The princes arrived at the dinner and they both sat, waiting for Aella before the dinner start.
The door opened and they saw Aella wearing the white dress. She looked so stunning in that dress. She looks like a real member of a royal family! Alfred can’t help but stare at her beauty, his mouth is half open, while Ace remained emotionless on his face. She sat on a chair and she’s facing Alfred.
Later on, the servants entered the room and place their foods in front of them and they started to eat. There’s a long silence inside the room while they eating. After they finished their dinner, they have been served a dessert.
Ace: By winning the fight, you are freed from being punished.
Aella: Oh!... Thank you, your highness.
Alfred: I would gladly to let you stay inside the Palace.
Aella blushed and became shy in front of them. She is embarrassed to live with them in the Palace, but she’s happy.
Aella: I don’t think I can accept that Alfred. You are too humble to me.
Alfred: Oh shush! We both don’t mind to let you stay here.
Ace: Yes, and to repay for it, you will be become our personal ser-
Alfred: GUEST!
Alfred interrupt him.
Aella: I don’t mind it your highness, I would be gladly to serve you and to repay my sin.
Ace: Good!
After they finished their desserts, they gave farewell and goodnights to each other and start to walk in different paths. Ace fixed his gaze on Aella.
Aella’s POV
When I just arrived at my room, I was just about to close the door and suddenly someone grabbed my wrist and slammed me behind the wall. I saw Ace’s face with anger on his face. How the heck did he get in my room?! I just saw him go in different direction with Sir Cal.
Ace: Woman, I’m warning you! Stop flirting with my brother or you will regret everything!
Aella: Sorry my lord… but what do you mean?
Ace: Don’t play dumbed with me slut!
His face is only an inch away from my face, I can feel his hot breath on my lips. His strong aura, intimidate me. I almost lost my temper because he called me “SLUT”! but I kept myself calm. I bowed my head to him.
Aella: I’m not playing dumbed your highness, I’m not even interested to Alfred.
His grip on my wrist tightens.
Ace: You better telling me the truth or you might lose your one hand.
I lose my temper when he threatened me.
Aella: I am telling you the truth! So, stop being a jerk! Why are you forcing me to tell that I have a feeling towards Alfred even I really don’t!
Ace: How dare you to yell at me!
Aella: and how dare you to call me a “Slut”!!! you might be a prince but you don’t have the rights to call me with such a word!
Ace: I’m your master and I can call you anything whatever I want!
Aella: I beg your pardon? But I remember that you aren’t the only one who I loyally serve.
Ace: Soon you will be! What do you want, for you to avoid my brother?! Money? Fame? Love?!
He kissed my earlobe, collarbone, my neck then Ace close the distance of their face but before he can kiss her… I used my hand to block Ace’s lips. My head almost blow up with anger, I never been more harassed in my whole life. I pushed him away from me, using my other hand.
Aella: I don’t need any of that! You can’t force me to do against my will your highness. But believe me I don’t have any intention to seduce Prince Alfred, I am ASEXUAL!!!
Ace is dumbfounded, he removed his grip on my hand and asked me.
Ace: What is Asexual?
Aella: *sigh* asexual is never have a feeling of crush, intimacy, or another level of love towards other person.
Ace: you mean You would never love someone in your whole life?
Aella: Yes, your highness…
Ace: Good
He walked towards the door to exit, but before he left.
Ace: By the way, never tell this happened to my brother or else…
He told me that with a cold and heavy voice. Well, he didn’t need to tell me about that because I don’t plan to tell it.
Aella: I Understood
And he left my room. I rush to take a bath because I don’t want his filthy kiss stay on my skin, I scrubbed my skin that it become so red.
After I take a bath, I wore my pajamas and start to sleep.
