Chapter 117 - Anything Might Happen (1) (2/2)

Eunice asked.

Acerus seemed to have a hard time to even stand still. He was in a basic pose to show off his pecs but his body was trembling and he looked like he was about to collapse.

“I’m okay, this much injury is nothing. A warrior shouldn’t be afraid of getting hurt.”

“But you’re the Crown Prince.”

“Pardon?”

“You, of all people, should be afraid of getting hurt. You’re the one who should shoulder the Tarragon Empire. Weren’t you taught that your body is not yours alone?”

Nagging words poured out of Eunice’s mouth. Acerus looked at her curiously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Eunice, are you worried?”

“No.”

“I think you are.”

“No way. You’re a warrior. You shouldn’t be afraid of getting hurt. That much injury would be nothing to you.”

“Because my body is not mine alone.”

Acerus smiled proudly, returning what Eunice had said. He had a face as if daring her to nag at him again.

Eunice’s lips curled.

“As a delegate of Hautean, I wish you a speedy recovery. I will take my leave.”

“Where are you going?”

“My business here is over.”

“Well, mine is not yet.”

Acerus grabbed Eunice’s arm as she was about to go out. Then, he spoke in a solemn and low voice.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“I have nothing to say.”

“Did I do anything wrong that night? I don’t really remember, but didn’t we…hit it off?”

“You don’t remember?”

Eunice asked. Acerus smiled contentedly when he realized that, unlike him, she remembered what had happened that night.

“Eunice, so we…”

“It ended just as a one-night stand.”

“Pardon?”

“Why should we repeat something that you can’t even remember? I’m already satisfied, so let’s forget about it at this point. Let’s not get all clingy.”

Unlike Acerus, Eunice did not seem to have any regrets at all. She even warned him not to hang on to her.

Acerus grabbed Eunice and said.

“I remembered. You said you liked my pecs.”

Eunice’s eyes widened.

“Why do you only remember that?”

“I was taught to forget insults and remember only compliments.”

“Who taught you that?”

“My dad.”

What the hell did the Emperor of this country teach his son?

While Eunice was stunned, Acerus spoke again.

“We did things out of order. I will ask for a proper relationship this time, would that be okay?”

“What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as a proper order between man and woman. Who decided that?”

“Then what do you want me to do? If you’re going to tell me not to get clingy, why are you even visiting me in the first place?”

“Didn’t I already tell you that I’m here on behalf of the delegation?”

It was such a strange thing. Acerus had so much dating experience that he was called the best playboy in the Empire, and Eunice was a person who enjoyed free relationships so much that there was no one she had not met in Hautean. When those two met, everything creaked from the beginning to the end.
