The Love of a Prince

Chapters 11. The Meeting In The Library

Once inside Laura chose a chair in the corner of the library room so as not to be disturbed by the presence of others while in the library.

Put a coffee cup on the table and bag and start walking in the hallways of the bookshelf to find an interesting book to read.

Laura returned to her desk with two books in her hand. Pulling a chair to sit down and start reading the book he picked up regardless of the existence of Edward who had just silently observed himself from a distance not so far from his chair.

Laura began to focus on the book she read because the location of her chair at the back of the corner of the room made her not hear a little commotion that occurred in the front of the library room.

Someone pulled the empty chair that was right beside Laura making her reflex turn her head.

Frowning dislikes the presence of the person.

"Why are you in this glorious place ?" Laura asked in a polite tone to Prince Albert even though she was upset by the man's presence there.

"Can't I be in this place ? as far as I know this is a public place that everyone can come to this place." Prince Albert said with a jaily smile, pretending not to understand the meaning of Laura's words.

Laura held back the emotion of hearing Prince Albert's words that did not answer directly to his question and looked resentfully at Edward who had an innocent face.

It must have been him, he must have reported my whereabouts here to his master.

"I didn't think it turned out that besides coming to the nightclub you also like coming to this place."

"Can't really ?"

"Nobody said no, just really didn't expect." Still with a dirty smile on his face.

"Ah ! I remembered that your Papa once told the King about your desire to work here." Prince Albert added.

"At that time you were there too ?"

"Of course but dear King immediately rejected it." Prince Albert pretended to have a sorry face.

This man is getting more and more annoying!, Why does he have to say that too ?! like mocking myself.

Laura was ordinary not to respond to the words of Prince Albert even though his heart was getting upset.

"You're very serious about reading that book." Prince Albert spoke again, calling for Laura's attention to not respond.

Laura let out a long sigh looking at Prince Albert. "I'm sorry if you offended your majesty but this is a library. We mustn't make a fuss when we're here that bothers others."

Prince Albert raised his forehead next to the. "I think those who are here must understand and understand me. They won't be mad at me if I make a little fuss here."

Yes, they dare to be angry at you who are the Crown Prince and the future King in this country, what are they looking to die for !.

Hedeh...... !! Since meeting this man, I have a new habit of grumbling in my heart.

"That which you say is noble." Laura said resignedly.

"I heard from Edward that you were angry at my decision to give you a personal bodyguard."

Laura instantly reflexively stared angrily at Edward.

"Don't misunderstand your majesty, I just don't like being escorted anywhere. I'm used to doing things on my own." Laura explained.

"Hmmm." Prince Albert understood.

"Yes." Yeah." Laura was reassured.

Prince Albert had a serious face. "You have to get used to it from now on because from this onwards you can't go anywhere alone especially after we get married."

Laura returned just speechless not knowing how to respond.

Silent for a while, none of them made a sound.

"His majesty agreed to this matchmaking ?" Laura voiced out, giving herself to ask the thing that had been in her head.

"Just curious."

"I agree with her."

"Why did you agree to it ?" Laura asked curiously.

Prince Albert shrugged both shoulders. "Because it was the will of the late King before, refused his trial because it was like the King's order that must be obeyed." Prince Albert answered.

"Her Majesty don't have a lover or a woman you want to be your wife ?" Laura grew curious to hear the answer from Prince Albert.

"No, the woman who was with me all this time was just entertainment because the will of the matchmaking had long known so useless if I love a woman." Prince Albert said it very casually.

"Love for members of the royal family is impossible because our marriage is usually political or like this, arranged." Prince Albert added.

Laura again fell silent to Prince Albert's words about the reality of their lives.

"Then what about you ? why did you accept this match ?" Prince Albert asked.

Laura shrugged both of her shoulders in an indifferent manner. "Didn't all women in this country crave to marry a noble one ?" Laura avoided answering Prince Albert's question.

"Thulkah ?"

"Of course."

"So is it with you ?" Prince Albert demands an answer from Laura.

"Of course." Laura replied floating, neither assenting nor rejecting.

Prince Albert put on a curious face hearing Laura's words.

"Why is that ?"

"I don't like to be constrained by so many rules in the royal family." Laura answered back plainly.

"Isn't it because you have a lover ?"

"I don't have a lover." Laura replied directly.

"Hmmmm." Prince Albert murmured while looking at the small clock on his wrist.

"I can't stay here too long, I have to go now." Prince Albert added.

"All right." Laura tried to hide her relief once she heard Prince Albert's words.

Prince Albert looked but did not respond, standing up from his chair.

"Well I see you again Ara." Pamit Prince Albert.

Laura stood up to take Prince Albert away. "Until we meet again at our glorious engagement." Laura said expectantly, not wanting to meet Prince Albert until that day comes.

Prince Albert halted his footsteps, staring at Laura with a jaily smile on his face.

"Why does your word mean you don't want to see me again before our engagement ?"

Laura tried to cover up her nervousness. "That's just your noble feeling, I'm so happy to meet you." Laura smiled stiffly.

"Alright, you're lucky right now because I didn't go into it any further. I have to go, see you, Ara."

"See you again, your honor." Laura did not say more.

Prince Albert walked away in a row by some personal bodyguards. Laura just silently looked at Prince Albert's back away.

Laura closed the book she had read, her mood for reading had lost itself moving to return the book to its original shelf. Take his used bags and glasses, throw his drinking glasses in the trash and walk out of the library, of course, in the rear after Edward.
