Chapter 21: The Memorandum of Agreement
1018 Words
The prince looks surprised. Like he is wondering about something. More like—I said something that he didn't expect.
He continued to stare at me with amusement and I just stared at him back. He looks annoyed and not pleased with my suggestion.
But who cares? I don't want to die in his arms! He will gradually kill me and that's worst. I'd rather die in an instant. Facing death and being alive right after is kind of tormenting.
I even don't know what to feel because I am somehow relieved that I am alive, but disappointed when I manage to wake up—then feel anxious that it may happen again. I feel restless.
"How can you just stare straight at me like that?" Lazarus blurted. "Do you want a kiss? Are you suggesting something?"
My eyebrows met because of what he said. What a very assuming guy!
I glared on him and put a good distance between us—like I am disgusted by his presence.
"No. I am not suggesting something! Why are you sexualizing everything about me? Do you find me so attractive that everything about me is s****l? Am I that desirable?" I tease him around.
The prince didn't answer my question and just look at me in awe.
"What?" I couldn't help but to ask in annoyance when I notice that he is just smirking on me later on.
"What an arrogant princess. You are not even close to my standards for you to conclude that I see you like that. You are just a normal blood bag for me."
My eyebrows went up. "Then if I am just a normal blood bag to you, what are you doing in my room?"
The prince just rolled his eyes and rest his head again to the couch. My anger went down when I notice that his hair is naturally sits on his head, a silk white long sleeves and pants...
Is he going to sleep?
"Do vampires sleep?"
"We do not need that. But we do take a rest this way. We just sit, rest our head, and relax our mind." He answered naturally–but he opened his eyes then glared at me. "Why are you asking these basic things?"
I didn't see that question coming so I am quite surprise–should I know?
"Did you forgot your grace and knowledge too?" He asked with sarcasm.
I couldn't get what is he trying to say—but the amnesia pop out in my head. Right, I forgot!
"I told you, I forgot!" I hissed on him. "I don't know about you or anything about the vampires anymore. So stop asking me ridiculous questions and let's start with our deal!"
"You're a princess. You should know something about your soon to be husband." Lazarus worried about something extra. My eyes widened in disbelief.
My heart is thumping or jumping. It's getting excited for no reason! Is this me or Genevierre's heart who is reacting!?
"You are going to make... me your wife?"
He looked at me with a bored look. "What am I going to do with you here then? Crucified?"
I glared on him as a reaction. By his tone, I guess he doesn't have any choice at all that's why he is going to marry me.
"Can we just go back to our topic? We need to talk about this, Lazarus. We need rules to follow to avoid harassment and such."
His eyebrows went up again.
"Are you asking me to put rules in our deal? Isn't that depends on me?" Prince asked me. "It's not even close to a deal. You owe me a lot, Princess. I saved your life—"
He did not just say that!
"You saved me, that's why I agree to this! I didn't know I am going to pay you big in the first place! This is unfair?!"
"But what is more unfair is that I cannot just let you take what we have a lead! I am the prince who saved you, and the prince of this kingdom so you shouldn't say something about being my slave—"
"Stop!"
So this is about who is in the authority. Argh, royalties and their issue about who is superior.
I glared on him.
"What? We need rules in order to fix this. You cannot just barged in whenever you feel like it. How about my well being, Lazarus?"
He just pouted. I was about to roll my eyes—but the prince just pouted on me! But why is he acting cute?
Cringe.
"What if I don't want to have a rules?" He still defendend.
"Then that will surely put my life into danger." I look at him with full of determination.
"But you could just say no," he told me.
I walk towards the cabinet and find a piece of paper. I pull the elegant pen out and write what he just said.
"Lazarus agreed that if I will say no, then no," I said while writing loud and clear!
"Hey!" The prince walk towards to me and lean on the paper. "I said I don't want any agreement!"
I sighed and looked at him, bored. "Well, that's bad. How about my physical and mental health? I mean isn't blood more sweeter if I do not feel like that?"
I was just trying to get or win over him with some reasons that I can think like a child. But I guess, it's working?
"This is just for my well-being, Prince. Don't worry, I won't be in control. I am just setting a limitation," I explained to him carefully. "Next, I don't want you to just barged in my room. Learn how to knock."
"Is this really for your well being, or you're just going to boss me aroud?" He asked, skeptical.
"I am getting shocked! What if my heart just stops because of your sudden appearance?"
He didn't answer, but Lazarus is glaring at me.
"Do you have anything to write on? We should go and plan our deal, Lazarus..."
