When I feel the worst

Wangjie took back a step and asked Ning Hua to leave. When she didn't budge from her place, he said, "I may not be able to stop myself if you stay for another second here, in front of me," he said sternly. 

"His Highness knows the meaning of not getting physical before the marriage. I am following that protocol of the royal family. I hope he doesn't misunderstand my intentions," Ning Hua humbly explained. 

"Royal protocal," Wangjie chuckled and he held her chin again. "You entered her by your own decision but you'll be leaving this chamber until I say so," he said. "I'm going to keep you my wife, so don't worry about your dignity," he said and used his other hand to touch the central knots on her dress. 

Ning Hua held his hand and moved away her face. "I apologize, Your Highness. I believe in the royal protocals," she pronounced. "It is not about only my dignity, but also about my values," she asserted.
