74 DIY: How to make a sweet romance story into a Yandere 1 (1/2)

Prince Albert POV

I ran desperately to find the only one who could help me, but once I got in front of the building I stopped.

What am I doing? She just said she wanted nothing with us and here am I running to her...

But if I don't get an answer, I won't be able to see Julia...

S*it! To hell with that! Worse that can happen is another slap... right?

I walked with not so much confidence into the building, thinking about what I could offer the woman inside.

Cecile POV

I looked conflicted to the royal seal stamped beside IP's mark.

I was planning to take it off since I already said to Prince Albert that I won't deal with any bulls*it more from his family, but mother came here after knowing of my visit just to ask for me to not proceed with it.

Her argument is people will think we and the Royal Family cut ties, what is partially true, however, it will cause massive unrest in the people who are already terrified with the prospects of a battle. It also may cause a political party against the Royal Family, and it's needless to say how dangerous this is.

I understand all the repercussions, but it just doesn't feel right.

Uurghhhh!

I can already see Albert smirking and calling me a hypocrite.

IT. MAKES. ME. SO. MAD.

While I was thinking how much I wanted to slap that pretty face again, I heard a commotion outside and before either me or Leo could get up to see what was happening the door opened.

”You can't enter!”

The pretty face that I was dreaming of slapping appeared in front of me. I had to blink a few times to register the reality.

Albert sat down in front of my table while Mary looked exasperated. I could see Leo getting up to drag this trash out and.

I looked at Leo and shook my head. There's no way Leo can contend with Albert. I could see all my Knights in the floor blackout. Leo, who understood my meaning, still came to my table and stood beside me.

This stupid loyalty sure is lovely.

”I need to talk to you”

”But I don't”

”I see you realized you can openly cut ties with us. Why be stubborn?”

”Mary, try to catch with mother's carriage and ask Theo to come back”

”Yes, Miss!”

”You know he won't be able to take me out”

”Still unseen”

I ignored the man in front of me and looked through the rest of the reports left. Although his presence was upsetting, I couldn't actually do anything with my punny strength and Leo's.

”Cecile, I really need your help”

'Whatevs~'

*scrib, scrib*

”I can give you whatever you want”

'I want you to cram far away from here'

*scrib, scrib*

”I'll make your life a living hell”

'Let's see who makes the better hell then~'

*scrib, scrib*

”I-I am sorry”

'You-'

I finally stopped working and put my pen down to look at the prince in front of me. Did I hear right?

The egomaniac, overbearing and arrogant Prince Albert just say he was wrong?

I looked outside, but the sun was in the right place. Sick?

I once again looked at Albert. But what I saw completely scared the s*it out of me.

Mommy, I'm scared!!!Albert is doing a scary thing with his eyes!

So, so scary. Please stop this.

But not only stopped it grew even worse.

Tears that were only filling his eyes started to spill. For Christ sakes, what should I do?
