Chapter 407 Escort (3)
Around and around we went.
It didn't seem like the princess was planning on giving up at all as she kept crushing all the herbs that I tried to pick.
It took no time at all for us to exhaust all of the herbs that were in this area.
And at the same time, both of us were panting with exhaustion since we had been running around competing for these herbs in the first place.
The strangest thing was...there was a faint smile on our lips.
Halfway through this, I couldn't help feeling that this was almost fun.
The way that I tried to pick the herbs and the way that she tried to sabotage me, it was almost like a game.
Even if it was frustrating, it strangely gave me a sense of enjoyment that I didn't understand.
When we had cleared out all the herbs in this area, there wasn't anything else for us to compete over.
The two of us sat there on the ground trying to catch our breaths.
It was also at this time that the butler came over with a basket in hand and a piece of cloth under his arm.
He came over with a smile and said, "It's time for lunch. Shall I set things up for the two of you?"
I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I saw this, but my stomach was more honest. When I smelled the scent of the food coming from the basket, my stomach couldn't help growling.
I also heard the sound of another stomach growling and when I turned in that direction, I saw the cloaked figure of the princess holding her stomach.
If I had been able to see her face, I was certain that I would have seen the blush on her face.
When he heard this, the butler didn't seem to react at all to the sounds of our stomachs growling.
He just came forward to find a clear area before setting down the piece of cloth under his arm.
Once he put down that piece of cloth, the butler spread it out on the ground and put the basket down. He opened the basket and slowly started taking food items out before spreading them out on the blanket.
It didn't take him long to finish spreading out the picnic.
When he was done, the butler turned back to us and said, "Young miss, Count Zwein, if you please. I'll prepare the food for you now."
The two of us looked at each other before slowly sitting down on the blanket.
The princess sat down first and then I sat down on the opposite side of the blanket from her.
I didn't see what expression she had, but it almost seemed like she was unhappy seeing me act this way.
In fact, she even stood up and moved closer to me to sit down.
I felt uncomfortable like this, but I couldn't just stand up and move away. That would be considered an insult to the princess, so I had no choice but to sit there with her close to me.n.(O).v/.e/-l--b(-1./n
The butler didn't seem to notice any of this as he prepared some food for us.
Even though this was a picnic, the spread that the butler had brought definitely wasn't small.
This was a spread that even included roasted chicken and many different kinds of roasted meat. It was definitely not a spread that a commoner would be able to get that easily.
Yet the butler had brought it out into the forest with us.
That was just how the rich and powerful acted, they would have things that commoners would never have.
Still, there was no reason for me to hold back.
Since I had been forced to come on this escort mission, I should at least enjoy the perks that came with it.
But to my surprise...the princess suddenly took the plate that the butler had prepared for me.
I thought that she was angry at me and didn't want me to eat, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Instead, she used her fork to pick a piece of the chicken and she brought it up to my mouth as if she wanted to feed me.
My chin couldn't help dropping when I saw her do this.
What was her plan here?
What did she mean by this?
Was she doing this as a sign that this would be my last meal for annoying her?
Or was she just harassing me for no reason?
I really couldn't understand what she was trying to do here...
But of course I couldn't let her actually go through with it.
If the fourth prince found out...or even if the king found out.
I could see that the fourth prince was the same as the king, where they both doted on her. If I did anything that could be considered taking advantage of the princess, there was no doubt that they would execute me.
So no matter what I couldn't let her feed me like this.
Instead of taking a bite of the chicken that she offered me, I reached my hand out towards the plate and the fork she was holding. As I reached out for them, I said, "It's not a problem, I can eat it myself."
But to my surprise, I found that she wouldn't let me take them at all.
The moment that I tried to take them, she immediately pulled her hands away to prevent me from taking the plate and fork.
Then she said, "All you have to do is eat. You don't need to worry about anything else."
I couldn't help feeling a bad feeling when I heard this.
It wasn't as if it was an ominous feeling, it was just like something bad was about to happen.
I really didn't know what this feeling was, but I knew that I couldn't go along with it.
So I tried taking the plate and fork from her again.
In the end, the princess put them both down and crossed her arms as if she was angry with me.
But what had I done?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
