Cars Over Crowns 101 (A MAMAMOO Moonbyul-yi Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Amira's POV

We planned everything and have me practiced how I should act and behave all morning in the garden tea place. I can act mean but the conscience really..... I could say it's unbearable.

Her Highness, I mean Moon made me do all kinds of stuff like how to speak in an ill-mannered way to one maid who served us tea. She still clearly wasn't satisfied to what I said and gave me quick pointers for next time. I wanted to apologize to the maid but she refrained me from doing so. People here love and fear Her Highness so I have to atleast keep up on the act like I'm better than everyone else to stay here.

Since in the eyes of the Emperor we are a 'couple', she came up with a scandalous plan.

Public Display of Affection.

No one would love to see two people almost wanting to suck each other's faces in any second infront of them, especially infront of the Emperor and Queen.

Just the thought of it made my stomach churn with anxiety. I too, would think it's a crazy idea but she did have a wise point.

I had to learn how to act like I'm throwing myself at Moon and seem to look like we can't keep our hands away from each other. That's the HARDEST PART.

I mean, who would not have fallen for her looks by now when she clearly knows how to carry herself and make any girl's heart flutter and turn into a statue.

"Try saying something, you'll end up embarrassing me if you just nod your head and laugh like that." her brows furrowed. "L-Like what?"

"A broken laughing toy box." she sarcastically replied.

"What do I do?"

"I don't know, you've never flirted someone before?!" she tilted her head with an almost annoyed face. I shook my head. She sighed and massaged her temples, "Oh what am I supposed to do with you?"

"Teach me how." I finally asked. "Fine." she responded. "But first, You need to sit closer to me. You're at the edge of the loveseat as if I'm stinky or something." she pointed out.

I slowly and cautiously glided myself towards her. This is embarrassing..

She then nonchalantly put her arm over my shoulder. I felt like my soul jumped through the touch of Her Highness' arm and then poof~ fled up to the skies living this poor body to operate lifelessly.

"If you can't think of any reply to my flirty remark, Save my face with your actions." she whispered the last part in my ear. I quickly turned to look at her and just in time, our lips almost touched. My hands gripped unto my dress unknowingly as I felt her warm breath just right on my lips.

I looked up at her to search for any discontentment or atleast a sign of surprised look on her face but alas, her eyes remained on me sternly. She never flinched, and felt like she's pushing the dominance down my throat that I unconsciously gulped just at the sight of her face up close.

"You got a long way to go Amira." she whispered, shaking her head disappointingly and then backed away. "Go practice and research on how to pull THE look on your face. I want you to look bold. We'll practice next time. Till then, I don't want you cowering nor flinching like a rabbit." she said and walked away, holding her blazer.

"I'm going to the palace. Don't go out. If you need anything, just ring the head maid." I quickly nodded my head. She put her hands in the pocket of her trousers and curtly nodded at me before walking away.

I unconsciously touched my heart. What is going on? Did that scared me so much that my heart was beating like this?
