Eiana was stunned. "Princess!!!! " Did my father send him to get me back?!
No.!!! How do I reject such a good looking man when he asks me to go with him? ðŸ˜
Should I actually go back with him?
What are you thinking!!?? Do you even have a back bone? Just a few minutes ago you were throwing off such heavy words like, 'I would never go back until the marriage is canceled.. '
'Father has to bend before my determination... '
And now you are shaken by beauty?!
Since when was I so perverted!!
Eiana strengthened her will. And the next moment, swishhh...
Her sword was in front of Darius, only a few inches away from his throat.
Even Darius was caught off guard. He was stunned for some second, before coming back to his senses.
And he smirked.
'Heh. Seems like my wild kitten is still the same, huh.'
"Hey Princess, it's okay. Cool down. Why do you want to take this lowly life of mine?" 'Since you already have my heart. '
Darius pretended to be shocked, confused, disappointed, and a bit scared all in one go.
His acting would really make even the real deal shy away. That convincing!
Well... Keeping aside his Oscar winning acting, aside for now.
Facing this oh-so pitiful look in front of her, Eiana didn't really have the heart to scare him anymore.
Still,l she didn't move the sword and asked him, " Who are you? Why are you here? Are you following me? "
Darius blinked once and twice, "Once at a time, Princess! And why will I follow you, your highness? " He asked innocently.
And then pretended to guess and asked 'doubtfully," Are you running away from the castle or what?"
Eiana stilled for two seconds when she heard his last question but ignored it for now, before recovering and asking doubtfully, "Were you really not following me? "
" No! " He answered in a heartbeat.
Eiana frowned and asked, " Then how did you know that I am a Princess? I don't think that I show my face that frequently in public, for you to recognize me in an instant! " She said while slowly removing the sword from the front of his throat.
It's true! She never frequents even to the town. So the people won't recognize her in an instant! Also, she is not wearing that expensive and royal clothes right now.
Thinking about this, she eyed him.
When Darius saw Eiana's expressions, he felt like laughing so hard. But he suppressed his urge, very painstakingly.
He saw that she removed her sword, so he stepped forward towards her, and said in a low voice, " Normal people might not know you,u princess... But you do show your face in the Royal Court regularly... "
His voice was really capable to make one's body hairs stand attention!
Eiana who had just relaxed a bit raised her guard up again in an instant! Thank God, that she didn't raise her sword, or Darius wouldn't have his head anymore, as he had walked near her.
"Are.. Are you from the Royal Court? " she asked stammeringly.
Oh no... No.. No.. Please no..
" Yes," Darius answered.
But I didn't say, which Royal Court, I am from.
Eiana's hope went down the drain and she frowned deeper and asked, her voice laced with a hint of anger, " Did my father, the King, send you?"
She felt angry with herself. She didn't want to get caught so early.
Darius raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and said, "No.."
Hearing this, she released a sigh of relief. Huh, at least my father didn't find me yet.
She then walked toward him and asked, " So what were you doing here ?"
Darius gazed at her face to his heart's content before answering mischievously " Milady... You should thank me for saving your life first. "
