The Marrying The Prince

28

The relief felt by Jane. The woman was moved to the point of wanting to cry, but was arrested. It would be a shame if he acted like a little boy who got lost in the supermarket and lost his mother. "Thank God you found me!" he said with a laugh, pretending to consider all this a normal thing.

However, instead of laughing, the man hugged Jane as if he felt a very longing. For a few seconds he closed his eyes while stroking Jane's long hair.

"What's wrong?" jane did not understand. Just this time a man hugged her like this. In fact, his mother, Natasha, rarely did.

The man let Jane go. "You all right? Are you hurt?" He examined the entire face of Jane, raised the sleeve of Jane's shirt to check there may be scratches on the skin of the prospective fiancee.

"No, Phillip. You don't have to worry" Jane replied.

"I'm sorry, I should have waited for you to come back" Phillip said. His face showed regret.

"It's okay. I'm taking too long because..." Jane was reluctant to make Thomas an excuse, but he had already spoken.

"Because?"

"Because I forgot to bring a handkerchief. I looked around in the bag, and then I remembered it was left on the dresser," Jane deliberately showed off her row of neat teeth.

Phillip smile. "We'd better hurry to the main building for tea. Come on," take her.

"Oh, great. I'm starving," Jane said. "We have a snack, don't we?"

"certain."

Arriving at the main building, Phillip still holds Jane's hand towards the dining table where the royal family is sitting. Jane felt bad, but kept following the prince. She recalled Thomas saying that Phillip would not marry her because he was just a commoner.

If Phillip had not married her, Thomas would have been the same because they were both princes. And until this moment, Jane has no intention of marrying anyone.

Throughout the tea, Jane is unable to concentrate because she thinks of Thomas, until she comes to the main question. Why is Jane still in Vlada?

"Jane?" call Phillip. The handsome prince was confused to see Jane dumbstruck. "You okay?" he asked half a whisper because he did not want to be heard while disturbing others.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jane replied after successfully returning from the clouds. "Sorry."

Phillip smiled next to Jane. "We have room to rest. I'll take you there if you want."

"No. Maybe this is the effect of the heat from sunbathing on the plantation earlier," joked Jane.

"Okay. Just tell me you want something."

Jane nodded innocently.

The dining room of Fadar Palace was quiet. Only the clanking of tableware was heard in the ears of the two people. The woman occasionally bribes a spoonful of food, while the man glances at the woman constantly.

Until the moment that the woman realizes the attention of the man, she feels bad. "Sorry," he said.

"It's okay. I thought there was something. You want to tell me?" phillip asked as he gathered the food on his plate into a spoon, then devoured it.

Jane thought for a second before speaking. "Phillip, are you going to marry me?" ask directly to the main topic.

Phillip almost choked on his own food. He drank water from the glass he had prepared. "You don't believe me?" his reply.

"I'm sorry, Phillip, I don't believe it, but can you just answer my question?"

"Yes, yes, seriously. I'll marry you."

"Are you sure?"

Phillip chuckles. "Is there anything that might make me doubt?"

"I think, there's. Social status?"

"Hmmm..." Phillip rests his body on the back of the chair. "I think I understand what you're trying to say. You think I won't marry you because I'm a prince and you're a commoner?"

"At least that's the reason I was thinking about," Jane shrugged.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Yes. Vlada's main media will preach the harvest celebration today. I dare guarantee your face will be plastered on the front page of the news. If the news is positive, it means that you are accepted by the community and the Vlada Royal family."

"Why not read the news on the internet? These days, there are definitely a lot of people who steal my photos and make news everywhere."

Phillip laughs. "You still believe in that haphazard news? Letters from the people I read every morning have shown that most of the news they watch or read in various media is not entirely true."

"And the mainstream media you're talking about is trustworthy?"

"certain. It was a media specially created by the royal side."

"You're sure they're writing the truth? I'm sorry, Phillip, I'm just skeptical. I know you respect your kingdom, but I won't stay silent if they tell lies about me."

Phillip's laughter echoed in the dining room. "I like you like this, Jane," he said. He held Jane's hand on the table. "You're making me nervous!"

The blush! Jane's cheeks warmed up instantly. Soon she lowered her head so shy.

"Recycle your food. After this, I want to take you somewhere."

The shadow of Jane going outside the palace did not materialize because it turned out that the place Phillip meant was still in the neighborhood of Fadar Palace, which is in the back area, separated from the palace building.

If the Alcaz Palace has a swimming pool, then Fadar Palace has a spacious maze garden in the shape of a square. Jane had never known about this because it was thought that the row of plants was just a fence decoration.

The labyrinth has a winding path and is quite confusing for people who first enter there. It also affected Jane. The woman was upset that she failed to find Phillip.

"I can't believe you can't find my tracks, Jane," Phillip was blown away as soon as they finally reached their destination, a gazebo in the middle of the labyrinth.

"I'm sorry I'm not a hunter" Jane rolled her eyeballs.

Phillip's laughter grew louder. "You're panting like this" he said. The handsome man wiped the sweat on Jane's forehead with his hand.

Soon Jane retreated because she thought it was slovenly.

"What's wrong?"

"That's my sweat. Where's your hand?" Jane asked Phillip for a hand. After Phillip gives her, Jane uses the underside of her shirt to clean the man's palm.

Phillip laughed at Jane's behavior. In his heart, he was excited. Her smile flashed as Jane's round eyes glanced at him. "This is the first time you've held my hand" Phillip chuckled.

Jane nodded, then snorted. The ginger-haired woman let go of Phillip's hand.

They sat next to each other in the shade of a gazebo decorated with vines while looking at the flowers around them.

"Have you ever dated before?" ask Jane.

Phillip thought for a moment. "I wouldn't call it a courtship" he replied.

"Why?"

"Because it's not like that. I liked her so much that she was willing to do anything for her, but she didn't like me."

"I guess all women love a prince."

"Then, what about you? Is a prince like me worthy of your liking?"
