What he said totally surprised me. I don't know what to say! I know exactly what he meant by that.

I can’t believe that the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom, the prim and proper Prince like him does know jokes like that.

I just looked at him and raised my eyebrows. Even when I am trying not to look like I am affected by his stare and words, I just couldn't.

It bothers me and it sends chills down to my spine. He relaxes his body and gave me a meaningful smile. "Don't worry, you won't die if I eat you," then he licks his lower lip.

I stood up, feeling flustered. "I'm done eating," and I hate myself for not even thinking of something to say. I am thrilled, offended... and ugh! Why do I feel like my knees are getting weak or something?

”Hmm, did you at least enjoyed your meal with me?” he asked me in a raspy tone as he puts down his fork and knife.

I looked at him with my eyes widening a bit. Trying to stop me from saying something. ”I’m going to my room now, ” I hissed at him and didn't wait for him to say something anymore and just turned my back to leave the room.

I put him in the guest room, the room was big and there is a mini kitchen there. Not that I am planning to lock him there forever. For now, I just really need to keep him there until I figured things.

I went to my room here and sent a message to Addison asking her for an update if she already told my parents that I will not be home tonight.

Addison:

They thought you just want some vacation or need some time to think because of what happened.

That was her reply to me.

I just sat in bed trying to think of possible plans until I fall asleep.

I woke up the next morning, still exhausted. I slept not being able to come up with a good plan and the thought of it is exhausting my entire body. My brain is going to explode already.

I went to the bathroom to take a bath and prepare for breakfast. I think I need to eat and relax so I could think of what I am going to do with the crown prince.

I think it's better if I should just bring him back to the palace but it will surely going to put my entire family into other problems, issues. Especially that I messed up with the Crown Prince.

I wore a pink spaghetti strap and partnered with black jogging pants. Since we are just inside this mansion, I think it would be better if I just wear clothes that I am comfortable with.

Wearing my bunny slippers, I walked down to the staircase to the kitchen. I’ll ask Melinda to cook something sweet for me. I really crave sweets every time I feel stressed and Melinda knew what kind of delicacies I usually eat.

Feeling cheerful because of the thought that I could relax for some hours before dealing with Prince Jacques again, I put a smile on my lips as I continue walking.

”Good morning, sleepyhead...” I almost jumped out when I heard the familiar voice now of Prince Jacques. He’s sitting on the couch and not shameful to even put his feet in the coffee table.

What is he doing here?!

I thought I left him last night in the guest's room? I look at his ankle and it’s still tied up. I guess they just moved him here?

”What are you doing here?” I asked, my forehead creases a bit. He shrugged off his shoulder before he took a sip from his teacup.

”Melinda said it’s better if I'm here, ” he said with a smile on his lips before he pats the couch. ”Want to join me here?” he asked and the jerk here even flashes a warm smiling that I find annoying.

He’s not even causing any problem but I’m getting annoyed by how calm and proper he is. It’s as if it doesn't really matter if he got kidnapped by me!

”I let him come down, Kia...” said Melinda from behind me before she continued walking and place some plate of cookies to the table in front of Prince Jacques. ”Enjoy your cookies, your highness...” my jaw went down and I looked at Melinda with disbelief. She looks back at me and raised her eyebrows. ”The crown prince looks lonely inside the guest's room, he needs to at least enjoy his stay here.” and I think Melinda here is trying to treat Prince Jacques right because he is still his Highness.

I just bit my lower lip and rolled my eyes. I guess there's nothing wrong with it because he’s not even trying to escape. Plus he is still in chains.

”Do you want to eat breakfast with me?” He suddenly asked.

Melinda stood up straight and tried to compose herself. ”The breakfast is already prepared, ” she said and looked at me. ”I prepared some chocolates for you, ” and then she smiled at me.

I pouted my lips.

I feel grateful that she actually really thought of me.

”Quit calling me your Highness, Melinda, and be comfortable to just call me by my name.” Prince Jacques said as he looks up at Melinda.

”That would be disrespectful, your Highness. I would be more comfortable if I'd address you in a proper way.” she bowed her head.

Prince Jacques is actually a lot nicer and cooler than Jackson. If Jackson were here, he’d definitely going to boss around Melinda.

I smiled a bit.

Even though he’s a bit of playful and jerk last night, I guess he really is a good guy and my judgment of him was just because of my annoyance and stress.

”I’m cool to eat breakfast with you, ” I said, interrupting their conversation.

He looked at me and smiled.

”I’ll prepare the table then young miss and your Highness, ” said Melinda and she left us alone.

I should be thinking of plans, but here I am, going to eat breakfast with my problem.
