The Devil In Guise - Chapter 104

*****

The Author’s POV.

Angelina saw what happened between the prince and Elsa. She wasn’t surprise because that was who he was. Going about finding comfort with any thing in skirt. It seemed like the slap she gave him the other day wasn’t enough.

And Elsa, she was just a gold digging bi*tch. Few month back , she was with one of the commanders of the army. Today, prince Stefan was the target and he was foolishly falling for her.

She went to meet them where they stood. Stefan had a shock on his face. He was really surprised to see her in market this early. But, Angelina shrugged. She didn’t tell him that she was coming to the well this morning. She only came to buy vegetables for her mother.

“Greetings my prince” she bowed. He didn’t respond though his lips parted. “You cane to the market ?”

“Yes .. no .. I was just passing by. I didn’t know you were going to be in the village by this time” He stammered.  Stefan felt like biting his tongue. Why was it’s disgracing him in front of Angelina.

He wished had confident like his brother Lincoln, who would stand in front of any lady and talk freely with.

“But here I am. Mother sent me to get vegetables. Thank goodness I came” Angelina said, showing the bag, she was carrying. It’s was full of fresh lettuces, tomatoes, onions and peppers.

Let me help you Stefan told her. His friends were surprised that he wanted to help Angelina. Of course, he was a gentleman and would do the same if it was another girl.

He took the bag from her and started walking. She wanted to start a conversation but what would him take her for? A Desperado of course.

“How are your parents ?” he finally broke the silence. Her strong perfume almost drive him out of his mind. Stefan tried to close the big gap between them.

“They are fine.” she replied, trying her  best to catch with him. Stefan was a prince yet, he walked fast like a soldier.

He noticed that he was faster than her and he changed in to. Slow walk.

“So what is your reply or I have to wait ?” He said, ruffling his hair. She found him cute now.

Angelina started smiling. Was the prince this eager to hear from her? Of course he was going to get answer today. Maybe a yes or no! What ever it was , he should just take it.

“Say something Angelina. The suspense is killing me,” he stopped walking and held her hand. Cold shiver ran through her spine when they touched. She wasn’t expecting her body to respond so fast. “I will take what ever it is.”

Angelina turned around and the place was quiet. They were out of the market. She took a deep breath and said “Yes. I want to be with you .”

A smile appeared on his face suddenly. He took one of the rings on his finger and gave to her. You made me so happy Angelina. My heart lift for joy, if you could see it, then you would have understand better.

“Then let it continue, Because I don’t want it to stop” she said, in low tone. “I have to go now my prince. I will see you tomorrow.”

“When and how?”

“I will communicate with your friends. You don’t have to worry. They will get my message” Angelina said.

“Take care of your self ” he said, releasing her hand. “I can’t wait to see you again.”

Stefan watched her leaving. He felt like running after her to express more of his love. His love story had began and it’s was going to have a lot of tales to talk about.

After he saw Angelina off, Stefan returned back to his friends looking happily but anxious They were dying of anxiety.

‘What took you so long ?” Sigurd asked. Stefan saw that they were worried about him. He loved them as much they loved him.

“My heart kept beating like I am the waiting for the girl’s reply” Mustapha said. “If it was a normal girl then we wouldn’t have even bother but it was Angelina, the girl who didn’t think twice before slapping your handsome face. I wondered if she didn’t noticed the necklace on you wore.

Stefan touched the necklace, he wore. It’s signified that he was a prince. May be Angelina didn’t see that day.  “It’s doesn’t matter, the slap has been slapped already and the pain is gone, will you two stop reminding me of the awful moment. They are many memories I set to make with my Angelina.”

“It seemed you have good news. Tell me, what was her reply ?” Mustapha asked.

“She said… yes!” Stefan told them. His friends almost screamed in the market. The people around just stood and watched them.

“You are indeed a man of honor Stefan. I am proud to be your friend” Sigurd hugged him. “So when are you two getting married?”

“Stop it. They just started and you are asking for an invitation to their wedding?” Mustapha asked.

“I think I should go back to the palace now. My mother watched every of my movement, I don’t want her to know about Angelina” Stefan said. Queen mother Daria was going to be against their relationship because Angelina was a commoner and a migrate. Sometimes, he wished he was not a prince.

The next morning, Stefan and Angelina shared walnut cake at the market.

The following day,  they ate chicken curry at her house, also, they drank tea together.

In evening, the two decided to stayed at Sigurd’s  place and chat together. Stefan was reading a book while Angelina kept on walking around the room.

Today, he brought her some flowers and shoes.

“You don’t need to bother your self with these she  told him”.

She went to where he was reading, pick up a book, she looked at what he underlined and smiled as she read aloud from a section entitled ” how to fall in love again”

“This passage teaches about love, its for those who are finding difficult to love”.

“I believe it is” he smiled.

“I don’t understand” she laughed, closing the book, and picking up another. ” Hundred ways to love”.

“Weird books” she said, watching him take the books back to the shelves. “They are not mine but Sigurd’s. He wants to fall in love before the year finishes. Sounds crazy for me though.”

“But not for him. Have you told any one about us ?” Angelina asked. She didn’t want Stefan to tell his family about them.

“No I didn’t. Do you want me to ?” He asked looking deep in you’re her eyes. Quickly, she withdrew her eyes and faced the wall.

“No. Let’s get to Know each other first. I have not told my parents too. If you are going to tell your family then you should let me know before doing it.”

“I see. I will tell them at the right time. My mother traveled but she would be back.”

So Queen mother Daria was not in town! No wonder Stefan was not panicking. It’s was obvious that he feared his mother more than expected. She was yet to find out why.

Also, within these few days , she had spent with him, Angelina noticed that there was a problem the brothers. From speech and comments of his friends, it was obvious that there was no unity in the family.

“Will she accept me?” Angelina narrowed her brows.

Stefan was surprised that she asked the same question he was running away from. Queen mother Daria was not going to accept a commoner in the family. Only princesses were allowed to marry the sons of the royal family. When he tried to abolish that his mother stopped him saying he didn’t have the right to do so.

We will talk about this later. I need to go back to palace immediately he said, standing up from the chair.

Angelina had no choice but to follow him. He opened the door of the house and she went outside. The villagers looked at them when they walked together. Stefan knew that when Queen mother Daria comes back, there were going to be plenty of gossip for her.
