Semua Bab The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid: Bab 171 - Bab 180

The door opened and then closed firmly after her and I was left all alone in my room again. Silence became my only companion and before I knew it, it was already quite late in the night. My body still felt sore, but I felt much better. Surprisingly, it was difficult for me to fall asleep although I was supposed to be exhausted and in need of rest and I blamed it on the day-time nap that I shared with Prince Leonard before we left the hotel to head back to the palace. As I laid alone on my bed with the lights switched off my mind drifted to think of Prince Leonard again. I wonder when I’ll get to see him again…That night, I dreamt of something quite strange. I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep but I wouldn’t be surprised had I dreamt of Prince Leonard. After all, it seemed like my mind had been filled with nothing but him for a long while now. That was precisely why I was quite surprised when I dreamt of a very large black wolf with mesmerizing blue eyes that sparked like a fr

“That just sounds sick…” Leonard spat. “How long are you going to stay away from her?” Darius asked. “You don’t have to worry so much about her. I already sent her a gift that I’m sure that she would like,” Leonard replied to get his brother off his case. “Oh, a gift?” Darius said with pleasant surprise as his grey eyes lit up. “Yes, a gift. So, you can stop nagging me about Mila now. By the way, can you help me out with my work, brother?” Leonard asked sarcastically. “I’m always helping you and covering for you,” Darius said with a hint of complaint.“If you don’t want me to be king, you don’t have to…” Leonard said with a careless shrug.“Fine. I’ll take some tasks off of your hands. I have a trip coming up, so you’ll have to deal with your own work while I’m away,” Darius said as he finally gave in. “Where are you going?” Leonard asked with some surprise. “Abroad. Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you alone here to suffer while I go on holiday. It’s an official visit,” Darius exp

“Obviously, I am not going to be your teacher for everything. In fact, I can only teach you the expectations of an honorable maiden and some other basic skills. For the other lessons that you will be required to attend, there will be specialized teachers that will help guide you. Is that clear?” Madame asked as she started her lecture. “Yes, Madame…” I replied. “Good. During the next few months, you will be expected to study economics, history, international politics, etiquette, and dance. Are there any topics that you are already familiar with?” she said before narrowing her eyes a little at me. Apart from cleaning and cooking, I doubt I could be called familiar with anything else. I shook my head to reply to her question.“I expected that, and I instructed all your teachers to start from the very basics in your education. A schedule has been prepared for you and you are to follow it strictly, do you understand?” she asked again.“Yes, I understand,” I replied as expected.“You wi

“What do you mean?” I asked curiously. How can the textbook be wrong?“Well, how do I put this? Even if history did already take place, books and lessons about history are still open to many interpretations and representation…” the prince explained. I cocked my head to the side in slight confusion because I didn’t quite get what he was talking about. What does he mean by history being interpreted and represented differently? “Let me try that again. There’s a staying that history is written by the winners, right? Have you heard that before?” he asked. “No…” I mumbled. “Basically, what that means is that the person who has the right to write these history books can basically write whatever they want in it. They can tell their version of the story in the way that they want it to be told. People like you, the readers, who don’t know anything will have no choice but to believe that it is true,” Prince Leonard explained before he grinned at me. “So, this book isn’t telling the truth a

That was easy for him to say…How am I supposed to concentrate when I’m sitting on his lap and he’s basically breathing behind my ear? My entire body stiffened when he carried me against his body and sat down in his seat again, this time with me on his lap. Behind held in his arms while sitting on his lap made me very aware of our size difference. His arms pulled me back closer against his body until I felt the heat of his body against my back. He left one arm around my waist to keep me in place before his other hand reached out to pull the book closer to us on the table. “You’re so small, you’re like a doll…” he commented before he chuckled a little close to my ear. Sometimes it felt like he could tell what I was thinking although I knew that he couldn’t read my mind. “Take a look at this map, Mila,” he said softly. I was too aware of how close he was to me and because of that I found it very hard to concentrate. I tried my best to focus on the map that he was showing me. “This
