Chapter 266 - The Village by the Border (1) (2/2)
My heart felt a little pinch from William's words. He was always with me when I was in Jennovia as a hostage and he did that all with sincerity towards me. I know that he still has feelings for me, and I cannot but feel guilty to let him still stay by my side now that Regaleon and I are together again.
'I need to talk to Will after all of this is over.' I told myself. I do not want to take him for granted.
”By the way, where is Leon?” I looked around searching for him.
”His majesty came down before you.” Mother was the one to reply to my question. ”He just went out for a while with Dimitri. He will be back soon.”
By then we heard the front door open.
”Well speaking of the devil.” Mother giggled when she saw my face brighten up when Regaleon arrived.
”You are done freshening up?” Regaleon walked straight towards me and scooped me into his arms. He gave a peck on my forehead.
”Y-Yes… sorry to keep you waiting.” I felt embarrassed with Regaleon's sudden closeness. ”What are you doing? We are not alone.” I whispered to him feeling awkward.
”They are practically family.” Regaleon whispered back. ”And judging with there faces, they probably think we have done the 'deed' last night.” He said playfully.
I was surprised with what Regaleon said but I doubted that mother and the others will think such things. I glanced towards Dimitri and William and they had awkwardness etched on their faces. They were trying to avert their eyes from us. My mother on the other hand was smiling broadly.
'W-What the heck were they thinking?' I thought to myself.
”Well they probably heard our m.o.a.ns.” Regaleon whispered. ”Well, the walls in this house are thin so the sounds would have been heard.” He chuckled.
I was filled with embarrassment that my face felt like it was burning. I was irritated with Regaleon that he was still adding fuel to their imagination.
”Stop that!” I scolded him and hit his chest.
”Hahahaha…” Regaleon laughed out loudly that made me more irritated. ”Sorry, I did not mean to irritate you my love.” He took my hand and kissed it.
My irritation quickly faded with Regaleon's sweet gesture. Now I am irritated with myself. I cannot believe that I can be coaxed this easily. My irritation towards Regaleon was replaced with my heart thumping for this man I love.
”If you are ready, let us eat breakfast first. And then I will take you out to look round the village.” Regaleon said with a sweet smile.
”Y-Yes.” I answered. I cannot believe that I am still feeling fl.u.s.tered with the sweet gestures given by Regaleon. Even after this many years, I still feel like a little girl in love.
”Your highness, your majesty, breakfast is served.” I heard a familiar voice. When I looked around, I was surprised to see a person that I was not able to see for long.
”Tricia…” I saw the personal maid who was with me since I was young. She was like an older sister to me.
”Your highness. It is good to see again.” Tricia said with a tearful smile.
I walked towards her and hugged her in an instant.
”I missed you, Tricia.” I said with tears falling from my eyes.
”Me too princess.” Tricia said while crying as well. ”I was worried about you all these years.”
