"Don't. Don't go" He said pulling me and whispered to my ears.
His breathe,
I can feel his breathe touching my earlobes.
My body trembled due to the ticklish sensation that his breathe gave me
'W-what is with him?'
The nobles are watching me and we probably looked like we're kissing right now, Calix bending his head to level of mine while dancing and me who is almost touching his skin
I want to pull myself from him right now but, I--
I don't know I just can't.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He asked still not having any distance between us
"U - uh, w - well n - not really b-but --"
He cut off my words and whispered to my my ears.
Again, I felt the warm air from his mouth touched my nape and earlobe
"Then it's good" without saying anything, I followed his lead and continued dancing
'My plan of not being entangled with him with any rumors is now ruined'
It is partly my fault for not liv
"Then, I'll take my leave your highness" She then bowed and left usIn the end, she withrew her sharp tounge and left to avoid any more embarassments. Now, she probably realized what kind of a princess I am'Serves you right'Anyway, just like what I expected, ladies soon started to talk about lady Falledis's action."Lady Falledis was really rude a while ago" lady Gomez first opened the topic and the other noble ladies followed her making them criticize her"Yeah, I can't believe that dhe would try to disrespect her highness infront of everyone""Even just for a second, we saw how much she glared at you, your highness" one of the ladies looked at me with a concerbed look on her"And I also noticed how she didn't bowed infront of her highness when she first greeted her. How vulgar"I looked at the faces of the noble ladies while smiling bright to assure them that it's alrightThey are probably trying to gain something in
"As expected, I'm annoyed just by seeing this guy" Calix just stood beside me as my father told sh*ts about him"Daddy, don't you think these nobles are pale?" I aaid changing the subject into those nobles who are looking at my father with a pale skin.They probably hoped that father won't attend my debutante' so that they could try whether I am a sharp princess or just an idiot one who grew up as a loved princess.Their plans, I can see it allIf I am a wise princess, they would either decide to follow me and stab me soon or they'll try to ruin me before I even founded my force. And if I am an idiot princess, they would try to control me to monopoly everything that I have and the things that I'll have soon like 'the throne', 'imperial family's wealth and 'imperial's property'.Too bad though, because I am a cunning princess.And I don't plan on being a someone who could be stabbed in the back and a someone who's too idiot to understan
After dancing for a while, we finally finished and just like a while ago when I danced with Calix, nobles eyes are following usIt's not a problem to me, actually this is better so that what happened on my dance with Calix will be wiped off from their mindsBut of course, I don't wanna be so clingy just for the sake of wiping those rumors so I just talk to sir Batria in a formal yet not awkward way"I didn't know that yoir highness is a great dancer" He smiled michievously when he said these words'Oh my, that's a smile that I'm quite familiar at. The cassanova smile'I've encountered a lot of people like that on my past life and guess what? They are all a piece of bagI may be an orphan before, but I am still a someone who has a little pretty face so a lot of man courted me before. Of course, Princess Lalaine's beauty is on another level to the point that my face on my past life can't be comparedI plastered a gorgeous grin on my lip
After feeling the chilly atmosphere, sir Batrias decided to do something right"Then, I'll be off now your highness. It's nice meeting you" Sir Batrias then held my hand and kissed the back of my handHe also threw a glance toward Calix only to see him looking at him furiously.'This guy is really something. He kept provoking Calix even though he knew very well that this guy is an aura user and he can die any momentIf his provocations continued, his neck won't be intact anymore later on"Good to hear, Sir Batrias" I kindly gave him my bright smile pretending not to see Calix who's currently raging in madness'Please hold yourself back, Calix'I sighed inwardly and hoped that he could last until the end of sir Batrias's provocationWith everyone watching us, sir Batria left our place without any shame. Seems like he's used to this kind of attention since he have a realky outstanding appearance. I bet a lot of girl
The moment my dad asked Calix, I shivered in coldnessWhat a cold atmosphere.My dad's question is seriously offending specially for Calix who doesn't feel those attractions toward me so of course the atmosphere would be cold.'I am embarassed that my daddt gd to ask him about that but I can't just openly refuse my father's speculations'I didn't even attempted to speak and just let them have a conversation but unfortunately, Calix didn't answered him and instead, he just stared at my father in a quite rude wayBut for me who's used to him acting this way, it's a not a rude act.But daddy is not used to his action so I immediately covered for him,Knowing dad, the moment he find displeasure on his stares, he wouldn't think twice to slash his head"Ah, D-dad! It's not like that, we were just friends" I stuttered at first but continued what I had to say to lighten the mood but that d*mn Calix just went off and said tgis right aft
With the nobles eyes on us, I spoke with him shortly and greeted the girls whom I had a tea time party last time and the one who warned me about Lady FalledisThe ball goes on for more hours but due to my father's advice to just go and rest after he saw me so exhausted."Then, let's go now together daddy" I said suggesting that wes hould go back together because after all, I know dad is alreadt bored enough to die in this hallHe then agreed on my suggestion and escorted me until we arrived at his office leaving Calix and other debutants on the hall. There, I rested at daddy's soft couch."Why don't you just directly go to our palace and rest there properly?" I just shrugged my shoulders and didn't bother to answer him"Look at you, so messed up"I actually wanted to talk to him about something that I received 2 days ago"U-uh daddy," he looked at me when he heard me talk"Actually, I received a letter from uncle last time and
"You're highness, his majesty is looking for you" As soon as the suns got up, a nagging voice woke me up from sleepinh peacefully"Your highness, it's an urgent call from his majesty so you really have to wake up and prepare as soon as possibleNot opening my eyes on her first attempt, she once again nagged me in a quite desperate voice so I had no choice but to open my eyes because I don't, I feel like she'll cry and would say the same thing over and over."Why is he calling me?" I asked the lady in waiting who went to wake me up with a slight frown on my forehead"H-he didn't mentioned why b-but he said that it's urgent" she said while stuttering, I was kind of in awe about this early ruckus in the morning. He didn't even said the reason why."Hah" I sighed in frustration and got up from my bed to go to my father's palaceSeeing that I am not in good mood the maids and lady in waiting of mine mived fast but carefully afraid of ma
I was about to give up the idea of going to my uncle's country, but then he suddenly uttered something strange. Not only that, I was also kind of surprises when he said something again."Then, then go" My eyes rounded because of the shock I just felt.Unconsciously, I happily got up from my seat and went to hug daddy'I can't believe it!'Still hugging me, he sighed heavily"Hah"Do I look like a kid right now? Being so excited in a trip.I am actually not looking forward to the idea of going to another country and have a great vacation. It's just that I wanted to take a breath from all of the stress that I am currently experiencing in this empire.'I wonder, how will they react if they found out that I'll be going to my uncle's country'well not like it matters as long as my father gave a permission to go there"I seriously don't want to let you go to a dangerous place like that country""Come on, you alre
