Queen Sword's

Eps 94 Cancellation of engagement

Feeling indebted Amelie finally willing to follow Axel, now they have sat face to face in a tea shop commonly visited by Nobles, all eyes are now on the two of them, that was because Axel who was basically already popular and famous because he was the perfect candidate for the Emperor, but what would be the response of people if they saw Axel who was the spouse of the Emperor seen with a Lady in a public place? Of course the gaze of people seemed to stab at the back of the woman in front of him now.

Amelie was agitated, her eyes kept glancing at the canoe and left paying attention to the reactions of people, even though her reputation was arguably bad in the upper class society but the man before her now made her look worse, Amelie also gritted her teeth while staring intently at Axel's face which looked very relaxed even though people whispered whisper behind them.

Axel looked at the restless Amelie "Are you uncomfortable here Miss?"

Amelie brought her face closer "Of course, who would be comfortable if it was stared at sharply by many people, which is really you invite me to a place like this, he said, you should have taken me to a more private place" he whispered with an annoyed face.

"Unfortunately in this store there is no such place, because I have helped you several times so please hold it" he said casually while sipping tea as if he really enjoyed the moment.

"Isshhh. Damn debt, you should have just let me go earlier"

"Maybe I ignore Miss who is in danger, especially you are a friend of His Majesty"

"Because I am a friend of His Majesty you should not take me to a place like this, what will people say"

"When have you ever cared about the opinions of others?"

"Are you stupid? I can't be careless if it's about His Majesty"

"You care so much about His Majesty? I think your relationship is moving away because lately you have never visited His Majesty"

Amelie paused for a moment "That's because I can't disturb His busy Majesty" she hesitated.

"You don't have to feel bad about this situation because soon the news of the cancellation of the engagement between me and His Majesty will soon be heard all the way to the corners of the continent"

"Apa-hh??? You serious?" Axel nodded "Why? Did your Majesty end up breaking ties with you?"

"I decided it unilaterally"

Amelie looked at Axel who looked calm but the look on his face was very visible he was very heartbroken, he already knew the reason for making such a decision, he said, of course, everyone would not be surprised if in the end Axel Harington finally gave up on staying by the Emperor's side "It must be heavy, everything will be fine" suddenly his speech became soft.

Axel felt uneasy with the look of pity from Amelie "Ehemmm, I'm saying this not because I want to make you pity I know"

"Hemmm, still you're very kasian"

"Are you actually siding with me or with His Majesty?"

"Of course, Your Majesty"

"So why do you feel sorry for me?"

"Although not on my side but still I can pity anyone who does look like a messian, like a rat who was hit by a horse carriage or lizard who stepped on a human anyway like that"

"Haaaa.. You liken me to that bad animal?"

"You can't insult animals, rats and lizards want to live too"

"Yes, whatever you do, I have an offer, that's why I'm taking you to this place, not to talk about animals"

"offerings? What'sthat?"

"Marry me Miss Amelie Johnston"

"You okay? Drink slowly"

"Haaa, because of who I am, am I not misheard?"

"No, I said marry me Miss Amelie, is it still unclear? Should I speak louder?"

"No, no need, enough" He glanced around, thankfully no one seemed to hear him.

"So what's your answer?"

"Is this some sort of impromptu wedding proposal? Me and you? Be married? Where possible, Not want to! My relationship with His Majesty will be awkward"

"Think first Miss, how can you immediately reject a marriage proposal from a perfect partner like me"

"Well, what an incredible amount of confidence, how could you say that with your own mouth"

"That's a fact that everyone already knows, I'm handsome, rich, high-ranking, well-established, friendly and thoughtful, there's no shortage"

"Yes yes, but in front of me you never be friendly, look at the way you talk ck ck ck, your shortcomings are clearly visible from your nature"

"Originally you know Miss, I'm sure there won't be any women who will turn me down out there, but think about why I chose you"

"Why?"

"I feel comfortable with you so I can behave like I am who is like this, I can show myself as I am, and most importantly are you past the age of marriage? I've also heard rumors of you not being able to get married because you have a bad attitude, the normal man who sends you a cover letter is just the one who wants a connection with His Majesty because you are his friend or your father's rich connection, or also an aged man or widower, am I wrong?"

"Ugghh, how do you know that?You're such a bitch"

"Of course everyone in the empire already knows with the rumors, with you married to me you can prove that their assumption is all wrong, you can get the perfect partner, he said, isn't that profitable enough for you"

"While I don't want to, how could a friend marry his friend's ex-fiancee, it's a shame"

"Haaa.. contract marriage, only up to two years, think first"

"Contract marriage? Two years? You plan on making me a widow after two years? Why me? Looks like you really don't intend to marry another woman, honestly then I'll think about it well" Axel just fell silent "You plan to hurt the feelings of His Majesty by using me? Or do you want to see how His Majesty reacts? Or do you want to look lost? Are all three?"

Axel looked at him sharply, how could the careless-looking woman guess his way of thinking precisely on target.Axel began to think of an answer in his favor, even though his guess was correct but still he could not admit it "That's because I don't want to seem pathetic, because later if in the end His Majesty marries that person everyone will pity me who seems like an appearance, not to mention the view of my pitying mother, I'm not sure, don't you know that novel? I don't have the pride to stay by His Majesty's side, which is why I chose this path"

As soon as Amelie's initially suspicious gaze turned into a pity look as Axel showed a look of pity, Axel knew the weakness of the woman before him, although Amelie spoke rudely and seemed reckless but she pitied the weak, that was the reason His Majesty liked her.

"Alright, I will think about it taking into account my condition and situation, as well as how much benefit I would get if I married you for two years"

"Okay, I look forward to the good news from you Miss"

After Axel finished his business they parted in front of the teahouse.
