บท 142: Chapter 39. The Archduke's Request

The next morning Serge woke up to the first rays of sunlight touching her face. In the back of her mind she still thought it was all just a dream.

For the first time in her life, the girl slept on such a big and soft bed. It was like being on a feather cloud. She stretched sleepily, feeling someone's hand on top of her.

Serge turned around and saw the face of the crown prince before her. He was hugging her in his sleep.

Serge couldn't believe it had really happened. Not even in her wildest dreams did she think she would ever wake up in the arms of the Crown Prince.

The guy looked peaceful and his handsome face was so close. The commoner reached out to touch him.

She just wanted this moment to last forever.

— Your Highness…

They lay like that for some time after which the crown prince began to wake up as well. He tossed and turned for a few minutes, still holding Serg against his body.
