Chapter 17: ...Face To Face...
Rose and the rest of the contestants wore their new uniform and went immediately to the King tile.
Rose was still covering her face, she was frightened by the thought of facing the Crown Prince.
" What if he gets angry and accused me of fraud. Ahhh, it will be certainly my end. Should I run away before that?... No, I can't, not after what I have been through, this is my chance to earn money and save my family. After all, that's the only thing I'm good at. I can't even get married. Father, mother, why did you raise me like this, a good for nothing daughter."
- We are here.
Roy's voice brought her out of her deep thoughts,
this is it, the moment of truth.
The Door opened, and they entered one after one.
the king was sitting on the throne and the Crown Prince was beside him.
Rose didn't dare to look at them, she kept her head down until they stood in front of the king. And gave their respect to him
her heart was about to explode.
She took a deep breath
" Calm down, Rose, don't panic, you can do it"
- Congratulations warriors, you will be Siratrya's honored knights. The safety of this country and its people will be on your shoulders. Don't disappoint us.....Now, the Crown Prince will complete the inauguration ceremony. Go ahead, prince.
- Thank you, your majesty, but before that, you over there, what is your name?
Replied Hans while looking at Rose.
She didn't dare to even lift her head, hoping that he wasn't talking to her.
- He is talking to you, Albert. Whispered Tom, who was beside her.
She tried to keep herself calm.
- My ...My name is.....
- It is Albert, right? Why are you still covering your head?
" This is it, I can't hide any longer"
At that moment she raised her head and look at him, and what a surprise.
- IT IS YOU... THAT JER.....
- BEG YOUR PARDON?
She was extremely shocked knowing that the man that she met in the forest and kissed in the library was actually the Crown Prince.
" What the hell, how things did turn out like this?
I kissed him back there and I remember clearly that he was very angry. Damn it, how am I going to confront him?"
- You, there, Why aren't you answering me?
His gaze was getting scarier. Besides, everyone was looking at her.
" He won't kill me in front of all these people, will he?... Well, I don't care anymore."
Suddenly, she stood straight and took off her headcover.
- My name is... Rose.
