Trapped by One Night's Mistakes
Chapter 48

The Prince and Queen continued to run while holding hands, they increasingly entered into a very lush forest, large trees towering and various types of wild plants flourishing, looking like a bush. But Queen's steps stopped, making Prince inevitably stop his steps and turn to look at the woman with a confused look.

"Why stop?"

The queen was still adjusting her breath, the beautiful woman was panting for breath because she had already run quite a distance. "I can't run anymore."

Lately the condition of Queen's body is not fit, she is easily tired and dizzy, plus this morning she did not have time to eat anything. This clearly made his body even more limp, even his face already looked pale.

Prince looked at Queen carefully and realized that she was not okay. "You sick? Why is it so pale?"

"I'm tired and hungry."

Prince pulls Queen into hiding behind a large tree and circling her gaze in all directions, he is ascertaining whether Jovan is still chasing them or not.

"Alright, we rest first" said Prince who has now turned to look at Queen.

"But what if Jovan finds us?"

"It looks like he's not after us anymore. You rest here."

The Prince walked away from the Queen, but the woman hurriedly pulled his arm.

"Where are you going? Don't leave me!" Queen looked with a pleading gaze.

"I just want to find something you can eat, who knows there's fresh fruits growing around here."

"But I'm afraid." whine Queen spoiled, making Prince smile.

"I'll be a minute."

"No! I'm going with you." The Queen insisted, even now she was already tightly holding the Prince's arm.

"But aren't you tired?"

"Queen shook his head and lied. "It's not anymore."

Prince smiled again when he realized that Queen could suddenly be so spoiled for him, whereas before, the woman seemed to hate him so much.

"All right."

Prince released Queen's handrails on his arm and immediately crouched down to his back to the woman.

"What do you want?" queen asked confusedly.

"Cut you. Go, up!"

"Eh, no need! I can walk on my own."

"Well or do I live here?" menacam Prince's. He certainly could not bear to let the woman continue walking while her face was already pale from exhaustion.

"Yes, yeah, yeah."

The Queen relented and immediately grabbed her body to the Prince's back, then placed both arms around the man's neck. Finally they continued on with Prince holding Queen on his back.

But Queen did not reply, she was holding back the shame of having to be carried like this by the man she desperately avoided and she hated. Plus Prince said it was heavy, Queen only hid her flushed face on the back of the man.

They continued walking and along the way, Prince raved as he occasionally joked and laughed to himself, but Queen remained silent with no intention of replying to the man.

"Eh, meet!" exclaim Prince girang.

"What?" The Queen poked her head over the Prince's shoulder to see what the man had found.

"Mulberry fruit."

"Mulberries? What fruit is that? Can it be eaten?" queen asked confusedly.

"So you don't know? Far away from school out of the country, but the mulberry fruit just do not know." Prince sneered.

"Just answer my question, what's the trouble? No need to sneer at me!" Queen grumbles, she rebels and forces down from Prince's sling with pursed lips.

"Yes .. yes. Mulberry is edible forest fruit, contains water and vitamin C is high, good for maintaining endurance. Good consumed by patients with anemia, cholesterol, diabetes and help the diet process. It's also good for pregnant women, so if you're pregnant, I'll find you a lot of mulberries." Prince rambled at length to explain the benefits of the red and black fruit, but his last sentence successfully stunned Queen.

"I'm pregnant, why would you bother looking for her?" queen protest with linked eyebrows.

"You're pregnant with my son. So what's wrong with the same attention of the prospective child himself." joked Prince with his witty face.

"Dreams!" sumpul Queen then walked up to the mulberry fruit tree which was only two meters high and plucked the red mulberry fruit then put it in the mouth.

"Good, that's sour!" Queen pursed her nose while closing her eyes.

"Mahaha ...." Prince's laughter broke out looking at Queen's face which looked cute due to the acidity. "Yes obviously sour, you eat red anyway. You should eat a blackened one, it will taste a little sweet, if the red one is still wry" said Prince on the leftovers of his laughter.

"Why didn't you say it?" snapped Queen annoyed.

"You didn't ask. Just play eat."

"Brank ...!!! Bummer!!!"

But the two suddenly fell silent when they heard a voice from behind the bushes not far from them. Queen immediately shuffled and hid behind the Prince's burly body.

"What's that?" whispered Queen with a pounding heart.

"Eitherway. Maybe an animal."

"I'm scared." Queen held Prince's arm very firmly.

"Calm down."

Suddenly two men emerged from behind the bushes carrying long-barreled rifles, one large and plontos-headed while the other was tall with a thick mustache. The two spooky looking men stared intently at the Prince and Queen.

Queen tightened her grip on Prince's arm, her heart pounding even more. Likewise with Prince, the beautiful man began to worry. But they didn't realize something was threatening them.
