Whenever I listen to Lincoln, I end up feeling guilty. There is a part of myself that I regret not knowing he likes me. And I keep thinking, What if... What if I ended up having feelings for him rather than the prince? If only he had confessed to me before the prince, my situation would not be as complicated as it is.
I laughed at the idea. I'm certain the prince will loathe me if he hears what I've just thought.
As I was making my way back to the prince's private room, I noticed that the prince had already made his way upstairs.
I guess he didn't notice me. But when I think about it, it's like he came from his private room, which means that it's impossible for him to not see me coming back. Or maybe he's mad at me again because I went with Lincoln.
He was angry again, just as I thought. When I walked into the room, Prince Augustus pretended not to notice me and let me just go on my way as though I had committed a terrible mistake. This is nothing new to me; I expect him to behave in this manner. I know how difficult it is to please the prince, so I let him act like that again for a while. This will only last a day, so I'll put up with his behavior.

I had just stepped out of the shower when I was startled by a loud bang that came from my window. I was taken aback as I saw the prince trying to break through my window.
I was surprised because of him, but he was surprised to see me with nothing covering my body but a bath towel.
"SEBASTIAN!"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry," The moment he realized what had happened, Prince quickly turned around and apologized before continuing to wait for me to finish getting dressed.
"You shouldn't be here. What if someone sees you snooping around at this hour... in my room?"
"I try to avoid being seen at all costs."
"I'm done,"
He returned his gaze to mine.
"Could you please stop doing that? Just use a normal door, like a normal guy."
"You can't expect me to because I'm not normal,"
I was about to approach him when all of a sudden he put up one hand to stop me from moving closer to him. "I still feel upset,"
"If that's the case, then why are you here?"
"I'm upset that I'm upset with you. That makes me upset."
"You don't make any sense, prince."
"Why didn't you come to talk to me sooner?"
"I gave you some time to think it over because you seem upset again.,"
"At the end of the day, it's my fault again."
"Wait a minute, what exactly do you believe this situation is all about?"
"How come you don't mind if I go with someone else? Do you like Lincoln so much that you'd rather go with him?"
It's kind of amusing to see his reaction whenever he's jealous. Prince is behaving like a girlfriend upset with her boyfriend, who happens to be me.
Explaining everything to Prince Augustus eventually brings the hot-headed prince to his senses.
Prince Augustus could not stop cuddling, nor could he stop complaining about how depressed he was throughout the entire day. Prince has only recently regained his energy after finally cuddling me. The prince can't stay in my room any longer, no matter how badly he wants it.
However, no matter how hard I push him, he refuses to leave my arms and continues to cuddle like a leech.
He, being a child, stopped when someone knocked on my door again, just like when we were in his private room.
"Ugh? Why do they keep preventing us from enjoying this brief moment to ourselves?" Prince Augustus muttered.
He prevented me from releasing the latch by gripping my arm much more tightly.
Prince Augustus believes that if we simply ignore the knocking, it will eventually cease. However, it was the complete opposite, as the knocking became even louder. At that point, he released his grip on me.
Prince Augustus hid behind the door, and when I opened it, all I saw was Mr. Osiris.
"Mr. Osiris, what brings you here at this hour?" I asked.
"I'm sorry for bothering you at this late hour, Gemma. Someone dropped this off at the mailbox earlier this afternoon, and I noticed that it has your name in it."
"Are you certain, Mr. Osiris, that it was for me?"
Even though the prince was hiding behind the door, he still couldn't resist pinching me and doing childish things toward me. I was on the verge of losing control and laughing uncontrollably. And I believe Mr. Osiris is aware of it because he is currently noticing my behavior.
During my conversation with Mr. Osiris, I noticed he was trying to sneak a peek inside my room. But I was in his way, and whenever he tried to peek to the side, I was there to obstruct his view.
"Mr. Osiris, is there anything that you need to give me?"
"Nothing," He grinned. "Gemma, make sure to get enough sleep tonight."
He sensed someone in my room and Mr. Osiris knew what was going on.
