Futile Love

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

He already declared war on Bipaan. As for her, he wanted to be a little more cautious, but he had no reason not to push ahead with his plan to make her his woman.

“If I can prove it at the end of the day, you…” He changed her title at that moment and said, “Your Highness should recognize it then.”

He could not call her by that informal title ‘you’ yet. She should be the Crown Princess to him. Despite that, he made that announcement to her courageously.

When she argued that she was the official wife of the Crown Prince before, he would step back with a pathetic look, but this time he aggressively tried to win over her heart. She was too embarrassed by his emboldened attitude.

“What do you want me to recognize?”

“Just accept the man you are yearning for.”

That was an act of sheer obstinacy on his part. When he found her avoiding him often, he became more stubborn in following her. He wanted to develop a romantic relationship with her.

He extended his hand. Shrinking her shoulders, she closed her eyes and breathed as she got so nervous, but he just ran his hand through her tousled hair.

“Let me leave now.”

Unexpectedly, he gave in. She felt as if he were trying to do something to her, but he stepped back. She couldn’t predict his behavior.

“Please, please get better,” he said with goodbye.

His words touched her mind again. She felt as if she could get over her fever right away, but she couldn’t reveal her feelings before him.

“Have a good rest and have a good night…”

Having said that politely, he left her room.

When he was gone, she took a deep breath, How can he be so confident? Oh my …

“He is really breaking my heart,” Kyosul grabbed her chest. Her upper jacket was crumpled.

“It’s too harsh for me.” She could feel her heart beating strongly when she clenched her fists.

“You know the customs of the imperial palace and the Crown Prince much better than I. How come you committed such a reckless act?”

She thought he was wrong and that his confessed plan was doomed.

Even before he was trying to prove something, her heart was already beating fast when thinking about him, as fast as his or even faster.

“This is how I feel toward you, but you still want me to confess my …”

She bit her lips while she was shivering with fear. It was the beginning of their doomed love play. It was a matter of how long she could stick it out and when she could give up on him.

“I’m the official wife of the Crown Prince.”

It was the first thing she said when she woke up in the morning.

“The only person that I have to look at, turn to and allow myself to lose my heart to is the Crown Prince.”

She repeated it and kept it in her mind every day. The more she repeated it, the more clearly she came to realize that she couldn’t stop her heart from going to Ruhae.

She kept blinking her eyes while she was lying on the bed. She was up and running but felt strange. Strange enough, her fever was gone.

“It’s funny.”

Though she said that, her voice sounded lonely.

Why am I back to normal today?

Given that Ruhae came to see her yesterday, she felt as if he cured her.

She didn’t take any special medicine or therapy. She accepted only one visitor yesterday.

Despite her disapproval, he crossed several doors of her residence to come into her room abruptly. He stepped back meekly when she said something. Nonetheless, he showed genuine affection for her to the last minute. His act was tough but yielding then his expression of genuine feelings about her touched her heart deeply.

“I love you…” She murmured his word unconsciously, which surprised her and cover her mouth with both hands. Though she was alone in the room, she looked around and flushed.

“Wake up! You shouldn’t think of another man!”

She slapped her face, covering her ears with her hands, but the more she did, the more clearly she recalled what he said to her last night.

She wrapped her hands around her face. Shaking her head, she cast a glance to where he sat last night. Her eyes softened when she recalled his words, Let me prove it to you.

His resolute voice echoed in her ears. His withdrawal from her room last night made her miss him. She crossed her arms and wrapped them around her self. When his arms were wrapped around her, she wanted to be carried away with her affectionate feelings toward him. She felt she couldn’t help it.

What can I do if I can’t control my feelings?

“Oops!”

She almost found herself sliding into illusion. Surprised by her wild imagination, she got up from the bed suddenly. Getting out of the bed, she paced up and down before walking to the window.

There was a big window near her bed. She sometimes walked there and enjoyed the sunlight. She brought a desk near it and spent a long time there. It was part of her simple daily life.

She opened the window. The hinge didn’t make any noise when she opened it.

After she opened it, she suddenly became stiff.

Her big eyes were opened wide with surprise. She blushed. She slightly opened her mouth when she noticed something on the windowsill.

“This one….”

There was a small flower on the windowsill. It was an unknown full-petaled flower. The moment she saw the windowsill, her heart sank suddenly. She felt the tears were about to well up in her eyes. The full-petaled flower was not growing there by chance. She never saw it in the back garden of the Dongbi Palace. A little piece of paper was wrapped around the stem of the flower.

Obviously, somebody put it there.

She reached out her trembling hand and picked up the flower. She unknotted the crumpled slip of paper and opened it.

There was no writing there.

The moment she looked at the white little slip, lots of things came to her mind. If there was anyone who could have put it there, only one person flashed her mind. The little slip that didn’t contain a seemed to speak volumes.

“Was it you again who did this?”

While murmuring to herself in a trembling voice, she was suddenly moved to tears.

Though she tried not to recall him, his face kept coming to her mind. He seemed to appear everywhere in her mind. Was this the way he wanted to prove his love of her?

She was convinced that the person who sent the empty slip and the flower was Ruhae.

“He is really breaking my heart,” Kyosul grabbed her chest. Her upper jacket was crumpled.

“It’s too harsh for me.” She could feel her heart beating strongly when she clenched her fists.

“You know the customs of the imperial palace and the Crown Prince much better than I. How come you committed such a reckless act?”

She thought he was wrong and that his confessed plan was doomed.
