Looking at Lord Benjamin’s silent demeanour, something stabbed her heart and the Princess wiped the tears from her eyes.

“It’s enough that I love you. I will fill the void in your heart gradually if you could just give me a chance. But it seems like I am not worthy of even getting that from you. I understand, I won’t bother you anymore. Don’t worry.”

Lord Benjamin’s heart unexpectedly felt troubled when he heard the Princess’ words. He didn’t expect the headstrong and arrogant girl he knew would actually utter these heartfelt words.

He had seen and bed countless women, and they had all spoken sweet words to him, just to please him. But, never once did he encounter someone who declared her love for him as sincerely and honestly as the royal born seated opposite him.

    Princess Katherine was stunned. Before she could react, Lord Benjamin had pinned her against the wall and kissed her with such a strong force, while his hands held her waist against his body.Her hands, which initially tried to push him away, slowly loosen their resistance and went around his neck to hug him. Her willingness to be held and kissed by him, ignited a strong desire in Lord Benjamin and his kiss became more daring, more bold. Amidst their passionate embrace, Lord Benjamin had totally forgotten the fact that he’s currently in the palace and that the act between him and the Princess was forbidden, and it’s considered causing harm against the royal family.

Lord Benjamin staggered backwards and landed on the ground before he could see his assailant. There, standing before him was a very angry Prince.

Her wedding gown was a mixture of sapphire blue and ivory white, layered with intricate lace, making the dress looked ethereal and unique.

The low cut bodice was in sapphire blue and blended into the ivory white skirt and finally finished with a two metre train in tow. She had worn her hair in a braided bun, entwined with silver leaves, making her looked like a Greek goddess

Wait a minute, is this the hospital?Before she could process her thoughts, the door to the room opened and a young lady dressed like a nurse walked in.
