Chapter 5 - The Crown Prince Wishes To Marry Me

Everything goes silent. "Your, Your Majesty, are you sure that I am acceptable for such honor?" "Father, wait." Everyone eyes the prince. Probably because it seems as if he doesn't want me to become an imperial princess. I don't either. I am not of royal blood so I will be ridiculed and mocked. Why can't people just leave me alone? "Prince Noahen. Do you object to this?" He looks nervous."It's not that father, it's just don't you think you should listen to what the lady wants?" "I see, very well, Lerape, I will grant you one wish that is within my power." I think for a while, I wasn't expecting a result such as this. Well I might as well take a chance. "Can it be anything I want?" The king chuckles, "Very well." "I want today and its test result to be forgotten and my to be able to leave in peace and live quietly near the countryside." I hear people mutter and the prince stares at me in shock. "What? Do you think that the test results are wrong?" The king asks. "No, I just want my wish to be accepted." "But child, you have so much waiting for you, you wish to throw it all away?" "Yes." "Wait Father! You cannot allow this! She is the seed of God, our savior! How could you let her leave!?" "Lerape, I beg you to reconsider your wish." The king pleads with me. "I only wish to live in peace." "LERAPE!" The Prince shouts. "This is our kingdom, you wish to let all of these people suffer, just because you don't want to do your duty as our Holy Quitom!?" "PRINCE NOAHEN YOU LOWER YOUR TONE AS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO HER!" The King shouts. "I'm sorry, You're right. Please forgive me for being selfish." "No, not at all, child. I'm sorry for The Crown Prince's Slip of the tongue. How old are you, Lerape?" "I am 17 your majesty. I shall be 18 in 4 months time." "I see. I find it really unfortunate you cannot marry my son but you are coming of age so adopting you would also be fine, are you okay with that Lerape?" "FATHER NO! I WISH FOR LERAPE TO MARRY ME!"
