Chapter 63: "Him?"

Unable to control himself any longer, Rodion suddenly rolled over, pinning the prince to the bed, his hands straddling his head.

Prince Nikolai couldn't help but chuckle to see how Rodion was struggling. "What are you worrying about?"

Rodion blinked, realizing the prince was right. What had he been worrying about?

"If you're worried that you might hurt me, don't worry. I can handle it." The prince added as he looked at him straight in his eyes.

Without a word, Rodion leaned in, moving toward the prince until their lips were just an inch apart. But then, as if struck by reality, he suddenly rolled to the side. He kept rolling off the bed until he tumbled to the floor.

"…Ugh." He groaned when he fell down with his face kissing the floor.

"Hey…! Are you alright?" cried the prince in haste as he scooted over the edge of his bed and glanced down at Rodion's lying figure on the floor.
