Chapter 15: Little Adventure

"Hmp! You must have benefited from it!" I chuckled softly.

"Well, it will be a big sale in your country. I just obtained a picture of your Prince in an awkward situation." She gasped loudly and seconds later I could hear her giggles.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"But there's a but." She calmed down and then she snorted which made me and Syl laugh.

"Tsk! I knew it!" She frowned at the camera while glaring at me.

"Chill, I'm not sure if the Prince is really one of them." Her eyes widened then she tilted her head and look at somewhere then she suddenly nodded.

She's being weird again.

"Send me! But I won't confirm it for you!" I tsked and glared at her.

I already expected this but still! She's my best friend!

Hayst.

"I won't. Find another way to have money." I said and ended the call.

That's my best friend also the prince's cousin.

She loves breaking their family rules so much that her mother won't have any more choice but to suspend the money they are giving her. They've cut all her bank accounts, some are frozen. Her condo was confiscated, her cars, her passport, or anything that will make her have any source of money.

"I send it already." I nodded at Syl.

"Should we shop?" She asks lazily but her expression says otherwise.

Her eyes are shining brighter than the sun it feels like it blinded my eyes. I look away and sighed heavily.

This woman is really...

-

I exhaustedly lay in my bed. I grab a pillow and hug it tightly. It softness is inviting me into deep slumber.

Just how many times did I promise to myself that I'll never entertain Syl anymore when it comes to shopping?!

Every damn time!

"I'm so tired..." I muttered while staring at my ceiling.

It looks so empty.

It's just black. No designs at all.

I suddenly miss my glowing in the dark galaxies.

Second later I just found myself sleeping soundly.

-

When I was still studying in high school, I live in a penthouse. Back then, I'm so addicted to anything that connected with stars or the universe.

Back then, I always attend every girl scout activities. I love exploring especially in nature. And then one time, on our field trip in the countryside I got lost.

Since I'm not really friendly, I always want to explore alone though our teacher wants us to go by pair but of course, they can't do anything to me. So, they let me explore alone.

But to make things short, I got lost but instead of panicking, I stayed calm. Luckily, I end up in a place full of vendors who sell different things.

However, my phone is dead and I'm not good at direction. But instead of feeling sad, I decided to use all my money and buy all things that caught my attention. Actually, it is a good thing for me before because my parents are really strict with me.

I excitedly bought things and my bag is almost full of things I bought- almost star and moon figures. The case is, my money is running low and I still have not found a room to sleep.

Now, I can only hope that they know right away that I'm missing even though know that's its a little bit impossible. To be honest, when there is an event like this, I really got lost for a long time. But this time I am really lost.

I sat on the side of the road and just sighed at my situation. Luckily, I bring a lot of food so I won't starve but I value my sleep more but I guess I won't have the sleep I need.

I was peacefully eating my food my a cry caught my attention I was so distracted that I can't even take another bite on my sandwich as I look at where the cry came from.. it was on the dark side of the street. I looked around and saw no one noticed it and they were still busy with their businesses. I gulped hard as I  ate half of my sandwich and quickly chewed it and drank the yakult placed in my tumbler.

I grab my bag and get my flashlight and knife before putting the straps of my bag on my shoulder. 

But as I approached there the sound of crying disappeared so I stopped. But after some time I decided to continue and maybe something happened that made him stop crying.

But what I saw shocked me.

It was a boy who looks the same age as me. I went near him and saw that he is wounded in his belly. There's an alcohol and some medical kit beside him. Then, it occurred to me, he wasn't crying because he is lonely! He was crying because it is painful!

"Let me help you," I said and grab my bag but before I could even do that, he was ahead of me and quickly pulled out his sword that was on the side of his waist.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" His voice is domineering while his sword is pointed at me.

I frowned and tilted my head.

He is wearing a mask that only covers his eyes. However, I could tell that he is a good-looking man.

My heart doubled its pace when he remove his mask. He has that kind of look that will stop you in your tracks. His black eyes, but mostly in the shade of hazel brown could make your knees go weak. His brows were graceful but currently furrowed in a frown. His jaws were sharp and his cheekbones were angular. While watching him domineeringly pointing his sword made me bite my lower lip in agitation. It is like the encapsulation of Adonis and a Greek warrior is pointing his sword at me.

I puff my cheeks before smirking. "Dude, chill I'm a doctor-" He squinted his eyes that made me laugh.

"Future." I continued and chuckled.

I tried to step closer but he glared at me and in a blink, of an eye, I could feel a cold metal on my neck.

"Dude, I'm trying to help here! Goodness!" I pushed his sword away- I mean he let me.

I smiled at him as he put his sword back. So, I grab my bag and search for my first aid kit. Since my bag is full of stuff, I remove all of them and put them back when I grab my kit.

"Hold the flashlight for me." Still, on his guard, he obeyed me.

I lift his shirt and saw that it was not cleaned enough since there was still some dirt around the messy bandage.

"Tsk! Tsk! You don't value your life anymore? This seems deep!" I said when I remove the bandage.

It seems like it was wounded by a knife and it was pretty deep. I shook my head and cleaned it again. I could hear his muffled whimpers as he bit his lower lip hard.

"You can shout. You are giving me another work if you'll make your lips bleed." He is breathing heavily as I could feel his almost like dagger stares piercing through me.

"W-why are y-you so talkative?" I sneered.

"I'm distracting you!" He snorted but did not say anything.

I keep on talking and talking to him making sure that he'll be distracted from pain as I stitched his wounds.

"You know what, I have a secret that not a lot knew! Even my friends don't know about it and I'm going to tell you!" I aesthetically told him.

He is just looking at me without emotion on his face but it did not matter. I was happy to meet him. I was happy that I meet someone I know who does not care what I'll tell him and besides he doesn't like someone who likes gossip!

"Would you believe me if I told you that I'm a princess of this country and was hidden for an unknown reason?" His forehead creased and raises his eyebrow.

"Little girl, everybody dreamed to be a royalty." I snorted and laugh.

"Right!" I said and told him all my pain, happiness, adventures, and my dream.

He quietly listened to me as he shares some things about him too. Joining my joke that he is a prince too.

"What is that thing?" I asks him when I saw something is glowing in his chest.   

"A necklace." He said and remove it from his neck and showed me.

"Wow! A glowing star!" I said and stared at it, full of amazement. I reached out my hand but realizing that it is not appropriate, I stop.

He saw what I did and for the first time, he smiled.

I could not help but stare at him. He was so handsome.

"You can take it." I blink and shook my head, feeling shy.

"No! No! No! It seems too precious!" I declined though I want it.

"It is. But you save my life." He said and grab my hand. He turned me around swiftly like I was light as a feather and put it on me.

I smiled and touched it before facing him.

"Thank you! I like it a lot, Your Highness!" I beamed which made him smile again.

"With that, you can do whatever you like under my protection. I'll make sure that no one will hurt you. As long as you show that, you'll be treated like a princess like what you have dreamed." I smiled softly and ruffled his hair.

"Brother, I can call you that right?"

"If I said no, will you listen?" He sarcastically asks.

"No!" He raised his eyebrow and shook his head.

"But this is not your country!"

"Then come with me." He seriously said while looking at me in the eyes.

I was stunned however, I want to go. I want to escape from this country.
