11 The Princess of the Amaranth (2/2)

'What the heck??! I do not remember him being this handsome.'

Chalice was flustered the more she stared at him. A strange feeling bubbled at the pit of her stomach.

”Heh. Luke has become really handsome. Didn't recognize you there for a moment. I almost kissed you.”

Chalice teased while she winked at him. Hmp, she would never admit to herself that she was affected by this man. She'll tease him until theweird feeling she felt goes away.

However, circumstances just don't go the way it is planned. Chalice saw a suspicious pink slowly coloring the Luke's face to which he coughed awkwardly. She abruptly walked away from him because she felt the heat coming up to her ears down to her neck.

'The hell is this guy blushing about. Now, I'm embarrassed too! Ugh.'

Chalice frantically calmed her erratic heartbeat. And after she made sure that there was not a trace of embarrassment in her face anymore, she turned to the dumbfounded people at her back.

”Aren't you going to let me in? I'm parched. Tea would be a good idea by now.”

She smiled slightly at them. William and Luke seemed to have woken from their stupor.

”Welcome home, Princess.” William said to her after he cleared his throat, still unable to get rid of the previous scenario of the lady teasing Luke.

”I'll have them prepare the tea and snacks, Lady Chalice. Luke will lead you to the drawing room.”

William said as he led them inside. All the while giving Luke furtive glances which the latter intentionally ignored.

”Sir William, I'll go with you. Princess likes the tea that I make.”

Levi hurriedly said as he jogged to William's side. He certainly won't stay with Chalice and Luke. There was an inkling in his heart which warned him that he would surely vomit buckets of blood if went with them.

Chalice threw Levi an amused glance before she turned to William and to Luke.

”Instead of the drawing room, I'd take my tea to the study instead. After you, Luke.”

She gestured followed with a dubious smile,to which the man stiffly nodded and proceeded to walk.

Chalice walked behind him, leaving behind William with an unreadable expression in his face and Levi shaking his head.

This princess of theirs really was a man-chaser.
