11 Chapter 10 - Fine (2/2)

Ryota listened to her attentively, and understood her position very well. Even though Ryota was the prince it didn't give him any excuse to be abused. His father tried to shape him into the perfect son, the perfect prince, the perfect heir. Ryota never shows his true personality in front of his father, only friends and family, and now her.

She laughs as she drags her fingers through her luscious hair, ”I guess that I can't do this anymore. You've discovered me and I know you won't let me leave.”

Ryota nods his head, ”Nope, definitely won't. But I have an idea, let's get engaged.”

He sees her stumble and almost fall off the bed, ”Why?”

”Well, Hood will be engaged to me, you won't. What my plan is for you, now, to try and figure out anyone trying to go against my throne. No one would believe someone as weak as you will be snooping around for the prince. When you reach marriageable age we'll marry and everyone will know who you truly are.”

”And if I say no?”

Miyu gave off this arrogant aura, showing that she's considering rejection.

”Well, then I'll tell everyone now.”

”They'll know it's me later.”

”But we'll be married, so no one will be able to hurt you if they want to cross me. We can't get engaged now because people will bully you and won't let you near them if they're plotting. Also, hood and I will be engaged in secret and it will only be told to certain people so they'll stop pestering me about marrying. So, you in?”

”It sounds pretty nice, ” Miyu says, tapping her fingers along her cheek, thinking. She glances back up to Ryota and studies him throughly.

”Fine.”
