Antagonists Want to Be Happy too
30

No one knew what Dylan and Ana were talking about in the carriage, as all the guards escorting Dylan were waiting outside.

"All these cakes will be on display at His Majesty's birthday party tomorrow night."

"Owh..."

Dylan went back into silence, upon seeing Ana's usual response, as if Ana was completely uninterested in what she was currently talking about.

"The present I gave you this morning is the costume you're going to wear at the show, but why did you refuse it?"

Ana did not answer herself just focused on looking out the window, which was showing how crowded the market was at the time.

"Didn't you hear me?" ask Dylan again.

"No! I very clearly heard your words Prince."

"If it is like that? Then why won't you look at me?"

Ana clenched her hands again, looking back at Dylan's face, who was also staring at her.

"Because I no longer deserve to wear, a gift from you Prince," replied Ana.

"I'm really not worthy, because... I'm the evil woman who once harmed your special friend Prince."

"Steers..."

"Jagan called me Teri prince," Ana answered Dylan's words with her head turned back to the front.

"Call me Miss Ronan, because we're not as close as we used to be, I hope you understand that" said Ana who immediately lowered her head.

Dylan's hands clenched tightly to Ana's words, even his eyes never separated from Ana's face which still showed dislike.

"What... You're so mad at me right now?" dylan asked with eyes fixed on Ana's face.

"There will be no way I dare to red on you Prince, "Anna replied with her head still lowered.

"You are a very dignified person who I need to respect with all my heart, whereas to me, I am only a lowly woman who has been expelled from the capital, for the charge of harming Miss Kalika."

The deg!

Like being struck by lightning even his body was frozen when Ana issued words that made her heart hurt, what kind of evil she was to Teri first, until Ana did not want to look at him.

"I want to apologize" Dylan said regretfully.

"I really want to apologize to you," Dylan gently touched Ana's cold hand, making Ana instantly become dumbfounded at Dylan's gentle behavior.

"Prince..."

"Can't you really forgive me? And we're back to what we used to be?"

The deg!

Ana's heart was beating very fast, feeling a breath so different from usual, like there were insects tickling her body even she was just ordinary resigned when Dylan had dared to touch her hand.

Nah! Can't, like this? why, why? my body became like this? Remember Ana is your current goal for revenge.

The srek!

With her eyes still wide open, Ana again pulled her hand slowly, her breathing also came up and down as she felt the heat around her body.

"Sorry Prince, it seems to be able to go back to how it used to be so hard for me to do."

"What! Why?" dylan asked in a very sad tone.

"The shop can't, and I don't want to go back either" Ana replied firmly.

"What?"

"Don't confuse me Prince, your gentle attitude like this should not be shown to me this evil."

"Steer!" dylan began to get angry.

"Prince... For the last time I ask you, don't see me again" Ana said with a smiling face.

Ana lowered her head again, "If there's nothing else we need to talk about, I'll excuse myself."

Dylan's eyes immediately opened wide when he saw Ana who wanted to open the door of the horse carriage, but before that happened Dylan without a second thought directly hugged Ana's body from behind, which made Ana instantly become frozen with her eyes wide open.

"Pa... Prince.." said Ana stammered.

"Don't go" whispered Dylan in Ana's ear.

"What have you done, Prince?" peekik Ana's.

Instead of Dylan taking off his embrace on Ana, he hugged Ana even more tightly, making Ana who got such behavior can only be silent with her heart that continues to beat fast.

"I'm sorry, but... Why do you keep moving away from me?"

Ana just silent herself does not know what to say, on the other hand she feels happy Dylan still likes Teri but on the other hand Ana instead feels that at this time she should not be like this.

"Prince... You shouldn't be acting like this to me" said Ana, who slowly removed Dylan's embrace from her.

"I've told you, that at this time I am not the Miss Ronan you used to know, you've thrown me away! that means you've forgotten me too."

"No! I haven't forgotten you!"

"Huh? Only now you say something like this? Where have you been before? Even when I call your name, you don't come."

Not wanting Ana to leave again, Dylan quickly touched Ana's hand that felt so cold.

"I admit that I was wrong at the time, even I felt so guilty about not protecting you!"

With teary eyes, Ana gently brushed aside Dylan's hand that was still holding her hand.

"Just now you feel guilty, I really don't understand your attitude Prince," Ana said with her head shaking softly, "That's how you apologize, huh... Apologizing is easy for the Prince, but forgetting is hard!"

"Steer!"

Ana immediately turned her face away from Dylan, not knowing what to respond to him anymore, her heart was so sick that she realized that Dylan could easily turn things around.

My heart hurts, is this how Teri feels when dealing with Dylan?

"My prince reminds you again, don't call me Teri, because we're not as close as we used to be, call me Miss Ronan, that's just a suitable call for you to use," said Ana smiling kindly.

In the empire calling a name with a title is an honor, or it can also be aimed at people who just know more to be precise for people who are not too close, whereas for people who dare to call nicknames without any title or family name then it can be known they are so familiar with each other, or it could be because they get approval to call each other's nicknames.

"Well... It seems there is nothing more we need to talk about Prince if once I resign first, hopefully the event is _"

Grap!

Again Dylan again touched Ana's hand making himself again made in shock with Dylan's behavior.

"Maybe this is a little pushy, Miss Ronan on behalf of the imperial family, I request that you be present tomorrow night at an event already made by the empire!" dylan said seriously.

With her eyes wide open, Ana immediately showed a warm smile to Dylan who was still staring at her intently, "Well if it's an order from you Prince," Ana replied.
