"No!".

" ......Yeah, I want take my prince to the farthest place away from humans. I want to marry him and spend the rest of my under his shadow.

" Not to marry anyone ? What kind of doctor would advice his patients not to marry ?", James chuckled.
" Isn't it ?, but my doctor do. He once told me- if I marry, i may put my life and his life into danger....But I often argue that I will really take good care of my husband,"(*Joins her hands together and forms a cup*) " within my hands.

" James ? Some old bug is in the line ", said David as he handed the mobile to James.
" Who ? "
" Who know ? James is the only word that comes out of his mouth, for the past 10 minutes".
James Unmuted and switched the speaker mode, "It's Edward James here. Could I know whose on the other side ?".
" James you bloody b***ocks", the roaring voice got everyone's attention.
".....Hey mental doctor, are you still alive ? "
" Where is she ? "
" Where's whom ? "
" Don't play along you money minded bastard. Do you have any idea about what you have done ? She isn't something to use or play with. "
(*Chuckles*)" What the.... the same dialogues again and again. I'm tired of these words tell me something interesting mad man ".
