Chapter 36 Results of my training (2/2)
”Then you would rather become a duchess?” Leon asked. I was awoken from my reverie with Leon's voice. I looked at him with confusion, his face was dark and cold.
”Were you just thinking about him?” Leon said with a cold voice.
”What do you mean?” I asked confused. 'Did he know I was thinking of prince Regaleon? Is he a mind reader or something?' I thought.
”Were you thinking of young lord William?” Leon said with his cold and chilling voice.
”No, of course not.” I answered.
”Then why were you daydreaming just now?” Leon asked.
”You just mentioned being a queen and I just thought I only know two crown princes. And one of them is my younger brother.” I said.
”Oh, okay.” Leon was looking amused. ”So who were you day dreaming of?” His lips curved up into a smile.
”I was just thinking of prince Regaleon. And I was not daydreaming.” I said with an irritated tone. 'Did it look like I was day dreaming?' I wondered.
Leon's smile widened more. I was confused 'Why would he be amused about me thinking of the crown prince of Grandcrest?'
”Is that so? So what do you think of the crown prince Regaleon?” Leon asked curiously.
I looked at him surprised. 'Is he jealous? But if he is why is he smiling like that. He is weird.' I thought.
When I was about to answer I heard someone shouting my name.
”Alicia Roselyn Von Heist!” The voice was glass breaking. It echoed inside my body, down to my bones and into the core of my being.
When I looked where the voice was coming from I saw my stepmother, the queen, rushing towards me. I also see my two elder sisters following her from behind. Elizabeth has a bandage on her left cheek.
”You filthy whore!” My stepmother raised her hand ready to slap me.
I ready myself to take the blow. But I was shocked to see what had happened next. I blocked my stepmother's hand with my own hand.
She looked at me in surprise. I can't blame her, I am also surprised myself. My reflexes just kicked in.
'Is this the result of my training?' I thought to myself.
