Wife of The Demon Prince -
Chapter 181: Shall we?
Chapter 181: Shall we?
After coming back from the jewelry store, Ara got busy with trying to pick a dress to wear tonight. She and Emma were in the dressing room with dozens of dresses scattered around the floor.
Ara was taking painstaking care to select a dress tonight, she’d never cared about her looks nor cared about what to wear, but today was different, she’d tried more than twenty dresses already, but none of them fit her liking. She couldn’t decide what to wear from all of the many dresses in her wardrobe.
She tried on another one and turned to Emma, who was busy rearranging the dresses scattered around the floor, "Emma, What do you think about this one?"
Emma sighed, "My lady, just like all the ones you’ve tried earlier this one is also gorgeous."
Ara gave Emma a doubtful look, because Emma had been saying the same thing with all the dresses she’d tried on and she was finding it hard to believe it. Ara smoothed the dress and turned towards the mirror, "Ha...I don’t think this one is beautiful enough, Emma, I want to look my best tonight that’s why I asked for your help."
Even without trying to look her best Hamon had complimented her, however she still wanted to look more beautiful so he would forever remember this day with an awe expression in the future.
Emma couldn’t help but smile at Ara’s behavior, "My lady, I have never seen you this meticulous before, you look and sound nervous. I think you are beautiful in every dress you wore, and am sure His Highness also thinks so."
"You think so?"
Emma nodded with a smile,"Uhm-hmm, His Highness will surely drool seeing you this beautiful. And I can see how excited you are for your outing, so let’s not waste time and make you up, My lady!"
Ara’s cheeks colored even more, she couldn’t bring herself to deny her excitement. It was her first outing with Hamon after knowing his feelings for her.
Ara pursed her lips, "Am I so obvious to read now? That’s embarrassing..."
Emma’s smile widened at her mistress’s shy demeanor. It wasn’t often that she saw Ara this happy and excited, and she could tell how much her mistress loved the crown Prince. She was also glad that she hadn’t been having that terrifying nightmare about Ara’s death again. And it seemed like things would turn out well for her mistress.
"Don’t be embarrassed, My lady. You are already married to him, it’s fine to blush at the mere mention of his name." She teased, however Ara blushed even harder, she quickly changed the topic, "Alright, let’s go back to choosing dresses." She was too embarrassed even though they were a married couple.
Ara continued pointing at another dress, "I’ll try that one on, too."
"Alright." Emma picked up the dress she pointed at. For the first time in Ara’s life, she couldn’t pick a dress and was dissatisfied with everything in her wardrobe.
Eventually, after trying on like ten more dresses, she finally picked one. Emma helped her wear the dress and apply some lip paint to her lips, making it more rosy. She arranged her red hair in a half braid, in which half part of her hair was braided and the rest was left to cascade down her back like a waterfall, with a pair of thin tendrils framing her face.
The dress she wore was a black taffeta embroidered with a golden thread in its loose sleeve edges and waist line. The heart shaped neckline was a bit low, showcasing a bit of cleavage. She didn’t wear any jewelry around her exposed neck but a pair of dangling earrings. She looked around and studied herself in the mirror again.
Despite how much praises Emma showered her with, Ara wasn’t still satisfied with her looks. She sighed as she looked back at her reflection in the mirror, she had never paid this much attention to her appearance before, but now; she felt self-conscious of how thinner she looked. She’d lost too much weight. But she still wanted to be the best in her husband’s eyes.
Ara was contemplating on changing the dress, but Emma who went out awhile ago came back to inform, "My lady, His Highness is waiting for you at the carriage."
"Mhm...I’ll be out in a second." She had no choice but to go with this now. She quickly smoothed her dress and tucked the small gift box into her dress pocket and hurriedly stepped out of the dressing room.
Ara hurriedly stepped out of their residence and made to the carriage park. As they were only going on a couple outing and not any occasions, they wouldn’t be taking any guards nor the royal carriage with them.
Immediately she approached the carriage park, she spotted Hamon, who stood causally in front of a plain brown carriage waiting for her with his hands tucked inside his trouser pockets. She slowed her footsteps to admire him. He looked breathtakingly handsome standing there, his cravat was perfectly tied, and a bit of white lace showed at the cuffs of his black coat, while it stretched so tautly across his wide shoulders. His sliver hair tied behind with few strands falling over his sideburns. It was sinful, how handsome he looked without even trying. He made the ordinary vehicle somehow seemed luxurious.
She smiled, he was her husband. It somehow felt like a dream. "Hamon..." She called softly, but he seemed to have heard her as immediately she called he turned to her direction. His red eyes glowed as it slightly widened seeing her, before his gaze slowly trailed her body then a smile graced his lips.
Hamon couldn’t take his eyes off her, he knew she was beautiful, but today...She looked like a moon descended from the sky, so beautiful! Just the sight of her made his stomach knot as something stirred inside him. His wife would surely be the death of him!
He approached Ara, then took her slender hand and pleased a kiss on her knuckle. "Your looks really makes me want to cancel our outing."
"...?"
"You look enchantingly pretty. Too tempting. Damn it, I want to take you back inside so that no man will gaze at you. If any man should glance your way, I might end up gouging their eyes out. You are mine to look at alone." He lightly caress her heated cheek with his fingers.
Ara’s cheeks burned even more with his light caresses and the intensity of his gaze on her. She shyly smiled, "My husband shouldn’t worry, even if they look, am yours already..."
For a moment, Hamon froze then laughed softly covering his forehead with his hand. He then shook his head before extending his hand, "Shall we?"
Ara placed her hand on his large ones, and he escorted her to the carriage. They bordered the carriage. Hamon intertwined their fingers immediately they sat, something he liked doing a lot lately. He then asked her tenderly, "Where do you want to go first?"
