The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

Ren spent the whole day resting again while Fae took care of the medicines that his doctor asked her to get. Initially, Fae wanted to ask Linda to fill the prescription, but later she decided to go get the medicines to make herself busy and distract her mind.

With the help of John, Ren's personal driver, Fae left for the city center and visited the pharmacy to buy the medicine Doctor Lehmann prescribed.

On the way, Fae was mesmerized by the beauty of Almstad City. She had only visited the capital once with her school friends when she celebrated graduation.

They toured several important places such as the beautiful rose garden near the king's palace, the 200-year-old Almstad library, the parliament building, the king's palace, and the prime minister's office. They ended the visit with a late lunch in a cafe in the Old Town and went home. That was all.

"John, can we take a quick walk downtown? I'd like to sightsee a little," Fae asked the driver. The middle-aged man nodded respectfully.

"Of course, Madame."

Ren had asked not to be disturbed until lunchtime, so Fae felt there was nothing wrong with spending a little time outdoors exploring Almstad and sightsee. The city of Almstad was built in the 14th century and still had many beautiful old buildings remained. 

In the city center, there was a historical part called Old Town which consisted of many centuries old buildings with the typical cobbled streets. This area was very popular with tourists visiting Moravia. They could relax enjoying lunch or dinner at a typical Moravian restaurant that served various specialties from the country.

In this Old Town area, cars were not allowed to pass at all because the streets were small, so that at any time there were hundreds to thousands of people walking through the alleys and cobbled roads.

If Fae had not married Ren, she had intended to apply for a job as a waiter at a restaurant or cafe in the Old Town area. She had heard that waiters working in a tourist area like this could get big tips from the guests. However, now she certainly didn't need to work anymore because Ren was taking care of all her living expenses.

The Rolls Royce carrying Fae moved slowly following the slow traffic ahead, as the girl watched and admired her surroundings. As they passed by the walls of the heavily fortified Moravian palace, Fae felt a pounding in her chest. 

She watched the magnificent palace complex in awe. Even though nowadays king was only a symbolical position, he still had a very important meaning for the people of that small kingdom.

Fae wondered why Ren did not want to be king. Wasn't the position as ruler of a wealthy kingdom like Moravia still something to be proud of?

"Did Ren come to the palace often?" Fae asked John. The driver nodded.

"Yes, Madame. Every Monday, he will go to the palace and carry out some state duties. Apart from that, he also has an office in the palace complex and goes there several times a week. But his main office is near the Old Town area. Master spends most of his time there," John explained.

Fae nodded in understanding. She tried to remember Ren's schedule and wrote down all the information she heard from John just now. She wanted to be a good wife and make sure she always helped her husband's work.

After she was satisfied with going around the city center and get the medicines she needed for Ren, Fae then asked John to go back to the mansion. On the way home, she noticed several magnificent campuses. The students gathered at the gate were full of enthusiasm. They all looked like they were having the time of their lives.

Ah .. this reminded Fae to start thinking about her own school. She had several months to prepare. When the time came, she wanted to be able to determine the best school for her to study.

Fae realized that most of her school friends would be 2-3 years younger than her because they went straight to college after they finished high school. Meanwhile, Fae was late to graduate high school because she was hospitalized for a long time after the cruise accident and had to repeat her high school. She also spent a year after graduation working at a resort and then getting married.

She only hoped that her schoolmates will not be too concerned about her age and treated her differently.

Fae arrived home one hour before lunchtime. Since Ren asked not to be disturbed, she decided to explore her husband's enormous mansion and observe the garden that stretched from the front terrace all the way to the gate, which was a great distance away.

Fae kept herself busy researching what types of plants were there in the garden. She was very happy to find that all the plants in the garden were very well cared for and healthy.

She met a gardener who was pruning the roses and they chatted. At first, the gardener thought Fae was a new staff to the mansion because he had never seen Fae before.

When John came back to pick Fae up by car to return home, Hans, the gardener, finally realized his mistake. With a red face, he repeatedly apologized for being too casual to the mistress of the house.

Fae just laughed at his attitude. "Ouch .. please don't act like this. I know you don't recognize me. I rarely came out before today. Nice to meet you, Hans. Thank you for caring for this garden. You are doing a great job."

She then got back into the car and went home. The distance from the front gate to the front door was almost 2 km, that was how vast the garden was. It was big and beautiful. Fae really liked her new home and she felt very lucky to be there.

Fae went into the house and looked for Ren to invite him to lunch together. She heard from Linda that Ren was in the library. As she was about to enter the house, Fae had seen that the floor-to-ceiling windows in the library were slightly ajar because she saw the curtains moving from the inside.

Ahh ... suddenly Fae wanted to surprise Ren by entering through the window. Stealthily, she approached the window and prepared to enter. However, her steps suddenly came to a halt when she heard Ren's voice. Her husband seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. Unknowingly, Fae stopped and listened.

"Amelia, I don't want you to come to my house and meet Fae. You just can't keep your cool. I'm sure last night you told her all sorts of things."

Fae's ears perked up trying to listen better since Ren was talking to Amelia. She wanted to know what her husband was talking about with his secretary.

"Of course I don't love her. What are you talking about?" Ren sounded annoyed. "Don't speak nonsense."

For a moment Fae was reminded of Ren's attitude when he scolded Mr. Krause at the resort. He sounded ruthless. Was this how Ren was when he's upset? Fee never saw him like this.

And oh ... what did he say? Who was it that Ren doesn't love? Were he and Amelia talking about Fae?

Did this mean, Ren didn't love Fae?

Suddenly her chest felt like it was crushed by a heavy object.
