Masked Girl And Her Prince - Chapter 190 Chapter 190

A pin-drop silence followed Rin’s words as Usui stared at him dumbfoundedly.

Usui furrowed his eyebrows wondering whether he heard it right or not. Staring into Rin’s determined eyes he asked, “What?”

Rin sighed before he repeated his words, “I said I won’t give you my sister.”

“But why?!” Usui asked bewildered. He clearly remembers how this kid supported him weeks ago. How come he had a change of heart suddenly?

Rin frowned, “Because she is mine”

Usui raised his eyebrow feeling ticked by his words. The next sentence from Rin almost made him explode.

“She is my Aunt… I’m sure my father would want me to protect my aunt well.”

Rin looked up with a determined face as he announced in his small voice, “So, I will marry my Aunt”

Usui gritted his teeth at his smallest competitor and the most lethal one. He raised his eyebrow and said, “But you are still young. Will you make your Aunt wait till you grow up?”

Rin blinked before he lowered his eyes, thinking about his question. After a minute, Rin immediately looked up and said, “I have read in stories that a human can be immortal by drinking a special potion.”

Usui laughed, “Stories are stories, little Rin” Then he squinted his eyes as he said, “And, I don’t think your aunt would drink it”

Rin frowned, “Why not?”

Usui smirked and said proudly, “Because she’s already smitten with me”

Rin said stubbornly, “But my aunt would choose me. I’m her favorite.”

The two of them glared at each other before turning their head away simultaneously with a hmph. Zelal shook his head when he saw the antics between them.

‘Children’

Before anyone else could speak, the door opened and three pairs of eyes shot towards the door. Hazel blinked as she asked doubtfully, “Should I leave?”

Three heads shook together making her raise her eyebrow. She closed the door and looked at Rin in surprise, “When did you arrive, Rin?”

Rin threw a triumphant look towards Usui before he ran towards Hazel with a grin. Usui had a sour face when he watched the little fellow cling onto his woman. He looked at Hazel sulkily making her raise her eyebrow at him.

‘What is it?’

Scoffing, Usui turned his head away and narrowed his eyes at Rin. Only if he could tear the little fellow away from her.

Usui said sourly, “This guy came to me, the first thing in the morning, looking for trouble.”

Hazel tilted her head, confused by his words. She walked towards Usui with one hand on Rin who was clinging to her leg.

“Trouble?”

Usui scoffed, “This guy wants me to leave you”

Hazel asked amusedly, “Leave me?”

Usui pouted and said in a bitter voice, “He wants to marry you so he’s pushing me away.”

Hazel laughed at his face and asked, “Is that why you look so glum in the morning?”

Hazel nodded amidst her laugh.

He looked at her with a determined expression, “Then I can protect you when I grow stronger”

Hazel ruffled her nephew’s hair making the latter pout.

“Sister”

Hazel sighed, “Do you want to marry an old, ugly woman?”

Immediately, sounds of protest echoed inside the room.

“You won’t be ugly”

“You won’t get old”

Hazel raised her eyebrows at Usui and Rin before she let out a sigh. She could understand Rin’s feelings as he was still a kid but she was amused at Usui’s behavior.

Her lips twitched as she asked, “Why are you acting childish towards a kid?”

Usui widened his eyes as he said in disbelief, “When it comes to you, even kids are dangerous.”

Hazel rolled her eyes at his words. This stupid guy!

A frown made way to her face when she noticed the huge panda eyes beneath his eyes.

“You didn’t sleep?”

Usui threw her an accusing glare making her scratch her cheeks guiltily.

“How am I supposed to sleep when someone promised to come and disappear?”

Hazel slapped her forehead as she said, “Why didn’t you sleep when it became late?”

Usui scoffed, “What will I do if I sleep and you came at that time? Won’t I miss it?”

Hazel furrowed her brows as she asked, “Miss what?”

Usui widened his eyes when he realized that he just said everything on his mind. He could see Zelal covering his mouth by the corner making his lips twitch.

Looking at his guilty countenance, Hazel narrowed her eyes.

‘This guy… Is that all he thinks about?’

Exhaling, Hazel told him, “Lie down and get some sleep. I will wake you up later for breakfast.”

Hearing that she was about to leave, Usui immediately sprung from his bed, showing off his bare upper half. Hazel widened her eyes as her cheeks flushed seeing him shirtless. She was reminded of what transpired between them making her bit her lips.

An alarming thought flashed across her mind, ‘If he was shirtless throughout the night, then if she had come….’

Her eyes met his teasing ones, ‘Would he have continued?’

Her eyes widened at the thought and scolded him inside, ‘Shameless…shameless’

Usui smiled when he saw her flushed cheeks. He was glad that he got the reaction he wanted. As he was enjoying her flustered behavior, his eyes met with Rin’s who was blinking at him.

Usui squinted his eyes at him before he proceeded to move forward. He stopped in front of Hazel and caressed her cheeks. He asked in a low whisper, “Why are you shy now?”

Hazel who was scolding him mentally was unprepared for his sudden attack. Her eyes widened as she staggered back only for him to pull her towards him. Her forehead hit his chest making her groan softly.

His lips were at her ear as he asked, “Does it hurt?” Her ears turned red from the constant brushing of his lips. She shook her head vigorously making him chuckle.

Hazel bit her lips as her eyes focused on his chest, not daring to look up. She didn’t notice how Usui was slowly trailing towards her cheeks.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Rin whine, “Sister”

Startled, Hazel shoved him away before she looked down to see Rin glaring at Usui. She closed her eyes in pure embarrassment.

‘How did she forget about her brother?’

She glared at Usui who was grinning victoriously. She realized that this guy was trying to rile her brother. Shaking her head, she told Rin, “Let’s go, Rin”

Rin nodded earnestly making her smile. But his next steps froze her.

“Wait for me… I have a surprise for you.”

Hazel turned around, astonished by his words.

“Surprise?” He nodded making her gape at him.

“What is it?” she asked curiously.

He grinned at her as he walked past her and said, “If I tell you now, then it wouldn’t be a surprise. Would it?”

Hazel pouted when she saw him leaving her and entering the bath.

‘This guy…’

Meanwhile, Zelal who was being forgotten by everyone sighed. He came here first but he was quickly forgotten by his brother. He was even forced to watch their love early in the morning.

Shaking his head, he cleared his throat making the two people inside the room look at him. Coughing he said, “Sister-in-law, I will take my leave now”

Hazel pursed her lips as her eyes drifted to his bath. She badly wanted to know what his surprise was. The curiosity in her was eating her from inside making her unable to leave.

She looked at Rin and said gently, “Rin, go with Brother Zelal for now. I will meet you at breakfast”

Rin shook his head adamantly making her purse her lips.

Zelal looked at them and said immediately, “Rin-rin, let’s go wake up Zack and Zoya. They must be searching for you everywhere now.”

Hearing Brother Zelal mentioning his friends, Rin looked at Zelal for a second before he looked at Hazel who was encouraging him.

After a minute, Rin nodded his head dispiritedly.

Hazel smiled and ruffled his hair and watched Zelal bring her brother out.

Right as they left the room, Hazel narrowed her eyes at the man inside the bath.

…

Usui came out after fifteen minutes and wasn’t surprised to find the room empty. His eyes wandered to the door and sighed, ‘I thought she would stay’

Right at the moment, a towel was pushed to his eyes with an accompanying voice, “Dry your hair”

Surprised he sprung around and saw Hazel looking at him with narrowed eyes.

“You didn’t go?”

Hazel pushed the towel into his hands as she asked, “How am I supposed to leave when you didn’t tell me anything?”

Usui chuckled, “You are so cute” He took the towel from her hand and rubbed it on his head.

Hazel rolled her eyes at him. He was standing before her with a towel around his waist. His hair was wet as water droplets trickled down his body. Seeing that he was carelessly drying his hair, Hazel pursed her lips.

She pushed him towards the bed and took the towel from his hand. She started drying his hair while Usui smiled as he enjoyed her treatment. He wrapped his arms around her waist making her smack his head, “Behave”

Usui protested, “I am”

She chuckled as she continued drying his hair. After some seconds, Usui said, “Good morning, Precious”

Hazel stopped drying his hair and glanced at him. He was smiling softly at her making her lips curl up.

“Good morning”
