The Marriage Proposal

Chapter 25

"Reina, how is your journey?" asked the Seventh Prince as he entered the door of the dining room. He sits beside her and hold her hand while smiling warmly.

Reina was stunned and felt goose bumps all over her body. She tried to avoid the Prince hand but he holds her hand even tighter.

"It's wonderful actually we have found the things we are looking for" Reina replied while blushing shyly because of the Seventh Prince actions.

"I'm happy for you. When are we going to have our wedding?" asked the Seventh Prince.

The Duke and his brother Richard almost choke on the food they are eating during that time.

"It's up to you your highness. When do you think is the right time?" Reina said formally. "But for me, I prefer to have our wedding before we attend the Jabalom Kingdoms invitation" she also added.

"I have to make sure not to let you ends up just like in the book or else my family and I will also get killed" Reina said to herself.

"Thank you for thinking about me. I want you to take your rest for now and tomorrow we will be having our wedding" the seventh Prince replied while looking at her with his charming eyes.

Reina was stunned with what she heard "Am I hearing it correctly?" she asked unbelievingly.

"I can't help it. I want to make you mine already" the Seventh Prince said while kissing her hand and looking at her passionately.

Reina didn't know what to do. She felt her hand is being scalded with the man's kiss.

"Are you sure with that?" Reina asked seriously not letting her emotions be seen in her face.

"Seventh Prince, aren't that too fast" Liana said to the Seventh Prince. While signaling secretly to her daughter.

"Ahem! Isn't that too fast, how about after a month from now" the Duke said seriously.

"No need to worry Duke, because I already prepare everything for the wedding" the Seventh Prince replied politely. "I really want to marry her" he also added.

Reina felt overwhelmed with the Seventh Prince decision.

"Father, can we excuse ourselves?" Reina said politely.

"You may!" the Duke replied seriously.

"But father why did they need to be alone? They can talk here" Ricardo said to his father complainingly.

The Duke sigh because of his son's immaturity.

"Richard let them be" the Duke said formally. Although even him he didn't want to let the two be alone but he knows that they have things to talk about on their own.

Reina stand up and dragged the Seventh Prince by the hand. While they are walking the Seventh Prince are looking at the woman who is holding his hand. He smiled secretly and let the woman dragged him continuously. Until they get in Reina's room, she make sure that no one is following them before she closed the door.

"Your highness, are you sure you want us to get married tomorrow?" Reina asked seriously.

"Why not?" the Seventh Prince replied casually as if they are talking about a simple thing and not their wedding.

"To be honest I am not yet ready for this. I still want to have time to rest" Reina said seriously.

The Seventh Prince walked near her and when their distance was already little he gazed at her. Reina avoid his eyes and tried to make some distance with the Seventh Prince but he trapped him with his both hands leaning beside her.

Reina felt goosebumps all over her body with the Seventh Prince actions. "Is this the popular kabedon in my former life" she said to herself.

"Can you please move a little bit?" Reina said awkwardly. She tried to push the Seventh Prince and walk fast on the sofa.

The Seventh Prince smiled at her. He sits in front of the Reina before he continues to talk.

"Why? We are about to get married so this thing is normal" the Seventh Prince replied.

"Your highness, don't forget we are having a contractual marriage" Reina replied while smiling awkwardly.

The Seventh Prince smiled mysteriously.

"But I already prepared everything all you have to do is to agree at my proposal. My wedding gift for you is Crea. I already sign the transfer for that land and after the wedding you will receive all the documents regarding the formal transfer of that land to your name" the Seventh Prince said.

Reina was stunned with what she heard from the Seventh Prince. In the novel the land of Crea was mentioned as one of the largest Diamond mining land. It is the one of the source of great wealth of the Seventh Prince. But one of his people betrayed him and stole the documents about this land and gave it to Prince Helsion. Running away with great wealth was not so bad at all.

Reina sigh "Ok, I will accept your proposal let's get married tomorrow" she answered formally.

The Seventh Prince smiled happily with Reina's response to his proposal.

"You will never regret this decision my lady" the Seventh Prince said then he stands and get Reina's right hand and kissed it.

Reina felt goosebumps all over her body when the Seventh Prince kissed her hand. Her body stiffened. The man in front of her is extremely beautiful which is bad for her heart.

"Good day to you my wife I won't stay long here in your room any longer, so that you can rest" said the Seventh Prince while smiling mischievously.

Reina blushed when she heard what the Seventh Prince said to her. He looked at his disappearing back in front of her. When the door of her room closed she jumped on her bed and put the pillow on her face.

"What the heck is wrong with that guy?" Reina said to herself.

She sighs when she remembered what the Seventh Prince told her. "Does he think that getting married is just a walk in the park" she mumbled to herself.

In the novel her part is just one of those side characters who will highlight the main character.

"I need to find the spy of Prince Helsion if I want to get Crea. I won't let that man to steal something that can make me live comfortably" Reina said to herself before she fell asleep.

Outside Reina's room Prince Hellery smiled dangerously. "My future wife is an outstanding woman" he mumbled to himself before he returned to his room. On his way he accidentally bumped to Leonor.

"I'm sorry your highness I hope you don't mind my rudeness" Leonor said while acting pitifully.

"Oh! It's fine no need to apologize" said the Seventh Prince while smiling wickedly. "If you don't mind I may excuse myself" he added and before Leonor could react the Seventh Prince already disappeared on her sight.

Leonor was stunned because of the Seventh Prince obvious aversion to her.

"Leonor what are you doing there?" asked Liana to her daughter who is standing all alone near Reina's room.

"Mother the Seventh Prince is avoiding me" Leonor replied to her mother with anger and disappointment.

"What are you saying? He is just a mere Prince while your Fiancée is the Crown Prince. So stop concerning yourself with that man whore" Liana replied to her daughter viciously.

"But mother I like him. I want him for myself even if I become the Empress" Leonor replied viciously.

"Forget him Leonor just focus yourself on becoming an Empress of this Empire. Come with me and don't linger around here what if someone saw you hitting on the fiancée of your sister" Liana said to her daughter. "I won't let you be distracted of unnecessary things" Liana mumbled to herself.

The mother and daughter returned to their own room.

In the Seventh Prince room…..

"Prepare everything for tomorrow ceremony. I don't want to see any mistakes" the Seventh Prince said dangerously.

"As you command your highness" replied the two shadow guard.

"How is the preparation?" asked the Seventh Prince.

"We are done with it. But your highness are you sure you want the duke's daughter to be your wife" one of the two shadow guard said.

"It seems you are too bored this past few days, how about going back in the training site after my wedding tomorrow?" replied the Seventh Prince grimly to his two subordinate.

"This subordinate asked forgiveness to the master by overstepping my bounds to master's affair" replied the shadow guard respectfully.

"My future wife already agreed to marry me tomorrow" the Seventh Prince added.

"By the way master the Duke's Second Wife and stepdaughter is planning to secure the position of Crown Princess. They are also the one responsible in harming the future madam in the past. Here is the complete report on the things that they did to her. The most horrible thing that they did is they poisoned her tea when she attend the tea party that your sister held in the Palace Garden" the shadow guard gave the Seventh Prince a brown envelope.
