Chapter 88 A Late Night Visi (1/2)

A while after dinner I retired to my room to get ready for sleep. Tricia has prepared my night gown so I have changed in them.

”Do you have any other orders, princess?” Tricia asked.

”I'm good Tricia.” I smiled. ”You go and get some rest as well.”

”Thank you your highness. Then I will retire now.” Tricia bowed and left the room. She slowly closed the doors.

I sat down on one side of my bed and took a book from my bed side table. I am not yet sleepy so I continue to read the novel that I was reading before.

After some time I heard a light noise in my balcony. My heart raced a little.

'What if it is an intruder?' I thought to my self.

Luckily I have a knife hidden under my pillow. After my kidnapping, I have always armed my self with small weapons that can be concealed.

”Don't worry...” A familiar voice of a man said. ”It's me.”

”Leon!?” My tense muscles relaxed after hearing his voice. A smile crept from my face. ”You've come.”

I quickly stood up and raced towards him. Regaleon's arms was spread wide waiting to welcome me into his embrace.

”Sorry I wasn't able to join you for dinner.” Regaleon said with an apologetic voice.

”Mmm.” I shook my head. ”No need to worry. Your work is always important.”

I burry my face into his chest. I smell his familiar scent that it made me calm. It smelled like home. He was my home.

”You are more important to me.” Regaleon said. ”That's why I came here to visit you, even though it was late.”

I giggled. ”Father will scold you if he knew you visited me in the middle of the night. And not to mention in my balcony.”

”Haha, forget the formalities. What's important is that I can spoil my bride to be.” Regaleon said with a chuckle.

Regaleon opened his huge cape and drape me in it. It was big that it can accommodate the both of us.

”Aren't you cold?” Regaleon asked.

I shook my head. With him hugging me, how can I be cold.

We were watching the stars while sitting on the ledge. Regaleon's back was on the wall while he was hugging me in front, between his legs. We were like this for some time in the balcony.

”How did your work go?” I asked.

”Hmm, good.” Regaleon answered neutrally.

”Is it something that I cannot ask about?” I asked.

Being the crown prince, I know he has some matters that he cannot discuss with me.

”For now.” Regaleon answered. ”But after we are officially engaged, I can tell you about it.”

”Then I hope that I can help you in the future.” I said. As the crown princess and Regaleon's better half, I want to be of help to him in any ways possible.

”I have no doubt in your capabilities.” Regaleon said. ”After all, I was your tutor. Remember?”

My heart thumped. I am happy that he can trust me and believes in my abilities.

”Yes, you're the best tutor I have ever had.” I giggled. ”Not to mention, the strictest.” Regaleon chuckled as a reply.

Regaleon lightly caressed my cheeks. I looked at his dark blue eyes, and it was twinkling like sapphire gems under the moonlight.

”Can I...” I contemplated if I want to continue.
