Chapter 153 Mother’s Memento (2/2)
”Greetings princess, your highness.” Tricia bowed down to greet us. ”I have brought the medicine for the princess' wound.”
”Leave it here. I will be the one to tend to your princess' wound.” Regaleon ordered.
”Yes your highness.” Tricia placed the tray of medicine and bandages on the table and left the room.
Regaleon took some cotton and put alcohol in it. ”Here, let me.”
”O-Okay.” I felt shy in an instant.
Who would have thought that a crown prince of a powerful would tend to my wounds carefully? Once the cotton landed on my wound, I felt a sting.
”Hsss.” I hissed with the pain.
”Bear with it for a while.” Regaleon said gently.
After disinfecting my wound with alcohol, Regaleon got the cotton suave and put some medicine on it and carefully put the medicine on my wound. It stung at first and then it felt cold. After that the area of the wound became numb and the pain was gone.
”Does it still hurt?” Regaleon asked.
”Not anymore.” I said.
”That's good.” Regaleon smiled and put the cotton suave down on the tray.
Regaleon got some bandages and put it on my wound gently. After that he gently pulled my head and planted a kiss on my forehead. My heart started beating rapidly. Regaleon's every sweet action tickles my heart.
”You are already wearing it.” Regaleon exclaimed.
”Hmm, what?” I was taken by surprise by his sentence. I was in my own world just now, savoring Regaleon's sweet actions.
”This.” Regaleon held up my left hand. In my ring finger was the engagement ring he gave me, the one that once belonged to his mother.
”Yes.” I smiled. ”Now that we are officially engaged, I thought it was okay to wear it.”
The real reason is because these past few days, my cousin prince Gladiolus has been visiting me every morning. He was tagging it as a 'courtesy visit' and says that he visits my siblings as well. But I can feel his gaze towards me has a deeper meaning. I know that he knows I am already engaged to Regaleon but I still need to show him further proof.
”It looks good on you.” Regaleon's sweet smile warms my heart.
”Come to think of it, I want to also give you something.” I said.
I raised my hands towards the back of my neck and unhooked the necklace which was always with me. I put the pendant and the necklace on my palm and presented it to Regaleon.
”You are always wearing this necklace, right?” Regaleon looked at me questioningly.
”Yes. This was my deceased mother's memento to me. I want you to have it.” I said. I opened his palm and slowly put the necklace on top.
Regaleon examined the necklace carefully. ”Are you sure you want me to have this? I mean, this was your mother's memento.”
”I also have your mother's memento with me.” I showed the ring I was wearing. ”Let's just say we exchanged.” I smiled sweetly at him.
”Okay.” Regaleon smiled as well. ”I promise to safeguard it for the rest of my life.”
”I will safeguard this as well, for the rest of my life.” I was holding up my hand with the finger on.
It felt like Regaleon and I were exchanging our solemn vows. I guess it will be like this on our wedding day. Just the thought of it made me smile and a warm feeling crept all over my body.
