Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 204 - For My Whole Life!

Noah pov

I looked at the girl in utter annoyance as she passed me that bright smile.

"Let me escort you to your room, my lady." I bowed my head in front of her and she passed me a smile.

"What is the hurry. I did not have my meal yet! And I'm sure that you have not eaten yet. Why don't you sit so that we can have our meal together." she fluttered her golden eyes, trying her best to convince me.

"I do not think it will be a good idea, my lady. Why don't you have your meal in your room." i replied back, but before she could say anything her stomach grumbled and her cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

"But I have refused to make my meal and if I go and ask for it, they would take ages to cook it. And all this food will go to waste!" she replied, puffing her cheeks as she looked at the food on the table, salivating.

I took a deep sigh as I knew that she had won. I did not have the heart to force her to go to her room when she was this hungry!

"Then, shall I serve you the meal?" I asked, hoping she would stuff all the food in hurry and finally would leave for her room.

"Oh, that would be my honor. But in exchange, I will serve you too." she replied with sparkling eyes, for a moment i felt blinded by the light in it.

"Oh, I am just a servant. I dare not eat with the process of the northern empire' I shook my head at the absurdity of the idea.

"Oh, I am just Scarlet for you. I thought we both are friends." she replied again forming the same pout on her face.

"We have spent enough time together. We have even shared a horse ride. A dinner together will not affect much. Please, Noah, I did not like to have meals alone. It made me realize how lonely my life is.'' Her voice was so low in the last sentence that I felt that she would cry any minute if I did not fulfill her wish.

I never knew that she was that good at convincing others as I felt myself sitting with her.

If the earlier smile was enough to blind someone, this one could be compared to the sun. Her smile was so bright that I was having a hard time looking at her.

"I knew it. No matter how hard you try to behave with me, you are a soft and caring person from inside." she wrapped her both hands around my palm and i had to look at her when she replied slowly, "thank you, Noah. Thanks for bearing with me. I know that I am a bit childish and stubborn, but I promise that I am not a bad person and I always care for the people around me. So, do not be angry with me in the future, alright?" her voice was so low as if she was really guilty and would cry if i would deny her. So, I nodded my head again. Since it has come to this, let her grant her wish to fall in love with your highness. 

This way even Abi would not need to serve him out of the academy.

"I am in support of you, my lady. You didn't need to worry. I will support your pair with his highness. So, that you can be our empress.'' I thought that she would be happy to know that I would support her unconditionally, but her face contorted as she looked at me with utter anger.

Her warm golden eyes turned colder as she looked at me with annoyance.

"You know that your highness is a flirt and each day he has a new girl with her. Yet you want me to marry him. Do you hate me this much, Noah?" she asked in an aggrieved tone and I felt guilty. How would I know, she knew the reality of your highness!

"Are you not here to marry him, my lady?" I asked, trying to explain that it was she in the first place that came to marry William.

She shook her head as if single shaking would not be enough to convince me, she started speaking too.

"Not at all, what made you think so? I am here for you. I fell in love with you the first time we met. I have tried so hard to find you. You have no idea how much struggle I have had to meet you.

When I got the chance to come here and meet you, I accepted even when it was related to the crown prince. I only want to marry you, Noah. i love you.'' Each word that left her mouth was like a jolt of lightning, burning me to the core.

I looked at her with my charred face, waiting for her to tell me that it was just a joke, but her serious expressions let me go of that thought too.

"My lady, there is no way that you can love me with just our two short meetings. You don't even know me well enough to be your friend. Then how can you claim to be in love with me? I am an orphan who was taken in by Duke George at a young age. And now I am serving his family. And you are a princess who will rule your kingdom soon. There is no way that we could be together. And most importantly i do not love you.'' I explained as I put some food on her plate.

"Now, you should eat. You seem to be hungry." I added and her expressions softened. She nodded and took a sip of the soup.

"Even if you do not love me, Noah. you care for me. And it is enough for me to be with you for my whole life."
