Changing The Course of Fate

Chapter 42 - Prince of the Forbidden Snow

"Beauty..." Gideon said as he was also tranced with Pier's appearance.

"Huh?" Pier asked as he tilted his head in confusion.

He looked back once more at the townspeople and everyone was still staring at him.

'Am I not welcome here?' He thought as everyone was silent.

Elena gritted her teeth as she watched everyone who was just cheering for her a few minutes ago all stare at Pier as if they were staring at some sort of godly being.

'How dare that loser steal them from me!' She silently fumed. She immediately turned to Asher to tell him to do something. However, she was surprised to see Asher also quietly staring at Pier with unknown emotions.

The Crown Prince had a look of longing and awe on his face as his eyes scanned the young master's tall and confident posture. Pier really did look like a prince that came out of a novel.

"My eyes are not worthy enough to see something like this."

"Ah, the sight of such stunning man to have grazed been upon by my wandering eye!"

"Don't you think the young master resembles the Prince of the Forbidden Snow?"

"Really?"

"Wait... now that you've said it... he really does look and resemble the Prince of the Forbidden Snow!"

People were whispering about Pier and how he resembled the second male lead of a certain novel that was popular among the commoners. The Prince of the Forbidden Snow was the certain antagonist of the novel 'Back to the Nights of Winter'.

"Pale skin, blue eyes, tall frame... the young master really does resemble the prince!"

"Only if he had white hair, he would certainly be the real-life reincarnation of the Prince of the Forbidden Snow!" A young commoner maiden squealed as she shamelessly raked Pier's entire figure with her eyes.

Elena who heard all the whispers of the people in the boundary flared up in anger. Her blood boiled as to why Pier was getting the attention that she wanted.

She turned to Asher and held the prince's arm. Asher who realized he was staring at Pier turned his head to the lady who had a pitiful expression on her face.

"Your highness, can we proceed now to the important things we needed to do? I wanted to rest if I dare may say for I am still tired from what has happened this morning." She said and coughed a little bit.

Asher who saw the fragile woman in front of him called upon his servants.

"Bring Lady Elena a coat to protect her from the cold as well." the servants bowed respectfully before hurrying to grab Elena a coat.

She smiled warmly at the Prince and Asher did the same. Their warm interaction made some of the people who were watching Pier look back at them and admire the two.

Elena smiled as she turned to look at Pier.

'Now I have everyone's attention again.' She secretly smirked as her gaze landed on Pier.

But it soon faded away as she saw what was happening.

The handsome knight that helped the young master get off the carriage was kneeling in front of him while he was tying something in Pier's hands.

"Young Master, please allow me to put these gloves on your hands for you might be cold." Gideon offered once Pier was fully revealed off the carriage.

"Wha...t? Wait, no, Gideon, you don't have to," Pier whispered hurriedly as people were still watching and it would definitely be embarrassing if someone were to put on his gloves for him.
