Chapter 393: 393
Reaching the Chen house, Madison commanded the horse to slowed down its pace, then halted in front of the main door .
Marivella jumps off the horse, and with long steps, she enters the house while calling out her parents . It was strangely quiet .
She knew that they would meet her sooner in the entrance once they would have heard announcing her arrival, or hearing horse's footsteps approaching their home .
Now, she wondered whether they went somewhere, together with her brothers as no one answering . But why they left the door unlocked? Marivella thought it was strange .
"Mama? Papa?" She called out over again but still, there is no sign of movements in the entire house .
Madison joins her side and whispered, "there are several footprints of the horses, let us be careful," she warns Marivella .
She nodded, began scrutinized her surroundings, and lifted her guard up . Madison's sharpness impressed her a lot for being well-trained, and respond promptly to any situation . In a situation like this, she could trust her judgment .
She trailed down the hallway toward her father's study room . Before she grabs the knob, she takes a glance at Carlene whose following her behind . Slowly, she turned it to open the door .
Madison instantly runs and stood in front of her, shielding her against the man seated comfortably at the long couch .
"You seem to overreact toward me," with a dark glare, the man remarked irritatingly . "Instead of showing respect, you looked upon me as a dangerous man?"
Madison lifted her chin and bravely reacted to the man . "Does not mean that you claimed yourself as the Prince of Korea, now you earned the right to enter a house whose owner wasn't home . Can't you wait outside for the house owner to come back? Instead, in my point of view, you claimed to be a very important person . Unless you knew already where are they now . Am I correct, your highness?"
"I could see that filthy mouth you have there, lady," he said angrily .
"And I am surprised that you are fluent in French, your highness," sarcastically, she returned .
The prince laughs mockingly . "I could hire all the scholars to teach me every language I desired to learn . "
Madison's gaze sharpened, and the prince caught her glaring at him .
"It happens that you were standing in my kingdom . I already prick your eyes and cut your tongue, so then, that mouth of yours would be silence! And so, mind your place, maid!" he sneers . He cannot believe that someone would talk back at him, to a respectable prince like him, this woman dares to open her mouth .
"She's not a maid . " Marivella corrected . Wearing a calm presence, but her tone is firm .
The Prince stares at her for a long moment . After then, his gaze softens and his voice lowering a bit . "Then, if you have a plan to bring her along to Korea, discipline her attitude, and ensure to control her mouth . "
Marivella glanced at Madison, which her eyes pleading . She could sense that Marivella thinking to ask her if she could accompany her to go to Korea . However, that cannot be .
How she could explain this to her?
Besides, they made a plan of hiding Marivella, away from this stranger prince . She cannot ascertain but sense a vague feeling about him . She could not trust him fully even he was showing a soft side toward Marivella . He's treating her oppositely, it is acceptable, but she won't allow anyone to separate her parents, even her grandmother; Duchess Genevieve Williams .
"What did you do to them?" she questioned him afterward .
"Who are you talking about?" the Prince twitches his forehead, sharp glares flashes at Madison .
"Marivella's family . "
"You truly are disrespectful!" the prince violently sat up from the couch . "You dare to accuse me?" Astounded, this woman treating him poorly like looking down on him .
Anyway, Madison would not act haughtily toward him if she never saw the prince's right wrist . He is wearing a modern Swiss watch which what she had known, in this century there is no wristwatch yet .
Does it mean he is from the future?
Could be possible that this man also traveling time like them? He does suspicious .
And what is his purpose? Is he aiming for Marivella? Why?
