Falling For Miss Captain : LOVE Vs DUTY

When the two guards returned to the villa, they called the Prince before they reached there and informed him of Yelena's decision to wander around for a while.

Felix couldn't wait for it anymore. The sun had already set, so he decided to go to her. He couldn't wait to rush to her but considering her standing, he got changed. Dressing in all black - a black leather jacket and pants, a black cap and a mid-ankle boot which made him resembled a military man; he was all fit to landed his foot in a public place.

He drove a car and followed his fiancee's location which appeared on his phone. Then he saw her there, standing near a wall, enjoying the mesmerizing view of his country. Staring at her who seemed to be lost in her thoughts, he unconsciously stood still for a while. Why did she look unhappy? Was it because of him?

Soon, he felt the urge to ran to her and pulled her into an embrace but he barely controlled himself. He didn't even know if his disguise fooled everyone. There might be some paparazzi lingering around. He wanted to let her hold onto a normal life for a little longer.

"You seem to have quite a fun today." He said when he was just a few steps from her.

When she heard his voice, she immediately turned to the right where he was standing and Matthew did the same. They both seemed to be shocked by his appearance. They should be. He didn't inform them that he would be coming.

Matthew quickly bowed but he didn't address him. It would draw suspicion and unwanted attention. He walked to them and first glanced at Matthew. "Good job, Matthew." He said. Forget about everything else, it's good that she at least let him tagged along. It made him less worried.

Understanding that it's time to get to his real job, Matthew instantly distanced himself from them. He will be watching over them from a distance.

"You came? What if you get exposed?" Yelena said. A mixed of worried and surprised were seen on her face.

"That's why if you finish your business here, let's go somewhere else. This place is too crowded." Felix opined and held her hands. When she nodded, he quickly pulled her and take her away.

After minutes of walking down, they reached the place where the Prince's car was parked. They both took a seat in the back seat while Matthew sat in the driver seat.

"Aren't you tired? Shall we go to the villa?" Felix asked as his eyes swept around the place. When he finally turned his eyes to her, he noticed an amusing smile on her face which made him confused.

"I never see you dressed up this way," Yelena commented as she observed his dress. She always saw him dressed formally or casually. But this time, the vibe of the Prince or a businessman was not in him. Instead, his boots made him looked like a soldier while his clothing resembled that of a gangster!

Felix and a gangster?! She chuckled at the contrary words.

Felix's calm face was replaced by a grumpy one. He already felt weird himself! Was it really necessary to laughed at him?!

"Skip the brattiness. I'm already uncomfortable enough." He bluntly said. Crossing his arms, he stared at her as if he was a father trying to discipline his child!

"You should dress up more like that. It suits you." Yelena dryly said. She was speaking her mind but she finds it so hard to be serious!

The way he dressed up now was how she and the other soldiers always dressed up during their missions and training while wearing a uniform was not necessary. She had already gotten used to it but seeing him in the same style, she never once imagined that! But still, she was convinced that he looked great in them.

She stared at him and noticed that he was not entertained by her words. Maybe he thought that she was joking around with him!

Putting on a displeased face for a while, Felix finally sighed and smiled at her. "You're right. I don't have much choice in clothing due to my public status but I look great whatever I wear." He flashed a troublesome sweet smile.

Yes, troublesome. That's how Yelena defined! How narcissistic! Even if it's the truth, must he really say that?! When she read about him in some articles, she finds out how he was the dream guy and ideal type of many women, especially from this country. Even well-known female celebrities were charmed by him! Recalling those articles, her mood dampened.

"Did those women who are falling for you head over heels said that?" She asked in almost a sarcastic voice.

"What women?" Felix promptly asked. 

"You see, I read some articles and you are quite popular among women, so -"

"If you have time to read those, how about you use them to know me more?" He seemed to be annoyed but she was puzzled when his words were followed by a light chuckle.

"What do you mean?" She frowned a little. Why can't he get just get straight to the point? She hated it when he beat around the bush!

"I mean, I don't care about those women or articles. It's not my fault that they like me. I don't even know them. So..." He paused and flicked her in the forehead. "It's no use to let yourself be bothered." He added. His lips curved into an amusing smile. Was she jealous?

Rubbing her forehead, she glared at him. "If you do that again, I will surely kill you." She warned him yet he still laughed.

"It's necessary whenever you act out of yourself. The woman I love is not foolish enough to be bothered by those articles." He calmly said and kissed the exact part of her forehead that he flicked before.

"And the man I love should not be labelled as the love of many women," Yelena said with a playful smile. She knows that she was asking for a thing that was beyond his control! However, the always confident Prince was still the same.

"Your wish will soon be granted. The moment the world knows that I'm yours, everything will be solved. You must be patient for a little while." The Prince chuckled yet she knows that it was his way of teasing her. She finds it so frustrating!

Besides, he made her seemed like an over jealous lover! She even compared herself with some psychopath villainess in dramas who were obsessed with the ML's! But soon, she brushed away the ridiculous thoughts.

"Will we parked the car here forever? Let's go to the villa and have dinner. After that, I will return to the hotel." She said, trying her best to sound normal. He was always so good with words and it always made her feel lost. She was always at a loss for words!

"Hotel?" He raised a brow. He didn't hear anything about it before.

Yelena nodded her head. "I made a reservation. I cannot reach you so I just decide to make a reservation yesterday."

"You can spend the night in the villa." He argued.

"I will stay in the hotel just for tonight. I'm told to spend the night at the palace tomorrow." Yelena said.

"My father did?" Felix asked. It was news for him.

"Yes." She meant to tell him all these yesterday but she couldn't reach him. When they talked last night, she had already forgotten about it.

"He also asked me to stay there tonight but I refused. It won't be comfortable for me. Deciding to spend tomorrow night there is also hard." Yelena frankly said. 

"Are you wary about the possibility of rumours?" Felix asked. "If that's the case, you don't have to worry. All the workers in the palace signed a non-disclosure agreement. They are not allowed to spread anything that happened in the palace." He assured her, his smile was apologetic. If only he paid more attention to her in the last two days!

"Okay, but I will spend the night in the hotel as I planned. I think I need mental preparation for tomorrow." Yelena said with a light chuckle but her face tells that she was nervous.

"My mother?" He assumed. He was always good at reading her mind.

"How will she think of me? Is she scary?" She asked. Now, that she talked about it, pressure swept her body again.

Recalling how his mother asked to meet Yelena, Felix slightly smiled. "Don't worry. She will be good." He paused when he suddenly felt amused by her second question. "Scary? I think you will be the scarier one. If I am to tell you about my mother's greatest strength, it will be her elegant manner while dealing with others. She is the Queen, so it's understandable." He said, hoping to make her feel better.

Elegant? Queen? Yelena only felt the pressure more! She gave a quick thought before asking, "Others? Then how is she like when dealing with a family? Like you?"

"She's like everyone else's mom, but a bit harder to understand." Felix glanced at his watch and frowned. "Let's get going. You must be hungry." He fainted a smile and told Matthew to drive back to the villa.

Yelena didn't fail to notice the changed in his tone when talking about his family, especially his mother. She wondered if he had a complicated relationship with his family, just like she had in the past.....
