Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 158 - Reminded Of Her Vulnerability

"Hi," Noah called out waving her with a friendly smile on her pretty face walking towards them. She paused on her track when she noticed Liam standing beside Rose.

Despite the gold mask Noah wore, Rose could easily recognize her because of the conversation they had during her welcoming party. Rose was not particularly happy to see Noah who was obviously overjoyed to see her.

She actually considered Noah's presence as a deviation from the mental task of tearing those clothes she thought was below her standard on her mind and remaking them into something more appeasing to her on her mind.

She was actually carrying out this tasks in order to avoid staring at Liam for too long. It should really be made a sin for anyone to look that attractive.

"You look so gorgeous," Noah said with a her smile further brightening her face to show a set of white teeth. She said that to Rose but her gaze was fixed on Liam who stood quietly beside Rose as though he wanted to make his presence reduce but it was really impossible for him to make that happen with the powerful aura that sorrounded him effortlessly.

"Thank you," Rose accepted the compliment mostly because she aware that she looked very gorgeous that night and that was made possible due to her hard work and the natural beauty she inherited from her mother.

"I see you want to let your relationship go public," Noah whispered to Rose her eyes unwilling to leave the beautiful male god. This was a very rare opportunity for her to get so close to the well-known Mr. Hale who was known for his inhuman overly attractive and powerful appearance.

"I have no idea about what you are talking about," Rose immediately replied. One of the things she was not comfortable with was someone confirming her identity as the princess and doing a good job of letting her know they knew.

It reminded her of her vulnerability and her weakness. It reminded her that she had to remain hidden like a mouse in the territory of a cat or a linen sewn under the upper layer of a dress – they are all meant to stay hidden.

Liam sensed her discomfort but he stood quietly watching her. He knew from Charlie that this girl whose name was Noah knew about Rose's true identity and they have been watching the girl closely for a while.

Gray suggested they end her life since they knew nothing about her and they could not trust her with the top secret of the princess' location but Charlie was totally against it.

He said the girl was smart and she helped them with one of the major informations they used when investigating what happened in the fire. He accepted the fact that the Intel the girl provided was very helpful but he could not conclude that the girl was not a threat to Rose or she might not be in the future so they decided to watch her closely.

Despite his agreement with Charlie's idea, he made up his mind as he glanced at the girl that he was going to make her disappear forever if she showed any hostility to Rose. It was enough that Rose's sister someone he could not trust. He did want a new person with an unclear identity around Rose.

"You clearly know what I am talking about. I don't want to spend more time stating the obvious. It is a bold move for him to be your date to the party. This is clearly a party for teenagers celebrating their great leap in leaving the guarded walls of high school. I bet he is bored," Noah whispered in a jovial manner with no hint of sarcasm or malice.

Liam who should not have heard what she said heard her very clearly due to his inhuman hearing ability. He looked away from the talking girls to the surrounding. If Rose needed help uprooting the girl beside her who was clearly turning herself into a weed, all she needed to do was to look at him and ask for help.

He returned his gaze to Rose expecting her to look at him pleadingly. She really did not need to say the words, her action was going to speak louder if she needed help from him but it seems she was too busy to spare him a glance.

The party was not for someone of his age but he was not bored at all because he had the fact distraction for him alone. Rose's beauty was too captivating for him to get bored of staying close to her.

Being present in the party meant he was close to Rose and also meant he could have enough of the beautiful view she offered him naturally. It was as though she was unaware of it but flaunted it in the best way anyone could.

Rose left Noah's question unanswered. "I thought you broke up with Wayne?" Rose had ask to know why Noah was present when she shouldn't be let into the building.

"You might not know this but I am the future director of this school," Noah answered naturally. "My mother is the present director and I was offered a special invitation to attend this party. You don't look really comfortable, are you okay? You don't look like you are enjoying any of this."

"Is it very obvious?" Rose asked glad that they were no longer talking about her identity or her handsome date.

"Yeah it is, your majesty," Noah said and courtesied in a dramatic manner.

". . ." Rose did not like the fact that they were back to that.

"Well, I guess since I have taken up the role of being your courtjester, I think I have to make this night a little interesting for you. I have two empty seats where I am sitting down and I don't think it is right for our royal Highness to stand. I know you want to leave right away but you should be comfortable for as long as you stay here," Noah offered in a very nice and friendly manner.

Rose glanced at Liam questioningly and he gave her a slight nod to tell her he was going to support whatever decision she was going to make.
