It's been days since the Prince and I made that deal and still I couldn't figure out, what he means of acting as his fiancé when need to be... But the good thing is, my engagement with Jonathan has been called off.
Of course, the Campbells won't just sit back and do nothing. And as I've read the newspapers lately, they've been telling off journalists that this was an outragous scandal. I've never expected the Campbells to act so ridiculously.
A SHOCKING LOVE TRIANGLE UNFOLDS!
.... due to irrational reasons for breaking off an engagement. The Campbell family is filing a complaint and are demanding a huge sum of money as compensation for the harm done.
The Campbell family is willing to file a lawsuit if needed.
Ugh... If only I knew that this could've been resolved by money from the beginning then I wouldn't have made the deal with the Prince anyway!
And everyone in the kingdom assumed that the Prince, pretending to be Duke Horenvolt and I were going to get married due to political reasons and future prospects only.
I grumbled. But I already signed the contract... I have no choice but to keep my word.
Besides there's something more bothersome right now... I was in the library when I looked at a man with an auburn hair and brown eyes near the door... guarding. He's lean and perhaps seems to be a high schooler. Asher Carsten..in favor of the Prince.. He is to be my bodyguard starting from today.
.....
In the novel, the Prince is always accompanied by his four trustworthy men that swore loyalty only to him. Taylor Kleuff, his spy and assasin, Sawyer Rade, his military commanding officer, Cash Preston, his strategist and assistant and lastly, Asher Carsten... his mage.
The four of them made themselves known to the underworld, the black market, mercenaries etc. That's why the Prince handpicked them by himself.
But for some reason... he sent his most trusted mage to me? He doesn't trust me that much that the Prince sent him here to watch me?
Plus the way he's staring at me is like he's going to burn a hole right through my head.
Those who don't know Asher, may think that he's too young to the position Adriene has given him but for those who have seen him.. Would rather keep their mouths shut 'cause not only that he's good with magic.. He's also good at swordmanship.
When he was young, he used to live in the streets doing the best he can to survive. Until he found out that he has a great aptitude for magic, he used this skill to work at the black market where the Prince found him there. Owing his life to him, he swore to protect Adriene at all costs and accompanied him in many battles. Magic also have limitations of their own that's why he trained himself to be one of deadliest swordmasters in the kingdom.
