Chapter 46: Isabelle In The Mix!

"I would be nothing but a chess pawn used and discarded." Edward blinked. From the start to the end, Olivia did not lose the seductive smile from her face.

As if she was whispering sweet nothings to her. But her words were not only harsh but facts that even he had not cleared in his mind yet.

"Oriana said that?" That was not the case since the woman was all smiling at him and had even offered her full support.

"My sister did not know. If she had, she would have already forced you to announce our marriage to the world. You know how stubborn she could be sometimes." The laughter was like birds chirping. Beautiful and spellbinding.

Her twinkling eyes would have left him mesmerizing if he was not paying attention to her cold words.

"You do not need to be so worried, your highness. I am not telling the truth to my sister. Neither will I force you to marry me. I only feel that this pawn should also get something from this deal. You know, a consolation reward. No?" His stiff face relaxed a bit. The smile reappeared on his face.

"Oh my! The song has ended." Olivia blinked and he could swear it was not a coincidence.

The girl had planned her speech on the basis of a song. She had planned to end it at this very moment. He could see it in her eyes full of mirth when she bowed her head.

"Ha! Then i can only request for one more dance." he held her hand while he bowed leaving no chance of denial

"Such anxiety! If I did not know any better, I would have thought your highness was smitten by me." Olivia laughed. Her lips were covered by her fan but her eyes and rosy cheeks were enough to stop his breath for a second.

"I wonder why you doubt, my lady." he smiled back. "I hardly dance in the balls. But here I am begging for your attention." Olivia raised a brow when he kissed her and pulled her close.

This time, her back was leaning on his chest as she swayed her slowly. The dance was much more sensuous than before. Many stopped dancing and cleared the space for her. They looked so intimate that even her majesty paused and stood up.

But in reality, he was only keeping her closer to make sure their words did not reach those ears.

"What do you have in mind, Olivia?" His deep and sensous voice could have left anyone trembling but Olivia only giggled as if he had confessed his love.

The girls could not help but stare at her, hoping they could read her lips.

"My sister would offer quite a wealth and support to you, your highness. It would make you the crown prince while i... I will only be called an abandoned girl. I even doubt people will believe I am a virgin anymore." she bit her lips and eyes him with grievance.

He looked at her bemused and bit her ears instinctively earning a gasp from her.

"What made you think that you would stay virgin after living with me in the palace? Did you not say I am planning to convince your sister that you are my future wife?" Edward finally felt better when her eyes widened and the shock registered there.

For some reason, he felt a strange thrill in teasing this girl.

"That was never part of your plan, your highness. If I got pregnant, my sister would do any possible thing to force you to marry me. We both know she never accepts defeat. You will not soil the goods you do not intend to purchase." Olivia shook her head.

She had already analyzed her every step. She had wondered for years why Edward did not touch her despite his reputation.

Why had he returned her only when he was chosen as the crown prince. In her past, she had believed that her position was not fit to be the crown prince. But now, she knew everything was planned from the start.

"Olivia.."

"I only want a small price, your highness. A few gold and diamond jewels. A ruby necklace matching my hair or an emerald for my eyes. A topaz for my smile and all. Of course, gold coins would be for the best." Edward felt at a loss of words.

Even if Oriana did not pamper her sister as much as she had claimed. What did Olivia lack in her life that she was ready to betray her sister and act as his lover just for some wealth?

"It is not that hard, your highness. You have nothing to lose. In fact, I have other ways to help you too." she winked at him and he finally paused.

He had thought he was the player here while she was the pawn. But now, the positions seem to change.

"My lady.." Nora paused and distanced herself from Edward.

She took a step back and bowed her head, confusing him.

"Your highness, I have been dancing for a long time. My feet need rest. I hope you understand." Only then did he notice that the song had ended.

Looking at his confused and lost face, many exchanged glances. He seemed to be completely mesmerized by the young girl.

When she left, he frowned and followed her. But his steps were blocked by his mother.

Edward paused when her majesty, Gabriella glared at him.

"Your majesty.."

"It had been so long since we had shared a dance, Edward. Since you are so anxious to continue dancing, let me be your partner." Edward paused. He knew that his mother had misunderstood.

But he must find Olivia and clear how else she could help him. The look in her eyes earlier had left him restless. He wanted to know more. As if he was standing at the edge of a cliff. Yet, he was forced to continue walking. He must seek her.

But looking at the cold eyes of his mother, Edward bowed.

"It would only be my pleasure, your majesty."
