My Forbidden Love [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2-Who are you?

~~~

There are a million things running through my mind. Tension coursed through my body, and my hands were getting clammy.

Busted

I'm screwed

This is it

Gulping I put all my courage to speak up. Despite the storm of nerves that was blowing my stomach away.

"Who are you?"

No answer

"Um...Excuse me? I asked a question"

Nothing again

Who does this guy think he is?

"Sir, Could you please tell me who you are?" I said while gritting my teeth. My patience was really being tested to the max.

"Oh, sorry. Um, my name is Luc" He finally spoke up

Luc huh?

"Nice to meet you Sir Luc. May I ask what you were doing here?"

"No need to address me with such formality Miss...?"

"Ang-"

Crap, I almost told him my name

"Anne"

For a second his eyes lit up and he raised his eyebrows in suspicion before putting a blank expression on his face. Please buy it

"I was out here out hunting Miss Anne"

"No need to treat me with formality either. Hunting? Were you the one who shoot the stag?"

"Yes, I take it you were the one to treat him just now?"

He watching me this whole time?

I'm so dead

"U-uh-I"

Out of no his face broke into a smile and he started laughing.

"Don't worry, you're not in any trouble" He said between his chuckles

I physically breathed out a breathe of relief. If my stepmother had heard anything... God I don't want to think about it.

"If I may ask, what are you doing here?"

Do I tell this guy the truth? For some reason I feel like I can trust him. But can I? Will he betray me?

"I was just headed into town" I half lie

"Oh, but then why were you using this road? The road to the main town was that way" He said pointing

Darn

"Because... I like the scenery, and quietness?" I said though It sounded more like a question

"Hmm"

"If you don't mind me asking Luc where is it that you live?"

"I live at the palace" He says nonchalantly

"The palace?" I ask in disbelief

"Yes, I'm an apprentice there. My father's teaching me his trade"

"That's nice. Do they treat you well?"

"Yes indeed, maybe more than I deserve. How about you?"
