Alice hastily turned around. She was surprised to find that she was feeling so anxious and shy in the presence of a stranger. It was not her usual behavior. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. In addition, she was the epitome of beauty, and countless outstanding men had obsessed over her since she was young. Still, she had never felt as anxious in the presence of any man as she was at that moment.She was only in the presence of a stranger from Rheasia, yet she was so anxious and shy, which was truly unusual for her. She did not think that she would fall for the Rheasian next to her at first sight. She thought it was just because she was mentally exhausted after hiding from her family’s bodyguards for so long. She assured herself that had to be the case. Even as she explained her feelings away to herself, she could not keep glancing at Zayn. She could feel the ineffable quality to Zayn that made her want to get close to him. She had never encountered another man who
It was so embarrassing!Her face blushed. Alice felt even more dejected as she watched Zayn’s silhouette move further and further away until he vanished into the crowd and she could not see him anymore. Meanwhile, a bodyguard walked over from the back and said softly with a respectful posture, “Ms. Alice, you’re about to marry Prince William, so you can’t have ideas about other men anymore.”She bit her lower lip tightly upon hearing the bodyguard’s remark, sorrow and disappointment flashing past her eyes. Yes, she would be marrying Prince William sooner or later so how could she ask for another man’s number?Perhaps, she would not even have the right to speak to another stranger after she married into the royal family. The friends around her envied her noble status and influential family since she was young and they were jealous of her being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but who could understand her sorrow?She was just a pitiful person with her entire life predet
However, his displeased expression vanished soon enough. He had to uphold his image as the honorable Prince William in public because it would be bad for the people to notice otherwise. Most importantly, he wanted to marry Alice, so he could not allow himself to leave an unfavorable impression on her. Nevertheless, she noticed the flash of grimness in his expression, and it gave her an even worse impression of him. Still, Alice did not show it. She merely felt the sadness in her heart and thought about how this was the man that she would have to marry. In truth, Prince William was an outstanding man, but she did not have any feelings for him. Many people in the airport were envious of her because of Prince William’s grand welcoming gesture, the women especially. A few luxury cars were parked by the side of the road after they walked out of the airport in an elegant manner, a display of Prince William’s nobility. Prince William’s expression was filled with pride. He enjo
She said it in a hateful tone that stunned Prince William while simultaneously stirred up rage in his heart!How dare that b*tch embarrass him in the presence of an outsider! She was despicable!Moreover, the outsider was a lowly Rheasian which displeased him even more. “That’s not what I’m trying to say, Alice.” Prince William shook his head and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to hold Alice and lead her away. Alice managed to dodge his hand and looked at Zayn longingly once again while she said, “We have a car, Zayn. Why don’t we give you a ride?”Zayn was planning on rejecting Alice’s enthusiastic offer. He was not blind, so he could tell that the relationship between Alice and Prince William was not simple as it seemed. Moreover, it was apparent that Prince William harbored hostility toward him. He was not scared, but he was in Yingland on official business and did not wish to waste time on a silly affair like thi
However, Zayn was still smiling as if he had not noticed Prince William’s threat. Damn it!Prince William clenched his teeth tightly and felt his anger and disgust toward Zayn reach their peak. In fact, he wanted to shed all pretences of cordiality that instant so he could order the bodyguards to beat up Zayn ferociously. He understood Alice’s personality well enough to know that she was a proud, cold woman who had never been so eagerly attentive and hospitable to a man. Hence, he was certain that there was something inappropriate between Alice and Zayn. Alice was his fiancee, yet she had actually engaged in that form of relationship with a lowly Rheasian. He was furious at the thought of this and his expression was savage. He was the noble prince of Yingland!Meanwhile, Zayn said, “Ms. Alice, it seems that your boyfriend is not very fond of me. It’s best for me not to bother you anymore. I’ll be fine hailing a taxi.”Zayn did not think too much into it. Alice was just a p
It sounded like Zayn was bluffing. Could it be that Zayn was unaware that the Queen was the most respectable figure in Yingland and the icon of the nation who countless people wanted to meet but could not?Prince William could not keep himself from chuckling. “I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you earlier. Who did you say you’re here to meet again?”Zayn darted a look at him and said nonchalantly, “Your grandmother.”Alice smirked a little upon hearing Zayn’s remark. Prince William shook his head and assumed that Zayn was mentally if he had come to Yingland to meet the Queen. “I’m sorry but you might not be able to meet Her Majesty. Her Majesty lives in the seclusion of her home and barely leaves the house, so she won’t be meeting with ordinary people,” Prince William remarked sarcastically. He was mocking Zayn for not being qualified to meet the Queen. Actually, it was not really mockery because it was the truth. Did Zayn think that he could just walk into a room and meet the Queen?Za
The more Prince William interacted with Zayn, the more he found him to be a fool. He had to be an idiot to be making such claims. He was the Prince of Yingland, the beloved grandson of the Queen. Who in all of Yingland would be so senseless to try to assassinate him?He had been living in Yingland for a long time, yet no one had ever attempted to assassinate him. No one did it in the past and no one would do it in the future either. Soon, Prince William found the loophole and asked, “Since you know that assassins are targeting us, why did you still get into the same car as us? Aren’t you scared of dying?”Indeed, it did not make sense. Since Zayn was aware that they were already targeted by the assassins, why did he still get into the car with them? Could it be that Zayn was not afraid to die? It could not be explained. Alice looked at Zayn out of curiosity and wondered how he would answer the question. Zayn did not express any guilt or fear. He remained as nonchalant as befo
He would look for the Queen himself after he was done protecting Alice. He believed that the Queen of Yingland would agree to meet him in view of his capability. Prince William assumed that Zayn’s lack of response was out of guilt, so he could not stop himself from expressing his pride. He snuck a glance at Alice and found that she was looking at Zayn as kindly as she was before. He became even more delighted. Meanwhile, Zayn suddenly sensed something and sat up straight while he said to the driver, “Take the left! Don’t turn right!”Zayn spoke so suddenly that he startled the driver. The driver turned the steering wheel so swiftly that the car driving steadily on the road swayed violently. As a result, Prince William and Alice almost lost their balance. Prince William had a glass of red wine in his hand at the time. The wine spilled onto his breeches while the car was swaying, infuriating him so much that he lost his temper. “Impudent Rheasian!”Alice furrowed her brows as
