his palm at the ground and crawled to approach the prince, her color red dress sliding through the grass as she moved herself.

"Do you know how to kiss your highness?" She asks him, and the crown prince steps back.

"No, it's my first kiss!" Katara stopped and narrowed her eyes. The prince is so cute, how could this cold heart prince be so cute right now? She prevents herself from laughing so hard, and pitching his red cheeks.

"Really?"

"No, I mean…" Katara could not help but to giggle.

"So it means you're a virgin boy?" A mischievous smile is visible to her face.

"What?"

"Oh my god! I can't believe a crown prince who was being adored by many women is a virgin? If I am a man and have your power and authority I'll be with whoever I want."

"Have you kissed someone before?" The Prince asks, she proudly answers him.

"Yes, Many times." She casually answered and then counted in her mind, she already lost in tract anymore after all that's part of her job. The Prince looked so shocked because of what she answed but then his expression changed.

"Do you want me to teach you how to kiss?" She seductively said, and looked at him.

"No, thanks." The prince answered her immediately.

"Oh come on, you're marrying someone without learning how to kiss?"

"No, thank you. I should only kiss the person I like." Katara stopped, he seemed pissed off or something that's why she just zip her mouth.

"Tsk, I didn't know you were this conservative." She whispered to herself.

"What?" The prince uttered while his one eyebrow raised.

"No, nothing. Virgin boy" She said and whispered to herself the next two words, why did he become grumpy in the blink of an eye? He's a really unpredictable guy.

"I should take my leave now. I need to do something."

"Huh? What about rest?" She asked worriedly.

"Forget it because it seems I can't bring myself to sleep because of someone." Katara stood up and blinked many times, she followed the prince walking out from the green house. She can't help but to wonder why? Is this because she teases him? He looks like a child throwing some tantrums! She scratched her nape.

"Then I may take my leave Ms. Heldigard." He kissed her hand and finally bid his goodbye.

"Are you mad at calling you a virgin?" The crown prince just ignored her, Evan took a glance at the prince who seemed so irritated.

"I'm sorry!" Katara yelled and waved her hand.

"Are you alright, your highness?" Evans asks, what happened, why is he so grumpy when he's so excited to see the young lady earlier.

"How could she casually brag about kissing many times?" Evans heard the crown prince whisper, he never saw the crown prince being this pissed off before. He prevents himself from laughing, the crown prince is one of the cruelest person he even knows but when it comes to Lady Heldigard he's so soft and nice. He witnessed how he could kill someone without any mercy so he never imagined being this good.

Katara saw Desmond walk into the banquet hall, and she immediately approached him. Unlike the crown prince, Desmond seems invisible to everyone. She wanted to be friends with him, he's nice and it also could help her to survive the game. He's also a good sparring partner, the prince is busy and she doesn't want to bother him anymore.

"Good Morning your highness!" He's also a prince, a royal.

"Ummm me?" He confusely asked.

"Yes, I am greeting you, your highness!"

"You shouldn't call me your highness."

"Why not you're a prince, a king's son. I would like to introduce myself properly. I am Ave Heldigard. Could you spar with me again?"

"Are you not afraid of me?"

"Why would I? Don't worry I am not afraid of anything." She learns the people are avoiding him because of his scars, but that's not a problem for her. If the person is good, why would you judge them?

"Are you going to eat? Let's eat!" She cheerfully said and then pulled Desmond to their table.
