Chereads / The Crown Prince's Convenient Bride / Chapter 14 - the funeral

Chapter 14 - the funeral

Arthur is laughing to see the hostile treatment from his wife. He is trying to dry her long hair in a clumsy manner until Catherine took over the hairdryer from his hand.

"I will dry my own hair. Thank you, your highness," Catherine is taking over the wireless hairdryer from his hand.

"Do not be so picky. This is my first time drying someone hair. You have to stay still," Arthur is taking back the hairdryer from her hand and doing the rest of her hair.

Catherine is looking at the handsome crown prince who is drying her hair. There is a rumour in the Imperial city that this handsome crown prince is only an accessory in the royal family.

He is under the control of his uncle from his mother side. As soon as the king is falling sick, the decree comes out to make the queen's only brother in charge for helping the crown prince to deal with the government stuff.

However, Jack is abusing his authority and controlling everything on his hand. The prime minister in the country even has to yield to his control.

He is using his authority and controlling his own nephew at his disposal. Catherine is feeling pity to see her own husband problem.

"What are you thinking?" Arthur is asking her who look in trance lost in her own world.

"I am sorry. What did you ask me?" Catherine is back to reality and looks at her husband.

"What are you thinking until you are flying away from your body?" Arthur is looking gently at her.

"I am thinking about the rumour in the Imperial about your relationship with your uncle. I feel pity for you," Catherine is holding his hand and turns her body to face her husband.

"What do you know? You are only a normal citizen of Imperial city and what is with all the gossip with us as the royal family?" Arthur is trying to find out about all the gossip circulating among their citizens.

"It says that you are an only crown prince in name and do not hold any power in the whole government. Your uncle from the queenside is deciding and ruling the country on behalf of the sick King. It is said also that the King sickness is part of the plot of your uncle," Catherine is looking at her husband who is changing his clothes.

Normally, Sam is helping him to change his clothes. But he told Sam to leave him alone until Arthur is ready to start his daily schedule.

"How can they make out such a story? I am looking so weak under my uncle's palm," Arthur is getting the black-tie when Catherine is standing up to help him with his tie

"Are you really that weak?" Catherine is making his tie with a perfect shape.

"I have to hide my ability otherwise I can't establish my own corporation. He can still play and pretend as the ruler when he can. You do not need to worry because I will protect you now," Arthur is stealing a kiss from his beautiful wife.

Catherine is changing with her funeral dress. She wants to take her parent to their final resting place. She needs to find out the person who dares to kill her parent.

"You do not need to worry. James already finds out about the mastermind behind your parent dies," Arthur is telling his wife regarding her parent death.

"How do you know about my mind?" Catherine is turning her body after putting on her small stud of diamond earrings.

"I just want you to wear this wedding ring so no one can take you away from me," Arthur is placing the wedding ring on her fourth finger and doing the same to her husband.

They are going to the lobby with the tight security detail to the hospital where Harry already takes care of the funeral procession.

They are renting the funeral hall and making the private ceremonies for the deceases Mr and Mrs Gu. No one dares to attend the funeral for them due to the rumour of their death because of the shark loan.

Catherine did not bulge with the rumour and made her parents funeral become so sacral with the prayer from all the priests. The fresh flower makes the small private room become so beautiful until they are going into the cemetery.

Arthur makes her wish come true by burying her parent next to their grandparent's cemetery. The funeral director is present to conduct the burial with the priest.

Catherine is drowning in deep sorrow when her parent starts to go down to the earth. Arthur is comforting his wife during the funeral until it is finished.

They are going back to the hotel when the sun is already backed down and the moon comes out from its resting place. Arthur and Catherine are inside their room to change their funeral clothes when Catherine is feeling to walk into her favourite market.

She is changing into shorts and a jumper with hoodies. Catherine puts her hair up into the messy bun and gets her sling bag.

Arthur is looking at her seriously. She is changing into a younger style of herself. She is using a snickers shoe on her feet.

"May I know about your outfit for dinner today?" Arthur is looking at her.

"I am going out to reminisce about my time with my parent. I am going to the night market for dinner. you do not need to wait for me," Catherine is informing her husband.

"You are not going to take me?" Arthur is asking his wife who decide to forget about their marriage.
