Chapter 182 - Your Future Wife!

Noah pov contd

Noah pov contd.

"Your highness' 'I did not know what to say as my arms kept dangling in the air. His grip was so tight as if he was afraid that I would vanish if he would loosen it.

Even his knights were looking at the scene with bewilderment.

What felt like an eternity, he finally let go of me but he was still standing too close. I was afraid that he would see the crack in my behavior. So I bowed in fear, hiding my insecurities in fear.

"I... I apologise, your highness. I did not dare to touch you." I replied as my voice turned wet. My nails dug deep into my arms so that the pain could keep me in my senses.

"Do you really now know why I hugged and why am I so broken?" he asked me with a tear filled voice that broke me further. I was feeling so damn guilty.

I have left all of them with the guilt of my death while I was living a peaceful life away from the palace. Except Duke George, father of Abigail, no one knows my reality.

"Your highness, I apologise, but I did not have the caliber to understand your cryptic words at all. If I have made any mistake you could punish me the way you want.`` I said bowing my head.

"It is fine, you may leave now." said the knight again and i did not wait for his reply as i nodded and tried to leave as if my past demons were chasing me.

But when I turned to leave, the man who had commented on me before when I was looking at Jose, looked at me with bewilderment. His eyes were so sharp as he did not feel like an aide at all. But my mind was too jumbled to think about him. So, I ignored his presence and walked out of the door. Yet I could feel all of their eyes on my back.

I opened the two buttons of my shirt as I was suffocating for air. Taking a few deep breaths, I took a few deep breaths and continued walking.

"Did he know who i am?" I asked myself as I was at a safe distance from the place. But how could this be. I still remember dying my hair red after leaving the palace and I did not look like the soft and innocent boy from 10 years ago. Except for my eyes, everything has changed!

Taking a few deep breaths, I controlled my emotions, yet the events of the past continued to roam in front of my eyes.

I walked away towards the garden and sat on a bench. The cold air after the rain started freezing me and the pain brought me back to my senses. I looked at the flowers that have bore the storm yet they were blooming at their places instead of being weak.

"No, I could not be weak. I am not Carl anymore. I am Noah, the knight of the duke's house." I reminded myself.

"You are Noah?" came the chirpy voice from behind. A fair girl with bright golden eyes and light brown hair looked at me with expectant eyes. But I was sure I had never met her before. Her dress was clinging to her body, I was sure she had been here even when the rain was continuing.

"Yes, do I know you?" I asked in confusion. Her eyes suddenly turned gloomy but then she blinked and the spark returned.

"Of course, you don't know me. But we have met before. I am Scarlet, the princess of the northern empire.`` She informed me with a proud smile and I nodded. Though i didn't really understand if i did not know her, why was she even introducing herself to me.

"Aahh, you are not impressed by my background?" she asked with a confused face.

"Should I be impressed?" I asked , tilting my head. I did not understand her language at all.

She clapped and almost jumped at her place. 

"No! I am delighted that it does not matter to you at all. As I have thought, you are indeed a special person. My choice could never be wrong!" her happiness was overflowing in the whole room, though i still did not understand what was the matter of her joy. And how was it related to it?

"I apologise, but I did not understand you at all!" I replied again, informing her that I could not understand her words and her language at all.

"Aah. i apologise, my accent is a bit different and I am too happy to explain. I just want to tell you that I am here only to meet you. Now that I have met you, we both would have a lot of chances to know and understand each other. First let's start with being friends until I win your heart and convince my father to be with you." she continued to nod and murmur and plan as she rubbed her hands in anticipation.

"I think you have some kind of misunderstanding here. I do not know you.'' I was reminded as my frustration increased. William have already played with my sense and now this queer girl have come to play with my mind.

She finally stopped blabbering and looked at me seriously.

"Oh, I told you, I am the princess of the northern kingdom. I am in music class and sword wielding both. As we should be proficient in both. But if this introduction is not enough, you can ask me anything you want." she offered me as she looked at me intently.

"But why do I need to ask you? I do not think i want to know anything about you at all.'' I replied, rubbing my forehead as the headache formed.

"Oh, how can this be? I know that I look perfect, but should you not be a bit curious about your future wife?" she asked with a frown and to say that i was shocked would be an understatement.
