The Cursed Prince

Emmelyn woke up as sunlight slowly entered through the crack in the bedroom window. She stretched her body and let out a big yawn, then opened her eyes one by one. It took her mind a moment to remember that she was still in the crown prince's chamber.

Hold on ... it's no longer the crown prince's chamber but theirs together.

Didn't Mars already say that Emmelyn would stay here with him for as long as she was bound by their agreement?

Emmelyn frowned when she suddenly realized that her body was not cold, even though the temperature on autumn mornings were usually quite low.

The girl just realized that a thick and warm blanket was covering her body comfortably.

No wonder she didn't feel cold at all. Apparently, she was covered.

By the way, who covered her with this really nice blanket? Was it that scummy prince?

Where did he find the blankets? Wasn't Emmelyn looking for a blanket in every corner of the room and couldn't find it last night?

Wait a minute.

Did... Mars hide all the blankets?

"Aaaaaahhhh.... !!!"

[You bastard!]

[You pervert!]

Emmelyn could immediately guess that the perverted prince must have done it on purpose so that Emmelyn felt cold and was forced to hug him while sleeping to get some warmth.

Emmelyn's annoyed scream pierced the air and was heard all the way to the castle grounds where Mars was training with his men.

All the soldiers who were training with their swords immediately stopped their movements and exchanged glances.

That scream again, they thought in unison.

Yesterday morning, their training was also interrupted by the sound of that same scream. The crown prince hurriedly left them to find out what had happened to the girl.

They suspected that yesterday the girl was okay because they didn't hear any news about criminals entering the castle or that something tragic had happened.

Then, why did she scream again this morning?

Mars also thought the same thing. Yesterday morning he was shocked to death when he found Emmelyn screaming hysterically in his chamber and thought she would die soon. In fact, it turned out that the girl had wrongly assumed that she was affected by Mars' curse.

Emmelyn thought that her limp hand was a sign that she was impacted by the curse on Mars, and her whole body would follow suit and be paralyzed before she finally died.

When actually she was just... ahh.

When his mind went back to what happened yesterday morning, Mars smiled faintly. He felt guilty toward Emmelyn for secretly using her hand yesterday to help him release his urge.

Ahem..

"You guys continue training," said Mars to his men. He was going to check what happened to Emmelyn. However, he did not panic like he did yesterday. The man could guess that the girl was screaming out of shock, not because of an attack from a criminal or because she was in a life-threatening situation.

That's why his steps now were calm, almost leisurely. Mars sheathed his sword and walked into the castle, toward his chamber.

"What's the matter?" asked Mars when he arrived at the doorway.

Emmelyn, who was stretching her body, immediately turned her head towards the direction of the sound. Her pair of beautiful eyes instantly narrowed when she saw the prince.

"Did you hide all the blankets last night?" The girl immediately charged without further ado. Mars looked at Emmelyn with an amused expression.

[Why is this girl so pretty? Even when she sulks and grumbles, she looks even more attractive.]

"Why are you grinning?" asked Emmelyn in surprise. She then looked at her own body, then touched her face.

Was there something wrong with her appearance? Why was this bastard grinning like he saw something funny?

"It's okay," said Mars casually. He tilted his chin toward Emmelyn. "By the way, I see your hand has recovered."

"Eh ..?"

Emmelyn just realized that Mars was right. Her right hand that was touching her face was then lowered, and she looked at it closely.

It looked like it did already recover. Her hand also didn't change shape nor experience any anomaly.

All looked good!

That means Mars was right when he said that Emmelyn would not die by the curse that befell him.

Pfew ...

Emmelyn breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she really was not affected by the curse. She immediately forgot about the blankets that Mars had hidden the night before. She was too overjoyed by the fact that she was alive and well. The girl got up from the bed and approached the man.

"I'm hungry," she said. "Let's have breakfast."

The cold temperature made her hungry easily. When she realized that she was okay, Emmelyn became excited and only remembered that she needed food.

"You're going to have breakfast... wearing that?" asked Mars.

Emmelyn looked down and see herself. Ahh, she just realized that she was still wearing her nightgown from last night. Yeah, she'd better change into a dress before she came down for breakfast.

"I'll get changed. You wait outside," said Emmelyn. She pushed Mars' body out the door and glared. "Don't you dare peek!"

After making sure Mars was standing upright behind the door, Emmelyn hurriedly checked whatever dresses were available for her in the wardrobe.

Yesterday, the maids helped her get dressed because her right hand was still limp, but now she could change clothes by herself.

The girl chose a simple yellow dress made of silk. Hmm .. the person who chose her outfits had a decent fashion sense, she thought.

Emmelyn saw that of the six dresses available to her in the wardrobe, all of them were of high quality and had exquisite designs.

After she got dressed, Emmelyn then opened the door and came to Mars.

"Let's eat. I'm hungry. After breakfast, I want to do something," said Emmelyn.

"Hmm .." Mars nodded. He was about to walk towards the dining room, but then he remembered his purpose in coming here, leaving his men who were training on the castle grounds. He touched the girl's shoulder and looked at her face closely. "By the way.. why did you scream earlier?"

Emmelyn, who had forgotten about the blanket issue, was now suddenly reminded again that last night Mars had hidden the blankets to make her hug him while sleeping.

"Bastard! You hid all the blankets last night, didn't you??" the girl snapped, hitting Mars' hand on her shoulder. "Insolent. Did you want me to freeze to death?!"

"You weren't cold last night when you hugged me," Mars argued, squinting his eyes dangerously. "Are you denying the fact that you were the one who took advantage of me last night? I was sleeping peacefully, but you snuck in and stuck to me like glue all night."

"You are the pervert and deliberately hid the blankets so that I would feel cold and hug you. Dammit! You pervert!"

"I didn't hide them. You didn't bother asking me where all the blankets were," Mars said casually. "I thought you just needed an excuse to hug me."

Emmelyn was really furious when she heard this shameless man's words. All her life, she had never lost an argument with anyone. She had the sharpest tongue, and she never held back with her words. However, today she couldn't win their argument.

"Ughhhh ... you!!!!" Finally, the girl could only stomp and hit Mars' shoulder, then walked irritably toward the dining room.

Mars could still hear the girl cursed in front of him.

"Gosh... this pervert!"

Hearing her annoyed voice, Mars could not help but smile.

Somehow, making this girl angry gave him happiness. She just looked so cute when she lost her temper.
