“I believe that no matter how busy your life is, no matter how hectic your schedule is, and no matter how focused you are on your work, there’s that one person who will come to your life and shake your world, disrupt your system, and seize your concentration."

Auguste gazed at the woman beside him. No, it's not because of the carefree way she drank that beer that made her look so innocent and pure. It's because of the way she just described what true love is. 

It's because that's also how love is to him.

It has been years since he felt that for someone. He used to love someone who ruled his life and made him not want to do anything but be with her. But that woman is now out of his life and is about to marry a real-life prince.

Since then, Auguste believed that he will never fall in love again. Never did he think that the woman in front of him now will be that someone who will shake up his world, mess up with his life and distract him forever.

Moonville Romances: Cinderella and the Almost Prince

Dinner was served for Auguste and Margaret. Surprisingly, Auguste ate with her, making Margaret a little bit surprised. 


“Did you not eat well earlier at that party?” she asked him. 


“Nope,” he answered casually. “Was too consumed to eat.” 


Margaret stopped eating and gazed at him. She once again felt pity for him, knowing that he was very overwhelmed by Astrid and the prince that he wasn’t able to eat. She could only imagine the pain he felt while watching the two act romantically with each other. 


As if to appease him, Margaret put some more food on his plate. Auguste stopped eating. 


“You know, I might be hungry, but I can’t finish all of that,” Auguste told her. 


Margaret realized what she did. “Sorry, I just…” She sighed. “I just felt bad for you.” 


“And so you want me to have indigestion by giving me so much food?” 


Margaret gaped at him. She felt embarrassed as she once again realized what she did. “Sorry.” She started putting back the food on the serving plates.
