CHAPTER 6: The fake prince is after me

I turned back to the fake crown prince. I ticked my tongue and bowed my head.

"Greetings to the imperial sun of Carmen. What has brought you here, Your Majesty? Why aren't you attending the party? The party was not over?"

"Yeah, I know. But I didn't have the chance to dance with a really beautiful lady today, so I thought of meeting you privately," he said.

The more I look at him, the more I feel like puking my guts out. Anyone would know he was drunk because he reeked of alcohol.

Why do these shitty things happen to me? Is my fate to die in this piece of shit's hand. Ugh, the thought of it, itself makes my stomach roll and churn.

"Your Majesty, you better go back and take some rest, for I am also going back to my chamber. So I hope you excuse me, I will be going now. Good day," I said and left without turning back.

Right then he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him, "I never said you could go? Stay here, we have a lot to talk about," he said.

"Your majesty, please let go of my hand, if you don't, I might have to take a harsher method to make you," I said.

I could have hurt him but now was not the time there were too many royal guards all around this place and I didn't want to cause a scene, so I hit his hand away.

"Why you! Who do you think you are, to just disobey a royal order!" he shouted.

At that moment I lost it, I drew out my dagger which was hidden behind a long flowy skirt, and raised it at him. I was in a position to charge at any time, it felt like that was that right, to take revenge, to kill him with my own hands. I was intoxicated with revenge in my mind and had my mind set on my target.

As I moved forward, the prince was knocked out on the ground, when he fell a tall person wearing a mask came up to me. He looked oddly familiar.

"Get out of my way!"

"Calm down, no matter what you do, he is still the crown prince, and you will get severe punishment if you are found in an attempt to murder." Said the man in the mask.

With this, I came back to my senses. Now my hand was pointing and a different target.

"How do I know if you are not on the crown prince's side? But before you ask that, who did you come here?"

"Well, I came from the front door to the garden, and if I was on the prince's side I wouldn't have knocked him out so recklessly, I would have knocked you out instead, right?" he said.

Well, he was right, but I didn't lower my guard down.

"Well, what are we going to do now?"

"About what? Him? Leave him, the guards will just think he got drunk and passed out,"

I giggled and looked at him.

"Hah! So, I never got to know your name? I even saw you at the coffee shop," I said.

He looked hesitant, and said, "My name is Damian Maxford, from the Maxford family, It is a pleasure to meet you, my lady"

He was quite a charm, and it felt like I gave in to him.

"Well, I'm charmed. I am Amora Erwin, from the Erwin duchy, I hope we get along," I said.

For some reason, he felt a little too familiar, in a weird way. Like he moved my heart a little. But then I remembered, I was not going to let any small feeling get in my way.

"We then, Sir, I shall see you around. Good night," I said and turned around.
