Hello, Readers!
This is chapter 2.
Enjoy!
Yona's POV
Marriage!?
For a moment I just stood there and gapped at his smiling face.
I barely kept my composure.
"I'm… very humbled, your highness, but I must decline." I said with a bow.
Prince Su-won was surprised. He eyes widen with curiosity.
The guard beside him laughed loudly and said, " You got rejected."
The Prince smiled. "Well, I told you Hak. She's an interesting girl."
Ah, They must be friends since the Prince used didn't scold him.
He turned his attention back to me, he asked, "Do you already have a lover, Miss yona?"
"No, I do not. "
"Then, if I may ask, why did you decline my proposal?" he asked politely.
"Well, my mother is ill so I must look after her. And I am not suited to be your consort. I am a commoner. Plus, you don't even know me," I replied frankly.
And I don't really know you.
" I can pay your medical bill and bring her to the palace's doctors. And we have teachers who can teach you all the things you need to know. Also," he paused and bashfully continued, " I would love like to get to know you."
He slightly blushed and adverted his green eyes from me.
He looked kind of cute.
My cheeks felt warm, and I looked away.
There's only one person who would know what to do.
"Let me talk to my mom first." I finally said.
The prince's face lighten up. "Let's go together!"
"Okay…"
I lead the way to my house with the prince beside me and Hak behind us.
We walked passed the million-dollar houses and passed the standardized middle-class houses.
"You know your hair color is very beautiful..like the blush of dawn.". he said as he lifted up a lock of my unruly red curly hair.
I have always hated my unusual red hair. It's not neat or pretty, and it's too red. But when he said that, I started to like it.
"Ah, thank you, your highness", I humbly said. I was about to say something but-
"Are we here?" Hak asked nonchalantly.
I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yep, we're here."
The house that I live in is a very small red cottage.
Eh?
On the door there are two slashes that form a 'X'.
That's weird..
The guys also seemed concerned.
Hake and the Prince looked at each other.
"Perhaps it's better if I go first," Hak said, going in front of us.
Neither Su-won, nor I, disagreed.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling about this.
My stomach churned as he the doorknob slowly to open the door.
It should be locked. Mom always lock the door.
But it's not. The door opened, and a wave of air blew against my face.
Goosebumps climbed my arms, and pessimist thoughts evaded my mind.
Is mom okay?
What if she's hurt?
What if she's gone?
I pushed the the thoughts away.
Maybe she's fine.
I held my breath
And we went inside.
