The Marrying The Prince

40

"Welcome to Your Highness..."

A middle-aged male servant immediately greeted Ferdinand and Anastasia when they had already entered the castle. Ferdinand nodded briefly at him while settling down the entire servants who had already lined up waiting for their arrival.

The servant smiled kindly at Anastasia while bowing deeply again

"I'm Stefanus, the butler of Princess Anastasia's Your Highness" Anastasia nodded briefly as she looked back at the castle's living room. "I'm in charge of the castle, you can ask me for whatever you want, Your Highness. And let's.give me to drive you, Your Highness"

"There's no need for Stefan" Ferdinand looked at the entire servant. "I'll drive him. Prepare lunch in two hours"

After saying that, Ferdinand stepped more and more inside. Anastasia silently looked only at Ferdinand's back that left her.

Seeing that Ferdinand continued to advance up the stairs without running his words, Stefan looked at Anastasia with a smiley smile. While the other servants who were still bowing could only glance at each other.

Ferdinand's treatment was cold to his wife. The treatment that everyone could see and feel, and it made Anastasia clutch her dress firmly while putting on a fine face.

"Ruth, come...."

Ruth who could also sense everything that was happening nodded obediently while carrying a step for Anastasia. Fortunately, Ruth had been here a lot with Francesca and she knew every corner of this luxurious Castle. And more fortunately, because he knew where the main room would be Anastasia's room.

As they began to climb the stairs, Ruth continued to lead the way of Anastasia with herself following Anastasia's steps.

"On the right, Your Highness"

Submissive and resigned, Anastasia followed every directive from Ruth. Until they came to the two doors that were on the west side.

The large and majestic door was enough to explain if it was their room.

Ruth swiftly opened the door full of flowers. While glancing at the servants and guards from the palace who were following them to bring the items, Ruth smiled

"Welcome to your room, Your Highness"

With the gaze still staring at the entire part of her new room, the look of astonished face could not hold Anastasia anymore, her head nodding with a smile.

"This room is so beautiful and more luxurious than my room in Ruth's palace. This room is big and beautiful"

Deftly, Ruth immediately pulled out a chair for Anastasia, then she led the servants and guards from the palace carrying the goods.

"The one who chose the bed and who renovated your room is Her Highness Princess Summer, Your Higness"

"really? When did Princess Summer do it?"

"When the wedding plan date is set, Your Highness"

Anastasia's soft smile widened, her heart that had been hit by the ice block began to warm up.

"Summer's daughter is very kind"

After the servants and guards finished putting down the items, Ruth opened the room curtain while saying.

"Princess Francesca also has a gift for the wedding for you, Your Highness"

Anastasia's head turned to look at Ruth who had opened the window, the spring air immediately flew out a strand of Anastasia's hair. His sparkling face felt warm even though he was in the wind

"Gift?"

Ruth nodded while smiling sincerely at Anastasia.

"I'll ask the waiter to arrange your belongings, while waiting, do you want to see the gift?"

Anastasia quickly nodded. Ruth smiled amusedly as Anastasia directly pulled her hand.

"Where is the prize?"

By allowing Anastasia to tug at his hand, Ruth led their way out of the room.

The view of the bookshelves lined up welcomes the direction of Anastasia's view. His heart warmed up to forget the cold that had rained down on his feelings.

"Her Highness Princess Francesca who made and renovated this old library herself. Then choose and fill in the books that are here, Your Highness" As he stepped in and opened the curtain, Ruth again said. "Her Highness Princess Francesca guarantees if you will not get tired of reading the books here, because Her Highness also fills the shelves with cheap romance novels"

Anastasia's subtle rancor instantly echoed throughout the corner of the library while rubbing the corner of her eyes that were starting to spill. Ruth chuckled as she carried Anastasia's steps behind the other shelves

"Here's where the hard-to-get knowledge books are, Your Highness. While the books on the shelf when welcoming us were just ordinary books and cheap romance novels"

Anastasia was speechless anymore, only her hand continued to rub against the tip of her eye. His mouth felt bad because there was too much haru and gratitude to be said.

Books, is one of the things that was once very difficult for Anastasia to want. A long time ago, Anastasia was very fond of reading but she always had difficulty getting a book especially a book of knowledge. He had even fainted and his waist had to be sewn into a beat when he was caught sneaking quietly inside his father's library.

"Ruth. i-"

With a quivering voice, Anastasia was no longer able to hold back the cry of her day. Ruth quickly grabbed Anastasia's body, which was shaking from sobbing.

Anastasia's voice filled the entire library. The sound of crying full of gratitude, haru, and gratitude so that it feels like the entire contents of Anastasia's chest will melt because of the warm feeling.

"Don't cry, Your Highness..."

TOK TOK TOK

For the umpteenth time Ferdinand harrumphed when the door was knocked back. He was still very sleepy because he had not slept all night, and this was all because of Anastasia! Due to her uneasy and uncomfortable feeling after being rude to Anastasia, she was unable to calm down. And all his bad feelings got worse when Anastasia did not open the door to their room.

TOK TOK TOK

"Your Highness"

"Yes! I'm fucking up! Ck!"

Finally, Ferdinand lifted his body from the bed. Still with his eyes narrowed due to drowsiness, Ferdinand headed to the window that was covered in curtains.

Lazily, Ferdinand flung the red curtain in his room and.... The welcome of the sunlight that was not too bright made Ferdinand immediately open his eyes wide. Damnit damnit! it's afternoon!

In a hurry, Ferdinand headed for his wardrobe to pick up his clothes. Then it sped out the door.

In the corridor, there were two maids who were about to pass by. They immediately lowered their heads when they saw Ferdinand who was in a shaken step walking towards the kitchen.

"Where's Ana?"

Politely the waiter replied

"It's in the park with Ruth, Your Highness"

"Has he had lunch?"

The servant nodded briefly while glancing at each other for a moment

"Her Highness has lunch"

"Ck! why didn't you wake me?"

Ferdinand's slightly raised tone made the butler look down even more.

"Actually Mr. Stefan has woken you up when lunch is ready and when Her Highness is waiting at the dinner table, Your Highness" The waiter searches while to catch his breath, scooping up his courage. "But after a long time of waking up and you don't answer, Her Highness says if you don't disturb your room anymore, because you must be very tired. And Her Highness ended up eating alone first"

Upon hearing the servant's explanation, Ferdinand immediately stepped past them and headed for the garden. The place where Anastasia is.
