Unexpected Visitors at Night

As Naria looked into Raiver's deep red eyes, she felt a sudden discomfort in the room. The silence was deafening, and it seemed like no one knew what to say. Naria couldn't help but notice Raiver's sharp jawline, his long black hair tied in a ponytail, and his impressive physique with broad shoulders. She also noticed his alluring scent, which made her feel a little lightheaded.

Raiver broke the silence with a sudden declaration, "You will marry me in two days."

"…"

Naria was taken aback by his abrupt statement. She didn't know Raiver for a long time, and would never had expected him to ask her for marriage so suddenly. Her mind raced with questions and doubts, but before she could say anything, Raiver spoke again.

"I know this might come as a surprise to you, but I have thought about this for a long time," he said, his voice deep and firm. "I have always admired you, Naria, and I believe that we are meant to be together. You have no other choice."

"I don't know what to say," Naria said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Raiver walked towards, his footsteps silent on the plush carpet. He approached Naria, his tall frame towering over her. He gently put his hands on her shoulders, causing her to turn and face him. As he looked deep into her green eyes, he couldn't help but be captivated by their beauty.

"It's announced already and you have no other choice," Raiver said, his voice low and gentle.

Naria stumbled back, her mind racing with thoughts of how the people in her house were not going to like this. But deep down, she felt a sense of satisfaction that she had finally freed herself from Ace's torturing and would finally be able to live free, on her own. And this Prince didn't even seem like a tyrant at all.

The cold wind blew through the curtains, causing them to flutter and dance. The other two people in the room were left speechless by Raiver's statement, their eyes widening in surprise.

Raiver turned to them, his expression unreadable. "I trust that you will help Naria with the preparations."

The two people nodded silently, still in shock at what had just transpired. As Raiver left the room, Naria felt a rush of emotions wash over her. Fear, excitement, and uncertainty all battled for control.

But despite everything, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Raiver for giving her a chance at a new life. And as she began to make her preparations, she knew that her journey with the Prince was just began.

The maid gently looked at Naria, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Miss, it will be a long night," she said softly.

Naria nodded, her hands trembling with shock and confusion. She still couldn't believe that the Prince wanted to marry her, a mere commoner. The thought filled her with both excitement and fear.

As the maid left her room, Naria was left alone with her thoughts. She lay on the bed, which felt like a wide field of flowers, and began to think about how her life was going to change for the better now that she was free from Ace's torturous grasp.

But just as she was beginning to drift off into a peaceful sleep, she heard a knock on her door. Startled, she sat up and called out, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Raiver," came the Prince's voice from the other side of the door.

Naria's heart skipped a beat as she got up to open the door. She felt a sense of nervousness wash over her as she wondered what the Prince could possibly want from her at this late hour.

As she opened the door, she was surprised to see Raiver standing there with a small smile on his face.

"May I come in?" he asked politely.

Naria nodded, still feeling a bit unsure of herself. As Raiver entered the room, he turned to face her and said, "I just wanted to check on you and make sure you're comfortable."

Naria couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Raiver for his kindness and concern. She smiled back at him and said, "Thank you, Prince Raiver. I appreciate your concern."

Raiver nodded and turned to leave the room. As he reached the door, he paused and looked back at Naria. "Sleep well, Naria. Tomorrow is a big day."

With those words, he left the room, leaving Naria alone with her thoughts once again. She lay back down on the bed, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. As she drifted off into sleep, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn her life had taken.

As she had just fallen into a deep sleep when she heard another knock on her door. This time, it was a more gentle one, and she thought that the maid had come back to help her.

She got up from the bed and walked towards the door, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. But as she opened the door, she stepped back in surprise. Standing in front of her was a tall figure, wearing a long black dress that had long sleeves on. The dress was bodycon, and it fit the figure perfectly.

The person had a long nose and puffy lips, with eyes as blue as the sky. Her hair was long and wavy, the color of spilt wine.

For a moment, Naria just stood there, unsure of what to say. Finally, the person spoke up. "So you're that bum that the Prince brought back home," she said, their voice dripping with disdain.

Naria felt a knot form in her stomach as she realized that this person was not here to help her. She didn't know who she was or why she was here, but she knew that she didn't feel comfortable in her presence.

Without saying a word, she stepped back and closed the door, "what do you think you're doing?"
