Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate

In fact, she want to see all her closed one's happy and bright even if she won't be in that family picture in future. This time, she isn't running for his love, but instead, want to be his supportive pillar, just like he supported her in her previous life and help him to make his wishes come true.

She learnt the lesson.The more you chase something, the more it would escape from your grasp. So, she decided to stay and love. Show Evan that not only he can support and love her, but she could also, reciprocate them.

She has changed in this life and can see Evan is also, changed to some extent. He is still cold, but expresses his love well, unlike last time. She liked it. She wished they would be like this, forever.

" Let's make your wish true together, " She muttered unconsciously, a wave of determination filled in her eyes as she gazed the moving boat inside the lake water.

This small boat is telling a life lesson to her as her meaningful stare landed on it.

This life is just like that small boat.

Just like how favorable winds help the boat to sail, the same winds have the power to topple the boat.

A single storm is enough to sink the boat, but if it could sustain the storm then what stores for the it is waves full of calmness and brightness in the future.

Calm seas never make skilled sailor, and strong boats which can withstand the heavy winds and storms. We can't direct the wind, but we can always adjust the sailing to reach the destination.

If we link out life with this,

Problems and hardships might flood our way, however, if could survive from them and sustain from any  hardships, then we get the result of our work and we will become stronger than before. Hardships are needed in order to make one stronger and make us better compared to before.

Of course, pain would be there. But, what is a war, if you dont come out with some scars. They are the sign of you that has crossed to the struggle to achieve your success and happiness. They are your ornamentals, where each scare represent how well you fought in the war and got back alive. Those are the signs of your bravery and not mere scars which will decrease your beauty. 

Truth is, life gives hints from the surroundings. If you observe around you, you could lead a happy life, with nature as your teacher. 

Quickly regaining her thoughts, she spoke, " I am never a narcissistic unlike someone who always flaunts his beauty to others openly, " She spoke, not directly pointing his name, but indirectly directed everything to him. As she spoke, her palms tried to warm up each other.

Evan looked at her and knew the meaning of her words, but those words only put smile on his face. He saw her actions and noticed the sudden drop in temperature and her feeling chilly, he immediately slipped his jacket out of his shoulders and put it on her securely. A hint of love and care ran through his eyes, as he covered her with his jacket. 

Shocked, Aeinshia blurted out, " Evan? What are you doing?"

" Don't you know better what am I doing? Are you a kid to get explanations for every act? Aren't you taking your regular lessons properly to detect anything by yourself?" He said playfully and faked a disappointed sigh.

"The breeze feels a bit cold. So it is only advisable for an true warrior to protect his lady from the freezing breeze, my princess, " He clearly explained her, Leaning towards her petite frame, he whispered as he continued to tug her warmly inside his coat, " I don't like cowards. You need to be brave enough to admit if you spoke daringly, talk to their face. Our actions reflect our personality. " He spoke, teasing her, not forgetting that she indirectly spoke about him.

Saying that, he right away leaned back, guessing she might feel uncomfortable.

Aeinshia frowned lightly,  forgetting that he is setting her into a trap, she blindly fell into it, " Yeah, I am talking about you. So what? What could you even do? Even if you complain about me, my uncle will always side with me no matter what. The same goes with my father and brother. So, who would even take your side? See, I am very brave. I can talk right at their faces if I got anything to say, " She roared back and said everything without thinking in one go.

(Seems like our little princess has lot to learn. Sigh~. - author).

Huff~

She huffed, taking a deep breath to control herself as her senses hyped up at once.

A broad smile spread on his face listening to her answer, " Does that mean you are trying to make me like you by telling me you are brave? " He asked, his eyes observing her expressions, not wanting to miss any single detail of her facial expressions.

Her frown deepened understanding she fell deep inside a pit created by the sly Evan. Why she should admit it? Why should he talk in a roundabout manner? If he got anything to tell, then he should tell on face just like he told before. What an Hypocrite. Why play pull and push? Say something and do something else.

Hmphh~

"You are such an hypocrite, Prince Evan. If you have something to prove, say it daringly to my face." She said in a mocking tone. 

Evan chuckled loudly and Aeinshia tried hard, not to slip a smile. She had to stay strong against his schemes! "Well, you still like me, my princess." He said in between in laughs. 

Aeinshia froze in her actions and stared at him, blood rushing to her face. 'But, I love you' she said out in her head and her eyes widened by it. But, that word kept repeating inside her head. She had to stop them, before she says them out loud. 

Such thoughts ran inside her brain, " When did I ever say that I like you? And love can't be forced, " She replied back.

" Yeah, forced love isn't sweet and it can't be forced, but if it's you, then I'm willing to taste this bitterness. Exceptions could be done my princess, " He winked playfully, as he continued teasing and tugging at her heart strings, while at the same time, his act conveyed, he is willingly and truly accepting her love since she is trying her best to get his love.

'You really knew how to act. I underestimated you all these while. Want to get it out of my mouth? Let me see who will be the one to admit their feelings first.'

Aeinshia pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, which is dangling on her face. Narrowing her look, " Does the Mighty prince Evan know that his words can be misunderstood? It would be easy for others to misunderstand your intentions very easily. "

Evan didn't stop grinning, achieving half of his plan. It's really not his initial plan. He only thought about spending some quality time together and this wonderful moment came like a bonus to him. Now that there is a chance given, why won't he use it to it's

.

After all, opportunities won't come knocking at one's door everytime, we need to sometimes turn situations into opportunities at our convenience.

" Is it others? Or you? My princess? " He specifically asked her.

A crease formed on her forehead, " What difference does it make whether it's others or me. At the end, misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, which need to be corrected, " She replied back.

Evan nodded his head as though he bought her point. Raising his hand, pinching her nose, " There is a lot of difference my princess. If it's others, then we don't have to care about what they think and if it's you, then we don't have to correct the misunderstanding. So let everyone misunderstand. Won't it be the best way for everyone. That way, word can get out about how romantic is this prince. "

Aeinshia gave an unfathomable smile, and then replied, " You are telling me things which I know already and that's not romantic in the least bit. That's called flirting. Are you sure you went to learn how to run an empire in city Valencia? Or did you go their to take classes on how to flirt? " She commented on him, but really happy inside for the changes in him and for the love he is showering her in.

" Yes, yes, you must know that much, but princess, look at you, knowing alot about love and flirting? Are you sure you aren't reading those romantic cliche books inside the Royal library? " He enquired her, wondering.

Aeinshia pouted lightly, as Evan pointed out her little secret. Well more like an open secret. Everyone knew, she is a sucker for sweet love stories and dreamed of a romance like that. 

But suddenly something hit her, a smile returned to her lips, but it was not the innocent one, but a sly one, " How does the great prince of seazle empire know, that there is an entire section of romantic novels inside the Royal library? " She never met him inside the library nor ever saw any books when she visited his chambers before. So she asked him directly, without beating around the bush. 

Kekk~ kekkk~ coughing lightly.
