Beatrix feels extreme heartache while thinking about their huge differences...

Is this heaven's way of saying that we do not belong to each other? That we are simply not meant to be? We are very different from each other... I love him and I want to marry him but does he feel the same? I want to be with him... But is it wrong and not meant to be from the very beginning?

She sadly wondered. She already realized the nature of her feelings for Prince Andrew long ago during the drowning incident, particularly when he was pronounced dead! After the incident, she wanted to tell him several times but she could not find the courage to tell him because she had so many hesitations...

What if he is only treating me well because of my family background and the previous Emperor's decree?

What if he is only forced because of the marriage arrangement and he does not really love me or even like me?

He has so many admirers... What if his heart belongs to one of them? He just cannot express it openly because of the marriage arrangement...

She does not want to turn their nice treatment of each other into something very awkward if it turned out to be that the feeling is only one-sided so her feelings remained a secret and were left unsaid.

"That is okay! I will eat it!" Prince Andrew said excitedly and sat down on the seat facing her.

I will accept anything from you, Beatrix... If it means I could be with you!

Beatrix asked him about his new duties and responsibilities. He happily shared with her the interesting things and even the things he is not comfortable with because she is his wife in his mind and heart...

Before midnight, he reluctantly cut their interaction to let her rest because he does not want to make her so tired for tomorrow's scheduled events. Before he left, he thickened his face and braced himself for her rejection... He could understand if she will refuse because waiting for a long time is no joke. Plus, it will not be good for her reputation if they are caught seeing each other in this late-night hour... But he is so desperate to see her daily and to be with her always! There is no other way so he gathered his courage and asked her!

"Can I visit you tomorrow night... same time?" His heart beats faster, feeling worried that she will say 'No' so he immediately added. "I will bring your favorite snacks..." He wants to smack himself after he realized that he seems to be bribing her. She might think about it the wrong way!

"Okay. I will wait." She replied, thinking about preparing his favorite snacks too...

If he is willing to compromise, there is no reason for me not to do the same.

And so several nights passed like that, Prince Andrew will do his best to finish his daily tasks early so she will not wait too long. She is like a good and loving wife patiently waiting for her husband to go home from his work while he is like a loving and faithful husband who will immediately go home to his wife right after work.

Prince Andrew happily stared at Beatrix, who became taller and more attractive since her womanly features are very prominent now. Her tall and seductive figure gracefully walks with her maids in tow. He chose to stand outside her courtyard and wait for her to go out... As they are growing up, he is always wondering where she is storing all the food that she ate since her body remained so slim, especially the waist. He smiled as he recalled that Beatrix eats six to nine times a day... She eats breakfast, morning snack, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, lupper, dinner, late-night meal, and midnight snack depending on her mood. Now as he looked at her proud and prominent womanly features, especially her bosom and buttocks, he finally figured out where all the nutrients went! He has a lot of free time today and he would like to spend it with her...

"What do you have in mind?" She asked him how they are going to spend their free time together.

"How about we play children's games for the last time?" He told her, feeling so embarrassed but he wants to try those things with her. It irks him so much whenever she plays stupid games like hide-and-seek with his brother when they were so young. He does not want her to retain those memories! He wants to replace it with their memories instead!

"Meaning?" She eyed him suspiciously.

"I know you like playing hide-and-seek but I was not able to do that with you when we were still so young. Can we play it now?" He is embarrassed but it bothers him so much that Beatrix and his imperial brother have so many happy childhood memories together.

"Are you sure? We are no longer children and the games Anders and I played before are not to your liking..." She teased him because she knew that he likes logical, strategic, and mentally challenging games instead of outdoor games.
