She frowned disapprovingly at him. "Well that's not fair to blame me on!"He laughed. "Fair or not, it's still the truth."Suddenly, her frown deepened. "But why are you telling me this?" She questioned suspiciously. "Did something happen?""Well... It might surprise you but... I'm actually here for something else entirely." He admitted sheepishly."You're here for what exactly?""I was just trying to change the subject earlier." He replied nonchalantly. "You wanted to play, remember? So I thought we'd go outside and get us some fresh air.""We have fresh air right here!" She complained, throwing her hands up in exasperation. He smirked as he got up and walked towards her, grabbing both of her hands and holding it tightly within his. "Are you sure?" He inquired with a hint of teasing in his tone, raising her hand to his mouth.She blushed crimson red when she realised that her fingers were still intertwined within his. He placed his lips on her index finger first. After that he p
She shook her head firmly. "No, I wasn't angry. Although I probably would have been a lot angrier if it hadn't been for the fact that I was extremely grateful that you were here. If I could take back the past few hours... I would."He smiled weakly. "I love you, Celine." He whispered tenderly as he wrapped her in his arms."I love you too, Roman." She whispered, nuzzling her nose against his neck.They remained like that for a while until their breakfast arrived, which consisted of pancakes and waffles. The two ate quietly while staring into each other's eyes lovingly. Their breakfast ended soon afterwards, prompting them to return to their rooms. Roman decided to accompany her back to her room since he insisted that he didn't mind accompanying her to her room. He also brought her to where her luggage was located, along with her bag. Once they arrived, he took his suitcase, handing it to her before walking ahead of her to unlock the door. As they entered her room, she glanced around
He couldn't help but wonder why she liked staying at the house so much. Sure, he enjoyed spending time with his friends, but the house was quiet without her. Even though they spent most of the day at her room, it still wasn't quite the same. He missed hearing her laugh. Hell, he missed seeing her smile. But the reason why he had been more open to stay longer was because the first time he saw her face lit up when she saw him, it changed everything.His eyes trailed over to Celine's bedroom door slowly opening, revealing his girlfriend. Her blue eyes scanned the hallway and found him almost instantly.She raised an eyebrow at him. "Where were you?" She asked curiously, taking a couple of steps closer to him.He shrugged, grinning lightly. "Out getting food." He responded simply.She let out a soft sigh, nodding her head in understanding. "Are you excited about tomorrow?" She questioned.He nodded eagerly. "Very much so. I'm looking forward to seeing all my family again. I haven't see
The maid gasped loudly. "My goodness! I didn't try to force you into doing anything!" She exclaimed indignantly."Then why did you call it 'tea with honey'?" She questioned curiously.The maid bit her lip nervously. "It's a nickname." She mumbled shyly.Celine narrowed her eyes at her suspiciously. "A nickname?""Yeah. I've always thought it was funny. I mean it sounds a little weird but it's also cute, right?" She asked with a grin.Ariana stared blankly at her for a moment before bursting out in laughter, shaking her head in amusement."Miss, are you laughing at me?" The maid accused playfully."Of course not! Oh, how could you think that? How could anyone ever imagine that it was possible to be mean to someone just because they have a nickname?" She asked incredulously.The maid giggled softly, nodding her head. "Yes, of course. I apologize." She said sincerely, bowing her head respectfully.Celine waved her hand dismissively. "It's fine, really." She told her sincerely."Is the
Her brows furrowed slightly before realization dawned upon her. "Oh! I'm sorry sir! That's why I didn't wake you up." She apologized sheepishly. "Lady Celine sent me to wake you up." She informed him.Roman frowned. "Did she?""Yes. She told us that Lady Celine has requested that we serve lunch in her room instead." She explained.He pursed his lips in distaste. "Tell her that I am not very hungry." He instructed."Okay." She murmured, turning around to leave.He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed though. It had been a while since he ate something. A part of him was almost tempted to take it from her but he knew that he couldn't risk taking from someone without permission. And considering that the princess was his wife, he could hardly do that. He sighed heavily, lying back down in his bed as he rubbed his temples tiredly.He wondered how long this trip was going to take."Your Majesty, I'm afraid we won't be staying for much longer." An old man announced as he held open the
She glanced over at her siblings, noting their conversation. She wondered why they were talking amongst themselves and not paying attention to the woman in the corner of the room. Then again, it wasn't like any of them could possibly understand what the woman was saying, especially when they weren't paying attention to her.She turned her attention back towards the woman in the corner. Suddenly, she felt herself being pushed forward onto her knees before falling backwards onto the ground with a yelp."Wake up, Your Majesty." The woman ordered harshly as she grabbed Celine by the shoulders.A moment later, the older woman let go of Ariana's shoulders, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her behind her as she made her way towards the staircase. The blonde struggled against her grip, wanting nothing more than to run back to her siblings and demand answers from them, to find out what was going on, but found that she couldn't move. After all, the older woman easily overpowered her. The
"The woman from yesterday." Celine replied hesitantly. "I don't know what she's doing here. I mean... She seems like a noblewoman. Why does she seem so interested in me though?" She trailed off."I guess she just wants to make sure you're okay." Her brother suggested."But why? Doesn't she know that I'm married?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.He hesitated briefly before replying. "Maybe she knows."The ravenette rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Just let's go now.""Wait, I forgot my book!" Her brother exclaimed, running out of the dining hall and disappearing somewhere outside."Prince Roman! You shouldn't have forgotten your book!" His mother called after him, chasing after him quickly."Sorry Mother." He apologized, returning seconds later holding his copy of The Little Prince in his hands.Celine rolled her eyes as she gazed over at the beautiful painting on the wall next to them. "That looks amazing." She commented.He nodded eagerly, taking his seat next to her once again. "Rig
"Thank you." They both responded, bowing their heads back.He then retreated into the shadows as they slowly made their way out the door and made their way towards the throne room.Roman and Celine walked together silently, exchanging glances occasionally. Neither of them uttered a word until they arrived at the doors of the throne room. The two of them entered and bowed before walking towards their respective seats. Once they were seated, they heard footsteps coming towards the both of them. They looked up to see their parents approaching them from behind, smiling at them kindly."Good afternoon Celine." Their mother greeted."Good afternoon." Celine replied simply, returning their smiles."How've you both been?" The queen inquired with a soft smile."We've been well," Roman replied. "Thanks for asking." He added with a slight smirk, receiving a playful glare from his mother. "How are you mom? How's business?" He asked curiously.The queen shrugged. "It's fine." She responded, gl
