Chapter 13: The Crown Prince's unexpected visit!
Analissa takes in a deep breath before going out with Lord Ein who accompanies her outside of the kitchen. "Lord Ein, may I have a word?" she asks the dark blue haired boy and he sighs tiringly already knowing what she's going to ask.
For safety measures they stood to the side where neither the crown prince nor Farrah could hear their conversation. "Obex Clastrum." he snaps his fingers and a small magic circle pops up and glows to a faded color before fading away.
An invisible barrier formed that protected their voices and now they can talk freely on whatever they wanted to say.
"First it's not my idea it was the crown prince's, second I'm not enjoying this like you are and third- he seems to be hell bent on wanting to visit you. What did you feed him so that he became this obsessed?" (Lord Ein) was now the one asking questions and cornered Analissa speechless.
Certainly it offended her that Lord Ein thought of her batting eyelashes at the crown prince! Feeding him some love potion or something- well over her dead body before she does that kind of shameless act. "I didn't feed him anything! If anything I don't want to feed him anything!"
Analissa would rather wish he choked on a sausage while he feeds himself with his own sad hands!
"Believe me, Lord Ein. My heart belongs to someone else and I assure you it's not that pretty egotistical blonde boy over there." she points to Crown Prince Dereck who was impatiently waiting for Analissa to serve him.
Oh how would she love to see her in a cute uniform too. Propose to her and such but he felt like that was moving too fast- even Lord Ein commented on his plans being too quick on the act on marriage.
Right! He's right!
They have definitely held hands together that one time though!
If only his fiancé was not in the way of their love he would've escorted the lovely Analissa on the way back to her room and was so sure that she would have fallen in love with him then and there using his princely charming charms!
"It seems that he's smiling while waiting at the table like a madman." (Lord Ein) fearfully covers his mouth looking at the poor little sheep in front of him and fake cries even doing a little teary sniff sound effect while feeling someone else's gaze behind them.
"Truly he has fallen deep. You vixen... look at you just hooking men wherever you go." he teases the girl while still keeping his guard up. Lord Ein noticed that the muscular tall lady over there with bright brown hair was watching their every move.
How fortunate it was that she won't be able to overhear what they're talking about because frankly she feels this restaurant staff was rather a nosy one. "Agh! Lord Ein! Not funny. I don't even desire to hook any of them I swear! I've been bombarded with them wherever I go."
The heroine crossed her arms and wondered, "You seem to be the only sane man I've met ever since I came here- I mean transferred here." she turns to Lord Ein who raises his eyebrows a little sassily looking offended that this blonde girl had the audacity to assume-
"No offense but you're not my type." (Lord Ein) raised his hands in defense, shoving it in Analissa's face. The Heroine didn't seem to be dejected at the thought but she was happy about the news!
"Oh thank you lord whatever deity exists in this world for making this man sane!" (Analissa) almost kneeled and prayed.
Oh! Her three brain cells are doing it right now actually, thanking the heavens for making such a good companion friend on her journey on saving the Villainess from her doom! But- then again, things are going off route.
This whole crown prince visiting her at a work event was not in the game last time she checked.
"Thank no one but me for being sane, however Miss Blanchet. What do you plan on doing next- I don't see why the need for a private conversation with me." (Lord Ein)
"I panicked- and the last time I came across the crown prince he sort of hurt me without knowing." (Analissa) confessed looking over to her wrist remembering the first time he encountered a love interest.
If the Villainess was not there to save her, who knows what might have happened.
"Please Lord Ein. If you think things are getting out of hand- just- convince him to get out of the restaurant. I don't want the good people here getting involved in any trouble with me." she pleaded with the noble with the best puppy eyes she could do. One would have no problem as a normal person being infatuated with the Heroine.
However with people that has some sort of immunity for her charms.
It might need some more persuasion.
"Lord Ein- come on I'll owe you a favor." (Analissa) was practically begging for her life here and finally Lord Ein sighs giving her a nod.
"Fine, this is all rather amusing for me but seeing you in this state makes me pity you." (Lord Ein) snaps his fingers, the barrier disappearing around them and Analissa did a little happy dance that he said yes to helping her! "Thank you!"
"You owe me one, Miss Blanchet." (Lord Ein) smiles at the girl and escorts Analissa towards his childhood friend, the crown prince. The blonde girl was really nervous not knowing what to expect while holding the menu in her arms.
The crown prince noticed the most beautiful girl laid upon his eyes and was utterly paralyzed by her beauty in that- uniform! W-What a sight! And to think its all for him to see- it almost made his nose bleed from the utter excitement.
"Miss Blanchet, I present to you the crown prince Dereck Louvecroft of our kingdom." (Lord Ein) introduces Crown Prince Dereck who straightens his back proudly while giving one of his charming smiles that can certainly charm any lady he flashes it into.
"I suppose we meet again, your highness." (Analissa) responds with her polite business smile not giving the crown prince any misunderstanding hints that she'll be willing to accept his courtship move on her. "What brings you here if you don't mind me asking?"
The crown prince instantly fell in love with her some more with just that friendly polite smile that Analissa did. "I came here to see you, of course. Our meeting from before was rather brief because of my fiancé-" his eyes were now full of concern the moment he remembered that his fiance actually dragged her out of their conversation from before.
"Are you alright actually? She must've been one piece of work to deal with. She hasn't been bullying you right?" (Crown Prince Dereck) asked, assuming Lady Evelyn of such acts even though there wasn't any evidence for him to back up on.
It made the blonde girl angry! Lady Evelyn actually saved her when he was hurting her! How dare this prince assume of such things-
"Whew..." (Analissa) decided to take a deep breather remembering that if she loses all of her emotions right now. Farrah and her family will be in danger, so she has to play around safely around this game and be more strategic.
"Your highness, Lady Evelyn has been rather considerate and fair towards me. You need not to worry about how she is towards me for I am safe and fine." she calmly answers still wearing her polite smile but there was a hint of malice behind her voice. Lord Ein seemed to be the only one who was able to pick up on it.
"Lady Analissa, please do not be so formal around me. No need to call me, your highness. I want to become closer to you so I would like it if you called me by my name." The crown prince suggested doing a little happy dance feeling that he might have the chance to become closer with the destined person he believes to be.
Analissa on the other hand wanted to smack the heck out of this one.
He's engaged- with Lady Evelyn of all people!
She likes the Villainess in an admiring manner but she's pretty sure she hasn't done anything like this... she thinks.
Her horrible memory is showing. In any case! He's dangerous, Analissa was racking her brain around how to pass this obstacle. Analissa would really prefer if she doesn't get too close with this love interest of a crown prince.
"Well your highness, such an offer but I'm afraid I'll have to respectfully decline." The blonde girl rejects the prince who almost choked on the water he was currently drinking and looked at her with widened eyes.
I-Is this reality?! A girl actually rejected one of his advances and didn't even want to call him by the first name- "But Lady Analissa, I thought erm... we were having a moment right then and there." (Crown Prince Dereck) tries to salvage the conversation but it was no use.
