Kapitel 8: 008 Three Times a Charm
I let out a long sigh.
Girls had instantly come out of nowhere squealing and giggling around him.
"Let's go before it's too late." I tugged on Achlys' sleeve. He followed behind me, as we entered the cafe.
The maid looked like she was seeing a ghost. I glanced at Achlys "behave."
"Yes, wife." Even his calm facade was traumatizing. I sighed.
We had sat down,
"What do you want."
"Anything you want, wife." He smiled
"Arya!" I paled at the familiar voice. The crow prince- Xadrian came in, his usual kept blond hair disheveled, hair covered in rose petals, suit falling off the side of his shoulder.
girls screaming in the background of the cafe. Even the attendant was a blushing mess offering him free pastries and tea.
"..What is it Xandrian.." put a hand on my temples. He cleared his throat fixing his attire.
"Have you not seen my letters? I've been trying to get a hold of you for a while now...You have been ignoring me."
"I'm..busy.." I honestly said, even though it seemed like an excuse. He frowned, eyes moving to Achlys who was staring daggers at him.
"Ah.. the oh so famous heartless grand duke. What might you be doing here?" His tone was kind, concealing his jealousy and anger.
Achlys only raised his brow, controlling his irritation in his fists.
The prince, seemed to be offended by his lack of response, although he kept an annoying smile on his face.
"Arya, let us head off to someplace else since we were rudely...interrupted" He didn't bother glancing at the prince.
I said nothing, only getting up from my seat and leaving along with Achlys. Xandrian and I had a very- dejected past, but nevertheless, I treated him with respect.
Achlys has stopped me from forming a bow.
"Arya, are you seriously going to leave me for- for him?! THAT had happened almost a year ago. get over it. deal with it. Quit being so adolescent and let us be close friends like we used to be."
"... I'm sorry, Xandrian, however, I don't think that will happen.." I gave a small smile, leaving the small bakery.
My mood was ruined by his encounter. My heartbeat out my chest, my hands becoming clammy. Here I thought I was over with it. My frown deepened.
Large arms had wrapped around my shoulders, head buried in my hair.
"Wife, do not smile to anyone else but me.." he grumbled, breathing in my sent causing me to quiver.
"...Its proper manners Achlys." He only tightened his arms around me in response.
"All right...I will try. I will only smile when needed is that good enough?"
"..."
-
Somehow we had ended up taking a walk in the park. It was going to rain, the thunder was loud.
"Wife, let us go to my home. It's not far from here." I hesitated.
"All right. Just don't try anything funny." he gave a closed-eyed smile, offering his hand to me, which I had accepted.
Soon enough we had arrived, the rain starting almost immediately after. The butler had welcomed us in, guiding me to my room.
The maids had barely talked, only doing what they were supposed to do.
I was changed into white silk chiffon, which took after the robe I wore to bed, just longer. My hair was put in braids before being tied up in a crown.
I wondered why Achlys had women's dresses in his house. Did he have previous women come here?
I felt a weird pang in my chest. I frowned It was way too early for jealousy.
The butler had called me down for dinner, Achlys already present with a smile on his face.
The food looked- delicious was an understatement. It looked almost heavenly.
"apologies for earlier today." he smiled offering a seat near him. I smiled heading over.
"Let's dig in shall we?"
I nodded vigorously. I offered my hand to him, which he questionably took. I then started to pray.
"Dear Lord, thank you for this delicious meal which you have provided and will nourish our bodies. Amen."
Achlys only stared at me. I gave a teasing grin, letting go of his hand, which he had a tight grip on.
We then started to feast without any hesitation.
