Abigail pov

I gulped as I heard him talking about that night. So she has not forgotten me. She has just taken me as Noah and now she would ask her further questions. I looked at Bella who was frowning with Noah. 

He surely would kill me if he knew that I had used his name without even asking him. 

"So, she wants to marry you due to a rendezvous of a night." I asked, pressuring my memory to remember if something special happened that night that made her fall in love with Noah.

"I have already told you I have never met her. I have never shared a horse ride with any girl." he replied through gritted teeth.

His annoyance created goosebumps on my skin. I shuddered at the thought that they would discuss it and he would realize that I was the one who was riding that night in the woods!

"Umm, i have something to tell you." I said with a bit of hesitation as I looked at Bella. She nodded and left the room.

"What is it?" His voice told me that he had already noticed my gift-filled face.

"I.. I got lost in the woods when I was competing for the contents of the best knights. And I met a group of people near the lake.`` I started trying to sound pitiful at the start but he cut me off blatantly.

"What did you do there?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Well, I could not tell them that I am a woman. In case, they have evil thoughts towards me. So I kept my face hidden behind the mask and asked them to show me the way to the town."

"And you told them their name as Noah!!!!!!" He was looking exasperated and I bit my lips.

"Well the girl volunteered to take me to the town and then she asked my name. And I did not remember any knight except you. So, I took your name. I have never thought that we will meet again. And how would i know that she is a provinces of northern kingdom.\'\' I defended and he sighed.

"What have you told her that she declared that we are going to marry?" he asked again as he ran a hand in his hair and I shook my head.

"I did not promise anything like that. I swear on the name of my family i just used your name, that\'s it.\'\' I replied in a haste.

"Then we have to act like we did not know her. If she would force further then I will just beat her knights." he said with a sigh and I frowned.

"But Noah, only in the morning, she came to meet the crown prince as her future wife. And she behaved very arrogantly there." I replied, and he shook his head.

"That woman is crazy anyway. I do not want to entangle myself in this mess. Staying away from the royal family, I want to spend my life peacefully." he replied and walked out of the room. 

I pursued my lips at his lack of trust. I was sure I had said nothing that would make the girl fall in love with me!

"If she came to disturb us again. I will ask his highness to control his future wife.`` I mumbled as I laid on the bed.

Tomorrow there will be a practice for the knight group, but due to my injuries I could not participate. I was given a pass since I have already taken part in the knight\'s competition and won it.

But lying here was boring too. So, I stood up and walked out of the room. I should better go and read some books or help Oliver and Bella in settling their work.

"You should have not done that, your highness. Even if you have doubts, you should keep your feelings hidden. What if others know that you were lying and faking all this time.`` I heard Lucas complaining. So, instead of going out, I peeked out of the room.

"You were not there, Lucas. You have not seen him. There is so much resemblance that my heart is not ready to believe that it was a mirage. In fact, it has given me hope that maybe he was saved somehow and lived his life as a knight all those years." he said, shaking his head as he looked out of the window.

"Your highness, if he would have been alive, he would have come back and if he did not contact anyone that means he did not want to be found. So it is better that you let him go and concentrate on your mission." he said as he moved and closed the window.

I walked back into the room with confusion. What were they talking about!?

I only went out when they were not there anymore.

"My lady, her highness is calling you." Leo was already at the door when I tried to walk out of the room. I nodded and walked behind him.

"Ah, you are finally here. I heard that we both do not need to give the exam tomorrow. So I thought, why don\'t we improve our political knowledge in the meantime." to say that i was surprised would be an understatement. Did she not hate the politics!

"Sure, shall we start with the art of politics or strategies of war?" I asked as I picked the books from the table but she kept shaking her head on every book.

"Then what do you want to read, my lady?" I asked with a frown as she had rejected all the books.

"I want to discuss practical things. I will rather spend time talking about my empire and his future." she replied, making me confused.

  "Tell me how strong the position of William would be if he married the princess of the north kingdom. Would it be sufficient to make him the emperor of the empire?" she asked with a mischievous smirk on her face.
