"You're enjoying your time with the Prince?"

Enjoy time with the prince? Isn't it obvious I'd rather spend time with Veronica? And, shouldn't he have gone home with Anastasia?

"Aren't you supposed to have gone home with Anastasia?" I asked and he started to snort and took his eyes off me.

"Heh... Why? You don't want me to interrupt your precious time with your Prince?" His words insinuate me, which makes me dislike and annoyed at his words.

"What do you care? After all you also have a wife who is prettier and younger than me, why else would you interfere in my affairs?" my reply and from the look on his face, he seems to be upset.

Seen from the look of his netra that looks cooler, his jaw also looks more clearly printed with his face that emits an aura of annoyance.

Reading faces was my specialty long ago, I could easily tell how the mood they were hiding behind the expressions they showed.

Hmph! She thought I would just be quiet like a frail and weak woman when she was insinuating like that?

It's not that easy, Fergus!

"Even if you are my first wife, you should be able to keep your attitude as Duchess in front of anyone."

It seems like he doesn't want to lose arguing with me. Alright, I will serve you, honorable Lord Duke!

"Also you must also keep your attitude as Duke in front of anyone. What do people think of a Duke with two wives?"

He then walked quickly towards me and eroded the distance between us. Even my back has touched the wall because it keeps cornering me.

He looked down at me, and I looked up at him.

"Don't lure me, Cassandra."

The blue net that was looking at me sharply like a predator that was about to pounce on its prey, plus the emphasis when he mentioned my name, did not make me tremble to return his gaze with a sharp gaze.

There was actually a bit of fear inside me, but I had to hide it all behind the calm look of my face so that I didn't look like a weak woman.

"I'm not fishing for you, I'm just telling you the truth" I replied. "Didn't you think about your reputation before you married Anastasia?" I continued to make him unable to say anything to reply to my words.

"But if you really love Anastasia, I can't do anything either" I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Even you didn't think about how I felt when you married Anastasia, did you? Then, why should I bother thinking about how you feel when I'm close to the Prince?"

"Well I talk to him, want me to be in love with him, it's not business-"

Bugh!

My body jerked along with my eyeballs widened as he punched the palace wall right next to my head. I was really shocked and didn't expect him to do something like that.

Am I overreacting to the point that he's like that? But didn't he start first? So technically, I'm not wrong!

Fortunately, there were no guards around. Somewhere, they suddenly disappeared like a chameleon in camouflage.

"If this isn't a public place, I'll attack you right now and make you unable to walk tomorrow!"

I could feel all the fur on my back standing up, I was stunned as his soft words threatened to pierce my hearing.

Before long, the train I was waiting for finally arrived. He then distanced himself from me, making me at least be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He then walked up the train. Wait a minute, isn't that supposed to be my train?

"Well, or do you want to linger here with the Prince?" It should piss me off and piss me off.

Ah shit, then I have to be with him on a long journey?! And, what if he really attacked me?!

I won't be able to run, because I don't know this place added to my dress that is so heavy and long.

Lordy! Please protect your kind and beautiful servant from that creepy man!

Hah.I really don't like this kind of situation. I hope we hurry up, so I can lay my body on my soft bed....

Not like the chair I'm sitting in right now. My butt bones hurt from sitting too long in this hard surface chair.

Huh! Added to that with her presence beside me incessantly made a sense of paranoia attack me.

Calmly, he sat down while folding his hands together and looked out the window, irritating me.

I don't know, shouldn't I be happy if he doesn't care about my whereabouts? But why am I upset like this?

Really, I really wanted to hurry up until now!

We were in the middle of the forest to get home. Because many large trees scattered in the wind blew loudly, making my body feel cold and reflexively I rubbed my hands.

Shortly after, I felt a cloth wrapped around my back, and immediately I turned to my side.

"It's very cold, don't get the flu. Or you'll really trouble me."

I clucked bitterly at the words of this blond man who was not soft at all. He didn't look at me at all, he just folded his hands together, and now he's just wearing a white shirt because he gave me his vest.

But at least, he was worried about me too, right?

His mood changed quickly as well. I better not piss him off like I did. Because if I do, it's possible that he'll actually attack me, and I don't want that until it happens!

Hell to the no!

After a few minutes, I now feel that the train is a little dazed and shaking.

What the hell's going on? Is the train out of gas?

I also glanced at him. From the look on his face, he seemed to be confused as well.

Even the vibrations are getting louder! What exactly is going on?!

"Hey, what's going on? Why is the train shaking like this?" ask him.

He could not answer my question, a loud wobble made him fall on top of me.

I widened my eyes when our lips almost touched. Almost, okay?! Almost!

After a few minutes, the train stopped and the coachman who was driving this train opened the train door and saw the uncomfortable position.

"Sir, we are in trouble bes-" The coachman's words were cut off and he immediately turned his face away while closing his eyelids.

Oh come on, Uncle! You're not a kid anymore!

"I'm sorry, sir if I interrupt your pleasant time with Madam. But we really have an emergency problem right now!" said.

What did he say? Fun time? It's not fun at all, my goodness dragon fruit!

Immediately, Arlen returned to his original position, then asked with the courier as if nothing had happened.

How could he be so calm that I am here like a hot worm because his lips were almost in contact with mine!

Relax Cassandra, calm down.This is not the time to be concerned about it.

I glanced at the courier who painted a panicked look on his face and he said.

"We are surrounded by bandits, sir! And their number exceeds forty!"
