Chapter 408 Escort (4)
Before I could say anything, the princess suddenly said, “Do you really hate me so much that you won’t accept this favour from me?”
The moment that she said this, a bitter smile appeared on my face.
As soon as she said this, my fate had already been sealed and there wasn’t anything else for me to do.
If I kept rejecting her like this, it would only get much worse.
After all, an angry princess was much worse than an angry brother or father.
An angry princess would cause me much more trouble than the king or the fourth prince since they would be restrained because of my use to the kingdom.
The princess wouldn’t care about such a thing and would incite the king and the fourth prince constantly, making things worse and worse.
So between the two, I knew which one I preferred…
So I had no choice but to say, “Of course not. Please do it again, I’ll eat it this time.”
The cloaked figure looked at me and although I couldn’t see her face, I could tell that she was surprised.
However, she still took the plate and the fork before bringing the same bite up to my mouth and saying, “Alright, here you go.”
This time, I had no choice but to take that bite of chicken into my mouth.
As I chewed it, I could only reveal a bitter smile.
I was so focused on trying to balance the consequences of this matter that I didn’t even taste the chicken.
But I could tell that the princess was happy since she was no longer as tense as before.
The princess was indeed happy, but there was a part of her that was suspicious of this. After all, he had changed his mind a bit too quickly that she couldn’t help feeling that it was suspicious.
But in the end, she chose not to think too much about it since she was just happy that he had chosen to accept it.
I was about to reach for the plate and fork again when I saw that she didn’t move, but then she started getting more food and bringing it to my mouth.
So I had no choice but to sit there and let her feed me the entire time.
As the princess brought food to my mouth, I could only open it and let her put it in.
When I chewed, there was a bitter smile on my face.
As she fed me, she also asked, “Does it taste good?”
I gave a nod so that she wouldn’t be angry, but in truth, I wasn’t able to taste a single thing.
If one looked at us from afar, they might think that we were a happy couple enjoying a picnic, but…
The only thing that I felt during all of this was tense.
There was nothing else that I could feel as I had no idea what was happening and what the consequences of this would be.
The butler was just on the side preparing more food for us…or rather for the princess to feed me.
It didn’t seem like they would stop, so I had no choice but to say, “Um, I’m already full and I can’t eat anymore.”
The princess had been in the middle of bringing more food to my mouth when she heard this.
She looked at me with a bit of a tilt to her head before bringing the fork back down and putting the plate to the side.
She then turned to the butler who had already prepared another plate for her.
This was completely different from the plate that he had prepared for me.
This was a balanced dish that had a mix of vegetables and meat.
The plate that had been prepared for me was a plate that had been filled with all kinds of meat without any vegetables at all.
It was a plate that had been covered in oily meats, which had given me heartburn from eating so much.
It seemed that they had really misunderstood what kind of things I liked to eat.
But where did this misunderstanding come from?
Or was it just what she thought I liked to eat?
I didn’t think that I gave off that kind of image, so why did she think that I was into these things?
No, I quickly stopped myself from thinking about these things.
lightsnοvεl After all, that wasn’t what was important right now.
I had to figure out a way to collect the herbs as soon as possible so that we could go back as soon as possible.
So taking a moment to digest the food that I just ate, I stood up and started to walk away from the picnic blanket.
I wanted to seize this chance while the princess was eating to go and pick the herbs before she could mess it up for me again.
But before I could take more than two steps, there was a dark clothed figure that appeared in front of me.
This dark clothed figure was taller than me and had a mask covering up their face, so I couldn’t see what they looked like. However, that didn’t matter as they just stood there in front of me, stopping me from going any further.
It was as if they had suddenly appeared to stop me from going anywhere.
This dark clothed figure looked down at me before pointing at the picnic where the princess was still eating.
It was as if they were telling me to go back or else…
The look in the eyes of this dark clothed figure made it clear that they weren’t playing around…
I just stood there in silence looking at this dark clothed figure for a bit before slowly turning around and heading back to the picnic.
As I sat down, I couldn’t help falling into deep thought.
It was clear that this dark clothed figure was one of the princess’ hidden guards.
If that was the case, why was I here?
