The Bride Of Immortal Crown Prince -
Chapter 42: Suppress Her Feeling
Chapter 42: Suppress Her Feeling
In the afternoon, Allynna decided to explore this tremendously long and unbelievably wide castle and its multiple gardens. Especially the eye-catching garden in the backyard, near the blue lake.
When she came out of the bedroom, she saw an empty living room. There was no one in the big room. She took a deep sigh and walked toward the window to see the garden below and the lake. She stood still there...
"Will I be home alone again like in Sarlun?" Instantly she felt lonely.
She thought that by living with brother Leon, she would have someone to talk to. At least in his house, she could be accompanied by her female servant. However, no one can visit the 2nd floor. Also, until now, she has not met Lella, her servant, yet.
Now she was confused. How to summon her servant? She needs Lella to accompany her for an afternoon walk. She doesn’t want to walk alone.
"Do you want to walk in the backyard, Allynna?"
Instantly Allynna turned her body when she heard brother Leon’s voice from behind. She saw him standing just two steps away from her. Her feet were too feeble due to the shock. She slumped. But before her knee touched the floor, brother Leon swiftly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. And one of his hands held her hips.
The moment their skin touched, Allynna could feel a wave of shiver enveloping her body, and her heart started to beat fast. She is still in his arms. Her head is facing him, and their eyes meet.
For dozens of seconds, they stare at each other without saying any words, not even moving.
A second later...
She felt her mind telling her to stay still and not make a move, but her mouth betrayed her, "B-Brother...Leon..." That word escaped from Ally’s mouth without her noticing.
Later, She felt Brother Leon release his hand and take two steps back to give them space.
Their second physical contact left Allynna at a loss for what to do. The atmosphere around them instantly turned awkward. They both do not know how to react.
Allynna turned her gaze to the floor to see her toe. Shyly she answered that she wanted to stroll at the garden and lake behind the castle. But she was afraid to go alone and needed Lella to accompany her.
Leon is still in shock from physical contact with her. This girl made him feel another strange feeling in his heart. This is the second time. Did he have to avoid it again so his mind could function normally?
But when he saw her blushing, his mind made him say, "Let’s go for a walk, like you intend to. I will accompany you...." He paused. His mind was a mess. What was on his mind and what came out of his mouth was different?
His words made Allynna raise her head to see his calm face.
She was surprised because brother Leon had time to stroll with her? She immediately nods and is ready to go with him.
"Allynna, before we go. Use your shoes first...."
She immediately ran to her room, looking for shoes, and changed her clothes. A few minutes later, she came out in white sneakers, and she was also wearing blue jeans and a flower print blouse, which she found in her wardrobe.
They walked side by side down the stairs. In no time, they were already walking in the vast garden in the backyard.
Allynna walked ahead toward the flower path leaving brother Leon behind. The path leading to the lake is flanked by various flowers blooming with multiple shapes and colors. There are roses in multiple colors, similar to the ones in her bedroom.
There are Allium flowers which are bright purple. She also found Rudbeckia with bright yellow, resembling the sun, and what she likes the most is dahlias. It looks so pretty with various colors. She couldn’t take her eyes off the flowers. She seemed enchanted and didn’t realize Brother Leon was still standing behind waiting for her.
"Allynna..." Allynna snapped out and looked Leon in the eyes. Leon continued, "Never leave your room barefoot. Didn’t you have slippers in your room?" Seeing her barefoot in the living room makes him worry. How come she can walk on cold marble without slippers?
Allynna looked at him with weird thoughts. Because at her house in sarlun, she rarely wears slippers. Well, her mother provided slippers, but she never used them. She feels more comfortable roaming around with her bare feet.
She just nodes at him. She knows her habits will gradually change as she lives in a new place. She will adjust herself to life at this place.
She didn’t know how long Brother Leon would like her. But now, her status as a prince’s future bride makes her want to do something so that she can stand beside him equally.
As for now, she is not confident enough to be his wife. He is a future emperor, and she is just an ordinary girl from a small island. She didn’t know how to be a noble lady.
What made her even more insecure... Now, she doesn’t have a family member. She is alone. Both her adoptive parents are dead. And she doesn’t know who and where her real family is. Are they pure-blood or half-blood? She has no idea.
She realized she was not the emperor’s and empress’ ideal to be crown prince’s companion. In her mind, she imagines both of his parents will reject her the moment she appears in the palace.
Thinking of all that made her shudder. She immediately threw away her thoughts of being a princess of this empire. For now, she will try to suppress her feelings toward him. She must not fall for him. Not now...
She doesn’t want to get involved in any trouble, or even ruse, within the Royal Palace’s household. She just wanted to find her biological parents. If her birth mother and father really didn’t throw her away and were still looking for her, she would be very grateful to be reunited with them again.
But if they didn’t want her... she wouldn’t be sad either. She will continue her life, study hard and build her own life, her future.
