The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid
Chapter 177: The Weak and the Strong

Chapter 177: The Weak and the Strong

“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.

How can the textbook be wrong?

“Well, how do I put this? Even if history did already take place, books and lessons about history are still open to many interpretations and representation...” the prince explained.

I cocked my head to the side in slight confusion because I didn’t quite get what he was talking about. What does he mean by history being interpreted and represented differently?

“Let me try that again. There’s a staying that history is written by the winners, right? Have you heard that before?” he asked.

“No...” I mumbled.

“Basically, what that means is that the person who has the right to write these history books can basically write whatever they want in it. They can tell their version of the story in the way that they want it to be told. People like you, the readers, who don’t know anything will have no choice but to believe that it is true,” Prince Leonard explained before he grinned at me.

“So, this book isn’t telling the truth about the history of this kingdom?” I asked to make sure that I understood what he was telling me clearly.

“I wouldn’t go as far as to say that everything printed on these pages is entirely false, but somethings are definitely false,” he replied.

“Like what?” I asked as my curiosity started taking over me.

“Well, let’s see...this part for example...” the prince said as he flipped through to a page in the book.

He slid the opened book across towards me and my eyes were immediately drawn to his beautiful index finger as he pointed to the words printed on the page. My eyes lingered on the prince’s finger for a moment before I started reading the text on the page.

“Anna, I mean, my teacher just now basically just taught me this part. She told me that the king wanted to save all the wolves, so he established this kingdom for the strong alphas and people who have wolf blood...” I recited what my teacher had just taught me before the prince arrived.

“That’s very aligned with what is in this book and what is supposed to be taught to everyone in this kingdom,” he said with a small nod of his head.

Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable because the prince was acting like there was so much more to what I had just been told. I stared at his face curiously as I wondered what the real truth was and if the prince would be willing to tell me.

“Is it...not true?” I asked.

Prince Leonard’s beautiful lips curved into a sweet smile and his blue eyes seem to light up with slight mischief as he looked straight at me. Slowly, his beautiful fingers approached my face and my body tensed in place. I closed my eyes a moment before I felt the warmth of his fingers brushing against my cheek as he softly stroked it up and down. His touch felt so warm that it almost felt hot, but it felt so comforting at the same time.

“There are only two things that the strong can do to the weak. The strong can protect the weak...” the prince whispered to me, and his voice sounded like a sweet lullaby.

I opened my eyes lazily to find him still staring at my face. It had been a few days since I last saw him and it had also been a few days since I’ve felt his touch. I had no idea what the prince was going to say or why he was telling me this, but it was hard for me to focus on anything with his fingers till stroking my face. My chest felt tight, and it felt a little harder to breathe.

“Alternatively, the strong can abuse and oppress the weak...” he said as his voice turned very cold.

His gentle fingers that had been stroking the side of my face firmly held my chin and forced my face up to look into his. I gulped as the atmosphere around us seemed to tense. The prince’s blue eyes seemed several shades darker than before and the way he stared down at my upturned face made me feel like I could never escape him.

In this life that we’re living, he’s the strong and I am the weak...

My eyes widened in shock when the prince suddenly leaned over the table and crushed his lips to mine. His lips pressed against mine firmly and I made a small whimpering sound in my throat. His lips felt hotter than normal, and his sudden kiss caught me by surprise. When my eyes drifted closed, I could see and hear the fireworks that we watched together on that night that he took me out on a date in the city.

I had no idea why he was suddenly kissing me, and I was sure that it had nothing to do with the history lesson that I was supposed to be having. His lips moved on mine as he pressed his lips against mine from various angles. I moaned as a shiver ran through my body. Prince Leonard began licking my lips with the tip of his tongue before slowly wedging it in between my lips.

I moaned and slowly parted my lips for him. His tongue immediately thrusted deeply into the wet depths of my mouth. His kiss made me feel so weak and so corrupted as his tongue began exploring the insides of my mouth before entwining with my tongue teasingly. Our kiss deepened and soon I was moaning into our kiss. My heart raced in my chest as the smell of roses flooded my senses.

His kiss made me feel so alive...

If this continues, will we end up mating just like we did that night?

Just when that thought ran through my mind and I was confused about how I felt about that idea, the prince withdrew his tongue from my mouth and then his lips parted from mine. My lips felt so bruised and swollen from his aggressive kiss as I panted to catch my breath again.
