The Bungsu Princess Inferior

60. Aciel's anger

"Thank you, lady, you're finally here, too" I interrupted Joana and Aciel, who were sitting in the courtyard of the main building.

"What is the relationship between the lady and the lord?"

"Hahahaha.." I laughed again at Joana's straightforward question. "The name of this handsome master you admire is Aciel, regarding your question just now, I want you to guess it."

Joana looked at me and Aciel alternately, for a while her gaze was fixed on my gift bracelet that was coiled in Aciel's hand. Joana looked at me with curious eyes that looked funny to me. I chose to stand leaning against the wall of the building and prepare to hear a straightforward question popping from her small lips.

"Who is your name, miss?"

I smiled, "Rara."

"Rara as written on the board?" Joana asked again while pointing towards the board that was firmly attached in front of the fence.

I nodded in response, catching a nod of my head now Joana looked cheerful. "Thank God that lady is not a rival I have to fight!"

"Hahahahaha.." I again couldn't hold back my laughter, "so what are you going to do about me who's not this rival?"

"Please so that miss can hire me, I want to see a handsome master every day." Joana pleaded with her eyes that she deliberately displayed to look clear.

Suddenly Aciel stood up from his seat and grabbed my right hand, he pulled me into the building. My gaze could not escape from the hand of Aciel who was now holding my wrist.

"I need to talk" Aciel started talking while we were inside the building.

"Before, did you realize what you were doing?" I asked who still saw Aciel's hand coiled around my wrist.

"Yes," Aciel answered steadily.

"Then let go" I said firmly. I still don't think with Aciel, he saw his father burn when he touched me, all this time he didn't dare to touch me, why now he does?

"No, I'm not done talking."

I looked into Aciel's eyes, "you can talk after you take it off."

"This?" Aciel raised my right hand which he held. "Until when will you realize that touching others won't make them burn like my father?"

I fell silent and locked my mouth shut, I was afraid to speak when it came to Aciel's father.

"My father is on fire because your protective layer of birth detects him as a threat because he has malicious intentions towards you," Aciel still looked at me, her words flowing sharply at every word. "And again I know that now that you're wearing a protective layer from head to toe, look nothing's happened to me."

Aciel let go of his hand in front of my eyes, he showed his intact hand not burning in the slightest.

"Stop worrying too much about this," Aciel let out a long sigh, he seemed content to have let go of what he needed to tell me.

"Why did you suddenly bring it up?"

"I'm sick of watching you keep your distance from others and see your eyes that seem afraid to hurt everyone you meet!" Aciel started to use high notes, this was the first time after that day that Aciel let out high-pitched and slightly harsh tone words to me. There is a pain in my heart.

"If you want me here, then behave like everyone else!" Aciel then stepped away towards the back door that opened access to the cultivation field.

"Tock.tok.tok.."

The sound of knocking on the door made me wake up and stare at the origin of the sound, Joana looks at me awkwardly. Could he have heard the words of Aciel?

"Sorry lady, I have to work now. Emm I say retreat," Joana's words sounded a little cautious.

"You work? Where's where?" my many.

"Yes, I work in the morning until noon, at a medicine clinic near the market, miss."

"Aah," I took out a pouch from my storage ring and held out ten gold coins to Joana. "Thank you for bringing the medicinal plants for us, please come again after work later, we need to talk about work, right?"

"Yes, of course, miss." Joana received the gold coin with both hands, she suddenly clasped my hand, "thank you Miss Rara."

Joana smiled with cheerful eyes, turned around and walked towards the fence. I saw him several times observing his own two hands, the hand he used to hold mine earlier.

"Well, he really heard it all!" My smile expands to see Joana's cute, innocent and straightforward behavior.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Aciel asked the servant to call His Majesty for breakfast." Balin looked fresher, he wore a more relaxed black suit with hair that was left wet, maybe just finished a shower?

"Balin, does he look angry?" I asked while walking hand in hand with Balin towards the backyard of the building.

"Mr Aciel seemed to speak less, Your Majesty."

I let out a long sigh, Aciel will be more silent as if he were angry or upset with me, not easy to melt his anger.

"Prepare for the cold war, Your Majesty."

I glared at Balin, "please help me this time Balin."

"Sorry Your Majesty, I am neutral this time."

When I heard Balin's answer, when dealing with Aciel, Balin was always neutral, sometimes even I doubted that he was on my side. This time Balin walked ahead of me and opened the back door for me. I stepped into the backyard of the building bordering the cultivated land, I remember putting some chairs with parasols and making an open kitchen nearby.

The fragrant and appetizing aroma of cooking caught my keen sense of smell. Balin went ahead of me and let me sit in a chair facing the open kitchen where Aciel seemed to be cooking. Balin moved to arrange the plates and glasses on my front desk, he also brought some cooked food to the table.

It feels like just a few minutes ago he was angry, why is it so fast to serve food? magic wit? But he seemed to be cooking for real.

I watched the back of Aciel from where I was sitting, his shoulder-length curly hair looking neatly tied, his body now looking taller than mine, his hands looking skillful while cooking. Suddenly Aciel turned around and poured his dishes onto the plate, hot steam was instantly visible above the dishes that were successfully transferred to the large plate. He brought the plate towards me to sit down, put it on the table and sat in front of me. His left hand grabbed Balin who was still standing to sit beside him.

"Well how can you prepare this much food in such a short time?" I asked in an attempt to break the uncomfortable silence.

"Magic," Aciel replied briefly expressionlessly.

I looked at Balin asking for help to melt the atmosphere, but Balin instead spooned the rice and side dishes to my plate. Just this time he mistranslated my cue, I slipped and was frustrated with Aciel looking angry.
