Even after so many days, Nicholas couldn't remove the woman he had seen from his mind. She was dazzling and sparkling…
He had tried to see her again by going to the flower field, hoping she would be there at the same time, playing with her puppies. But she seemed to realize a stalker was trying to find her and decided not to come back.
Or, perhaps, it was the bodyguards. They were aware of Nicholas' presence the last time and advised their lady to stay away from strangers.
Nicholas thought he could get her out of his head if he tried, but all his efforts proved to be futile. Finally, the Crown Prince couldn't help but summon his people.
"If I'm going to be the king, I might as well use the power and authority it can give me," Nicholas muttered to himself and soon inquired into the identity of the woman he encountered in the valley.
