Just a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 30

-3rd POV-

Back then....

"How do I look today Pia?" A little girl asked her lady in waiting,

"You look adorable as ever my lady." Pia replied.

'Ahh, my lady. How can you be so cute?' She thought.

"Really? I can't wait to meet with the prince." Patricia smiled excitedly.

Today was the day where Patricia will meet Leo as his playmate.

The carriage arrived at the palace and Patricia jumped off the carriage playfully.

"My lady! Don't run!" Pia shouted.

Patricia ran to the prince's room and banged the door opened.

"Prince! My name is Patricia! You can call me Shasha!" She shouted with joy.

Leo only sat on the chair and looked at Shasha with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, pardon me for my rudeness. Greetings to the crown prince. May Nirvana's blessing be upon you." She curtsied.

"Hmn." Leo hummed.

Shasha raised her head and looked at Leo's face.

He was handsome as the rumor said. What she saw made her blush.

That was the first time that she wanted to get close to a person that badly.

"Can I call you Leo?" Shasha asked shyly.

"How dare you. Get out this instant. I don't need a playmate." Leo said and continued to read his book.

"But!"

"Now." He cut her off.

"..Alright. Then I'll see you tomorrow your highness." Shasha bowed.

'I'll never give up on you.' She thought in a determined way.

Ever since Shasha was lovestruck, she never failed to visit the crown prince to play.

But Leo always rejected her.

"My lady, you should already stop visiting his highness." Pia said.

"No! I want to keep viviting him! I want to play with him, I want to laugh with him, I want him to be my friend!" She shouted.

"Then.... you should just get engaged to him." Pia suggested.

"Engage? Yes! I'll ask father to get engaged to him! That way, we'll always be together!"

Shasha ran off and talked to her father.

When the Duke heard of his daughter's plea, he thought that is was a nice proposal.

It will strengthen the alliance of the imperial family and the Cornwall family.

"Alright Shasha. I'll talk to the emperor." He said.

"Really?! Yayy!! Thank you Papa!" She hugged him.

The next day after, Duke Cornwall rode a carriage towards the palace.

But on the way, he died.

Thus, the suggestion regarding the engagement never happened.

But, Shasha was persistent. Even though her father died, what she only wanted right now was the prince.

She already fell hard for the prince. She became obsessed. And crazy.

One day, Shasha went to visit the prince as usual but couldn't find him in the room.
