Tread on Thin Ice (1)

At Cordon Castle, the Kingdom of Cordon.

Freya couldn't help but toss around left and right on her bed as she tried to sleep. As much as she tried to ignore it, she was simply too bothered by the foreign feelings she was having for Gideon that it was making her mind run a mile a minute. The man had suddenly disappeared when Leon called for him this late noon, and that was after he got too touchy with her as well.

Seeing that, Freya had thought she had already escaped the man, but Lord Gideon suddenly showed up for dinner as well. She saw him having a good conversation with her mother, moving without hesitation to show his affection by putting up dishes for her to eat. He even went so far as to pour out water for her. And those smiles…

Since when did he manage to taunt her with his adorable smiles? It didn't come unnoticed to her how she seemed to miss those smiles in the two days that they hadn't seen each other.
