4 Chapter 4: Living With The Ruthless Prince? (2/2)

”But at least she's a titled princess, what good can come from being engaged to a castaway?” Ivery sighed

”Regardless of your title, you still have royal blood, meaning you are more than qualified to be my wife” Luther smiled at Ivery

”If title matters so much to you then even if you're not a recognized princess of the Lilith Kingdom, you'll become a princess of Fresia once we are married” Luther rubbed her head

Ivery thought it over and came to the conclusion that maybe this is the path she needs to go down if she wants to change Princess Inanna's fate. But regardless she wasn't going to turn down Prince Luther, all she had to do was live with him and marry him, she'd have to be on the edge of insanity if she refused a handsome prince that wanted her hand in marriage.

”If I do agree to this, you absolutely can't kill me” Ivery said

”I was never planning on killing you” Luther laughed

”Phew, okay good..” Ivery breathed a sigh of relief, she avoided death's door...for now

”Now that it's settled, how about we get you cleaned up, you have to look presentable if you're going to be my wife” Luther's eyes looked at her matted blonde hair

”Alright” Ivery nodded

”Are you planning to sit on me all day or are you going to get up” Luther smiled

”Oh sorry!” Ivery felt so embarrassed, she got too carried away earlier, some reason her awareness ceases to exist when she's around him, her awareness was so depleted that she had the audacity to sit on the Crown Prince!

Ivery slowly got off of Luther and sat on the bed. She watched Luther get up and leave the room and as soon as he exited the room, it felt cold and empty. With a room this enormous and only occupied by one person, you'd definitely feel lonely.

Ivery turned her head when the doors opened and three maids walked in the room. Ivery noticed the terrified look on their faces, she figured Luther ordered them to come, and probably threatened their lives while he was at it.

The maids grabbed Ivery and took her out of the room. They all hastily walked down the endless halls and brought Ivery into a private bathing area, for a bathing area, it was tremendously huge. The ceiling was higher than anything she could've imagined, and the bath seeming like a over extended pool, the steam that was being emitted from the hot water covered the entire room.

The maids requested her to take off her clothing and get into the water. She did exactly as they requested and took off her dirty white dress. She cautiously stepped into the hot water and sat down. She felt pleasurably relaxed and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt her hair being grabbed and felt it being brushed, the brush got stuck at some knots in her hair and the maids forcefully brushed through it, causing much pain to Ivery.

Flinching at the painful detangling of her hair, the maids then lathered her hair with soap and massaged it into her scalp. Bubbles were everywhere, the maid took a medium sized wooden bucket and dipped it in the water, then the maid poured the water over Ivery's head, washing all of the bubbles away.

The maid brushed through her hair again and this time the brush went through easily, the maid poured some oil's into Ivery's hair and massaged it into her scalp. The maid grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off Ivery's split ends.

The maids directed Ivery to sit on a stool, Ivery did as requested and sat down. They scrubbed her body down and made sure that every single part of her body was cleaned off. Her skin felt smooth to the touch. The second maid washed Ivery's face and rubbed some sort of cream on her face. They wrapped a towel around Ivery's wet hair and wrapped a towel around her body and took her to a dressing room near the bathing area.

Ivery dried herself until the maids came back with a beautiful burgundy dress, the floral designs on the dress made it look more elegant and pleasing to the eye.

”Oh my god!” Ivery shouted as the maids squeezed Ivery in a corset

This was her first time wearing a corset and she hoped it would be her last. The corset was so tight she could've sworn her ribcage was about to break. They put the dress on Ivery and fixed her hair. Ivery sat down and let them put a shiny pair of red heels on her feet.

Ivery tried to stand up in the heels but she had no experience wearing them, in her world all she wore were boots and sneakers. The maids helped her walk as they led her out of the dressing room, they took her back to Luther's bedroom and left her in the vacant room.

She aimlessly walked around the room, trying to get used to the heels. She stumbled when she tried her best to walk straight and fell backwards. Her life flashed before her eyes as she lost her footing, but suddenly she felt a strong pair of hands grab her before her head hit the floor. She looked up and saw..

”Prince...Luther”

”What were you doing?” Luther raised an eyebrow

”Walking around...” Ivery nervously chuckled

”Can you stand?” Luther asked

”Yes” Ivery got out of Luther's hold and turned around to face him

Luther scanned her and nodded his head in approval. He stepped forward and pulled her closer to him, he ran his fingers straight through her straight silky hair. She looked up at him and without warning he pressed his lips against hers.

He kissed her again!?
