The next day, just like what I had expected rumors around the whole empire and palace about me dating Calix spread like crazy. Some newspaper publisher even published and released a couple of news paper for it as it is a good topic for every noble out there who's looking for a spice in their boring life. But actually, that's not what worries me the most. In fact, I didn't care that much about it than what I had initially expected. As you know, i have always been concious of what others may thinking of me. And yes, I value my image in the public more than anyone else
But surprisingly, I seem to not to care about their opinions too much. Maybe because dad and Calix's fight worried me even more? Seeing how dad reacted yesterday is still lingering around my memory and so, I was really worried about how he may react now. Really.. He may kill Calix.
And since the true story didn't unfold the way it should be, Calix's strength is unknown for me. I don't know whether he's weak
"So what happened for you to end up like that?" I asked Calix as I gebtly wiped his bruise. Dad and him just got out of the training grounds and as soon as they did, Calix directly went here with a faint smile on him and is full of bruises. Fortunately, it's not that and life threatening so I volunteered to help him saNitize and put some cure in it. Of course, as soon as I asked him, I already figured out the answer sincr dad has no bruise at all but I want to hear the answer coming exactly from his mouth.'He must have beaten up by dad'"Well, as you can see. Your dad didn't let me off easily. He constany attacked me like as if it's a real fight so I can't help but get some bruises" He scratched the back of his head as he said these words. That confirmed my speculation. He was indeed beaten up by my father but really... I didn't expected him to get beaten up one sidedly even though he's not as strong as in the novel, he's still the male lead but I guess he still needs
Days passed after finally being in a relationship together and in that short span of time, Calix did nothing but to go in my palace to 'have some skinship'. Of course, he also worked but he took all his documents and paper works om my palace just so he can watch me while working as well. And I obviously found it cringey and cheesy but that's just him so we really spent time with each other a lit to the point that dad summoned me to his palace to make Calix leave but since 'my boyfriend'is quite stubborn, he didn't listened a word and instead, he just just continued going to my palace everyday.By those days, I also made syre to read every letters that is coming everyday while also sending them some good, friendly but limited information letters to not to seem rude. I also explained how sick I had become so they won't feel bad that I sent their replies late. As what I had said last time as well, I made sure to prioritize the duchess's letter since he's Calix mother. I juamat g
"Your highness, it's now time to go to the undersground prison" A voice from outside said. Of course, as soon as we geard it, we stopped cuddling since I had to go somewhere."Are you sure you wanted to go there? Just entrust everything to me, I'll make that Viola suffer no matter what for putting your life at risk" he said while looking into My eyes.We are talking about the marquis who boldly tried to poison me on my own palace. He was captured by dad and is currently suffering the hardest and the most painful torture around the continent.I heard he even tried to escape last night with the help of his subordinate which was not captured but was captured by my dad's knight.'That's seriously pointless. No matter how much he try to escape from the prison, that won't do. After all, dad placed a lot of knights just to guard his prison.'He should give up or dad might really torture him in a harder way'"I have to do this myself, please d
"See? I told you that I should just take care of that guy for you but still, you pushed yourself up" Calix said when he noticed my pale complexion. Seriously, that's one of the most disgusting sight I have ever seen and ever smell. Well, not like I have killed anyone in my past life or now so obviously, the smell of blood like tha is not familiar with me"Stop, I am already feeling bad enough" I said and raised my hand to gesture 'Stop nagging'"Sorry, I just want you to rely on me. I don't want you to tire yourself again" He said back as he gently lean his hand on my back to assist me.Something in my heart tickled again as I hear his concern around my heart.'Do I deserve this much treatment?'"Do you want to puke? Just tell me okay?"'Well, there's no point in thinkimg about it anyway'After saying that, we continued walking in silent aince I obviously does
As we're doing that, I felt the door of my room opening so I unconsciously look at it and there, my lady in waiting is looking at us with a surprised face. She's holding a one glass water jyst like what I had asked for. Suddenly, I came back to a realization that we were seen by other people while kissing. Not to mentiom, my position at this moment is just too awkward. And so, I pushed him forcefully. Of course, he didn't even bulged which is to be expected already. After all, he's way too strong for me and so, I gestures him to look at the door as soon as we parted our lips.'D*mn! How the hell am I supposed to get out of this situation?'As I was thinking of how should I explain this to my lady in waiting, she hurriedly closed the door aftee coming back to her senses while apologizing like as if she disturbed us while doing some 'couple thing' Well, it's true that we're really dping some couple thing but why does she have to act like that? It made me even
Next morning, I had to finally go to some social gatherings along with Calix. As you know, it is bad for us to not to attend one for a long time since this can also be our force. Also, we need to confirm that we are indeed in a relationship already. After all, it's already a week since the rumor started so the nobles are now probably in uproar not knowing what to believe so finally, I asked my maid to find the most prominent invitation and social gathering for me. Of course, without even going there yet, I can already imagine how tired will I become after this event.Obviously, they will constantly ask me about Calix's and I's relationship. They will ask when it started, how it made our hearts flutter. I bet they will also mention that tyey also expected us to be together since some rumors are aready floating around the empire about me and Calix before we ecen became in a relationship. I remember before how conscious I am by those words since I am really afraid that once Cali
As we sat to the carriage, he assisted me and sat beside me as well. Normally, he would have to sit to the front of me to be balance but he insisted so I wasn't able to say anything more aside from the word, 'Fine'. There, we sat comfortable while he just gently hugged me. Of course, he didn't hugged me so tightly because my gown will get wrinkled and messy.As usual, as our carriage pass through the capital where commoner are mostly living, they all made a fuss seeing my crest on the carriage while saying that the crown princess finally decided to get out. Some are even wondering wherr I am going after a recuperation after recovering from the poison that Marquis Viola made me drink.'They are swarming again outside'But unlike before, I didn't had the courage to open the window because of how this guy is currently clinging on me. Obviously, everyone are aware that we are now finally in a relationship but I son't want them to see our sight clinging to each other
She's lying on the aide and had so much blood in her head. If course, I know that shevs still breathing as she looked at us shocked. There, she crawled toward Calix but Calix just pointed his sword to her with a sharp glare while she gave him a look of a betray"Why?! I am the heroine! I am the female lead!" she said crazily while shouting. In resukt, the nobles who are hesitating to look at this side when the barrier got ruined by Calix, couragely looked inside the veranda where angelina is acting like a crazy person. Obviousky, they are more than disgusted by her actions as they looked at her with annoyance but I am feeling different.It's me who caused her to become like this and I know that myself that's why I can't helo but look down in tears. She became crazy because I stole what sheva supposed to have. She probably endured being harassed just so in the end she could have a happy ending just like what the book says but she realized as soon as I came to the pictur
