My Emotionless Goddess

Justin curbed his curiosity but took yet another glance at the dragon mark before following Miranda. Miranda ofcourse saw the interest in his eyes when he saw the Mark. Actually, she had purposely used this route to the ancestral hall. This was the South Wing and the hall was at the East Wing of the Hall. She had decided not to have him investigated but that did not mean she wouldn’t try luring the fish out with some worms and just as expected, he reacted. That confirmed her earlier suspicions that Justin was well acquainted with the royal signs. That could mean that he’s either the rumoured crown prince or among the rebels. He could either be someone close to the royal family.

She wondered if it ever turns out that Justin was among the rebels, will it come to a point that she’ll fight him to complete her life mission. But she decided to let that worry her another day. Miranda led Justin to the East Wing passing through the servants quarters. The servants, especially the butler, were surprised to see her. She knew why they seemed surprised, she didn’t call to inform them of their visit. Miranda was never fond of how the servants in the Lambert castle always lined up to greet their masters so she would sneakily avoid them.

” Good afternoon Miss.” The servants who saw her greeted her happily. To them, she was their master and despite her Cold nature, they were used to her. Miranda could only nod at them to indicate she received their greetings.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

” Good afternoon Young miss, you didn’t tell me you were coming.” The old Man came rushing towards Miranda.

” Uncle butler, I didn’t want to disturb you, besides I am only dropping by, I won’t stay for long.” Miranda said and smiled at him.

” Still, you could have told me so that I could have your favourite cake prepared.” The old man said, faking a pout. ” It seems the Young Miss no longer loves this old geezer.” He complained.

” Don’t say that, you know that’s not true. You are the one I Love most.” Miranda said acting all cute was something that threw Justin into a laughing fit. It’s because he never for once saw Miranda act so spoiled and somehow.. coquettish to another person, not even him. But the next moment, the laughter died down after what she said registered in his brain. She just confessed to another man Infront of him. That wasn’t even a problem considering that the man was old, what made him eat vinegar was the fact that Miranda never for once told him that she loved him. That sounded unpleasant in his ears.

” What did you just say?” He asked his face sour but the two people ignored him and continued talking like he was non existent. He could only grit his teeth and clench his fists in anger. How could she ignore him immediately when she saw her ‘ beloved’ ? But what he could do, he could only swallow his grievances and follow behind them like an obedient pet.

After walking for a few minutes, the two approached the ancestral hall. Miranda halted in her steps to allow Justin to catch up with them. She also wanted to introduce him to her old Man who was like a second grandfather to her. Justin was wearing a fake mask of pain, he pretended to be like an abandoned kitten causing Miranda to facepalm. But she’ll indulge him for now. ” Justin, meet uncle Butler.” She said, dragging him to herself and holding his hand intimately.

” Hello Uncle?” Justin greeted, despite his displeasure, he was taught to respect elders. ” Young Man, do you think you are worthy of our Miranda?” Uncle Butler asked Justin disapprovingly. He eyed Justin from head to toe shaking his head.

” Eeer uncle, what’s about me don’t you like?” Justin asked awkwardly. How could that old fellow ask him that? He is the crown prince of this State and the most handsome man in town. Countless women would die to have him even look their Way twice.

” Your face is too catchy. I don’t want my little girl to have to fight to keep Ladies out of your pants and bed.” The old Man said seriously, causing Justin to be hit by a wave of shock.

” You don’t have to worry about that uncle, only Miranda can get to My bed and pants.” He replied shamelessly, shocking both the old man and Miranda. The old man was sent to a coughing fit by Justin’s words. Miranda rushed to his side and started rubbing his back to soothe him while glaring at Justin. Seeing her sending glares at him, Justin wondered what he could have possibly done wrong. Finding no fault in his words, he could only rub his neck awkwardly. After the old man stabilised his breathing, he raised his shaky fingers and pointed Justin while saying accusingly, ” shameless! How could you say that so openly? Aren’t you afraid of what others will think of you after hearing your words?” He was agitated but in reality the Old man was rejoicing inside, at last, the young Miss found someone who loves her and values her. Now, he can rest in peace and be able to proudly meet his friend in the other world. He had been worried that due to Miranda’s social awkwardness and her ever stone face, she might end up scaring suitors away and remain unmarried all her life. But it seems that she found someone perfect for her. Although he was rejoicing inside, he could only wear a stern face to try ànd intimidate the young Man.

” But you were the One who said…”

” Shut up will you?” Miranda shouted at him but on closer look, her beautiful face was as red as a tomato. She was embarrassed by Justin’s words. How could he utter such words openly like it was no big deal. Justin could only clamp his mouth shut after he was berated by his woman. He didn’t think he was wrong but he wouldn’t argue either. His father always reminded him that the woman was always right. That was a basic rule for a peaceful marriage.
