3rd Persons POV
Habang nag hihintay si Mary na mag simula ang pinaka focus ng party kung saan kokoronahan na ang kaniyang kapatid na si Kaiden bilang bagong hari ng bansang kinaroroonan nila, may mga lalaking lumapit sa kaniya na may ngiti sa labi.
"You're more gorgeous than the fake Celestine I met" sabi ng isang lalaki na hindi naman kilala ni Mary kaya wala na siyang nagawa kundi ang ngumiti ng pilit
"I guess, thank you" pilit nitong sambit sa kaniya at nagulat siya ng makipag shakehand sa kaniya yung lalaki kaya tinanggap niya na lamang ito
"I'm an Earl from Scotland, Joachim Alexis Lennox just call me Alexis" magalang na sabi ni Mary at napayuko siya ng bahagya
"Its nice to meet you Earl Alexis---"
"Alexis leave her alone" biglang saad ni Luke mula sa likuran ni Mary
"Why? I just want to get to know her" sagot naman ni Alexis kay Luke
"Stop playing dumb. I know you too well. Don't make me repeat myself, leave her alone" madiin na sabi ni Luke
Mary is glad because Luke is with her, if not hindi niya alam kung paano siya makikisalamuha sa mga tao sa paligid niya lalo na't hindi siya sanay na makipagusap sa mga ito.
"I just want to talk to her, and if possible, I will ask her brother for permission to marry her." sagot ni Alexis na halos ikinagulat ni Mary nang marinig ito. Ito pa lang ang una nilang pagkikita at hindi niya inaakalang merong lalaking aayain siya na maging asawa nito at mag papaalam pa talaga sa kaniyang kapatid kaysa mismo sa kaniya
"Mary is---"
"An Earl is not a suitable candidate to be my husband. If you're a Prince or maybe a Grand Duke, I'll consider your proposal" Mary said while raising her left eyebrow on Alexis
"But---"
"You heard her Alexis, right? In short, she's not interested on you" Luke said that makes Earl Alexis leave them alone
"Thank you for helping me out, Luke" nakangiting sabi ni Mary kay Luke
"You're welcome, I'm glad to help you in this little things so that I can at least make up for what I have done to you" tugon ni Luke sa kaniya
"You know what even after what you've done to me the last time we met, I still miss you" Mary said that makes Luke startled on what she said to him that makes his hope up.
"In that case, do I still have a chance to you?" Luke asked to Mary that makes her become silent
"Actually, I d--"
"So you choose him over me, I understand" mabilis na saad ni Luke at bakas sa kaniyang mukha na nawawalan na siya ng pag-asa na mapasakaniya ang nag iisang babae na nag papatibok ng kaniyang puso
"Its not what you think Luke. Let me explain to clear myself to you" tugon ni Mary sa kaniya
"I wont choose between you and him. As you can see, I'm still not used to being the princess in this country that's why I need more time to digest everything." mahinang sambit ni Mary kay Luke habang nakayuko siya. Ayaw niyang tumingin sa mata ni Luke dahil takot siyang harapin ito.
"I know and I'm willing to wait for you until you accept me despite my flaws" sabi ni Luke at bigla niyang hinawakan ang dalawang kamay ni Mary at mahigpit itong pinisil sabay halik sa likod ng palad nito na nakapag-pamula kay Mary
"Luke, maybe when the time is right, I will open my heart to you but not now. I'm still confuse and I still need to recuperate" sambit nito at humiwalay siya sa hawak ni Luke
