The Obsessive Male Lead's Fiancee

Nine

When Arcana was asked to talk with the crown prince, she had no choice but to go with him. No one can defy him, no one can embarass him.

There was a table and chair prepared for her as if he was expecting this. Instead of a tea cup, there is a steak and a full course meal. Arcana was taken a back by his meticulousness.

"What is it that you want?" She askes with a grumpy mood. "I told you last time that I don't have anything to do with you, Your Highness." she said with a firm voice and decided to look at him with desparation.

This man is dangerous. The more I am entangled on him, the more my life is in danger.

"I also did not agree with that, My lady," he says and smirked at her. "As far as I can remember, you filed for the annulment of our engagement without even informing me." flashed across his eyes are dangerous. Arcana knew that he is reaching his patience now.

"You are the first one who suggested that," she said with full of determination, "I just did what His Highness wanted me to do,"

He smirked and did not utter a word. After that, his expression turned blank.

"Is that so..." he smiled as if I was toying with him. "Then let's have the engagement again, My Lady,"

Arcana flinched at his suggestion. The atmosphere was so tense right now that Arcana has grabbed his steak knife with firmness and has shaken the table. She look at him with funny expression.

"Your Highness..." she tried her best to hold back her language from the modern world. "Are you the reason why the materials for our arks--- no, the other merchants refused to deliver us the materials?" she asked with modesty when she already knew the answer.

A devilish smirked flashed across his face and gave her goosebumps.

"You're right, My Lady," he says and take her hand and kissed it. "SO you won't be able to refuse me."

THIS CUNNING MAN!

Laria grinned back instead of being completely submissive today. The days of her being under his control is over and she will not let him have her in this life. She knows that no matter what she have chosen, she is in danger. So why not and go, risk it? Surely there must be a way. She can do this.

I can do this. I have survived in the modern world after all.

Even with her hands shaking under the table from the pressure, even with how handsome he is, she knew exactly how dangerous could he be. And him tying her hands as a merchant is just the beginning if she did not agree. But there is no guarantee that he will be...

"No, I don't want to resume things, Your Majesty," she said with firm eyes and resolution. Arcana could not fathom what her life be after this. And she knows that there is a lot of reason especially why he would pursue him. She wanted to pressure him. "I hope you had a nice day."
