A transmigrated farm life of a retired soldier

🌾12

She didn't relax her vigilance but instead increased.

There was a moment of stillness in the air, as the man dressed in plain cloth. Who has beautiful green eyes and blonde hair, sighed in frustration.

The crown prince stared at the sub male infront of him with his dark gaze.

The sub male is currently on the river, her tan and lean muscular build showing like a statue curved by a great sculptor.

The crown prince didnt want any other things to disturb him in this journey.

And knowing that it was indeed their fault, the crown prince just waved a hand.

"I shall not bother u any longer" and turned to leave.

One of the men reacted " but your highness! " this sub male threw a knife in his direction almost hitting him!

The prince sighed in exasperation. His glaring green eyes stared at the man who talked. There was clear deadly warning in them.

The man grits his teeth and slowly step back, showing that he realizes his mistake.

The silent confrontation was seen by Hanna. As she still watch them walk away with vigilant gaze.

Finally realising that they are no longer there. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then starts to dress up.

The crown prince is here.. Its already not a hard time to think why he is here. He is here for one reason only... Dole.

Hanna frowns as she starts to think of possibilities. Then she sighs and smiles to herself wryly.

Why is she even thinking of these possible scenarios when she doesnt even have any authority to act for dole?

--

The same time that the crown prince came to the village.

Dole finally got the letter from his brother. It was a heartbreaking letter. He almost died suffocating at his own guilt and self blame.

As he was shaking from the despair he was feeling at the moment. Gaga came running towards him, slamming the doors in process as she said with a pale face.

"Young master!! The prince.. The crown prince is here!! "

---

The sun was bright, the wind was fresh and cold and the lovely birds creates beautiful musics to the ears.

But none can appreciate the moment.

On the garden surrounded by beautiful flowers and filled with delicious snacks and tea, there was gloom and silence.

Dole noticed how the crown prince eyes change, when he stares at his face.

And dole gave a smirk of indifference.

There was silence all along as the prince finally talked. "I wont be polite anymore.. Dole, " he said with a firm tone. The prince lazy green eyes look around the place, and finally landing on his face.

"Is it u who try to assassinate him? "

Dole didnt care, he didnt even blink when this man just casually think of him as the suspect at anything that ever happens to that person.

"Im only a broken vase now your highness.. And if i indeed do that, i wouldn't be so stupid to let those assassins carry my 'missing' jewelry with them" dole said flatly.

The prince squints his eyes and nodded. "Of course.. Thats unlike u. You are more smarter than that"

The prince leans back in his chair. And smirks. "But,.. You know i don't even let even a single mosquito harm him.. "

"Rafael" doles firm voice rang calling his name. Doles stunning blue eyes stared at his green ones. "I do not care more or less of your obsession. I do not have power any longer.. I do not have fame, nor any of the possibility that i can retaliate and kill your lover. If u want to kill me.. Do it,.. But let my family go"

The prince stared at him.

And he shook his head. "Youre still as stubborn as the day i met you"

Dole grits his teeth in anger.

The prince stares at him again, and smirks. "But.. What can i do.. Im not quite happy with that thought.. How about u give me something.. Like.. I dont know.. I dont want to commit murder.. You are still a childhood friend of mine after all"

The prince sighs and smiles. "U see, my lover is still jealous at the thought of u even though u and i are done.. And he knew i did it if i kill u.. So.. Why dont u just get married? "

The prince raise a brow. "Isnt it a good solution to my part and yours?.. I will let your family go... I get my own satisfaction. And yours.... "

Dole frowns. He knew it was the best decision.

Yet he still cant agree.

"How can i make sure my marriage can help my family at ease"

The prince smiled. He looked like he was blessed by the gods.. Yet underneath that, is a snake that is ready to strike. "Because if u get married.. My lovers heart will be put at ease"

Dole wants to punch his smirk off. But despite his itchy fist. He stilled himself, closing his eyes to calm down.

".. Alright.. " dole took a deep breath. " i will marry, and i hope you will be satisfied " he grits his teeth.

🍚

He didn't know where he got the guts to say that, .. As soon as they went i side his room. He started panicking.

The prince will leave tonight. But he will leave a person that will see if he really gets married. Take a proof and send it to the prince.

Hes a lunatic!! A lunatic!

"Gaga.. Who is willing enough to marry me?!"

He cant think of anyone. His mind immediately cut off the possibility of marrying a low ranking noble. But with his reputation, and now that he have nothing to offer..
No one will probably agree.

Its not the worst part. The prince had driven him to the edge. The only thing that comes to mind now is marrying.. A commoner.

The prince himself, is making sure to cut down his familys nobility. Its a situation where he will use dole as an example to the other nobles who try to oppose him of having his comminer lover as a queen.

.. Its.. Lunacy.

"Young master.. " gagas eyes were filled with pain. Watching him walk and talk to himself. Biting his thumbnail.

"Gaga.. Who in their right mind.. Would be willing to marry me? "..

At the moment. Dole hoped he didn't destroy his face.. So.. So at this situation. He can have something to offer.. Even to a noble, his face was more than enough to fight for..

But now.. He have nothing..

Gaga watch him with worry. And a fighre came to mind. " master.. Theres still Hana.. "

Dole paused. Looking at her.

"Hana.. " gaga smiled softly. "She looks like a good person.. And i know master feels it too.. Its just.. She was no noble.. And a commoner.. Young master.. " gagas eyes became teary. "I know you dont want to implicate others.. Specially hana in your matters. But.. Please.. "

Gaga fell on her knees. Bowing. "Young master.. Theres nothing wrong being selfish for once.. I dont want.. To see you crumble.. "

"Gaga.. " he choked at the emotions he felt.

"Young master.. Im only loyal to u.. So please hear my plea. Ive been with u since i came to the dukedom. I dont want to see you crumble and fall to dust. So please.. Be more selfish.. And ill be with u all the way"

She wants him to be selfish , and choose hana, talk to hana to agreeing. Or maybe forcing hana..
