"Ahhhgg. What in the..... I had a nightmare today's as well and it was him again....I saw that man again. Who in the world is he and why does he keep appearing in my dreams?. Aaaghhhh I can't even sleep in peace!.
The door opened
"Ahh, Madam your awake. Good Morning. Are you ready for going out today?."
"Good Morning Emily, huhh....going out? Where?".
"Going out with His Highness".
"With Allen. Oh yeah we need to buy things for engagement ceremony".
"Yes, so Madam what do you want to wear today?.
"Anything would work. But don't let it be extravagant please".
"Yes..yes. Now then let's take a bath"
I started to get ready, people don't know how much I love a hot bath and the fact Emily massages me as well. I ate my breakfast and then got dressed up. They said that Lucas was busy in studying for the entrance exam, so I didn't disturb him. I went to Allen's office, it was quite surprising Cedric isn't here to escort me. I reached his office and opened the door without getting his permission.
"Hello Allen, hello Cedric. Good Morning".
"Ahh Good Morning Madam".
And Allen as usual didn't speak a word he just nodded. I don't know for how much longer I need to put an act of being a sweet girl. Maybe until we get a divorce.
"Well then Allen are you ready to go out".
"Go out?".
Don't tell me this jerk forgot it as well.
"Y..yess. You told me that we'll go out to prepare for our engagement ceremony".
"Hmm, I see".
"Well, you look rather packed up and busy for work. We can always go some oth-e..
"Cedric, prepare the carriage. I'll be going out today".
"Yes, Your Highness."
This jerk! he cutted me in between again.
"Allen are you sure it's okay to go out you have lot's of work".
"Little Squirrel. Stop it".
"Huhh?. Stop what".
"The act your putting on."
"I'm not putting on any act. Instead of me you should stop."
"Stop?"
"Yeah. Stop calling me little squirrel".
"I like it so I'll call you that".
"Well I don't!".
"Your feelings don't matter or rather than that do you prefer calling you Honey, or maybe Darling?."
My heart skipped a beat and my whole face turned red. I was blushing too hard and I tried to control my expression but couldn't. Damn this sly fox.
"Little squirrel, why are you blushing. Do you want me to call you Honey?. He said it with his evil smirk again. The only expression he shows me is that evil smile. What the heck!.
"Huhh what now eww, don't ever call me that and I'm not blushing!".
"Then why did you turn all red?".
"Yo...you stop teasing me now. We're getting late. Let's get going".
Hmph hahaha. What a cunning young lady. I'm getting more interested in her day by day.
We then went towards the carriage. Allen raised his hand to help me get into it, just as a gentleman would do, though he isn't one. It was my first time going out after I was brought here. I need to do some stuff as well. I can't possibly trust the man infront of me. I don't know what's he scheming behind his back. I'll go and meet Catherine as well.
"Umm Allen. Can I make a request".
"Go ahead".
"Promise me you'll say yes".
"Depends".
"I want to go visit my friend. I'll be inviting her to our ceremony as well. I've told you about her before as well."
"Your friend. The one named Catty".
"It's Catherine!. And yes your correct".
"No".
"Pardon, no what?".
"Your not meeting her".
"Huh!?. Wait..whyyy!
"No reason".
"But I want to meet her".
"And I said No".
"What's wrong with you. I can't even meet my friend now".
"Not today".
"I will meet her today and that's final".
"My little squirrel don't you know the meaning of no".
"My dear Allen, dont you know the meaning of yes".
" Little Squirrel stop your stubborness"
"What do you mean by that. I'm the one being stubborn then what are you being, can't you even accept such a small request".
"I said not today, you may go another day".
"Another day. You think I'll believe that. You never let me step out of the castle. Haven't you taken enough advantage of me."
"Advantage?. Little Squirrel when did I took advantage of you, tell me".
"Oh really. You literally abducted me and my brother and brought us to the Castle. You literally forced me into marrying you just because of some throne and me finding out your identity. You literally used my brother to blackmail me. And you bring me and threw me into a huge castle and a mansion where I don't even know anyone and everyone despises just because you need a empress to gain the throne. Now your even restricting me from meeting my friend. Isn't this you taking advantage of me. How is this not taking advantage of me. Explain it to me Allen Standford, just because your the Crown Prince doesn't mean you can own people. I said these words filled with anger. My mouth wouldn't stop spitting out the words. I was on the verge of tears not because I was sad it was because I was really angry."This is wrong. This is just so wrong. Whatever your doing to me isn't ok. It's just really unfair. I'm always doing whatever your want me to do can't you even accept my one little request."
I glanced at him..... Nothing. His face was expressionless, it was as if he really didn't care about me. Well I don't care about him either but at the very least I respect his decisions. Whatever I said right now wasn't wrong.
"Unfair? Wrong?. Hah really."
What the... Why is he speaking like this. It's as if I'm with someone else. Damn it, I don't care anymore.
"Yeah, unfair and wrong. You heard me".
"About the marriage part I was wrong in forcing you into that. Except for that I never took advantage of you. And haven't I always have treated you nicely? I'm even educating your brother".
"Well that's!... I - ...I suppose your right." I said with a sad look on my voice."Can't you please let me meet Catherine today. Please Allen, only this once". I pleaded.
"Well if your insisting so much than I guess I have no choice than to say yes. But only for thirty minutes no more than that."
"Ahaha, thank you so much Allen". I said with a bright smile. Finally he agreed. Now everything is going according to my plan.
Hmm I've never noticed but Little Squirrel is quite beautiful and she looks pretty when she smiles. No wonder those bastards were trying to assault her. Well now they're resting in their graves and probably in hell. Anyways, I can't fully trust this woman. She might be scheming something, but I'm sure about one thing, that she'll never harm me. She doesn't even understand that I own her. All of her.
"I need to escape from him".
"She can't escape from me. Never".
