I know he understood what I meant. He pulled me closer to his, grabbing my waist with his arm. No one dared to look at us, they were just on their needs with their heads down.
He took a deep breath and gave me a peck on the lips.
“Go to your room. I’ll follow you. I just need to talk to them.” He said in a serious tone. “Loretta! Take her to her room.” He ordered.
For some reason, my heart pounded loudly. I’m not sure if I felt I was afraid of him or because he said he’ll follow after.
Loretta and the other servants took me back to my bedroom. Inside, they suddenly kneeled again and bowed. I wanted to scream in anger with them. I’m not used to this kind of treatment. I mean, I have maids at home but they never kneel or bow
"Care to explain why you're wearing something like that outside your bedroom? Look at you. It's too short and thin. Those men looked at you like meat." He almost yelled. "I was looking for you. I waited for you to come but you didn't. So I went out to come to you.” I explained. He took a deep breath and I know he was trying to calm himself. “Emily, I left a lot of paperworks when I went to your country. I was trying to finish it today so I could take you out tomorrow. I wanted to tour you around town. I thought we already talked about this.” He said. “You should at least send me a message. I thought you went out and left me here. I was thinking you were meeting some girls and looking for a mistress.” I blurted out which I regretted after.
My heart felt like something was piercing me. This is the first time we argued. He scolded me many times before when we were just Emily and Kyle and I appreciate those days because he wanted me to realize my mistakes. I am stubborn and a spoiled brat, I know that. But he should have at least spoken to me in a gentle voice, not yell at me and shout like I am one of his servants. I am his wife after all.I didn’t realize that tears were falling from my eyes. It was my first night here in a foreign country and I felt so alone. My chest hurts and I felt like I was suffocating. I walked towards my bag and took my phone. Who will I talk to? I don’t want to call my parents. They will get worried.Then I chatted with the girls in our group chat, asking them to video call me. Peggy was the one who called. When I answered, everyone had joined in. Their faces
“Peggy!” Alora called her.‘What? My brother deserves someone better. You were always like that. You’re a spoiled brat and conceited. You are so full of yourself. You say you love him but you always question him. But he never questioned your love for him. He never doubted you. My brother is so stupid to marry you!” Peggy ranted.“Peggy, I don’t think you should be telling Emily that. She was also hurt when Kyle left.” Sophie said in a calm voice. I know she was trying to get in between me and Peggy.“Why shouldn’t I? I am her friend and sister in law. I would tell her what I think of her. The first time he met Kyle, she was annoyed with him. He wasn’t her ideal guy. He was a nerd, old fashioned and poor, yet he dared to talk to her. When he saved her,
Kyle’s room was so big and it’s like a condominium unit. It has a living room, a small kitchen and an office. There was another door which I think is his bedroom.“He’s inside his bedroom, your highness. I will leave you here.” He said then left.The door opened, Kyle went out but he didn’t look at me. It seems he just got out of the shower. His long hair was still dripping and a small towel was in his neck. He walked towards the couch and sat down.“What is it?” He asked, still not looking at me.My chest hurts. I wanted to cry again. “I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?”He sighed. “You know that I could never stay mad at you.” He said in a gentle voic
"Just tell me anything." I said."Hmm. Well, I had some paperworks I needed to sign. Grandpa has a lot of projects ongoing right now including an orphanage but it was delayed due to financial issues. I asked my cousins to check on it and it seems there was a lot of corruption going on with grandpa's project. Then the royal council arrived and asked me about you." He paused and took a deep breath."They were starting to question my marriage to you. You know because of tradition. So when I saw you earlier, I was really surprised. I don't want them to question me further. I'm sorry I took it out on you." He continued."I'm sorry." I whispered."It's fine. It's also my fault for not telling you anything. But believe me, I am planning to tell you about everything." He said.
After the coronation, I flew back to my country and Kyle was left in Flousia. I was sad when I had to go back alone but we agreed to contact each other every day. We chat and text every morning and video call each other every night. It was hard for both of us but it was necessary. He couldn’t leave Flousia because he was just named the crown prince so he has a lot on his shoulders. But despite his busy schedule, he didn’t miss a day calling me. I was also busy with the hospital project but called him every morning and night. We talked about what our day was and sometimes asked each other's opinion about something. Whenever he felt mad at someone, he would call me and rant, then I would calm him down. He said he was thankful for me. Even if we’re apart, I help him with making decisions and would ask me for suggestions.
We arrived at Queen’s to see Peggy and her son. I was so excited to see them. I know Kyle feels the same but he was still mad at her sister for not talking to him.I heard footsteps from the stairs and saw Peggy. I know she was feeling nervous but relieved to see her grandfather in good shape."Margaret!" Grandpa said while giving her a hug.Ever since Peggy went missing, he would always visit her room in the palace every night. He was really worried. Looking at him right now, I know he was happy to see her granddaughter.I walked towards Peggy and hugged her tight."How are you?" I asked."I-I'm okay." She stuttered while glancing at her brother.
I went to our bedroom and prepared the bed. Kyle was with Luke talking about business so I went ahead of him.We always have a place here in Queen’s. It was my bedroom every time I was visiting the country.I sat on the couch and rested my head, thinking.It has been three years already since we became husband and wife. I became the crown princess of Flousia and had some trouble along the way. The people didn’t approve of me at first. They didn’t really like the idea that their future queen came to another country. The royals were against me, especially Kyle’s relatives who wanted the throne for themselves. Kyle did everything to protect me and the throne.After the incident with Prince Phillip, I became more careful with the way I act. I wi
