Chapter 35 Crown prince palace (Part 2)
Phillipsburg became bolder and acted way beyond the etiquette. He touched her skin more than once, cupped her face and made her look at his face and now, he ordered her to talk casually to him.
He also spoke like someone who knew her and acted as if long time friends. Aillenne grew wary at first and Derrick's advice were a constant reminder.
Well Derrick said that the original Aillenne and the prince knew each other since kids, but if they had a good relationship to the extent that we're able to make contact, why did he do that to Aillenne from the original storyline?
Well that's confusing.
"Be careful with your actions towards His Highness, Aillenne..."
"I heard that His Highness is ruthless..."
"Well he's a royal who could do almost everything, besides he's the Crowned Prince."
The voices of the people who told stories about Phillip filled her mind for a while now, however, when Aillenne didn't feel hate or malice, she was absorbed by the conversation.
Aillenne didn't even noticed that Phillipsburg constantly looked at her lips that smiles, laughs and talks when she got comfortable with the conversation. She also didn't notice that they were already close to each other that they almost shared the same breathe.
They talked like long time friends who got separated for a while.
"Let's have lunch now, Linne."
"Yes, Phillip."
The food placed on the table were so many where only two people were going to eat.
'Imperial palace is really on another level. Their customs can be taken advantage in the future.' The sound of money began to clink inside of head.
"Eat a lot Linne."
"Yes, you too."
Anyone who will hear their conversation will surely faint. It is unbelievable that a young girl of a noble house spouted the royalty's name from her mouth without hesitation, but they can call each other's names without worry this time since they are alone.
After some time, the meal ended peacefully. They continued their walk and talk more about various things.
Aillenne can now use what she had learned from the books she read. The prince had a lot of opinion and could surely draw attention. He is also friendly which is contrary to the original and Derrick's words. Of course, she is still vigilant of him for he will be the one to order her execution.
They sat on the bench of the palace greenhouse. It is full of different flowers but Phillipsburg's attention was glued to Aillenne. She made the flowers in the garden pale in comparison.
"Aillenne...do you wear perfume?"
Aillenne pondered. She didn't wear perfume today because the maids used a special soap just for today.
"Nope. I didn't have such. Maybe you smelled the fragrance of flowers from the garden?"
The prince smiled. He already knew that Aillenne's body have a natural and distinct sweet scent. He ordered his aides to find the same scent but nothing came as exact to his description.
"Then, can I have a request? May I smell you?"
"Wha--?" Aillenne was flabbergasted.
What the--- Why would he do that?
Aillenne was never taught on how to respond in this situation. She had just transmigrated about nine months ago, but all she knew came from books. It was only applied for a few times and in this situation, her mind blanked.
The prince proceed to embrace and put his head on Aillenne's neck and sniffed her scent forgetting about consent.
'Ahhhh...so good. My penis hurts. I want to take it out now. Her scent is amazing!'
They stayed in the same position for a while now. The prince sniffed and sniffed her skin as if taking all of her scent.
"Ahhh...Linne's scent is amazing. It is not perfume."
"Well, Derrick also said the same thing. I think it is because of the soap I used."
"Derrick? Your brother Derrick?"
She nodded. She panicked when she saw the prince's expression darkened. Are they not on good terms? Well they might have, Derrick even gave me warning.
"Ah...yes. Of course, he's your brother. Anyway, I would like to have lunch with you next time. Do you mind my invitations?"
"Of course not. Father would be happy."
"And Aillenne's not?"
Aillenne's face reddened and she shook her head to deny his words. But deep in her heart, she didn't enjoy much as she's always on edge with him. I should not be close to him. He's going to kill me someday.
"Father has been thinking of preparing you and the lady from the Count's, as well the lady from the Garwin Kingdom to be my fiancee. I really hope that father will choose you though."
"Y-Your Highness?"
The prince pinched her cheeks.
"Call me by my name. I don't like being called by a modifier. And yes, I sincerely wished Aillenne to be my wife."
What the hell! I'm still 13! What are you talking about? Is the world mad? Children were talking about marriages when they were still 13 and 15? You still have a lot of rice to eat!
