The Marrying The Prince

38

After passing the dinner which was filled only with Ferdinand's inertness, Anastasia who was driving the guests to the front door of the main hall also silenced Feridnand.

Already Anastasia had said that if she did not care about Ferdinand's response to her remark, even if Ferdinand was offended though, Anastasia would not have retracted her remark.

"I'm tired of Bash"

Victoria whispered to Fredrick in a voice that could still catch Anastasia's ear.

"Go back first, baby. I'll catch up"

With a thin smile that looked sweet, Victoria immediately nodded in excitement. The part to drive the guests is the part that makes Victoria always sultry because, that's when the guests will start licking them.

Well.if there is a chance, the nobles will definitely start their actions. Especially in Victoria. And actually because of that too Fredrick always chose to come late at various parties. In addition to being King and free to do anything without fear of criticism, he was also lazy when the nobles started talking about the people or other things.

Fredrick wouldn't believe any story without looking directly at it. After all, he always had his own judgment.

Upon seeing Victoria's immediate departure at Jeremmy and Diana's company, Fredrick turned back to the guests. Anastasia silently continued to study or occasionally smiled at the couple.

Can Anastasia feel a bit of such sweet things in her life? Entirely... Because Anastasia is very aware of her position now.

She is not the wife her husband loves...

"You're moving out tomorrow?"

Fredrick's voice suddenly asked made Anastasia look up to look at Fredrick but, when their eyes met, Anastasia immediately looked down politely. Anastasia, it wasn't that brave to look directly into King Fredrick's gray eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Fredrick again smiled diplomatically at the nobleman who was like he was going to try to start a conversation with him, but Fredrick in a thousand ways immediately busied himself. As now, make use of her daughter-in-law.

"Is Ferdinand having a toothache tonight?"

Anastasia's eyebrows are shrinking

"Pardons... Your Majesty?"

Nonchalantly, Fredrick blinked both of his shoulders.

"The mouth is kept closed except during the main course. Dinand could never refuse meat. And just when he was about to stuff the main menu into his mouth earlier I just saw him open his mouth so wide"

It turns out that nothing escapes the sight of King Fredrick. And it was true what Fredrick said, Ferdinand had indeed only opened his mouth wide when the meat menu arrived. The corner of Anastasia's lips twitched amusedly. He wanted to chuckle but also did not dare.

Fredrick who could catch the amused taste that Anastasia was holding smiled warmly.

"You've started to change Princess. Keep growing and never be afraid of anything" Anastasia blinked her eyes in confusion. Fredrick spoke again. "Remember, now you're a Castalarox. Don't let Victoria down, 'cause she cares about you so much"

After saying that, Fredrick immediately stepped away from Anastasia to get closer to Henry. Leaving Anastasia who was still speechless with a feeling that almost melted away.

And without Anastasia knowing, Fredrick pulled half of his lips when he reached Henry's side.

After all the guests left, the state of the palace regained its calm. Anastasia glanced back at Ferdinand who was still ignoring her. Ignore him and get busy talking to Michael and Dominic.

Anastasia was very tired, but patiently and wisely kept waiting for Ferdinand even though he did not know what else to do.

"Good night Your Highness"

Anastasia immediately turned to see who greeted her, and it was Carl. The golden knight belonged to the rumored King, the knight knight of Queen Victoria.

"Good night Carl"

"Did you not want to go back?"

Carl asked as he blatantly glanced towards Ferdinand. Then glanced at Michael who seemed to reply to his glance by saying 'don't blame me'

"Later Carl, maybe in a minute"

While glancing back at Ferdinand, Carl finally snorted in annoyance.

"You can come back if you're tired, I'll drive you"

Anastasia knows the max of Carl's speech. And Anastasia knew, if Carl also seemed to understand his position of not being able to return if not among a gentleman.

Because Ferdinand, ignore it....

"You're so good Carl"

An amused rarity slid from Carl's mouth, it turned out and finally, he was able to meet a 'normal'-looking Princess'

Anastasia is the form and image of a royal princess. Unlike the Castalarox Princesses, they are all like their mother, their unique mother Queen Victoria. And Carl, he knows their queen's character well.

"No Your Highness, you're a very good one. Because you want to wait patiently for your childish husband" Carl again chuckled. "If it was the other Princesses I knew, they would have already left the childish man with such a character"

Anastasia's lips could only smile faintly. There was a part of her heart that wanted to tell her if she wasn't worthy but, Anastasia tried to push away that thought.

Until Carl again opened a conversation that immediately greeted Anastasia with a friendly and excited.

From his place, Ferdinand did not not not know if Carl kept glancing cynically at him. But Ferdinand was still annoyed by Anastasia's words as if she was hunting him.

"Back Dinand, your wife must be tired"

For the umpteenth time, Dominic told Ferdinand his head but, Ferdinand ignored, again.

"What's your problem, Dinand? I'm sick of Carl keeping glancing at me"

Michael finally voiced his heart.

Ferdinand snorted in annoyance.

"She's just been my wife but she's dictated to me. That's equalizing. He's got a big head"

Dominic and Michael glanced at each other. And Dominic by pointing out the contents of his glass, answered Ferdinand's words.

"Dictating by saying the right thing?"

When Ferdinand will protest and reply to Dominic's remarks, Michael immediately grabbed Dominic's words quickly.

"If Her Highness' words are nonsense, you just have to return the words, not run away and silence your wife"

"di-i"

"You're silent and you're running away because Her Highness' words are true and you can't defend yourself, Dinand"

And again failed, Ferdinand again failed to answer the words that this time came out of Michael's mouth.

Finally, Ferdinand chose to take a deep breath out of his already open mouth but failed to speak. After all, whatever he would say, these two Arathorn men in front of him would definitely grind out his words. Arathorn and his mouth, it will be very difficult for him to win, even more so they are not alone.

After sipping the contents of the glass up to the toilet, Ferdinand handed the empty glass to Dominic, the youngest of them. Dominic, who is the same age as Anastasia, was only a pickpocket but still received Ferdinand's empty glass.

With a lazy step, Ferdinand headed straight for Anastasia and Carl's place. Carl who realized Ferdinand's steps immediately stopped his chortle and bowed politely.

"Happy Rest, Your Highness"

Anastasia, who was not aware of the situation, just stared at Carl's back in confusion. Until suddenly, without warning and sound, a hand immediately coiled around his waist. Anastasia gasped in surprise.

"Fr-"

"Let's sleep"

Both eyes Anastasia immediately rounded until her eyeballs like ready to jump. Ferdinand nonchalantly continued to embrace Anastasia's waist and dragged her towards their room.

With confusion and fear that instantly crept all over her body, Anastasia continued to stumble. But, Ferdinand did not care, his steps and hands still dragged Anastasia quickly. Ferdinand did not care if what he was doing now was rude enough to see a lot of eyes.

Holding back the sound, Anastasia spoke softly.

"Are you going to hit me?"

Ferdinand continued his quick and wide steps even though Anatasia had spoken because he did not hear a slow voice and was full of restraint Anastasia.

Until Anastasia's leg almost fell because it was too fast to drag, finally making Ferdinand's step stopped. Ferdinand stopped his steps with a slight annoyance

"Can't you walk right huh!"

Anastasia bent her lips inward with her hands clenched. He was scared, very scared. But he could not accept Ferdinand's rude treatment in the middle of the corridor with still many servants passing by to clean up the remains of the party. For God's sake! They had just gotten married and Ferdinand had already humiliated him!

"I just found out if you're so rude Prince"

After saying that, Anastasia immediately turned around and stepped wide leaving Ferdinand who had already rubbed his face violently.

Alright... Ferdinand was indeed a little drunk and annoyed. Upset because he actually knew what Anastasia told him was true but, because the speech was also his ego was hurt.

Ferdinand was still standing in the middle of the corridor rubbing his face violently to the point of not noticing that the new Jeremmy and Tomy were about to pass through the corridor watching everything that was happening.

"It turns out he's worse"

Jeremmy nodded in agreement to Tomy's words as he stepped back to head to the exit.

"I don't understand how His Majesty fixed it by using Her Highness"

"We no one knows"

And back, Jeremmy nodded in agreement with Tommy's words.
