The Announcement

Prince Luka had finally finished the workload he had to do for the day. Looking over, he realized that he had not really seen Hena after their encounter together. He was reminded of how her luscious lips touched his.

He must have scared her.

Luka knew he got carried away and was unable to stop himself. He promised to himself not to touch her until they were married. According to palace rules, both of them needed to be engaged first before getting married.

"You did well, Prince Luka," Butler Roy greeted him with a smile as he entered the room. "There were a lot of papers you had to review for today but you still managed to finish them all."

"Of course, it's my job," he replied, loosening the necktie he was wearing with a sigh. "I'm tired."

"It appeared that Lady Hena had gotten you some refreshments for you to have, at times like this," Roy said. "Consuming sugar is a stress reliever."
