“I did not…expect to meet you here, Prince Kin,” I said as I tried to keep my voice steady and a friendly smile on my lips.
I bowed politely to him. It doesn’t matter whether or not I wanted him here. He’s still the second prince which meant that I had to show respect.
“I did not get a reply to my latest letter, so I was just a little bit worried about you…” Prince Kin said.
His overly sweet smile was starting to creep me out. He was right, I did not reply to his latest message because I did not see the need to. Was that too rude?
“I apologized, Prince Kin, for my delayed response. I was planning to send you a reply later today after my lessons are over,” I said, trying to sound pleasant. Obviously, I lied.
“Then I guess I’ll be patient and wait for your favorable response. I truly wish to spend more time with you and a dinner would be a good start. After all, you would be my sister-in-law very soon,” Prince Kin said, his eyes watching me intently.
