The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 103: The prince and the woman - III

I brushed my fingers over the flowers in the field. They were all so beautiful and with different colours. I felt sad for the fact that they were going to be plucked out and were going to be sold, only to wither away.

"So beautiful. . . ." I held a lily by its stem. I just wanted to hold it in my hand without plucking get out. It looked beautiful.

"Are you talking about yourself?"

I smiled and shook my head, pointing to the flower I said, "The flower; lily, I am talking about. It is a beautiful flower. I think it compares to the rose in beauty."

Tristan hummed and I felt him immediately felt myself being heated up. The proximity that we had after led me to feel new feelings that I had never felt before. One of them was security. "I think the rose is Prettier."

"Nice opinion." I commented dryly and he chuckled.

I turned around to look at him who was already looking at me with glee dancing in his eyes. I always felt myself smiling a little whenever I was around him. It was either him whose smile was contagious or I just felt happy to smile around without no reason.

"How do you always find me whenever I walk away?" I tilted my head up and he held his arm out, encouraging me to walk. We started to walk but there was still a respectable amount of distance between us.

He smiled as he answered. "I do not have my uncle, which means I am the head of the family on this trip. I am always prepared to look after my family, especially the ones that love to walk away."

I giggled, "Oh I am the naughty one then?"

He laughed along and after that, we quietened down. Even though at times I prefered to be quiet rather than talking without any meaning, but with him even the silence held the meaning of us enjoying each other’s company.

"Do you like it?" He asked and I looked up, "I thought you would like the fields full of flowers. These are the flowers directly taken to the kingdom. The lands are truly very fertile here."

I looked around me. I only saw vast grounds of land filled with different kinds of flowers all beautiful and fully grown. "It eases the mind."

"What is it that stresses you so much to ease your mind?" He frowned and I saw genuine concern in his eyes. "Tell me maybe I can help you with it."

I did not hear or see the arrogance coming from his tone or facial expression. I had heard many noblemen say this to a lot of women because they wanted females to rely on them. Tristan’s words, on the other hand, said that he would solve the problems with me.

Smiling, I shook my head, "Nothing."

"This is better," the queen showed me the material bringing me back from the memory, "silk and lace look beautiful together. You must try this!" She gushed out as she held the clothes together.

Everyone around me was in a beautiful and joyous mood. After all, my wedding dress was to be selected. I do not know what kind of magic Konrad had done but apparently the past week had flown by before I knew it. Had he taken my words so seriously that now all my life was going to pass by in a blink?

"Not the silk, perhaps chiffon," Terrence’s aunt spoke up. "But I would agree with lace, laces as they would look beautiful on her. Look at that splendid neck. I think we should show it off a little." She came forward and pointed to the area around my neck.

" Look at this, it would look nice."

The queen hummed, giving her a critical eye.

I watched as Everyone ran around busy with the shows off a royal wedding happening in less than two weeks. There were just two weeks left or even 6 days by now. Everyone was so excited and I just felt numb all over.

What was the point of falling in love when the white dwarf or it was for a different man than the one who had occupied my heart. I felt feelings for a man who had empowered me and told me to be confident with my head held high rather than looking down and walking behind one man. He was the opposite of all the princes I had ever made in my life.

I felt. . .safe with him. I wanted to be safe with him, loved by him.

It took some more time for the payment to decide how my wedding gown wanted to look like. I was least concerned about it because for me this wedding had no meaning now because of two reasons. And because of both of them now I could not dedicate my heart to the bond that was going to be blessed by the gods.

After slowly everyone had left it was just the queen and me who were now alone as Marilyn was helping me out of the various stresses that were thrown up on me and then different kinds of clothes.

"So what do you think?" She said as she played with a piece of jewelry.

"About?" I stepped out of the gown.

I heard her sigh, "Do not act like a naive girl in front of me. You and I know that if you ever want to become the queen you have to play the part."

I gulped and was thankful that I was hidden behind the door and was not looking directly in the eyes while talking. " I can play the part but I cannot kill for the part. Killing the child or a woman with the child is very extreme and something I cannot do."

She hummed loudly. " This is the first and the last time I am going to remind you of something, Genevieve. Have you ever played chess?"

" Yes," I came out of my hiding as soon as Marilyn was done buttoning the back of my dress up.

She stared at me with her head held high and her back straight. She looked like a true Queen and in front of her I felt like a navie little peasant girl who had never seen the palace walls.

"Then you must remember that the queen is the strongest player in the game of chess for a reason." She glared at me before walking out.
