Two hours after I was taken back to the room, Ushijima walked in. I stood and tried to make myself seem taller.

"What the hell was that? I'm not marrying you! You're a piece of-"

"You are attracted to me, I am attracted to you. I do not see the issue." He crossed his arms over his chest and my plight to make myself seem bigger than I was failed immensely.

"What did you just say? I am not attracted to you!" My body called me a dirty liar.

"I see the signs in your body language and tone of voice when you speak to me."

"Ugh, you are so unromantic! You're supposed to court someone once you have a crush on Ushibaka."

His face remained impassive but his tone implied a frown. "What did you just call me?"

I froze. Whoopsie. I really needed to think before I talked. "Listen, I don't think we'd be a good match. We're completely different."

He walked over to me and grabbed my chin, forcing my head upwards. With how close he was, my head almost reached his shoulders. He lowered his face and pressed his lips to mine.

It was... actually not bad. His lips were soft and the hand on my chin was gentle.

He pulled back and stepped away from me, nodding.

"I liked that kiss. We will be wed."

I glared at him. "Excuse you, asshole! I am a human being, you can't just decide things for me!"

He blinked. "I am a Prince, so I can."

I didn't know what to say to this, so I turned around and stared at the wall. When he realized I wasn't going to talk to him anymore, he left.

I told myself to calm down. Nothing he said mattered, because I wouldn't be here after tonight.

My escape plan was a total bust.
