Sold to a Prince!

"Your highness, did I ever ask you for such a thing?" Sylvia completely forgot about her strange nightmare and crossed her arms in front of her chest, her voluptuous breasts heaving up and down in anger.

"This… Umm…" Mikel stammered for the first time in his life. 

His cute and innocent kitten suddenly looked like a fiery tigress who was ready to pounce on him and not in the good way which he liked.

He thought that she would be happy, but she was clearly not. Mikel had no idea where he went wrong. 

"Baby this is better. This way no one would question your presence near me and you don't have to act like a maid or slave ever again." He hurriedly explained.

Sylvia, however, did not look pleased. "Your highness, do you know that being a maid or slave is better than being a mistress?"

She was far too outraged to spell things out for him and dashed into the bathroom to cool herself down but not before slamming the door shut on his face.

Mikel couldn't help but silently gaze at the closed door with a perplexed expression. He still did not understand!

Not long after, Theodore and another maid walked in with a trolley full of freshly prepared food from the kitchen.

"Theo…" Mikel looked up at his friend helplessly. Seeing the grave look on his face, the knight tensed up. "Did something happen, your highness?"

Mikel waved his hand to dismiss the maid first and then stood up, standing face to face with the knight, his hand on the man's shoulder.

He seemed as if he was going to break terribly bad news and Theo started fretting. However, the next few words which came out of Mikel's mouth…

"Theo… She is angry with me… What should I do?"

Theodore blinked, Mikel's words not even registering in his mind. "Hmmm? Pardon?" He asked again.

"Sylvia. She is angry with me man. What am I supposed to do now?" Mikel sighed hopelessly, his face grave as if someone had died.

Oh. Theo mumbled, finally grasping what his friend was talking about. 

A serious expression appeared on his face as well, his fingers rubbing his chin as he pondered about Mikel's predicament.

After a long minute or so of silence, Theodore suddenly looked like he had realized something important and moved his lips. "Hmm… Did you tell her about the mistress title? That should make her happy?"

"You!!! Why do you think she is upset with me in the first place?" Mikel shook his head helplessly, making Theodore just as confused as him.

"Shouldn't she be happy?" The knight furrowed his brows and seriously pondered, making Mikel even more depressed. 

He had asked the wrong question to the wrong person! If there was someone denser than him, it was Theodore!

Mikel sat back down, clutching his head in his hands when a few minutes later, Theodore once again started to say something, only to be stopped by Mikel beforehand. "Please. Don't make me more depressed. Where is Leol?" He sighed.

Theo shrugged his shoulders, not in the least bothered. "I can go get him for you?"

"Thanks, brother," Mikel replied without looking up. Grey clouds hovered above his head.

"Alright." Theodore nodded and walked out of the room, but just before closing the door, he paused and muttered. "I think she likes food."

The knight then closed the door and was already off on his way to bring the more experienced person to Mikel.

However, his words resonated with Mikel as he had noticed something similar as well. 

The man's eyes brightened up as he left the trolley full of food in the room itself and waltzed off to the kitchen in a hurry.

When Sylvia returned back after the bath, she had calmed down somewhat as she didn't mean to lose her temper like that.

Even she understood why he had done what he had done. Nevertheless, it hurt her pride, and so she ended up being unintentionally rude to the man.

However, as she searched for the devil and his adorable face, he was nowhere to be seen, and instead, a couple of maids hovered in front of her.

"My Lady, his highness has requested that you join him for breakfast in the garden." One maid bowed and muttered. "Please allow us to help you get ready." Another one added.

Sylvia blinked a couple of times, but then after realizing what was going on, she chuckled lightly. 

The man was clearly trying to bribe her with food! But she didn't mind it, as that was her favorite method of bribery!

Sylvia let the two maids do their work as they helped her into another dress, a much elegant and beautiful one than she was currently wearing.

They also helped her braid her long silver hair, making fancy knots and twists on it, which amused her.

If it was any other day, she might have felt a bit uneasy about being pampered like this. 

But after the night she had and the weird nightmare which she just couldn't shake off, Sylvia let herself relax a little.

And moreover, the two maids seemed very experienced. She wondered if they usually served the Queen or perhaps one of the King's concubines as they were extremely professional and talented.

A few minutes later, they were finally done and Sylvia curiously checked her reflection in the mirror, only to end up smiling in embarrassment. 

If someone looked at her right now, they would probably never guess that she was a mere slave.

"Your highness, which jewelry would you prefer?" One of the maids asked, opening a box and showing Sylvia a whole assortment of jewelry.

For a second, she couldn't even look at the bunch of jewels studded heavily with gems. The entire box was blinding as if it was a treasure chest.

Sylvia immediately shook her head. "No, thank you." She was not fond of wearing such heavy uncomfortable jewelry.

Women typically wore such clunky items just for the purpose of showcasing their status and wealth and she neither had nor cared about any of that. So she promptly refused.

Besides… she already had a chain and that was more than enough for her… the chain which Mikel had tied around her calling it a leash. 

Since then they had come a long way. A warm smile danced on her lips as she gently fiddled with the thin silver chain.

Sylvia stood up and walked out of the guest room, accompanied by the two maids. They led her to the garden, where she saw the devil sitting with an anxious smile on his face.

He stood up abruptly as soon as he saw her and walked over to her, taking her hand gently into his and placing a kiss at the back of her palm. "Good morning, my dear."

Sylvia had originally planned to apologize to him for getting so angry over nothing, but when she saw him, she had the urge to tease his anxious face.

For once, their roles had reversed and she was not the one who was flustered and nervous to the point of losing it. 

It also made her very warm and happy to see that the devil cared so much about her, even her impulsive little tantrum.

Sylvia scoffed and wiped the smile which was threatening to show on her face. "Good morning, your highness." She replied back, cold and distant, making Mikel even more flustered.

He waved for the maids to leave them alone and personally pulled a chair forward for Sylvia to sit. 

"I hope you are hungry, my darling?" He leaned forward to kiss the woman's cheeks but Sylvia mercilessly leaned away, not giving him the opportunity.

A small sigh escaped his lips as Mikel silently pulled another chair beside her. He was not giving up just yet.

He quickly took out a plate of sizzling hot aromatic steak and placed it in front of Sylvia. 

"I had this prepared specially for you." He began explaining with excitement, but his new mistress cut him short. "How am I supposed to eat something heavy and greasy first thing in the morning?"

"But dear… the other day… " Mikel found himself once again speechless. 

Of course, he knew that no one would prefer eating something heavy early in the morning, but he also knew that Sylvia liked it as she had especially eaten all the meat dishes when they had had breakfast together previously.

However, he didn't dwell on the small setback as he had smartly prepared some backups. "Would you like some fresh tea and pastries, dear?" He asked.

"There is also warm milk and spirit honey. This honey is from one of the magical beast hives and it is very nutritious. Here taste it."

Mikel held a spoon up, after scooping some very expensive honey and held it close to Sylvia's mouth.

However, unfortunately, his woman was still not pleased. "I am not a child, your highness." Sylvia grabbed the spoon from his hands but licked the honey nevertheless.
