Rose was trapped in the lake, she just backed off and watched him hopelessly.
" He is coming in! I'm just wearing my underwear, I can't get out of the water like this. I don't have a choice but to wait for that jerk to finish his bath"
Hans took off his shirt and jumped into the water. Meanwhile, Rose couldn't take her eyes off him.
" Why am I blushing? This is not my first time seeing his.. perfect muscles and...his...wide shoulders"
He started getting closer and closer to her.
- Why are you coming here? Stay over there.
But Hans didn't listen and kept swimming towards her.
She looked around her, the waterfall was behind her. She swam through it and hid behind the fallen water.
Hans followed her. She can see him standing right in front of the waterfall.
" If he takes another step, I will be doomed. Damn it, what should I do?"
Hans also saw her, not clearly, but he was able to distinguish her hair, her face, and her shoulders.
- Your sword is far away from you. So, tell me, what are going to do if I reach to you there. How are you going to defend yourself from me?
- I'm pretty good in material arts, I can...
In a blink of an eye, he grabbed her both hands and pulled her to him.
- Show me, how are you going to use those trembling hands, while trying to cover your body with them?
Rose was really surprised, her heart skipped a bit at that moment and her face turned red.
" What kind of situation is this? I can feel his....body"
She tried to get away from him, but his grab was too strong.
He kept glaring at her, while she was panicking.
" What should I do? what should I do"
Then he let her go
- Miss Rose, didn't I tell you to be more careful? You are weaker than you thought.
- Yes...I understand. Replied Rose while swimming away from him.
Hans stayed under the waterfall, although he didn't show any reaction, but he was, actually, about to lose control.
" This woman is driving me crazy, she Is like a magnet, I feel hopeless and weak in front of her. I must keep some distance or things will get out of control"
Suddenly he felt pain in his chest
" What's going on? This is not supposed to happen tonight! Wait a minute, this happened before! That night, after I kissed her? Is she the cause of my sudden transformation?"
Hans stayed underwater to keep himself cool and lower his heartbeats.
Finally, the pain went away.
"That woman is more dangerous than I thought"
Rose went back in a hurry to the camp. She was recalling what just happened over and over again
" What's wrong with me? My heart is about to explode..... Why did he do that? Perhaps.... does he like me? Oh, stop this nonsense Rose, the Prince hates women...But, I never felt that he hates me. He is sometimes cold and mean, but he helped me multiple times..."
Suddenly Yvine Jumped in front of her and freaked her out.
- Miss Rose are you okay? I was worried sick about you.
- I'm... I'm fine. I forgot myself there, the waters were amazing
Yvine touched Rose's forehead
- Did you find a hot spring? Your face is hot and red
Rose left her and ran toward her tent
- I'm tired I want to sleep.
" mmm, definitely something happened between the two of them"
