Marianne pov contd.
"Marianne, I have always liked you. But I have always controlled my feelings since I knew that you were married and did not like me at all. I do not expect much, but would you give me a fair chance to win your heart?" he asked and I felt guilty again.
"Oh my, lord Philip. You are a prince and I am a married or divorced lady, how could that be? `` I asked, shaking my head as if I could not believe what he said.
"I do not believe in all these old dead statements and traditions. I just want your acceptance." he replied seriously, but i still shook my head.
"I am not ready for any commitment, my lord" I added, and he nodded.
"I do not need a reply for now, my lady. I just want you to consider it."
"My lord, have you decided to stay here all your life?" I asked as if I was considering my future. A smile bloomed on his lips.
