Serena"
I'm not sure why my hands were shaking, as if this was the first time Killian had been alongside me, but I could see he was nervous as well, possibly because our position has changed since then.
I can smell his masculine regular aroma, which I prefer to the perfume he's been wearing for the previous few months to save me after being struck by an arrow.
Despite the fact that his cologne was unquestionably pricey, I still enjoy his scent. He was dressed in an unusual manner. That was not his style, but whatever he wore, even if it was simply plain clothing, would look good on him.
I attempt to mask my uneasiness with a little smile. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me just now. So, instead of focusing on his golden eyes, I shift my glance back to the interior of my carriage.
I took a deep breath before asking him again.
"Killian, what are you doing here? Is your wife still with you, or are you just around the corner? Is there anything else you need?"
After asking that long question, I felt as if I had run out of breath.
Killian grinned, and I recognized that simple deadly smile I'd seen before. I'm not sure what it was, but there was something about him now that made me realize something. Before allowing him to marry the girl I despise the most, I made a mistake by not expressing my genuine thoughts.
I conveyed my displeasure with the situation by shaking my head. This is wrong. Why was I suddenly feeling this way?
"Maybe you want to hug and kiss the man in front of you?"
Elena unexpectedly spoke out.
"Do you feel that, Elena?" She answered yes when I asked.
"I either didn't understand what was going on." Elena remarked again.
"Serena, can we talk in private?" "I close my eyes and ignore his scent, his minty breath, and his intense gaze toward me." Killian stated.
"You know I'm not capable of doing that, Killian? If I were you, I'd go back to my wife because I'd be married in seconds and I don't have time for anything else right now."
Because I was the one who was feeling the pain, I was able to express it clearly, despite a blockage in my throat.
"What in the world makes you think I'd marry someone I don't even like?"
I bite the inside of my mouth on the side. I looked at him and prodded his chest, and the electricity that I had felt the previous time I touched him in the sanitarium reappeared. And I know he felt the same way this time because he took a step back and I could see his bewilderment at what had transpired.
I noticed him moving his jaw, as if he was furious or upset.
Only "Mate," came out of Killian's mouth, and he grabbed my hand.
"Whether you like it or not, you'll come with me peacefully or I'll kill every guard in your surroundings."
I inhaled deeply and swallowed forcefully. Killian was really serious about himself. I know if I don't listen to his harsh glare and words, he'll force me to. Well, it's not like I don't have faith in those who look after me and my ability as the class's top student.
I just don't want him to be in danger because I'm sure my father would be furious and put himself in great danger if what he said came to pass.
With each passing instant, the electricity became more strong, but I grew accustomed to it because it seemed similar to a tingling feeling, although much more severe than usual. A sigh escaped my lips. I couldn't put my finger on it since it varied with my mood.
"Fine, I'll come with you, but can you tell me how we can get away from these hundred guards?" I'm curious. "Now I'm sorry I asked my father to give you the Zeta rank; at the very least, there would be a handful of people who would just follow me around all day. And, unlike now, there were moments when just being you was sufficient."
As I look at my guards, I sigh once again.
"Serena will be waiting for you at your favorite location in five minutes. Please, this is important. Perhaps one of your servants might fill in for you. " We're in a life-or-death scenario here."
I bit my bottom lip and watched as he turned around, as if I was doing something he didn't want to witness. I intended to ask him a question and maybe become angry with him, like I always do when he offends me, but he turned around before I could speak, leaving me dumbfounded.
So, where do I go from here?
I asked myself this question while I was worried that time was running out. As I was about to close my carriage, Trixie and a couple of my maids approached me. My brows had been raised.
Trixie was becoming more obedient. Perhaps she adopted the concept that I was the genuine princess of this country and she was nothing throughout her weeks as my servant.
I shook my head as I remembered all of our school's kids and instructors virtually lowering their heads while waiting for me at the school gate the day after Killian's wedding.
I haven't sought attention since I was a youngster, yet I was hesitant to laugh out loud at the moment. With a sigh, I take Trixie's hand in my own.
"Please come inside. There's something that I wanted you to do."
Trixie turns to face the other servant, her eyes widening as she understands what I've done.
"Faster, I don't have time; I have something to do, and I'd like you to act on behalf of me for a while."
I mentioned that while we were the only ones inside the carriage.
"But Serena, I mean princess, what if your father finds out?" Trixie appears to be afraid.
"They didn't do it. I'll return before the wedding, and your face will be concealed the entire time. If you accept this favor for me, I vow I'll restore your status as an Eta daughter, and don't worry, my father knows me well enough not to blame you."
When Trixie heard what I said, her eyes widened once more.
