Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 185 - I Love Your Knight!

William pov

"Your highness, Princess Scarlet, has invited you to have tea with her." I felt annoyed at the way the woman was trying to control me from the first day. 

She was annoying, haughty and very irritating. I didn't like her at all. But I have to bear with it for a while! If the empress had chosen her, it meant she was her pawn in the game. To reach the queen I have to control the pawns first.

"Sure. I would love to spend more time with the lady.`` I replied with a smile as I stood up and Lucas followed.

Not so surprisingly, her hut was just adjacent to me. I had already expected that she would be close to keep an eye on me.

"Your highness, thank you for accepting my last minute invitation." she greeted bowing her head as she held her dress gracefully.

"Ah, there is no need for a formal greeting. After all, we are going to get married soon.`` I said with a smile as I sat on the chair in front of her. I looked around at the room which was decorated as if it was a fairytale castle. With everything pink and white around her.

Taking a sip of the tea, I noticed that she was looking at me intently, so I smiled, "My lady, I hope you get adjusted comfortably. If you want, I can arrange someone to give you a tour of the academy." I asked, as I did not want her to ask me to do that.

"No, I have already taken a tour of this area. I will roam around the class after the test tomorrow." she replied and I could only nod.

"Very well, still if you need any kind of help. You can always come to me." I was offered as a kind and caring person.

She chuckled as if she had heard a joke.

"Before coming here I have enquired everything about you, your highness. You do not need to act to be a person you are not!" Here comes the haughty and annoying girl back.

"I was just trying to make you comfortable. I did not know what to do with it." being dumb was the best strategy in these condition.

"You do not need to act. I have called you here because I have a deal for you." she replied with a smirk as she took the cup of tea and roamed her finger on its tips sexily. Her eyes were twinkling with mischief as a smirk formed on her lips.

"What kind of deal?" I raised a brow as I heard the warning bell in the air. She was in trouble from the second I met her.

"I know that you are forced to marry me to claim your right to the throne. And you are just acting sweet to me. So, I can go and tell the truth to my partner that you already have many partners and you are even interested in your knight. He will not even take a second to reject the proposal!" she said as if i was in control.

"Are you threatening me?" this time i let go of all the pretenses and asked with sharp and cold eyes.

But she was unperturbed.

"My father has a stronger aura than you. So do not waste your time in subduing me. As I said, I have a deal for you and I will help you in getting the throne if you fulfil your side of the deal!" she replied calmly.

"What kind of deal do you want?" I asked as I knew there was no other way.

"I will act in front of anyone as your fiance. And even convince your family that we are one happy couple until you achieve your goal. In exchange you have to help me in winning the heart of the man I love." to say that i was surprised would be an understatement.

You want to make him jealous, so that he comes running to you. But the northern kingdom is too far for him to see us acting." 

"This was not feasible at all." I added once she started chuckling, taking my words as a joke and I frowned this time.

"The man I love is in this academy. And I do not want to make him jealous. I want chances to be alone with him and find ways to make him fall in love with me." she replied, shaking her head.

"Don't tell me it is love at first sight. It have not even be a day since oy have joined the academy.'' I replied and she chuckled again. I swear I have never felt the will to break teeth and wipe the smirk off her face ever in my life.

"I have joined the academy only to find him, and I am lucky enough to bump into him on the first day of my academy. But the problem is he has forgotten about me. Now I have to work hard to win his love. Therefore I need more chances to be with him. I think i scared or annoyed him today.'' She kept on mumbling making me frown but I controlled myself.

"And how can I help you in increasing the chances of spending more time together. It is not like I can instruct anyone to do my bidding at the prince of the empire.`` I replied to the annoyed girl. I was sure she did so that was why she thought I could do so too.

After all, the northern empire was famous for the tyranny of their king!

"No, but you can bring your knights with you and then leave me alone with them as you have some urgent work and they will accompany me till you return or escort me back to my room or any other excuse." she mumbled as she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly but I could see his eyes gleaming.

"You are in love with my knights? Which one, Lucas, Kirian or James?" I asked excitedly, poor lads never get the time to find love, so it will help them too.

"Noah"

"........."
