Chapter 345: Chapter 345
The fiddle of his fingers while holding mine took my attention after agreeing to listen to his request.
Anticipating what he would ask since... usually... an opportunity or a chance as we called it could be requested.
Therefore, I behaved innocently while my head became chaotic thinking of what would happen.
’What will it be this time?? I’ll grant whatever it is, kinky, I swear... b-but don’t go too far... we are still a lady... uh... but if you ask for it I guess there’s not much choice... heh... hehe...’ — My head was actually going wild with the crazy imagination I have. More so when he took a moment to prepare and then shatter those crazy horny hopes I had.
"How much energy is there in the Lady?"
’A lot! It may not look like it but I’m REALLY energetic, kinky! REALLY!!’ — Opening wide my eyes I froze to yell on the inside.
"..."
[ Why such a question? ] — ’... Let’s not be that easy...’
"I had thought of inviting you on another date, however, tonight..."
’Tonight?? I’m free tonight...’
"I heard that tonight the lights spectacle would take place. One much more elaborate than other years for it is to be done in the Lady’s, the Ninth Pristina Pars’ honour."
’..... Oh...’
"Since it is something I believe the Lady would find enjoyable... If the Lady allows it, do let myself take you to admire the spectacle."
’But...’ — I lowered my head again. Since however I see it... what does he earn from taking me there?
Then again... Useless is to say, he answered an untold question.
"I would like it if I am allowed to witness it along the Lady."
"....."
’Say no more.’ — After a moment to let the shock sink and turn into eagerness, I stood from the couch ejected by it.
Surrounding it to look through our wardrobe once again and take out a thick cloak.
’Let’s go.’ — Already wearing it, I turned to look at a quiet crown prince, staring in awe at us who posed with determined hands on our hips. Convinced and ready to go on this spontaneous date he brought up.
Staring straight at the prince I waited for an answer, also walking back to his place to stand before him.
And then... Slowly... a gallant smile lifted his corners, gentlemanly letting his good manners act up, as his hand unfolded to ask for mine.
"... Since a cloak is worn... I am to infer the lady accepted my invitation." — He said, adding to his gallantry once my hand was on his. — "This honour, I am never to forget, my Lady Marianne."
"~~!"
’... Resist...! Reaist heart of mine...! Keep strong against the hunks!’ — Stricken by his handsomeness, I tried to break off his deathly effect in my weak head. Opening my eyes to hear more words come out from him... barely managing to enter my ears since I was having trouble concentrating because of his innate seduction.
"Nevertheless, my Lady. Although it pleases me you are willing to depart so promptly... will the Lady be alright solely wearing her night garments?"
’Uh?’
"I do not wish to hinder your health with this request..."
’Oh... Oo~oh! Right... but if I get dressed it will take forever...’ — Looking at my appearance, I actually felt proud that I had taken the unnecessary trouble to choose my nightgown. Hence, taking the edges of my cloak, I looked up at him, closing it around me to show it would be fine. — ’Don’t worry, kinky. That’s what this cloak is for~’
"If the lady is alright with it I shall say no more." — With a nice smile, he then said. Going into the matter of our leave. — "Time is hast, therefore if we are to admire the scene we should depart this moment."
’Okay!’
Although I followed him to the balcony’s door, it took me a second to wonder if it would be alright to do the cannon escape.
I had actually thought (as a veteran reader should know) that we would escape down the balcony... Him catching me once I jumped ~ scared of the height I would say "Kyaah! Scaryy~!"... Shrinking in his nice to-grope arms~~... meeting his violet eyes... and then... our faces would be near... so close that then...
"My Lady, do wait here for a moment. I am to come back and knock on your chambers entrance so this meeting is kept secret."
"....."
’And then we will separate and twerk in celebration all night long... but I guess I’ll have to do without the twerking.’
We stepped outside to see him off, immediately avoiding the scene, since he stepped on the railing to jump wherever he came from, making me feel anxious since the height and his suicidal action was too much for my stomach to take.
He disappeared in a brief moment. And I looked around to try and guess where it was that this prince popped up from when coming to my bedroom.
It was useless of course. But not that much since I felt the cold breeze that made me decide to also bring a shawl along just to be safe.
Not much time passed, and the knock on my door came as promised.
"Lady Marianne, the Crown Prince has come for you... Is this outing scheduled?" — Vitor, my reliable bodyguard, asked after I crossed the door. Acting as a bodyguard should.
’Nope. It wasn’t. Hehe~ but thanks for making sure~ it’s good to know you are alert Sir.’ — Pleased, I nodded many times, meeting the little glint his hidden eyes gave as he talked with a serious demeanour.
"... I understand. Nonetheless, your shadow will not leave you." — Supposedly to be secretive, he said it loud enough so those near would know. Probably to warn anyone that I would not be on my own.
I did think it was a little suffocating. Having freedom is in part having no one following you. But today’s encounter with a freakish kid wanting me dead made me forget having that luxurious part of freedom.
"Greetings, my Lady." — Then a voice I heard too little ago greeted me again. — "I am sorry for the late hour, yet we are still on time for the event."
’Heh... at least you didn’t say "long time no see"... Fufu~Trying to act as if we didn’t just separate.’
I gave him a mischievous look, entertained at how he tried to fake naturality. Wrapping my hand over his offered arm to get moving. Waving Vitor a goodbye as we walked away.
"My Lady... we will have to sneak out later."
’Uh??’
Then... Once we had a good distance from my chambers he whispered close to my ear.
