Chapter 697: A Proposal(2)

Isidora blinked, momentarily speechless. The unexpectedness of the situation, combined with this man’s allure, had probably left her dumbfounded. At least that was what she told herself had happened when the man brushed her knuckles with his lips and she felt her heart flutter. She managed to find her voice though as she pulled her hand back.

"Well I must say, you’re quite bold. You’re the first man to propose to me..."

"What? Are all the men here blind?" He asked dramatically, as if horrified on her behalf and she could not help but giggle as she shook her head," Let me complete my sentence first. The first man to propose to me without even knowing my name."

He put a hand to his heart then and let out a long sigh," Is your name not Fairy? I was pretty sure you were a fairy queen or something."

Isidora laughed and quickly plucked her ring out of his hand before winking at him as she leaned down and placed a finger under his chin," Maybe I am, maybe I am not. But you didn’t ask. That is such a shame, Prince Kael."

With that, she turned back and walked towards the smaller door on the side, that would lead her into the small emergency stairway instead of the circus that was ongoing outside.

As the door closed behind her, she could hear his voice calling out," How do you know my name, fairy?"

Isidora giggled and rolled her eyes as she hurried back to her room. Meeting Prince Kael had been quite interesting and that man was charming in an alluring sort of way. But he was a playboy wasn’t he? So of course he should be charming. It would be difficult to be a playboy if the guy was not good looking and all that extra schmuzz.

Pushing out thoughts of him, Dora sighed and threw herself tiredly on the bed. Just then, her phone rang and as she glanced at the caller id, she could not help but smile," What?"

"Well, where are your manners, Princess Isidora Rosaling Sterling?"

Dora giggled and and answered," They drowned."

The man on the other side laughed and she could not help but shake her head," Do you even know what time it is?"

"Its’ nearing midnight, I guess."

"Not here! There! Why are you at the Ungodly hour of five am?"

"Hey! Don’t remind me! I have a presentation in two hours. Sigh! Why did I choose to study medicine?"

"Because you are a masochist Cai Frost, who wanted to torture himself."

Cai groaned over the phone," Hey! You’re being too chirpy tonight. What good thing happened?"

Isidora stopped grinning then and raised her eyebrows! Da*n the Frost instinct! Was she supposed to tell him that she was happy because she had just flirted with a handsome man. That would sit well.

"Nothing happened! And I am always chirpy."

"Nope! You are mostly grumpy. Sometimes mildly happy, but never chirpy."

"Shut up, Cai! And get to the point. Don’t think that by questioning me, you will make me forget that you probably called me for a reason. Otherwise you would never even think of your poor ’aunt’.

"You are not ’poor’." Cai snorted before continuing,"And how is this fair? If I call you aunt then I’m the bad guy, but if you call yourself my aunt, then it is okay?"

"Because I am me. Anyway, spill."

Cai sighed and answered," I am going to be off the grid after tonight for a few days. Just... if anyone calls to question you, keep them off my back, will you?"

"Where are you going that you have to hide from Eramsi and Ava?"

"I am not hiding! I’m just going on a time off. Come on! I’ll check in with you every day, okay? So you know I am not dead and buried somewhere."

Isidora nodded her head," Okay, okay. But only for five days. That is it!"

"Thanks Dora! You’re the best! Bye, until then! And I’ll see you soon."

Isidora shook her head and put down her phone. Maybe one of these days, she’ll pull a Cai and disappear for a few days, climbing strange mountains and all. Or whatever it was he did.

Placing the phoe on the side, she then closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. Tomorow was an important day after all. They had a specialist coming in for a lecture. She’d definitely like to attend that. And then, later, their class was going to go for a field trip for the next few days so that was going to be fun as well.

Maybe she would find love on this trip. Though she doubted it. All her ’friends’ were actually only her acquaintances who were mostly initmidarted by her. She knew they definitely called her Ice Queen behind her back. She wondered what they would have to say when they realized she really was royalty.

With her thoughts a jumble between being called Ice queen and Fairy Queen, Isidora fell asleep amid plans to go find someone to fall in love with. And in the subconsciousness of her mind, a man kneeling on the floor with a ring extended seemed to be the one at the top... His twinkling blue eyes and tousled black hair, making her heart flutter in her sleep.

However, the next morning, the dreams of the night were forgotten as Isidora hurriedly raced towards the seminar auditorium, wanting a front seat. The professor coming in today was apparently a financial genius who’d come up with many fiscal plans to get countries out debt...

Unexpectedly, before she could run into the auditorium, her was was blocked as a figure appeared in front of her. "My fairy queen! You have no idea how much I missed you."

Isidora blinked at the man who was smiling at her, or rather she blinked at the dimple on his cheek, which was attractive before reminding herself," Nope... This one is not suitable." and she quickly tried to side step him with a murmured," Excuse me."

However, as she moved, so did he, blocking her away," I’m not letting you pass until you tell me your name..."
