Preference.

From the way things had turned out, there was nothing I would say that would make Dav change his mind. Maybe, Ray had some special abilities that made Dav think he was in a better position to protect me but…he was just too toxic to be with.

I sighed in surrender.

" Now, let's head to our room, so we won't be late for the family breakfast." Dav slightly pinched by cheeks as he said those words.

Though he had tried to hide the fact that he wasn't affected by Ray's words, who was he kidding? His eyes had sold him out. At that point, I started to consider having a child with Dav if I really wanted to last long with him.

He still had a place in my heart withstanding his flaws. I fear that I might never develop such feelings for anyone if he finally dumped me for another female.

" Wife, are you with me?" Dav said to snap me out of my thoughts while he pushed the hair strands on my face to the back of my ear.

" For a princess, you sure think a lot."

If only he knew how much I hated that voice, Ray wouldn't have opened his mouth to speak. I didn't wish to consider Dav a fool but it was only a fool that wouldn't see the handwriting on the wall that Ray had some evil motive.

I ignored his words and formed a smile for Dav.

" I'm ready when you are," I said. With a smile brought back to his face, Dav continued with the journey until we stopped at a large door but not as of as that of the throne room. It also had small human sculptures carved on it.

I immediately knew that we had stopped at his room. Well, I didn't want to judge a room by its door but I was very sure that the moment the door opens, a marvelous sight would behold me.

Letting go of me, Dav opened the door but my expectation was immediately cut short by the sight before me. There, I could see a room that was no different from the average human room or was this just a cover-up room? 

" Wife, this is our room, I hope you like it." He said. 

Of course, I liked it, it was just….. not what I had expected, the one back at his home was a lot better but with the way he had smiled and inhaled the fresh scent of the room, it showed that he must have had some memories here. Surely, I was not the first female that he had brought there.

" You know, I grew up in this room and I finally have to share it with you as my wife." He said.

I knew that had no intent to shock me with his words but I already was. That explains why it smelled so much like Dav but now, it was going to smell like the both of us and I couldn't help but grin at my thoughts.

Misunderstanding the reason for my smirk, Dav chose to blurt out some shameless words.

" And I'm finally going to have you in the same bed that I grew up with and possibly carry our child on the same bed.".

So, he was still thinking about having a child and the fact that he was so happy about having a child bothered me. I knew it was inevitable but I just couldn't. Even when I had gotten used to his scars, I just couldn't imagine myself kissing that face, not talking to mating with him when those scars would still be in view. 

" Hmm Dav, you talked about a family dinner, should we get ready for it?" I quickly cut the topic away because, from the looks of things, it seemed Dav had tried to bring up the issue of a child.

Wordless, he took me to the walk-in closet, where I could see new sets of Royal outfits and some of the clothes I had with me back at his house.

" I think you should wear this since it's just dinner." He said 

Yes, it was just dinner but what he had asked f me was unbelievable. Dav presented me with his clothes. How possessive could he be that he didn't consider that it would be embarrassing to wear such in the presence of the royal family? The last time I tried it, it wasn't so noticeable since it was at night.

But I chose not to say anything because his stares showed that he would be very pleased if I didn't agree to do so.

Letting out a sigh, I took it away from him. I waited for a moment when he would give me the privacy that I deserved but he didn't look like he had plans to leave.

" Dav, I want to change, can you leave?" I said to see him shake his head in a negative response.

" This dress seems tight on you, you will need some help to take it off." He was right but that was the duty of the maids and not to hide.

" Oh, can you get the maids for me?" A frown formed across his face immediately after my words. Oblivious of his plans, I gave him a questioning look.

" Would you prefer a maid to your husband to take off your clothes?" He shamelessly asked.

Without waiting for my answer, Dav took a handful of the rim of my dress and began to raise it. Good lord, I had forgotten that he was a prince and must have been spoiled to get whatever he wanted.

It was just a matter of seconds before Dav saw my underwear and the fact that I had only my pants on, freaked me. I didn't put on a bra since my breasts were not so big and the dress was designed to support it.

Good lord, what am I supposed to do?
