"I'm… I'm.. sorry" She uttered gently, her cheek red. She didn't understand why every contact with Ace recently made her blushed.
Ace was surprised when she felt on him but was relieved that his body has slowed her shock. His cheek was a little red too, his surprise expression then turned to a grin.
"Thanks to my body" he said proudly. "And now what ? You don't want to get up from my body?" He scoffed.
She rolled her eyes , the blushing still on her face, stood up and then wiped the imaginary dirts on her clothes.
"Stop saying nonsense!" She said. "You were just at the right place" she stopped wiping her dress.
He stood up with a smirk on his lips.
"Let's returned inside" he turned and started walking not waiting for her to respond and argue.
'I hate when he's having this smile, as if he has won' she thought furious because she had nothing to say.
"Wait for me!" She ran to catch up beside him.

In her room , she had received the same message from Eva hoping that she will come to the chalet. Eva knew that they were in Nightinon but she didn't know the reason of their stay there.
Anber-ruby wanted to prepare for the sojourn of 1week in the chalet but then she realized that her dresses are not here.
"How will I do now?" She frowned but then her face light up .
"I will text to Madeleine , she will bring for me the necessary clothing" she smiled and directly she took the phone and texted, it hasn't last for long she received a reply from her saying that she would come tomorrow.
Ace entered in the room with her plate of food with a glass of juice also.
"I can see that you don't have the manner of knocking before entering in someone's room" she said nonchalantly.
"Should I?" He asked not really caring of her complain , moving toward her with the plate of food.
She rolled her eyes to his respond. Ace placed the plate on the bed just beside her. He took the spoon and straighten it to her mouth.
"Say ahhhhh"
"I'm not a baby, I can feed myself. Ever since we have been here, you have been feeding me as if I was disabled" she felt very embarrassed at his attitude.
"Stop complaining and open your mouth. Plus, aren't you glad that a prince like me feeds you?"
The spoon was near her mouth, Ace was forcing her to open her mouth with the help of the spoon. She finally opened it and allowed the food to enter in her mouth.
During her 'feeding time' she has been wondering on Ace attitude and that brought her to the conversation that she had with Marie about the prince attitude.
"He's caring with us" it echoed in her head.
Has she judged him without really knowing him?. He have been very caring, helpful and warm with her these days, she have seen a different face of him, the aloof, indifferent and cold prince has gone for some days.
She finished her food with the help of Ace.
"Thank you"
He stood up with the plate .
"Now sleep" he said calmly but it almost sound as an ordered.
He off the light and get out. She stood on her bed, her eyes blinking confused.
"He's treating me as an 3years old child" she said but finally slept immediately. She was tired.

The next day, Madeleine arrived early. She was so happy to see the princess.
"My princess" her smiled faded when she saw the bandage on her arm. The one on her cheek has been removed.
"What happened to you?" She asked worried as she took her arm to see it better.
"Nothing, nothing Madeleine" amber-ruby had a reassuring smile. "I just fell down" she added.
"I Hope it's nothing serious?" She asked
Amber-ruby nodded.
"Then okay! That's what you asked" she placed the bag on the bed.
"How's the king and the queen?"
"Great! The king is feeling much better. He's already going out, taking his functions slowly"
"I'm glad to here that! After my return from the chalet, I will spend more time with him"
"Talking of the chalet, my princess. I hope you will get close to Sir Duncan. He's you futur husband remember"
Amber-ruby smiled. "If he's there then I will try"
"I have to go my princess. I told that I wouldn't last for long. Good bye" she hugged her and then went out.
After the leaving of Madeleine. Amber-ruby scrolled a little bit in the mansion. She heard a loud 'thud sound' coming from the office, she directed herself there.
"What's wrong?" She opened the door brusquely.
She saw Ace near the wall, he was the one that hit the wall with force. His phalanges with blood. Amber-ruby saw it and immediately directed toward him, holding his hand.
"Ace! You're bleeding" she said with concern. She removed a handkerchief from her pocket and pressed it on Ace's right hand. The act of Amber-ruby leave a surprise expression on his face but it didn't last for long.
"Why are you so angry?" She asked
Owen was with him in the office, he replied.
"We're just from learning that Garyl seized two companies of Ace that are outside of the kingdom"
"What?!!"
"That Prick took it." Ace said furiously.
"I told you about that Ace…" Amber-ruby said
"I didn't know that he was already that far. When I think that I have an advance on him that asshole his almost 3 steps further from me" Ace cursed.
"I have to go there !" He added
"And for the chalet?" She asked sadly.
He looked at her.
"I will not go again but you can go without me"
"No!" She said abruptly.
"You really wanted to go there why are you refusing?"
"If you're not going then I rather stay here" she said staring him firmly.
Ace was surprised and confused. He wasn't understanding why she wouldn't go there meanwhile she has been excited of going there and now she is saying that she will not go.
'How stubborn is this girl' he thought
"If you want your highness, I can go for you" Owen entered in their discussion.
They both turned to his direction.
"I don't have any affairs for the moment , I can go , I will inform you of the situation. If there's anything I can't handle I will tell you and you will com and join me" he said.
"You two should go for your sojourn in the chalet" he said with a smile.
