The woman in front of him was not like any other girls.

It will take a lot more than riches, titles and looks before you can even impress a gal like this.

"It is what you have thought, your highness but it's a one sided feeling for I am currently on a job. You might be the future king of our kingdom, but to me as long as you're in our shop. You are just any customer like the others." (Analissa) tells the prince who covered his mouth utterly speechless from her speech.

W-What a girl?!

To think she has the guts to be fearless and treat her like any other commoner there is- for some reason he found that utterly irresistible of her to think! After all, everyone in the noble circle would only pay attention to him because he's a prince.

But without the crown on his head, no one would ever pay attention to just simple Dereck Louvecroft.

Analissa knew that the crown prince was currently giving her the heart eyes and this could be a chance to say something that will make him leave her alone. Something hurtful to say but utterly valid to do so!

"Which is why if I'm being honest your highness. I disliked the way how you kept the restaurant all to yourself with no having another good reason than to just be with me, it just made me... think of you as an inconsiderate prince who uses his power for his selfish needs." she really gave the man no mercy because the crown prince right now is in pain.

Every hurtful truth she gave him, an arrow seemed to have struck.

He has never thought of himself as inconsiderate! This was actually the first time- someone had told him that! However, he's a crown prince and has a silver spoon personality to where he always got what he wanted.

And what he wants now- is the beauty in front of him.

"Lady Analissa, I apologize for the inconvenience I put you through but I did this only to give you a once in a lifetime offer." (Crown Prince Dereck) stands up to look at the Heroine with his reddened ears. How he wished to let her the way that his heart beats for her, this girl made him feel things he shouldn't as his duty of the crown and his engagement with Lady Evelyn.

"I can't wait anymore." he was about to reach for Analissa's hand. It feels like he's going to go crazy if he doesn't make her his bride.

Analissa looked at Lord Ein in a panic signaling him to do something! And he did!

"Your highness, how about we take things slow. I don't think Miss Blanchet here is interested in what you're offering at the moment. Remember, you're engaged." (Lord Ein) puts himself between them both and Analissa sighs thankfully towards her newfound dear friend.

"What do you think Lady Evelyn would feel if she saw you holding another girl's hands intimately?" He continues to try and persuade the prince but he seemed to have gotten even more angry hearing the name of his fiancé.

He blames that woman- the reason he can't get Analissa at all is all because of that damned marriage arrangement! "Ein, I brought you here to keep guard not meddle into my affairs. Lady Analissa was about to hear my prospects about-"

"Your highness. It's best to not say, I've known you almost all my life and have even protected you at the cost of my life but don't you think you're moving a little too fast for the little lady to handle?" (Lord Ein) gives a faint smile at the crown prince who stops and look over to Analissa who was looking at him in fear.

Ah... perhaps... he was moving too fast.

"A-Apologies." The crown prince apologizes and sits down immediately in his seat already regretting his actions from before but what is done is done- he has disgraced himself and most likely gave his second impression away in a horrible act.

"I would really love to know you, Lady Analissa." he says looking down at the table hoping that the blonde girl would take pity on a handsome prince like him. I mean- it always worked for him anyways.

The moment it looks like you've broken a prince's heart, anyone would give him a second chance with this tactic.

Analissa on the other hand, was praying that he would choke on a sausage but she can't say that out loud right to his face so polite a smile it is!

"No, I would rather not let his highness get to know me." she said casually and the prince looked surprised!

His reaction was actually expected and rather anticlimactic for the Heroine but come on!

At this point he was just wasting Analissa's time!

Crown Prince Dereck was just not believing the fact that his tactic looked pitiful and sad at the same time while acting truly genuine didn't work!

Is this woman broken for not falling into his charms?!

Analissa stifled a groan and explained as to why she can't be around the crown prince.

"I have promised Lady Evelyn that I would stay away from you at all cost, your highness. I'm merely doing my duty serving a customer right now so I would say you're pretty lucky I'm even talking to his highness." She gave him the menu and continued to wear a polite smile.

"The menu, dear customer. I would actually love it if you'd order quickly because our cook might have been waiting all this time in the kitchen."

The wellbeing of Farrah actually crossed her mind and intended to have this royal spoiled ass out of the restaurant as fast as she could!

The crown prince clenched her teeth- not this woman again! Always interfering! Both of his fits clenched tight glaring at the menu while muttering his fiancé's name in hate. "Evelyn... you sly little-"

"Ahem- your order please." (Analissa) takes her small notepad and pen, interrupting him because she could clearly hear the crown prince badmouthing the good name of the Villainess.

"A-Ah apologies. Right, I would just take whatever expensive dish you have here and your most expensive wine." (Crown Prince Dereck) not even looking at the menu, ordered and arranged on to visit his fiancé in the next few days without Analissa knowing.

He needs to have a thorough talk to his fiancé about this issue and he will intend to do it to persuade Evelyn that he shouldn't be blocking his way towards what could be his blooming romantic interest.

If only... he could just exile the woman in a far away place or just.. perhaps...

He grinned and at a sudden struck an idea on the top of his head. "Oh I am one smart prince." he complimented himself after seeing that the Heroine was no longer in earshot but his guard and proclaimed best friend, Lord Ein, heard all of his muttering.

With a cocky smile like that, he could only guess that his childhood friend is planning something big and he worries for the blonde girl in the future.
