Chapter 89: Guest
Fortunately, Rose understood that some things were hard to say.
She didn't force him to speak. Perhaps she thought it was inappropriate to speak here with Arthur by his side.
"Let's go," she said, opening the car door.
Aldric quickly got into the car.
He had no other desire than to return to his dormitory.
Vrom!
Rose quickly drove the car away, leaving Arthur alone.
In the car, Aldric checked his cell phone.
Opening the messaging app, he saw a message from the princess.
The message contained one letter, 'p'.
Aldric rolled his eyes at the letter, then saved the number.
Rose occasionally glanced at his phone, but he tilted it slightly so she couldn't see anything.
From her eyes, she was clearly still curious, but somewhat unsure how to ask.
DING!
Suddenly a message arrived on Aldric's phone just as he closed the message, from the princess.
(I'm ready!)
That was the content of the message, but it wasn't just a message, it also contained a picture of her taking a selfie where she was lying on her bed making her long, wavy hair a bit messy and she was holding the highest quality virtual headset.
She pointed the virtual headset at the camera.
Aldric froze at the image.
After only a moment, she did something even more unexpected.
Was there something wrong with her brain?
It was one thing if she was too friendly to him, yet sending a photo like that, wasn't she worried about it spreading?
All of her photos had elegant poses at formal occasions, one would probably question if she had certain problems if it was discovered she made such photos.
Plus, it's not a photo that can only be seen once.
Aldric could continue to view it including downloading it.
No, it had already appeared in his phone gallery since it was sent and he opened it.
(Your Highness, you shouldn't send a photo like this. I probably won't do anything about it, but if something happens to my phone like it being broken into, your photo might get spread around.)
Aldric replied to her message.
He tried to remind her that it was risky.
At the same time, he felt even more uncomfortable.
'This princess seems to be chatting online for the first time with a man other than her family, but sending photos just like that, isn't she too excited?'
Aldric began to feel a headache.
He was worried, worried if this princess, who was in reality just a normal woman with the same curiosity as all normal women, suddenly had special feelings for him.
This could probably come out easily to her given that she had no experience in a relationship with a man and the first man who appeared in her life had a proven attraction that tugged at the heartstrings of many women.
Even if she is very intelligent, intelligence tends to be dysfunctional if a special feeling for the opposite sex arises.
That's because those feelings will give her a sensation that is more beautiful than anything else.
'I think I made a mistake, and I shouldn't underestimate my own charm,' he thought.
It was too much, but as a man, he also continued to feel an overwhelming sensation because the princess seemed so comfortable with him.
It was a sensation that made him forget Jenny instantly.
'No, no. This can't happen or my life will be completely messed up.'
He was self-conscious.
He had a chance to control the worst of the situation if he was only with Jenny. However, with the princess, he would just be screwed in any scenario.
If Rose wasn't by his side, Aldric would have sighed many times already.
DING!
(I don't think that's going to happen. I have so many phones, hackers don't have time to break into all the important people's phones, why would they break into yours? :v) The princess replied to his message.
It actually had a laughing emoji.
"Aldric, who are you chatting with? Why does your expression keep changing?" Rose who occasionally glanced at his face asked.
Every time she glanced at his face, she found a different expression.
"Don't tell me you're chatting with Princess Charlotte?" She suddenly guessed before Aldric even thought of an answer to her question.
"Looks like I was right..." Rose was instantly convinced of her guess because Aldric froze as soon as he heard her guess.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult to hide the expression in this surprise situation.
"Hahaha..." Rose laughed, patting Aldric on the shoulder.
"It seems that you're more dangerous than I thought, but I must say that this is difficult. If she was just a noble, even a member of the royal family, this would be easier. However, she is almost certain to be the heir to the throne because her father has passed away early, which is very, very difficult."
Aldric, "..."
"Sister Rose, what nonsense are you saying?" asked Aldric.
He tried to pretend that he didn't understand.
Unfortunately, how could it be that easy.
Rose chuckled and said, "no need to pretend, things like this are too predictable. Maybe there was already a story between you and that princess before this. That she and you exchanged cell phone numbers and then chatted online, it must be because she felt a special excitement when interacting with you."
Aldric fell silent, finding it increasingly difficult to argue.
"Sister Rose, I recognized her in the Magician Online game. Unexpectedly, she is Princess Charlotte." In the end, he explained how this started.
"Ohh, you played that game too? Didn't you once say you don't like playing games?" Rose was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, I played it by accident," Aldric replied.
"I see... But if you can attract Princess Charlotte's attention in that game, that means you're playing it well. However, I don't think she would exchange cell phone numbers with you and even ask you to stay longer in the palace if only because you were good enough at the game," Rose said.
She kept trying to say that there was something between them.
"Sister Rose, do you also play Magician Online?" Aldric asked, trying to change the subject.
At this point, he would rather not say anything about it.
