"Young master…" Susan closed her eyes dreamily and intertwined her fingers with mine .
I smiled softly and patted her head . I could feel her soft body trembling gently and could see a small blush on her cheeks . The current expression on Susan's face was truly cute .
Well, there is no problem pampering her a bit .
Hugging her waist, I carried her body until a sofa . I then sat down and put her on my lap while smiling gently .
Susan's lips curved up and her body shrunk on my embrace . The two of us remained like that for a while, with Susan's head on my chest .
But after a while, Susan looked up to my eyes . "Y-Young master, you will not abandon me, right?"
"… Silly girl, do I look like someone who would do something like that?" I put on a wry expression .
"B-But, m-mom told me that n-nobles like to take advantage of g-girls before abandoning them…"
Seeing Susan's nervous expression, I could not avoid staring right into her eyes and burst in evil laughter . "HA HA HA HA…!"
Susan's expression turned pitiful . Tears began to form in the corner of her eyes, and her beautiful face began to turn pale .
When I saw it, I laughed even more . To be honest, it had been long since the last time I enjoyed teasing someone so much .
But when she was about to cry, I quickly stopped .
"Stop, stop! It was a joke, a joke! Of course, I'll not abandon you! How can I abandon such a cute girl?" I kissed Susan's nose and spoke sweetly beside her ear . Susan looked at me with a wronged expression before blushing again and hiding her face on my chest .
"… You bullied me…"
I could not help but laugh once more . Seriously, my sugar level shot through the roof .
After laughing for a while and teasing Susan a bit more, I finally turned serious .
"Susan, there is something I must tell you . "
"Y-Young master?" Susan noticed the change in my attitude and put on a nervous face . I stared at her seriously before speaking . "Actually, I'm a prince . "
"!!!" Susan's expression turned pale .
She looked at me and opened and closed her mouth repeatedly . One second later, she stood from my lap and kneeled on the ground . "Y-Your highness!"
I put on a wry smile and helped her up gently . "Get up, you don't need to do it . "
"B-But, you are…"
"I told you, you don't need to do it!" I repeated, this time with more strength on my voice . Susan turned pale again and stood up quickly .
I smiled wryly on my mind . Actually, this situation showed the difference between nobles and commoners .
Due to my status, most nobles don't mind offending me if it can benefit their interests . With the support of the empress and the emperor turning his gaze away, they don't take me as someone important .
But commoners are different . They have been taught from an early age that the imperial family is above them . With the exception of a few that had the support of nobles or experience working with the imperial family, most commoners would turn pale in the face of a prince .
Due to that, although Susan knew I was a good person, she could not help but show a bit of fear after learning of my identity .
And it's one of the reasons because I don't like showing my strength excessively .
When you are too powerful, even your closest ones can not help but look at you with gazes of fear . The better ones would treat you as a god .
I lived it in many of my past lives . After knowing the extent of my power, my mother, father, siblings, and even my wives, and sons would show fear when they look at me .
Of course, not everybody would be like that, but most of them were .
And believe me, although that feeling is great at the beginning, you begin to tire of it before long .
I sighed again and looked at Susan . At least, Susan's situation was still salvageable . I was sure that with a bit of time and pampering of my part, her attitude towards me would return to normal .
"I'm sorry if I frightened you . " I smiled gently and stroked her face .
Susan bit her lips and lowered her head . "N-Not, your highness . I-It's my fault . "
I smiled bitterly and shook my head . "Sigh… Anyway, you are my woman now . Actually, I can't simply marry you, but I can find a way so we can be together . "
Susan lifted her head and looked at me in surprise . She could not believe that I was accepting her as my woman .
When she learned I was a prince, she could not help but feel fear . After all, she had heard the rumors about the second prince, that he had slept with some girls and then killed them . She was afraid that I would kill her if I was dissatisfied .
But now, not only I was not dissatisfied, but I even told her that I would find a way so she can be beside me .
Instantly, her eyes turned moist .
"Your highness…"
"I told you, call me Claus . Let's do it, I'll speak with my aunt and recommend you as her assistant . You will have to learn some things, but it's a great opportunity for you . Besides, if you are aunt Dayana's assistant, nobody will say anything if I take you as my concubine later . "
Susan looked at me with a surprised and touched expression . In the next second, she rushed towards me and hugged me tightly . I returned the hug with a wry smile and kissed her forehead .
Feeling her body trembling gently, I put more strength on my hug and wrapped her fragile body on my arms . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
