Until he fell in love with me!

He also looked surprised as I saw a change in his calm expression for a fraction of a second.

But he went back to his normal self then. His piercing gaze started dissecting me, “I do not know what you are trying to achieve with all this conversation. I did not have any affection towards you. Our marriage is an arrangement for convenience.” like a broken tape recorder he repeated his lines and I sighed.

“Yes yes, I heard that. But this is also a fact that we are going to spend our whole life together. So, we should try to get to know each other more.`` I repeated, and this time he chuckled. Though he was laughing there was no humor in his eyes. They were cold and full of disdain.

Though I did love this man a lot, there was no denying that he was annoying me now. Such a sexy lady is trying to win his heart. Shouldn't he be flattered and try to help me and make this communication better!

He raised his hand and a man in mid 20’s came running towards him. I knew the man, he was his aide, Ian. he do all the dirty work for the crown prince.

“The lady wanted to spend time with me. I want you to match my this week’s schedule with her and fix a meeting so that we can spend some QUALITY TIME together!'' His tone announced a quality tone that was so sharp that there was no doubt that he was mocking me again.

I took a deep breath and gritted my teeth. He was being too arrogant here. It was not Akira who was winning something from this so-called marriage for strengthening the family. She was the heir of dukedom and the richest person in the empire. Marrying her would surely strengthen the position of crown prince.

While all she would get was the position of empress that would bound her from the rules and regulation of the empire and not to forget that she had complete freedom over her estate for now which would also pass to the crown prince.

I continued to look at him with the same expressions but I was feeling aggrieved now. Though I have loved the crown prince for a few months and always thought that Akira was too shameless to continue following the crown prince even when he had professed his love for me. Now that I have the memories of Akira. I feel that the man in front of me was so unreasonable.

He did not even try to start another conversation as if all of his responsibilities ended with giving an order to his aide to fix our next appointment.

What about the present appointment? Did he have any idea how I left everything and came running to him?

“I apologise, your highness, but you both have a tight schedule. You do not have a common date or time free to meet again.”

“...............”

==================================

His cold eyes looked at me mockingly as a smirk formed on his lips when his aide announced that we did not have any common spare time to spend with each other. As it was all my mistake. There must be some days or hours when I would be free but he was not! Yet his eyes were telling me that I didn't have proper time to spend with him.

My annoyance was reaching another level! This was the first time when I felt that the man in front of me was a prick! I turned and looked at my aide to calm myself.

“Do I not have any free time this week?” the man who was already shivering, flinched hearing my voice.

“I. i apologise my lady but you have 2-3 hours free each day. And you have half a day free on weekends.” his voice was filled with dread as if he would be the one who would burn in this fire. But all I did was nod.

“May I know if there is any possibility that his highness can spare an hour or two on this weekend?” I looked at his aide who was looking hesitant to reply. So I pressed further.

“An hour would also do. I request you to check his schedule for the weekend again.`` The man became further embarrassed and finally looked to Andrew for help.

“That could not be possible” said Andrew nonchalantly, taking a sip of his lavender tea.

“And why is that so?” I pressed as there was something missing in the expressions of his aide.

“Richard has organised a small gathering in his palace for all the men. He had arranged an exclusive dancer for that day. So, as a crown prince my presence is required.” he announced proudly as if war tactics needed to be discussed or an important event was organised for the welfare of the empire. Even if he has said that they are meeting to study together. It would have sounded like a valid reason to reject my proposal.

But all he was doing was going to see a dance! That was why he could not spare me even an hour in the whole day!

My jaw almost hit the floor, I was so unbelievably surprised! The man was falling more and more in my eyes.

“Then how about that i accompany you there?'' I asked again, trying my best to restrain myself from beating him.

He frowned hearing my words. Three lines formed on his face as if he could not believe that I just said that?! I did not ask him for his life.. Did i?

“Did you not hear me well, your highness? If you allow us to go there together, you could meet your friends and spend some time with me too.” I once again fluttered my eyes and gave him a pouty look like a cute puppy.

He did not like Akira because she was too rigid, so I would be a soft and vulnerable person. It was just an act anyway, I could be anyone he wanted until he fell in love with me.He also looked surprised as I saw a change in his calm expression for a fraction of a second.
