Chapter 48: Young Couples

Chapter 48: Young Couples

"Yet your face lost colors." Elio sighed. He did not want to worry Amber with the struggles but she was his only confidant. After the death of his mother, his position was constantly challenged by the new queen and her child, Edward. If not for the support of Amber and her family, he would have lost a long time ago. "I am too hard on you. Am i not?" he felt incompetent as a crown prince.

"Others might have chosen their partner for power and position. But I am lucky to have you. And yet I do nothing but complain. You must be exhausted with me." Amber’s eyes softened and she sighed.

"You speak as if our relationship is new and I do not know you, your highness. We have been friends first and childhood sweethearts. I have decided to marry you before the death of her majesty. Time and conditions would not waver my heart. I will stay with you for a lifetime and I will make sure that you will be the next king even if I have to challenge the world for you." her daunting words and actions had always made his heart skip a beat.

Elio looked at Amber as if she was the only one in this room. Amber noticed that heated gaze and blushed. She knew he was facing challenges. He could have made a few more contacts and planned to take more consorts.

But even when his majesty suggests, Elio always refuses. Did she not know it was only for her. How could she blame such a loyal man?

If his majesty did not have a mistress, how could he have faced so many challenges? Elio understood that did not want challenges for his future kids. He was the best man in the whole world. Edward was just a rotten seed.

"Elio! How about we go for a walk in the garden too." his expression changed at once. He knew that she was sacrificing this loving moment to keep an eye on Edward. He hesitated but she only smiled and squeezed his hand. "Perhaps we can find a secluded corner and kiss each other."

"....." his eyes widened and his whole face dripped blood at once. Amber wanted to laugh out loud. It had been a long time since she was teasing this man. They would kiss sooner or later. But teasing him with it feels so relishing. Perhaps, it would not be that bad to try it today.

He noticed her cheeks getting redder and his heart stirred. He smiled and left with Amber.

William swirled the glass in his hands. His eyes flashing a hint of thrill.

"Should I stop them, your majesty?" The aide only felt an impending doom was waiting at the other corner when he saw everyone leaving at once.

"Why? Do young couples need some privacy? Not only your eyes are following them, you know." the aide felt exasperated. He knew that his majesty did not want to tightly control his affairs and let the princes compete with each other.

But would it not be embarrassing if the princes had an argument when all the noble families were in the royal palace.

"Then I should send someone to keep an eye at least." he pleaded only for Wiliam to chuckle.

"Do you think they have not sent enough spies on each other? Forget it, you should learn to enjoy the mood too. Go and dance with the girl you like." his eyes founded Gabriella. She was introducing the princess to a few men with a smile on her face.

In a glance he knew all the men she had chosen could benefit Edward in gaining more support. That woman did not even let go of their one and only daughter for her benefit.

William stood up at once shocking his wallowing aide. He had not expected his majesty to take action himself after being so light-hearted.

But his majesty did not walk out there; the princes had taken their partners. He walked toward her majesty instead.

"Diana.." the first princess stiffened. Like a child caught red handed while stealing. Her face flushed and looked guilty instantly.

"Fath.. your majesty." she bowed instantly.

"Do not be too stiff, Diana." Although he was talking to his daughter, he was staring at his wife. Gabriella was already glaring at him as if he was her sworn enemy. William only smiled at her as he extended his hand toward his daughter. "I have only come to ask for a dance."

"Diana is busy." Gabriella announced in a cold voice. As if remembering there were still guests around, she forced a smile on her face, "I meant, she must dance with young men. What would we do among them, your majesty." her voice mellowed down a lot. She sounded like a woman in love.

"Why? Did you not dance with your son? I am inspired and want to dance with my daughter. Should I not get the honor?" He looked at Diana this time. The girl hesitated before placing her hand in her father’s hand.

William smiled innocently at Gabriella before taking Diana away. The woman’s gaze turned dark. Years of practice did not let her facial expressions change but the air around her turned heavy.

"Your majesty." as if her anger was not enough, Ruella, her confidante and head maid whispered softly.

"There is something you must see!" Gabriella frowned. When she turned sound found Duchess Aykroyd standing behind Ruella with two glasses of wine in her hands.

She had a flattering smile on her face as she bowed lightly

"Your majesty, perhaps I could offer you a drink." this little wench! Gabreilla had no good impression of Oriana who had gotten to her position by ill means. But just when she was about to insult the woman, Ruella shook her head lightly.

It paused Gabriella in her tracks. She nodded her head after a slight pause.

"Of course, duchess Aykroyd. It has been a long time since I heard news about your estate."
