Said No to the Prince and Yes to the King novel Chapter 31

Rejected by the Crown Prince Marned His Uncle

Chapter 31 A Really Handsome Guy

Spahed

As piece after piece of his outer clothing came off, Theodore didn’t feel the cold at all. With his brows furrowed, he squeezed his eyes shut and gritted his teeth without a word.

Margaret’s cheeks had turned a little red, 100.

It wasn’t that she had never done acupuncture on a man before, but she had never seen a man with such a perfect body.

That healthy skin tone, those flawless lines… Now I finally get why some women’s noses bleed when they see a really handsome guy.

It had to be the tense atmosphere inside the carriage.

It had to be how narrow the carriage was.

Otherwise, why would it be so hot in here on such a cold day?

“You carry silver needles with you,” Theodore said, probably trying to break the awkward silence. “You must have studied medicine for years, right?”

Margaret was stunned. Of course, she couldn’t tell him about the storage space. But if she said she never studied medicine, that didn’t really add up either.

But what if I say I did, and he goes and checks?

If he actually looks into it and finds out the original girl never studied medicine, won’t I be exposed?

Theodore continued, “I heard that to help Crown Prince Christopher walk again, you searched far and wide for miracle doctors and magical cures…”

Margaret finally snapped back to her senses. “Yes, well–my medical skills aren’t great. I only know the basics. I just read a lot of medical books back then, and that’s how I…

How do I cover this up?

Her heart was pounding a little. Her hand came down harder with the next needle.

Theodore winced. “Be gentler.”

“Oh–right. Sorry.” Margaret softened her touch immediately.

“We probably shouldn’t talk during acupuncture,” she added. “It can make you feel uncomfortable…”

“I’m fine,” Theodore said, “Tve already recovered.”

In just a few short moments, she has suppressed the poison in my body. This woman is anything but ordinary.

Theodore couldn’t help it–he opened his eyes and stared straight at Margaret. “Did you learn acupuncture for Crown Prince Christopher, too?”

Margaret fell silent.

Why does he sound so weird?

Finished

But at this point, she couldn’t think of another excuse. She could only force an awkward smile. “Since you’ve recovered, Prince Theodore, maybe you should put your clothes back on first.”

With that, she put the silver needles back into her storage space–or at least, that was what it looked like. She slipped her hand inside her chest as if tucking the needles into her clothes.

Her winter robes were thick. Theodore didn’t notice a thing. He just quietly started dressing again.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted. Margaret lost her balance and stumbled straight into Theodore’s chest.

He hadn’t finished putting on his shirt. Her face landed right against his bare chest. Her nose throbbed- and two warm streams of blood trickled down.

She scrambled back to her seat, “Oww–that hurts…”

My nose really hurts.

Margaret touched it with her fingers. Sure enough, there was blood.

She tilted her head back quickly. “Your Highness, Your chest muscles are really… firm.”

Theodore hurriedly pulled his clothes on, his face dark. “Zeke. Turn around. Go to the estate. Summon a royal doctor.”

Margaret waved her hands. “No, no–it’ll stop in a second…”

She was a healer herself. Why would she need a doctor?

Margaret gave herself a quick, quiet needle, and the nosebleed stopped.

She finally dared to lower her head.

Then their eyes mei–and another drop of blood fell.

This body.

Seriously? So embarrassing.

Theodore stared at her blood–streaked face, his expression grim. “You’re badly hurt. I’m calling a roval doctor.”

“No need. Looks like we’ve arrived at the Prime Minister’s Estate. Since you’re fine now. I’ll head inside.”

With that, Margaret fled the carriage,

No way. That body. That face. That close

If I keep looking, how am I supposed to stop the nosebleed?
