'Please let me enter? I was called by his imperial prince as I'm a seductress?'
A girl stood infront of a gate which was being guarded by two guards although the girl was wearing the lightest covering of dress used to seduce,
'Let me enter please? Will you let such a weak girl stand outside in such coldness wearing this type of dress?' The girl shivered as she said that,
'Haa fine I will let you enter by the way respect yourself a bit,will you?'
The 1st guard said as he went to the left of the gate entering a door to a small room and came out bringing a shawl with lovely flower embroidery on it and put it on the girl's shoulder,
'Here, this will keep you warm.....whats your name?'
'Les- Lena Massey.....is my name, thank you for your kindness'
The guards gave a soft smile and let her in,
'Ah didn't know a simple act of kindness after such a long time could make me want to cry?'
Hic hic....
The two guards conversing after she left,
'Ha! Look at you flirting with the girl!' The 2nd guard said,
'It's just....I pity her because my past older sister due to circumstances also became a seductress to an old noble and she had tried to run away when the old man tried to sold her to slave traders but they caught her and she died....ha! What could I do?I'm just a poor commoner....sorry I ruined the mood'
Suddenly the other guard hugged him,
'I know none of my words will lessen your pain but a hug will,right?'
The 1st guard started slightly crying even though the crying had no sound but it somehow managed to touch the other guard's heart.
For some reason as leslie was walking, she saw no servants or anyone at all...everything felt dim and sad but suddenly she reached a room from where moans were coming out,
'I feel scared...what should I do?' Leslie out of weaken legs sat down beside the door and fell asleep until a certain someone woke her up,
'Amy..?'
'I don't know who amy is but....it's 2:00 at night so what's a lady like you doing here?'
A boy was squatting in front of her looking her straight in the eye and the scene really looked like an image stolen from a novel of a scary devil called his highness the crown prince,Zev Josh Herbert.
'Your imperial highness!?'
'What are you doing here,daughter of House Fair?'
'I-I came to make a deal....with your imperial p-prince' hearing this bloomed a smirk on his face,
'How interesting to hear such a thing late at night from a girl in revealing clothes hiding behind a shawl' the crown prince smirked and then said,
'Oh well You may come inside the room as I feel that you're interesting or do you wish to stay there on the floor?'
'Y-yes I'm coming!' Leslie hurried inside with the shawl on her shoulder almost falling,
'Now may I ask what the deal is about?' The prince asked as both of them sat down on sofa facing eachother in opposite direction.
'My father, Duke El Fair doesn't really like me and wishes to marry me off to a certain someone if I don't find a husband in the fated ball but I don't want to just marry someone whose Face I can't even see so I'm scared and I thought if I could get his highness the crown prince to just be my partner on the day of the fated ball I would be forever grateful and later on after a month or so, we could just find a reason to break the engagement?' After she finished saying that,your highness the crown prince's face turned Foul.
'Do you believe that I, the crown prince will just agree to this deal where all the benefits go to your direction?'
'What? N-no But if you want I could do something you want me to do?'
'Alright so marry me and be my queen also its an order...'
'Alright then....I have a request which entirely helps your highness the crown prince,do you want to hear it?'
'Yes ofcourse.'
I told him every thing about how my father,the treasury accounter is planning to steal from the royal family's treasure.
'Alright I believe you but how do you know this?'
'That I cannot tell you right now...'
All was done nicely and my partner for the fated ball will be your highness the crown prince though I Still can't digest whatever has happened in just a few hours also I didn't think the prince would be kind enough to give me a less revealing dress I don't mind it because It makes me feel rather safe ,
'Sighh'
'Why the long breath?' Asked the first guard who was assigned to bring me back,
'Just thinking how a few hours can change a person's whole life'
'Right.....I guess that's true'
'Here, i thought I should give you your shawl back because it looks like it belongs to someone precious to you?'
'Yes it is precious because it belongs to my dead sister.....but I would rather you keep it'
'But why?'
'Because you remind me of how a young girl was driven to a corner and had to become a seductress to earn money maybe I just hoped just like how my sister taught me to live kindly and happily, you would too..looks like we have reached your home, goodbye....'
'Thank you and goodbye' she replied sadly,
'It feels strange how a single stranger made me get this relief after being regressed and that I can rely on others too!' She thought and smiled at the sky with tears in her eyes of how far she had come to get a short termed fiance and a beautiful stranger or....a friend to be with,
"I hope this life isn't the same as my past life...'
