First Twelve

I thought he wasn't present since I couldn't see him before , but he was just surrounded by too many ladies , that bastard .

He came towards me and bowed before me .

"May you reach eternity , your highness."

That's the line everyone use to greet royalty other than the emperor.

"I see that you are present today Duke Theodore."

"Yes princess , how could I not come at the emperor's birthday."

Ugh.... I hate him more.

He is the typical handsome male lead type . Black hair , green eyes , really eye catching . But a total piece of shit .

"Don't mind me and enjoy yourself duke."

"How could I not mind you princess."

His glare is irritating me out of my mind.

He is a total play boy except for Lilian , but since she isn't present yet he is trying to hit on some jem today.

"Please don't, I have a partner."

"Well it's fine to have a even with a partner though princess."

"I'm not feeling up to it today so Excuse me."

I raised my voice a little and left for the balcony with Derek. The duke was clearly surprised by my rejection , well of course not everyone like you moron.

The fresh air felt nice.

"Are you okay my lady?"

"Yes I am fine , I just want to leave."

"You could leave if you want to."

"Really! But I don't want to go back there."

"The excuse me princess."

He lifted me up and jumped down from the second floor balcony. I was so surprised that I couldn't even make a sound , I just clinged onto him .

"It's alright now princess."

He put me down slowly. I took a long breath and turned around.

"Don't ever do that again without a warning."

I turned and left him there .

My face burning I need to cool down , he was too close for my heart to manage .

I screamed loudly internally.

Gosh!!
