    Chapter 39 The first meal with the prince

    I stayed in my room for several days.In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Prince’s last sentence, “Don’t fucking run around anymore”, is a disguised expression that I have been grounded, so don’t bother him outside in the future.My world was suddenly reduced to this small suite. I was really bored, so I could only stand on the terrace and look at the garden below in a daze.

    I almost fell into depression and cried several times.Letty was very worried and kept urging me to go out and play, nothing would happen, but I just shook my head and smiled bitterly to myself.She didn’t see Leon’s anger that day, nor would she understand Leon’s disgust for me.Now he is the most supreme person in this country. If I offend him, killing me is like strangling an ant to him.I have died once, and it was an unpleasant experience.If I get killed again this time, I don’t dare to hope that I will travel through time again and have a third life.

    Being bored not only affected my mood, but also my appetite.I was a child who had suffered a lot and didn’t like to waste food. Plus, when I was growing, I used to eat from my dinner plate as if it had been licked by a dog.And now every time after dinner, Letty looks at the almost untouched plate and shakes her head.Over ten days passed, and I lost weight throughout my life. In the end, I didn’t even go to the terrace, and just slept in bed with my head covered.

    I really hope this is all a weird dream.I just want to sleep, keep sleeping, maybe when I wake up, everything will change and everything will be fine.

    Gradually I slept more than I was awake, and didn’t care about anything, not even wanting to see the light.In the haze, Letty seemed to have persuaded me many times, and she even shed tears.But I turned my head groggyly and fell asleep again.

    This seemed to go on for a long time. I felt so comfortable in the dark. No one could see me, hurt me, or taint me.I no longer have to fight for fame and fortune, no longer have to scheming and cautiously survive, I can just stay quietly without anyone disturbing me…

    However, when I shrank into my shell and felt extremely satisfied, this state was cruelly broken.That afternoon, Letty suddenly opened the thick curtains, letting the dazzling sunlight penetrate into the room.As if I had been stabbed, I tried my best to hide under the quilt.Letty was extremely insistent, dug me out of bed, and told me that His Royal Highness the Prince had ordered that the weekly royal dinner be resumed starting today.

    I’m confused.Standing stupidly on the carpet, Letty put on clothes without even realizing it.As I was brushing my hair, I suddenly panicked.

    I don’t want to go, I don’t want to see the prince who holds the power of life and death over me and sees me as a thorn in his side!

    I looked at Letty in the mirror, my mouth opened, but nothing came out.

    Now, who can I rely on to protect me?

    I remained bitter and scared in silence.Letty directed the maids to finish dressing me up, and led me to the gorgeous royal dining room with a dull look on my face.I feel like I haven’t stepped here for a long time. Everything is so bright that I can’t hide anything.The prince hasn’t arrived yet, and I don’t know if Igland will come. I don’t dare to sit down now, for fear of being picked on by them again, so I can only stand awkwardly next to the long dining table.Just as he was at a loss, the restaurant door opened and the servant announced “His Royal Highness” at the same time, Leon strode in.

    He is wearing dinner-attire, which is perfectly tailored to fit his body shape and should create an elegant image.However, he’s extremely short blond hair looked like it had not been combed, and was messy and thorny. In addition, he had an aggressive and rough demeanor, a handsome face that was gloomy, and there was no elegance in his body. On the contrary, it was very dangerous, and he gave him the image of a tyrannical prince.I was frightened and hurriedly lowered my head. He glanced at me coldly, passed by me, and sat down on the main seat.

    That used to be Uther’s seat. After Uther left, Igland was supposed to sit… But who cares?Eagle knew this very well, so he sent a servant to say that she was not feeling well and could not come to the dinner.

    No one would be surprised by this – Leon was already sitting on the main seat with his legs stretched wide.If Iglan doesn’t come, it means that all the members of the royal dinner have arrived, only Leon and me.

    I was still standing on the edge in embarrassment, not daring to move.Until I heard Leon’s impatient voice: “What are you doing, why don’t you sit down?”

    I slowly walked to the table and sat on the left side of he.I secretly hate the ominous position of this location, which is too close to he. If he wants to hit me, he can just reach out and hit me.I thought so, and unconsciously moved to the edge of the stool, trying to get further away from him.

    We were both seated, and the servants began to pass the dishes around.Soup, meat, fruit, wine… There were only the sounds of servants coming and going in the spacious dining room, and neither Leon nor I said a word.The food gradually piled up in front of me, but I couldn’t swallow it.In order to show off, he managed to eat a few mouthfuls, then lowered his eyes and remained still.

    “Why don’t you eat?”

    The suffocating silence was broken by Leon’s words.I didn’t expect he would talk to me, so I couldn’t help but stay blank and didn’t answer.

    “Don’t like these? What do you want to eat?”

    He actually continued to talk to me.The cold tone fell into my ears as a mockery of my picky eater.I felt endless grievances in my heart, my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and my eyes turned red uncontrollably.I clutched the hem of my skirt tightly with my hands and tried my best to endure it, warning myself not to cry. If I cried, it would anger him even more.But tears still came up uncontrollably.

    “Why are you crying!” Sure enough, he’s voice became violent: “If you don’t like to eat, just eat something else!”

    Tears had begun to roll down, and I didn’t dare to wipe them away. I lowered my head in a vain attempt to hide them.His little body tensed on the seat, trembling slightly.Leon immediately became angry, stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed my wrist: “Hey! You…”

    “Yeah!” I exclaimed, eyes wide open, looking at he in horror, tears falling down like broken beads.Leon looked at me, his face full of anxiety.

    “I’m just asking you to eat! Why do you have to cry!” he shouted at me with a loud voice: “Why don’t you eat!”

    “I, I can’t eat…” I was shaking with fear, crying and choking, trying to squeeze out a sentence.

    “Why can’t I eat it?”

    “I don’t know!” I couldn’t bear it anymore and cried out: “No, don’t hit me…”

    “You…!” After hearing my words, Leon froze, and then his face turned blue with anger.He spat out a word, but didn’t follow it. After holding it for a few seconds, he suddenly threw away my wrist, and then overturned the dinner plate in front of him. There was a loud “clang” sound, which almost scared me to the ground.And he stood up suddenly, said nothing, and left the restaurant angrily.

    As soon as he left, I didn’t want to stay here for a second. I almost fled back to my bedroom, threw myself on the bed and cried bitterly. I just wanted to cry my heart and lungs out. Letty was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she didn’t know how to persuade me.In the end, I cried until I was drowsy, and it was sleep that saved me from this humiliation.
