Chapter 265 - Prince Andrew P1 (1/2)
Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Main Castle, 1st Prince Quarters, Southern Wing -
”Andrew, I've come back,” a sweet famine voice filled the room. It belonged to his fiancee, Gabrielle. She scanned the room and bowed, ”I apologize, did I disturb your meeting?”
”You did not.”
The others looked like they wanted to say something. But Andrew was not having it. He genuinely had a headache; he didn't want to deal with them anymore. He walked over to Gabrielle and pulled her into his arms. ”Andrew? You must be very tired.”
”I shall be fine soon.”
To the others, the two of them would look like a loving couple, but the two of them knew better. In seconds the people who he was having a stressful meeting with quickly left the room.
”You can let go now; they are gone.”
”What if I don't let go?”
At that comment, Andrew watched as Gabrielle's face color turned red. 'How amusing,' Andrew thought. Usually, his wife candidate is so cold-hearted. But occasionally she would blush and get embarrassed. Andrew let's go of her, and a relieved sigh passed her lips. Is she relieved because she hated it? Or because of her embarrassment?
”I made you some refreshments. Let's eat.”
Andrew nodded, ”Very well.”
In a matter of seconds, Gabrielle has everything set up. He's always liked how efficient she is. Unlike most women in the upper class, Gabrielle does not abuse her title. She's a genuine lady.
”Did you bring her back?”
”Yes,” Gabrielle trailed off, and she explained the situation.
His gaze darkened, and he called out. ”Senra.” A man with long grey hair stepped out from behind the bookshelf. ”Ensure my sister stays put.”
”Andrew…”
”That reckless girl, I've told her to rest. It's winter; her body will be in a poorer state.”
”Andrew, I think you should tell your Mother to lift Lyn's ban.”
”...It is unlike you to say this, did you not agree with me before?”
”That I did. However, I believe Lyn will be just fine with those two with her side.”
”I'll consider it,” Andrew mumbled.
”Is my Lord considering it because of me?”
”Yes.”
A tender smile appeared on Gabrielle's face, and Andrew paused. This was a first, no maybe recently something has changed between him and Gabrielle. Andrew stood up and made his way over. He sat down on the seat beside her.
Gabrielle blinked surprised, ”Is something wrong, my lord?”
”I'm tired.”
Soft laughter passed her lips, ”Then may I offer you my lap?”
”That will suffice.”
Andrew shifted his position until he was sat down on the girl's lap. ”Gabrielle,” Andrew mumbled.
”Yes my Lord?”
”Are you available tomorrow?”
”I am my Lord, is there an event?” Gabrielle asked.
”No,” Andrew shook his head. ”I wish to spend some time with you.”
The girl seemed surprised - and he could see it. ”Is that an issue?”
Gabrielle shook her head, ”I'm pleased. Are you sick? Your acting very kind today.”
