Masked Girl And Her Prince - Chapter 191 Chapter 191

Memories of playing with her brother appeared in her mind letting a smile appear on her face. Shaking her head, she smiled sweetly. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around with a smile, stunning Usui.

Usui froze when he saw her clad so beautifully. His heart raced when he saw the smile on her face. His lips involuntarily curled up and his gaze softened as he resumed walking. He stopped in front of her gazing at her intensely.

Hazel bit her lips when she saw his intense gaze. She pressed her lips as she shifted her eyes from his face to his clothes. She raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw him wearing the same color.

He was wearing a royal blue faux fur collar long cape cloak over his clothes. His bangs fell on his forehead while his golden-brown eyes peered at her curiously.

A chuckle left her lips urging him into asking, “What is it?”

She glanced at him and said, “We are wearing the same color”

Usui glanced down at his clothes and mused, “Yeah…” He glanced up with a smirk on his face as he said, “Looks like we are perfect for each other.”

Hazel shook her head making him grin widely.

‘Shameless’

Hazel froze when she felt a cold touch on her cheek. She looked at him as he caressed her cheek and played with her strand.

“You look beautiful, precious”

Hazel flushed as she bit her lips to hold back from smiling. Usui sighed on seeing the rosy tinge on her cheeks. Caressing her cheeks, he whispered, “Let’s go now before we are too late”

Hazel looked up confused making him lean forward and whisper in her ear, “If we dilly dally here for another minute, I would kiss the hell out of you” and kissed her cheek.

Hazel closed her eyes in embarrassment as her face reddened.

‘Why is it easy for him to make me blush?’

Usui chuckled as he grabbed her hands and pulled her outside. Looking at the snow gathered on the ground, he looked back and raised her hood lest snow tangled on her beautiful hair. Usui blinked when he looked at her in her hooded cloak.

She looked so tiny and adorable making him feel as if he was doing a crime. Hazel raised her eyebrows when she saw the guard bring a black horse towards them.

She looked at Usui and asked, “Surprise?”

He nodded, “Let’s go”

Hazel furrowed her brows at his refusal to tell anything. She turned towards the guard to signal him to bring her horse when she felt strong arms wrap around her waist. Before she could grasp anything, her feet left the ground making her squeal loudly.

“Hold tight, Precious”

Hazel snapped out of her thoughts when she felt his breath on her ear. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and said, “I have a horse”

He nodded, “Yeah but today, we are riding on my horse”

Hazel pursed her lips and said stubbornly, “I want to ride on my horse”

Usui glanced at her and said, “You have two choices: one is to ride with me on my horse or we will ride together on your horse. You can choose, Precious”

Hazel furrowed her brows, “Why must I ride with you?”

Usui smirked as he raised his hand and pulled her hood down. He bent forward and kissed her nape, sending a shudder down her spine, and whispered, “Because I get to do this”

Hazel bit her lips as her face turned red. Her eyes widened when she felt him holding her tight against his chest. Hazel blushed as she asked flusteredly, “W-what are you doing?”

“Just making sure you won’t fall, Precious” Usui murmured.

The guard gaped at the prince flirting with their princess. He blushed when he heard the prince’s words. He didn’t know he would be shoved with dogfood so early in the morning. He was determined to find a girlfriend today so that he wouldn’t feel so single in front of them.

Usui nodded at the guard as he nudged the horse to move forward. Hazel hurriedly held the reins which were held by Usui. She immediately released the reins as if she got electrocuted. Her ears turned red when she heard him chuckle.

“W-where are we going?” Hazel bit her tongue for stuttering. She wished the snow would bury her for embarrassing herself for the nth time.

Usui leaned forward and said softly, “To your surprise” He squinted his eyes when he saw her red ears. He nudged her ear with his nose before kissing it gently. He let out quiet laughter when he felt her body tremble.

“S-Stop that”

Usui straightened his posture and said, “As you wish, Precious”

Hazel saw that they were leaving the castle premises. Suddenly her vision turned black making her hold his thighs tightly.

“What are you doing?”

Usui chuckled, “It’s a surprise, Precious. I need to blindfold you till we reach there”

On noticing her clutching his thighs tightly, he said, “Don’t worry, precious. Your prince charming would protect you well.”

Hazel’s lips curled up at his words. Usui kicked the horse which was walking to pick its pace. Soon, Hazel felt the cold breeze play with her strands. She settled against his chest comfortably as she waited for him to stop.

A smile blossomed on Usui’s face when he saw her cuddled against her chest. Specks of snow tangled on her hair. He wrapped one hand around her waist as he nudged the horse to run faster.

After minutes, Hazel furrowed her brows when she felt the horse slowing down. She asked, “Have we reached?”

Usui hummed as he got down from the horse. He looked around and saw no one near their location. He looked back and saw Hazel trying to pull her blindfold down. He hurriedly grabbed her hands and said, “We are not there yet”

“Huh?”

“We need to walk a little, Precious”

Hazel pouted as she let her hand down and touched the horse carefully to get down. But, strong arms grabbed her by her waist and lifted her off from the horse’s back. She bit her lips as she was placed down on the ground.

She could hear his heartbeat so vividly that she knew he was standing right in front of her. She pressed her cheeks on his chest and heart a rumble inside his chest.

“Come on, Precious”

Usui took her hand and proceeded to walk forward. Hazel focused on her ears and nose since her eyes were blinded. She heard the rustle of leaves and the sound of snow being crushed by their feet as they walked.

She furrowed her brows as she couldn’t grasp where she was. Usui turned around and saw her knitted brows. He flicked her forehead as he said, “Be patient, love”

Hazel grumbled under her breath, ‘Easy for you to say’

Usui heard her grumbling and laughed. He tightened his grip on her and walked forward until he stood at a clearing. His smile widened as he dropped her hand.

Hazel frowned when she felt the sudden warmth disappear.

“Usui?”

No one responded making her heartbeat frantically. She looked around in panic but all she could see was darkness. She clutched her blindfold and bit her lips.

“Usui, I will undo the blindfold if you don’t respond in three seconds”

Feeling the silence surrounding her, Hazel pursed her lips, “One”

She felt the cold breeze on her face, carrying a fragrance. Hazel knitted her brows when she felt the familiar fragrance but couldn’t detect it.

“Two”

Hazel walked forward and heard the sound of a branch cracking under her feet. She clutched the blindfold tightly as her heart raced.

“Three”

and she undid the blindfold.

Hazel closed her eyes from the sudden sunlight. She waited as her eyes adjusted to the brightness. Opening her eyes, she blinked repeatedly until her vision cleared.

“Usui?”

She felt his arms wrap around her waist almost instantly. Annoyed, she slapped his hands as she asked, “Where did you go?”

Usui chuckled, “To give you some time”

“Hmm?” Hazel turned around and asked confusedly.

Sighing, he caressed her cheeks, “Your surprise is there, love” pointing at something behind her.

Hazel furrowed her brows as she took her surroundings. Her eyes widened, ‘Why were they here?’

Usui turned her around making her face his arrangement. Hazel gasped when her eyes laid at what was in front of her. She took a step back and hit his chest.

‘How did he do this?’

Usui wrapped his hands around her and laid his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Surprise”
