Anxious. Baffled. Uneasy.
"I have to speak with the king," Luna said vigorously without ringing a single hesitation in her low and calm voice.
Roxanne rushed to her, "Lady Luna, I know it is hard for you, but--"
Luna stood up and pats Roxanne's head," Roxanne, I have to. Don't worry I won't say anything unnecessary" she smiled softly, looking at Roxanne who was still giving her a disapproving look,
Luna walks past Roxanne and made her way to the King's Office. She thought Roxanne wouldn't follow her but she heard Roxanne's footsteps which made Luna increase her pace without looking back, Roxanne knew what Luna was trying to do so she increased her pace, too. But before she gets closer, someone grabbed her by the waist and dragged her away.
Luna who was still looking ahead didn't notice Roxanne's sudden disappearance at all. She looked back, hoping no one tries to stop her to speak with the king. She looked around and found no one. There she lets out a big sigh of relief, thinking that she left Roxanne far enough just because she couldn't keep up with her pace. As she mistakenly thought she would be able to know the truth. She turned again but before she does so, she felt someone cover her mouth and grabbed her by the waist to drag her into a room.
Luna desperately used her strength to break free from the person who was holding her, but she wasn't strong enough. The man threw her on the couch and walked back to the door to lock it.
"Ah--!" Luna screamed as she felt her head hit the wooden part of the couch which made her feel a little dizzy,
She looked up to the man who brought her here, she could feel her heart beating faster as the man slowly turned to her. She noticed the man was wearing a Royal suit which only those with Royal blood can wear. She tried to speak but instead,
"How dare y--!!" she was dumbfounded to see the man's face.
Her mouth dropped open as her eyes kept blinking. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was seeing the real thing. She shook her head and told herself this is impossible. She rubbed her eyes once again but nothing changed.
"I'm dreaming right--?" she blurted out,
He rolled his eyes," Tch. Stop it already. You look like an idiot, which was way more of you proving to me that you're a brat." he said with a cold voice,
Luna blinked twice before she understood what he meant. "What did you just say?" she asked with a tone of so much disbelief in her voice,
The man looked at her as if he was looking down on someone worthless, he combed his hair with his hands, "Brat."
Luna could feel her blood boiling by what he said. Luna stood up from the couch and brushed off something on her dress as if it got dirty just by getting touched by the man. She smirked. Giving him a mocking look.
The man rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze, "Idiot. You don't even know who you're talking to." He whispered in incredulity.
Luna's hands formed into fists, because obviously, yeah. She heard it. First, he called her a brat and she tried to provoke him but instead, he called her an idiot. Luna isn't the type of person who would let herself get bullied by someone who doesn't even know a thing about her. She took a step towards the man but she stopped suddenly, Her eyes were wide open, now the expression on her face was that she was stunned by having a good closer look at the man's face.
"Y-You--" she stammered, "Why are you wearing a Royal suit, Ren?"
In all seriousness, Ren answered her, "Because I am Prince Keane." he said without making eye contact.
"So, it is true? that you decided to get engaged to me because you knew about my powers, too?" tears started to form in her eyes, trying her best not to let a teardrop from her eyes.
Prince Keane sigh in disbelief, "Do you know you are in grave danger--?!"
"And why would you care?!" she exclaimed, "Who told you to interfere with my life?! If they want to kill me then just let them be--!!"
"DO YOU THINK YOUR PARENTS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES JUST TO SAVE THAT LIFE OF YOURS WOULD WANT TO HEAR THOSE WORDS FROM YOU?!" He raised his voice, taking a step forward to her as she took one step backward,
"They saved you because they knew you could save the Vreecs Kingdom," Luna took another step backward and she's already on the edge of the bed, The tears she was trying not to let out fell on their own, running down through her cheeks continuously as she sat down on the bed and covered her face with her hands.
Prince Keane looked at her. Not knowing what he should do next. He didn't mean to say those things. But it is also a hard decision for him. He has no interest in getting married. If he would marry someone someday, it better be a noble not someone like Luna, but still, he made an exemption. To protect Luna.
"What do you know?" her voice almost breaking up, He looked away.
Luna raised her head to look at him. Those cold ocean blue eyes. That intimidating look. That ugly attitude of his. That rudeness she couldn't bear. But despite those facts that he hid with the mask of a fake royal guard named Ren who never really existed, he still helped her during those worst times. She wiped her tears and gave a soft smile.
Prince Keane looked at her again, seeing the soft smile she gave him he could still see the sadness in her eyes. "Tch. You better be ready, our wedding ceremony will be next month. Your parents will be here starting the day after tomorrow." he said coldly,
"Thank you" she smiled, he rolled his eyes, "Tch."
Luna giggled, "I like you more when you show your real attitude." He furrowed his eyebrows, "No one likes this attitude, how come you like it--"
"Not that attitude, what I mean is the "Ren attitude" because it's your true self, right?" she raised her eyebrows, crossing her arms giving him a positive look,
"Who do you think you are? Y-You don't know who I am, this my true self and nothing else, that "Ren attitude" is just an act so stop assuming, brat."
"Did I just hear you stammering?? Oh no, what is this? The second Prince stammering over something so plain?" she teased.
Prince Keane looked at her seriously, "Remember there's just the two of us in this room, and we're engaged." He removed his coat and took a step closer making Luna lean back a little on the bed,
"I was just--" He leaned closer and put his finger on Luna's lips, "Shh, I'm not done yet." Her eyes widen when he started to loosen his necktie. She gulped.
"I'm still a man, and I suppose you already know what I'm about to do, right?" he smirked, never breaking his eye contact.
Luna felt her heart throbbing faster than ever, when he looks at her in the eyes she started losing strength as the Prince kept on leaning closer until she was already lying on the bed, Prince Keane was already on top of her.
Prince Keane started to unbutton his polo leaving Luna speechless. She could feel her cheeks burning hot as she looked at the traces of his beautiful body build. Making her whole body run in the heat. Prince Keane lifted her chin up making their eyes meet once again,
"You like what you see?" He gave her the most attractive look, their face only inches away.
"Now tell me what I want to hear, You're obviously getting turned on, Honey," he sneered
