"Yeah I still do." Hans said looking into her eyes. He could feel the hotness of his cheeks and thinking about it made his cheeks burn even more. "I thought I was obvious when we made out yesterday."

Dior giggled. Yesterday was the first time she had kissed a boy. "I was just wondering." she said. Hans laid down next to Dior. Luckily they both both fit on the small cot.

"Did you have a crush on me?" He asked.

"Of course I did. I mean I still do." Dior said quietly.

Hans half-smiled at Dior, who was a few inches away from his face. Neither of them cared if a guard walked in. "Do you love me Dior?" Hans asked.

"Yes." she whispered. With that Hans leaned in for a kiss. She put her gentle hands onto his cheek trying not to cause him pain. After a few kisses Hans moved to her neck. He placed four soft kisses on her warm neck. "Do you love me?" she whispered into Hans's ear before kissing him again.

"Definitely." Hans said in between kisses.


Knock, knock. "Enter." Jannik said after taking a sip of his ale.

Nicco entered into Jannik's study. "I have a question." Nicco asked closing the door.

"And I suppose I have the answer to that question. What do you want Nicco?" Jannik said.

"What are we going to do if the princess decides to tell her father about today?" Nicco asked in a passive voice.

"She won't. There's nothing to worry about." he said taking another sip. "Dior knows what we can do to her precious prince and with his royal court date in four days he'll be out of the way."

"Wait, was he part of the plan to marry her?" Nicco asked.

"No. He's just a bump in the road." Jannik said. "And he's making this easier."

"How?" Nicco asked sitting in the chair across from Jannik.

"He already doomed himself. Soon he'll be rotting a jail cell or dead. Out of the way and then I'll swoop in."

Nicco had a confused look on his face. He was a bit slow. Maybe it was because he was blonde or a little drunk. "But didn't you just slap her? I don't see how she will take you back."

"She's stupid. Dior fell in love with a psychopath in two days. I don't care if they were life long friends. Trust me Nicco this plan will work. Her father trusts me. Hell, he trusts me with his fucking life." Jannik said. He gulped down the rest of his drink. "Besides an allie's son, I'm next choice for her husband."


"How was the town Dearie?" asked her father. The family was sitting at their dinning table for supper.

Dior had completely forgot that she lied to her dad. "Great." Dior said, "I wanted to buy things, but I didn't have any money."

"How was Jannik?" her father asked.

She took a few bites of pork. "Delightful." she said though her teeth. Dior had fallen asleep with Hans in his room. Luckily he stayed awake and told her she should do before some guards came.

"Are you excited to wear your dress tomarrow?" Velina asked Dior.

"Yes. I can't wait to dance with Jannik." Dior said sarcastically, but her father didn't notice her tone. "and Hans" But she said that under her breath.

"And I can't wait to see your dress Dior!" said Velina.

"I think tomorrow is going to be great." Dior said squishing her potatoes with her fork.


All night Hans was restless. He couldn't get the thought of Dior out of his mind. He was thinking about her so much Hans didn't care what the guards put him through tomorrow. It all would be worth it once he danced with her. After Friday he would be locked in a cell far from her, but Hans quickly pushed aside the bad thoughts aside.

Hand missed Dior laying next to him, cuddled tight next to him. Her hair smelt like strawberries and her skin was as smooth as velvet. Instead of falling asleep with her, Hans didn't want to fall asleep and miss that moment.
