Chapter 170 - Change Your Dress!

"How am i supposed to pass you the dress then?" came his cold voice from the other side and she could imagine the look of disdain on his face.

"......"  alright she did not think of that when she realised that he was there in reality. She turned and pulled the knob and the door unblocked.

Opening a bit of it, she took out her hands "give it to me." his eyes flickered when he looked at her fair hands coming out of the door and a strange desire started to burn his chest but he curbed it and took the dress and gave it to her.

She pulled her hands back with relief when she looked at the dress in her hands. Quickly shuffling into the dress, she came out with her hair still falling unruly on her body.

But she was a bit stunned when she found Leo still standing on the door of her bathroom like a door guard. She took a step backwards and rubbed her chest again as she bowed her head and asked,

"Umm, why are you here my lord. How may I help you?" his expressions had turned calm till she came back and with a smile he looked at her.

"I am here to take you with me!" his eyes narrowed when he saw her confused face.

"Did you forget what you had accepted in the main hall a few hours ago?" he asked as he passed another frosty glare at her.

"......" why did she feel that he would not leave her until she froze up to death. She had not heard anything happened in the main hall after he accepted that they had spent the night together and that he did not want to discuss his personal life with her in front of everyone.

"You have even signed the papers that you will spend the next week while working at my side!" His frosty glare and cold voice brought her back to her senses and she blinked.

Did she agree to assist him in working and spend the rest of the day with him too? Would it be good for her weak heart that was already thumping too hard in her chest?

"I do not think that it is a good idea!" she shook her head but before she could give him a valid reason, he added,

"Or you can spend the next week in the underground prison while giving company to the mice and snakes!" she shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and turned to leave when he heard her.

"It would not be a good idea for me to only be your aide! I should also be in in charge of your meals. I think that you are skipping meals, my lord, which is not good for your health at all." she replied in a flattering tone as she ran and followed him out of the room,

A smirk formed on his lips and his eyes twinkled when he saw that flattering smile on her face. She was obviously cursing him in her heart while passing that fake smile yet he enjoyed how she puffed her cheeks and glared at him from time to time.

"Very well then get ready. I will wait for you in my chamber." he replied with a satisfactory smile on his face, only then did she take a breath of relief and nodded her head.

"I will be there soon, my lord." but when she bowed, his eyes widened and then his face turned red. The dress was beautiful but its neck was cut in a "V" shape which was a bit deeper and he could see more cleavage than before when she was in the towel. Though he did not mind seeing the view by himself, he could not accept that she would wear it and walk out of the room, much less going to the administration office and the knights training ground.

Just the thought of others seeing that view with their dirty eyes made him burnt. He would rather gauge the eyes of all of them if she wore the dress out of this room and a man laid his eyes on her.

"Wait! Are you going to wear this dress while going out with me?" She did not know why but she felt like his anger had risen again. His dark eyes turned into a deep abyss when she rose and looked into his eyes.

"Yes! Is there something wrong, my lord?" she asked unsure why he was so angry suddenly when the blizzard only increased.

"I deny! Change your clothes to something better!" 

"....." the dress was the one that the four ladies had chosen personally and even she felt that the dress was beautiful. 

The small flowers and the gold craftsman ship around the neck were perfect. Yet he did not like the dress or was it not up to his standards!? Though she did not agree with him, she did not want to make it into an argument as she was not that finicky when it comes to clothes.

So she nodded her head readily, 

"Alright, I will change into a better dress, my lord!" she had thought that he would be satisfied with her reply and leave her for good but he kept standing there as if he was waiting for her to do or say anything else too.

When she looked at him with confused gaze as why he was still not leaving, he finally parted his pale and thin lips, 

"Show me!" she blinked when his cold words reverberated but she did not understand what he wanted her to show? Could it be that he wanted to see the clothes and jewels! Nah! He was a busy man who did not care about these foolish things.

"Pardon!" she blinked and looked at him with curious eyes when his eyes narrowed at her face and he replied with a frown,

"Show me the dress you are going to change into.. I will decide on the dress by myself."
