My Emotionless Goddess

Justin’s home was located a little far from the city which happened to be the state’s capital. The royal palace was built on top of a hill. It was raised above the ground making it strategically easy to defend during attacks. Two hours into the journey and Miranda had dozed off somehow. She was leaning on his shoulders. Miranda had barely had any sleep last night while getting herself all nervous and excited at the same time. It did not help that even after catching sleep for a few hours she woke up earlier than usual to exercise. She was completely worn out and her body could not handle the exhaustion.

The convoy finally arrived at the gates of the palace and after the security check were allowed to pass. At some point in the journey, the security details of the royal family had joined the entourage . Justin was glad that Miranda was asleep now, he was not ready to explain his identity to her, he preferred that she figured things out on her own. Despite arriving home, Justin still remained in the car. That’s because he could not bear to wake her up. She was enchanting even in her sleep. She looked peaceful like the sleeping beauty in the tales of snow white. Miranda who was very perceptive even in her half consciousness realised that the car was no longer moving causing her to open her eyes.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

” You woke up?” Justin asked, sounding disappointed. He had seen exhaustion in her eyes and hoped she could sleep for a while but now here she was, eyes fully open and leaving no trace of evidence that she was asleep just a moment ago. ” Have we arrived?”Miranda asked back to which justin nodded lightly. ” why did you not wake me up?” hse asked flustered. How could he let her sleep in the car when they had already reached their destination? ” You were sleeping peacefully. i could not bring myself to interrupt that.”Justin replied in all honesty. ” But we came here to visit your family Justin, how would they react knowing that I delayed you by sleeping in the car?” Miranda asked with a helpless sigh but Justin’s reply caught her off guard. ” Why should you care about what other people will think? it’s enough what i think about you. The rest do not matter at all.” justin said, his voice turning gloomy all of a sudden. He was never the one to care about what other people think of him, with the exception of his father ofcourse. knowing his step mother and brother, they will have quite a lot to say about his miranda. He did not want her to take them seriously so he could only indirectly tell her she only needed to please him and not his family.

” Come, let’s go. They are waiting for us.” he said, helping her down . The two then intertwined their hands together giving the message that they were a couple to whoever saw them. The first thing Miranda noticed after stepping down was the kindness of the place. even the passerways screamed of opulence. She also noticed people in uniform, the uniform she could recognize even in her dreams. Her grandfather made her memorise everything about the royal family. From the rules to the different ranks and uniform for each and every rank of royal workers. For example, the men patrolling the area in deep blue shirts and black trousers were the royal guards group b. She was damn sure by now that they were at the royal palace. Her heart for some reason started drumming and the earlier feeling of unsettling and restlessness came flooding her heart and body.

justin felt her grip on his hand tighten after seeing the royal guards, he could sense no fear from her but another concealed emotion. “Are you alright?” he asked, bringing Miranda back from her thoughts. ” umm yes, i am okay.” she replied. A lie! she lied to him. Justin was familiar with Miranda to realise when she was telling the truth or hiding something from him. He knew her that much and today was one of those moments she lied and faked being okay, he could tell but he would not expose her now. Hand by hand they walked through the hallway to the receiving chambers. This is where visitors were brought to and today, miranda was a visitor. When they entered the room, they found everyone waiting for them. an elderly man dressed in what miranda identified as butler uniform bowed lightly to greet them. ” welcome home your highness, young miss.” and miranda just confirmed that justin was the rumoured crown prince. Her heart started palpitating. She knew what that meant, it meant that Miranda, the next crown protector, was Justin’s shadow guard.

” please rise!” and just as the royal he was, his demeanour and aura instantly changed from the playful model Justin to the next king of the country. Miranda could not tell whether her current situation was a blessing in disguise or a curse. Who could have thought that of all women, Justin fell in love with his shadow guard. She started wondering if all this was a coincidence or a well thought of plan but then she shook her head realising how ridiculous her thoughts were. He did not need to use such ways to have her, she was his in the first place. But then, will her relationship be a problem or against the rules? her grandfather never said anything about that matter. she figured out she will have to talk with the king about that matter. Miranda then raised her head to look at the people in the room but what greeted her eyes made her ever emotionless face shine like it had been lit. Before she knew it, her legs had already moved like they had a mind of their own and clutched the king’s hands. ” Little uncle, what are you doing here?” Her excited voice surprised the people in that room but what shocked them was the title she used to address the king. little uncle? What the hell?
