Chapter 41: Crown Princess Mia

It had been a very long day, and now that we were at the end of it I felt the tiredness I’d been staving off all day. We were still standing under the stars enjoying the light of the moon.

“You’re tired.” I felt his gaze on my face in the moonlight and smiled. As tired as I was, I didn’t want the night to end. “Let’s go back, you’ve had a long day, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“No, not yet. Stay with me a little while longer.” I was pleasantly surprised when I felt the coolness of his lips against my forehead. I lifted my head from where it had been resting on his shoulder and blushed.

He pushed my head back there and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. My whole body became tense as I knew the others were watching. “Do not worry, they’re not looking at us. They’re not allowed to.”

Well that’s one rule I didn’t learn. Maybe because this casual touching wasn’t something that was done. I can’t say that I hated it.
