The dimples molded on my cheeks upon learning the glorious news.
No one beats the careful plan paired with great execution! I stepped backwards because if someone might see me eavesdrop, missiles of nags would blast my ears afterwards.
I guess sleep was still the best medication for boredom.
“Lady Bethany, what a coincidence, I need your help right now!”
His disheveled hair, heavy breathing, and unbuttoned wet shirt backed up his statement. What happened to this man?
“Of course, this humble lady lends her hand for Your Highness.”
Crown Prince Reyner invited me to his colossal VIP room, decorated with crafted furniture and golden embellishments. Whenever I stepped on the Venetian Red woolen carpet, it was like murdering the beauty of this exquisite material which costed half of my eternal soul.
“Please wait for me, this won’t take long. I prepared everything on the dessert platter for you.&rdqu
“How about me, give me a task!”He even pointed to himself and raised his hand like a student who wanted to get called by his teacher. Do I really need to include him? But he flooded the discussion with his outrageous ideas about this love-friendship operation.“You killed her Father, do you think she would befriend you?”Before the debate ignited, I told them we need to be friendly and cautious about every word that would come out from our mouths because it might scrape her vulnerable heart.Like what I wrote in the script, I greeted Miuerella when I saw her sketching Mingming. She immediately dropped her graphite pencil when she saw me holding a tray.“Beth! Look at our Mingming, isn’t she cute?”I applauded at her artwork, then stroked Mingming’s black fur. Yeah, maybe the other reason Ella empathized with her was because no one wanted an animal that would bring misfortune.
The moment I stepped foot in their room, I asked Uncle whether the reason they summoned me was I pointed out their similarities.Duke Le Merck, you became like a cat who cannot urinate when I stated the fact that crimson eyes are a trait exclusive to the Le Merck family.He praised me for being sharp and requested if I could convince Miuerella in cooperating with the paternity test.Seriously, people in the higher part of the pyramid lived comfortably! They passed their important jobs to other people, even persuading their daughter on me.Of course, I didn’t have a choice or else I won’t get any points. I went back to the roofed deck to check whether the future couple was still alive—what I meant was breathing.Reyner’s gone. Maybe it had to do with the devilish Duke’s affairs since James also mentioned his name.Her dazzling aura caused by the power of love almost killed me.I called her name
I expected he totally forgot about me after the Count’s case. What does he need?~~~“Good Morning, Your Grace. What fine weather do we have, so am I.”“Have you felt good?”“I’m an optimistic person.”“Optimistic, you say?”“I have a visitor today, so I am afraid that I might not fully entertain Your Highness.”Let’s not waste our time over nonsense people.“What’s your favorite color?”“It’s green.”~~~He thanked me before we ended the conversation. Why would he ask for my favorite color?“Beth, should I tell them to slow down?”“We should reach the place before lunchtime, so that’s a big no.”She explained I occasionally shook my head, so I assured if something was wrong with me, I’ll tell her
I sighed at his silly request, which made me want to punch him until his pretty face became distorted, and disposed of his body to the nearest river in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep. But of course, I didn’t want Mingming to be his hostage.I looked at him straight in the eye and said, “Please forgive me as I lead a very busy life. Second, I just met you and haven’t known your name.”He finished the flower arrangements, washed his hands on the sink near the cashier, and suddenly grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it!Once more, these tomato cheeks made an appearance. I can’t see it, but its existence was here. Also, my embarrassed ass made me move my chair as far as I could.“Hehe, Miss Grimaldi, why did you move that far? I couldn’t see your beauty! By the way, the name’s Liam... Liam Wright.”He pretended to cry and wipe his fake tears with a white handkerchie
No, I couldn’t afford to lose a point. I’ll stay in the safe zone.“I would assume you meant organized.”He took another sip of his tea without breaking eye contact between the two of us.“I meant what I said. You have a boxed life and if I were you, I have died out of boredom.”Who said that the Duke of Athenesy knew how to console people?Mingming’s meow was the only sound we heard from the cafe.“Could you please look at the paintings on the walls?”Even if his intention was unclear, those oil paintings hung on the chocolate brown walls depicted how Daria Empire started got my attention.“Now, tell what you noticed.”“The artist used Cubism art style to express his idea. I liked how the painter combined different geometric shapes and color schemes.”He formed an ‘X’ sign by c
She let out a smiley eye while patting our cat’s fur.“It’s been a long time since you visited me, Miss. What made you change your mind?”Her actions are getting weirder that even Frederick asked her aunt if she had eaten something weird.The Countess didn’t answer his question, rather she tried to snatch Mingming, but Frederick hid her inside his cape.Mingming’s action was also in question because instead of hiding, she jumped into her arms.She kissed our baby's nose.“Don’t worry Kiddos, I can’t hurt this being who saved my life.”Before I could raise my voice to protest, they already vanished as their image in my eyes faded.How did a mere kitten who almost buried in snow saved her life?What’s in front of us was the server named Gretel. A sixteen-year-old red-headed gal with freckles on her cheeks
“It is my first time to attend a glamorous ball.”I nodded. I never imagined I would witness the glamour of this lavishing event.Multiple chandeliers on both sides lit the arched hall. They placed the 4 seater purple tables. The unoccupied space in the middle became the stage for the greatest dancers as they meandered along with the tune of soft music played by the Imperial orchestra.Everyone glimmered in their finest outfits when in reality they were walking null values.“Oh, what a splendid night!”Speaking of a null value, she approached us.Her reddish hair resembled a twisted pair of cable I crimped in my networking class, her nose was like an angle bracket when viewed sideways, and the nauseating floral scent of perfume matched with her stenchy personality.Cora Atkinson, Marquess Atkinson’s daughter. The die-hard president of Reyner and Frederick’s
A predator who waited for the time to lure his prey out. Yes, that’s me. I glued my eyes to the 3 people.In this jungle, there were multiple predators which made the hunt challenging.For example, Lady Atkinson. Right now, could not wait to rip out the gentlemen’s flesh. Poor Reyner, look at how droopy his eyes were. He wiped his face with his white handkerchief every minute. Her boldness to link her arms to the crown prince was on another level.Another thing to mention was these low-grade frog princes who assume they would get my best friend’s hands by inviting her to dance made this an impossible task.P.S. some frog princes dared to make a move on me too!I asked Ella to put her hand on her forehead and mumbled gibberish words to me as rejection signal to these frogs. Our Oscar worthy acting came in handy once more.What was the best solution, so the preys would move to my advantage?
