Yandere Prince X Magical Reader

Travel

You gave each of the boys a kiss on the cheek and hugged your grandparents.

Cherri looked worried as he comforted Inui, who was crying. Domi was sulking in his anger and Porri was asking Grimm about everything that was packed, making sure you had everything you needed.
You walked over to Cherri.
"Cherri, take care of them. Porri needs to take a bath tonight, Inui needs to go be with Lynn for a while, try and get Domi to to do something other then sulk." You place your hand on his cheek "And you need to talk to Carol, let it all out."

"I love you guys." You say as the Prince opens the carriage door for you.
The Prince gives you his hand to help you up into the carriage, a triumphant smile on his face as you accept his help.

The Prince follows you in, sitting across from you, due to the luggage taking up the space next to you.
You looked through the window and waved to your family as the carriage began to move.

It was early, and nobody was awake as the horses trotted passed the quiet homes.
As you see the gate to the outside world, you suddenly get anxious. It wells up in your chest and you begin to sweat nervously. You feel like you might throw up.
Was it too late to go back?
You glance to the Prince.
His eyes are locked on you, but he looks concerned, eyebrows furrowed as he looks at your trembling image.
"Why are you so fearful? I swear, I have no intentions of doing anything terrible to you." His voice was laden with worry as he spoke.

You shook your head quickly.
"No, its not that! I'm not afraid of you.. I just.."
You hesitate, glancing away from the Prince. You felt oddly embarrassed.
Saying that you were scared because you had never left your village before, doesn't it sound childish? Let alone saying it to somebody like him, somebody who likely travels all over the land regularly for business.
Looking back up at him you noticed that his expression hadn't changed from before.
"I've never.. Left my village before. And I'm nervous- well, scared, actually." You said timidly.
He sighed in relief at first before standing up, despite the bumpiness Of the dirt rode.
He moved the bags from the seat beside you and sat next to you.

"I know we aren't extremely close, and perhaps you're mad at me for stealing you away like this."
he smiled softly at you.
"But perhaps I could comfort you?"
You nod, despite the tinge of discomfort.
He smiles and turns towards you, Delicately wrapping his arms around you and gently holding you to his chest. The warmth from his body was a nice break from the icy morning air. You rested your hand on his chest and moved into a more comfortable position, leaning into him.
You can hear his heartbeat now.
Its a bit fast, but slow enough to sooth you. He rests one hand on your head, holding you to his chest.
As you approach the gate, you close your watery eyes and curl up into him more.

A few moments pass and all you can hear is the trotting hoovesteps of the horses, and the steady beat of the Princes heart.

His hand on your head moves to rest on you shoulder.
"See?" You can hear his voice rumble in his chest as he speaks.
"That wasn't so bad." He smiles down at you.

"Thank you.." You mumble into his chest. His light chuckle is like joyful thunder in your ear.
"You seem comfortable"
You blush and hide your face, but don't move away.
"That's good. Its going to be a long trip home. We'll likely get there in the early morning tomorrow, before even the sun wakes up."
You smile. His childish analogy of the rising sun was rather cute, and unexpected of a royal.

"I have a few books you could read if you get too bored." You hear his heart speed up slightly "There's even some puzzle books, and I had Grimm pack a few snacks if you'd like to-"
You stop him.
"No"
He stutters "Huh? Wh-What?"
You bury your face in his chest. "I'm okay like this at the moment, if you don't mind.."
His heart suddenly starts beating rapidly and he gingerly rests his hand on your head again.
"I see."
You notice his voice crack slightly.
"That's fine. I'm enjoying this as well, if I'm honest.."

His heart is still beating quickly, but gradually returning to normal.
Every time you adjust your position, it speeds up slightly.

You heard Grimm talking to the horses, like you would to a pet.
Apparently one is named Meredith, and Meredith keeps huffing at him like an angsty teen whenever he tells her to do something.
You've been still for a while, listening to Grimm talk to his horses.

As you were listening to Grimms "conversation" with the horse, the Prince rests his head on yours.
Is he asleep? His heart beat is very calm, so you assume he is. His breathing also seems very relaxed.
You don't want to wake him, so you lay there quietly. Listening only to the heartbeat of a Prince, and the trotting of a rebellious horse.
