“I love you,” he whispered when we broke apart, but I could feel his breath on my lips.

“I love you too...baby.” The moment I said it, I cringed and tried to hide my face in his neck as he broke out into a booming laugh. “Shut up! I’m never saying that again.”

“Why? I like it!”

“No!” I argued as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap.

“Gale...”

“Don’t you mean baby?” He snorted.

I glared at him. However, the longer I looked at him, the faster my heart began to beat. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, his lips were on mine, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

We would have stayed there, kissing until we both fainted from lack of oxygen, but my stomach growled again, causing him to laugh again.

“I skipped breakfast.” Ugh! I was just embarrassing today.

“Well, we can’t have that. What do we have here?” he said, shifting to lift the basket. I moved to get out of his lap, but he held me there with his other hand. The best I could do was sit between his legs and lean against his chest. He took out a plate of perfectly cut sandwiches, apples, and fruits, and wine. “For you.”

“Isn’t it a bit early?”

“In Ersovia, it’s never too early. Besides, didn’t we agree to ignore the rules today.”

I nodded, happily taking the glasses. I watched as Gale talked and explained that he had never been on a picnic date before, so he wasn’t sure exactly what went into the basket, making me realize he had packed everything himself.

How could I give up? How could I be scared when he was holding on so tightly?

“Spoiled Heiress Demands Her Horse!”

It is reported that Prince Galahad spent a jaw-dropping thirty-eight thousand euros to fly in Odette Wyntor’s personal horse after she turned her nose up at the royal horses.

You would think she would care more for the country that she may one day rule over than she does a horse.

Meanwhile, Sophia De Loutherbergh, Dowager Duchess of Elmburgh, visited the Sisters of Canterbury and other widows.

“Battle of the Adelina's.”

The commencement for the Royal University of Ersovia is this Friday. However, who will give the speech? That is the question the palace is struggling with.

Traditionally, the Adelaar is meant to take the role, but he is scheduled to be at Trinity Row on the day of the graduation for a chamber vote on the Nationalism Reform Act.

Both Odette Wyntor and Sophia De Loutherbergh, Dowager Duchess of Elmburgh, wish to give the speech, and neither wishes to give in.
