Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 - Go On A Date

"What?!" Islinda blinked up at him in surprise, her mouth hung open. She wanted to speak but her words failed her as she was still filled with surprise.

Had it been a human spouting such nonsense, Islinda would have thought that he was pulling her leg or running crazy, but this was Valerie, a Fae and he looked so serious with the concern on his face and that was when it hit her that he really was ignorant.

"Oh." Everything finally made sense to Islinda.

In the same way, she had thought that all Faeries were wicked and cruel until she met Valerie and he proved her wrong, it seems the Fae had limited knowledge and conceited views about the humans too. Of course, why wouldn't it be so when the humans stayed in the human realm and the Fae in theirs as well?

But then there were rumors of humans stolen by the Faeries or the foolish mortals who struck a deal with them and are unable to pay the cost in the end. It was more possible for a Fae to trick a human into crossing the wall than kidnapping them, unlike the humans who do the opposite and use blunt force.

Doing so would be going against the rules of the treaty and most Faeries captured by the humans are usually those who stepped into the human realms. Both sides would have to break the law first before either of them could use it against one another. She could capture Valerie right now and would not be faulted by the law.

At once, her features softened with a ghost of a smile at the thought that he was worried about her. So she explained to him as gently as she could, "I am not going to die, Valerie."

His brows twitched in response before they narrowed in suspicion as he studied her. Valerie believed that she was lying to him, so she reached out and clasped his face with her palm to his surprise, hoping to convince him.

She said to him, "Yes, humans are fragile and die when they are sick, but we don't succumb to all illnesses. In the same way, you didn't die from the wound you suffered and fought bravely, I did the same as well and wouldn't have to die anymore. At least not now."

She saw the moment the tension left his body and it might have to do with the fact she caressed his face. And like a contented cat, Valerie let out a small sigh and leaned back against the wall, with his eyes shut instinctively. Islinda would have stopped if it wasn't the fact that he leaned into her touch and she was thankful that his eyes were closed because she was blushing hard.

She wondered if Valerie knew that her action was considered intimate and such an act should be enjoyed between couples in a relationship. She was close to hiding her face in embarrassment already and her stupid heart wouldn't stop pounding in her heart.

Were Fae creatures touchy-feely with each other? Do they have no sense of propriety? Do they have loose standards when it comes to intimacy? We're they immoral? Or does he simply enjoy her treatment? Islinda had a lot of questions in her head. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

However, it was at that moment that she discovered that this was the same spot that she had left him days again. Had he been sitting like this all this while? She was sure that he has had nothing to eat ever since then. Not to mention, has he... err felt the urge to have a leak? Or was his own thing, a-hem! built differently?

By the gods! Islinda was so red in the face at her ridiculous thought that she wanted to fan her heated cheek with her palm, but that was the moment Valerie opened his eyes, and something lodged in her throat. Ba-dum, Ba-dum, her heart pounded in her chest and her jaw slacked.

They stared at each other for about a second before Islinda parted from him, clearing her throat awkwardly. She must be losing her mind if she thought of Valerie as handsome again. Fae and humans weren't meant to be together, it just doesn't happen.

Moreover, Valerie didn't seem like an ordinary Fae, perhaps a Lord over his estate or something. She could sense the power exuding from him and it was a bit overwhelming when it called to her, teasing her all over. That alone was not a good sign.

Islinda needed to do something to keep herself distracted which was why she reached inside her shirt and began to pull out the leavy wraps where she had hidden the medicines. She said to him,

"I'm so sorry that I didn't bring you something to eat. I was so invested in keeping you alive that I forgot that you needed food to live too." She added, "But don't worry, there's still a lot of time and I would hurry to the market to get you food."

"Don't bother about that."

"Huh?" She lifted her head, tilting it to the side unsure, "You don't need food? Figures, you're not human anyway."

"Of course, I need food. But unlike humans, I can go far, far longer without it. Moreover, I doubt your human food would be substantial enough for me." He said so hauntingly, feigning the superior race that it brought a smile to her lips

"Don't be so sure, Valerie," Islinda smiled at him, "If you don't leave for your realm immediately, perhaps you can take time to visit our marketplaces and test that opinion of yours."

"You mean like a date?"

"What is a date?" Islinda asked, having no idea what he meant. It was said that the Faeries were far more advanced than the humans and that seems to be the case in vocabulary as well.
