I took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself. That move backfired when I ended up breathing in a lungful of the prince’s scent. Was it just me or did the smell of roses intensify so much in such a short period of time?
The sweet smell soon became so intoxicating that I couldn’t really hear what Prince Leonard was saying anymore. My mind felt hazy and I couldn’t concentrate no matter how hard I tried. My body shifted uncomfortably on the prince’s lap as my breathing quickened.
The throbbing pain in my shoulder returned in full stream as my body seemed to heat up. I placed a hand on my chest as I struggled to breathe. I should have known that something like this was bound to happen if I was close to the prince for too long.
“Mila…” Prince Leonard called my name softly.
