Deceitful Prince 2

"I'm done cleaning the five of the long dead halls with no significant use. Maybe with their murkiness gone, this haunted castle might have a little live in it," she emphasized, and then ended daringly, "There are only two more left, rest assured, I'll be done by the end of noon."

Even if there were many things he might have regretted in his lifetime, keeping this Princess captive didn't seem to be one of them.

If she had really passed him by and he never got to meet her, then he would have lost experiencing an interesting fate.

Bit by bit, the lonesomeness in his silvery gaze diminished and a broad grin appeared on his face.

Suddenly, it widened even more to reach his eyes and gradually turned into a chuckle.
