7 Prince

this place is neither cold nor hot, it feels so warm stroking my skin. I felt so sleepy, until I had no intention of opening my eyes at all ... it felt so comfortable, and wanted to sleep again. I lay down on smooth grass that It's not pierced, this fragrant ... am I in the meadow right now?

during this time I lived in a city full of pollution and the sky that forced me to see skyscrapers. I want to see it, even though I can see the meadowa once.

is it the same as Grandma's garden? I Miss my grandma.

"Why are you crying, miss?" ah, that voice? someone? I haven't felt anyone here, had he been here before me? before I want to get up or even open my eyes, he spontaneously restrains me and closes my eyes with his hands.

"Sstt just rest here, I know you're tired, Lyra." he said in a soft voice, H-How!

"How did You know my name?! You must be a stalker that like those two human before!" I shout at him and tried to let go of his hand, but I didn't move a single of his finger. The Hell!

"ouhh ~ those are rude words, Lyra. even though I really admire you." it makes me even more convinced that you are a stalker!, "Stop this! and let go of me!"

"No, Miss." he said, " What the-"

"if I do that, you won't be able to go back." what did he say? " as prince Adriel said, the light will eat your soul." he continued.

S-So I die-

"No, you haven't died yet." A thin wind blows beside my body, "How can a God be died so easily." he giggled.

"i'm not a God or anything that you guys called me." I intterupted, "So stop saying that your life is in my hand. It's sucks."

he chuckled, "How can a God called his job, sucks." Does he think my words just joking?

"I don't think your words are a joke." he suddenly said things like that made me think of one thing, "are you read my mind? you pervert!"

"ah, is that what you think? that I can read your mind?" he laughed again, "you're silly." si-silly?!

"I can't read mind. that's just this place bring out all the truth in you. Your feeling, your mind even your dream that you hide in lie, this place just make you more honest of yourself."

honest? so I've been lying to myself all this time?

"You're not lying, Lyra. you just don't tell the truth, instead of telling the truth you say things that are harder to think about, even for yourself. all this time you just make it look easy, do it by pretending,"

"You are not dishonest, you just don't have the confidence to reveal the truth." he stroked my hair slowly, this should make me uncomfortable .. but, instead I feel comfortable?

he began to hum, and the birds chirped. hearing the sound of leaves colliding with each other made me realize that right now I was lying under a tree.

"am I death?" I said spontaneously, "What? of course not." he chuckled, "or maybe.. not yet." he continued

"NOT YET?!" Suddenly I jumped, but his hand held me back making my nose squeeze, " wouww~ easy Tiger, like I said, this place is not for living people. if you are careless, the word 'not yet' will become already"

"what are you?! a ghost? or aliens or something that will distroy this world?!!?" my hands felt around trying to find an item that I could use to hit it.

"why you thinking about me like a villain? I don't have a grudge against this world to do that and even if I did, it would not have any benefit for me." his voice sounded heavy, as if he felt I was accusing him with a phrase that made him hurt. "I can't tell you who I am right now, but.." his breath felt on my cheek, "one day we will surely meet, Miss Uri."

I want to avoid him immediately, but my body ... I can't control my body. I just kept quite in his lap and felt the wind gusts that seemed to make my body lighter.

but it feels TIGHT!!

I can't breathe, my body feels like it's wrapped in something big and strong. my eyes slowly opened and my eyes found prince Adirel was hugging me tightly. am I dreaming again?

at before, I was in the lap of a man -if what I listened to, he sounded like a man- . and now I'm in the arms of someone who is handsome even though he is impudent! after I go home I'll show it off to Gio.

wait! what?! he hug me??! Has he just been possessed by an angel?!

"Adriel..?" damn it! why is my voice like a dying person who wants to die. his head immediately lifted and our eyes met, "y-you awake?" then he hugged me again, "haah ~ thank goodness.." and he even gave thanks instead of insulting me with cursing?!

"what happened?" my head suddenly became heavier and hurt. I'm not strong enough to hold the burden of my own brain ?! after the dream, did I get smarter because my brain was enlarged? hah, don't think something stupid Lyra.

BRAKK!!

"your highness!!" Evan saw me who was currently leaning my head on Adirel's shoulder, "Miss Uri?!"

"Evan, can you stop yelling?" he glanced at Evan, "it's disturbing." Evan was surprised and immediately bowed towards Adriel, "I'm truly sorry for the mistakes I have made, Your Majesty."

"and.. Sorry for my impoliteness, but ..." Evan raised his head and raised one of his eyebrows, "do you want to stay like that until noon?"

"what are you talking ab-!!"

"wuaaa!!"

without a single warning, Adriel threw me like trash with a look of disbelief, disgust and shame at the same time. "why are you hugging me?!" he pointed at me.

"for the sake of the monkey's butt! I will never hug you," I pointed him back, " you are the one who suddenly hug me first!!"

"Why can I hugged a creature like you?!" he stood up and looked away while tidying his robe. "do you feel yourself better than me, hah!? You insolent prince!" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"what you saying?" he glared at me, of course I didn't want to lose. I glared back to him. "I said that you are Insolent Prince." I say by emphasizing my voice every word.

"can you repeat that again?" he frowned terrifying while smirk like a villain at me. "What? that you are an i-m-p-e-r-t-i-n-e-n-t prince?" what for I am afraid of his evil face that looks handsome.

"I admit that you're really sucks God." several veins in his head throbbed while glaring at me, "so what? I'm the one you said the god who sucks, is the person who created you." for the second time I pointed right at his face. "YOU!-"

"ex-excuse me, prince? Miss?"

"What?!!"we said together while looking at Evan who saw us with face full of fear.

""I have something to tell you," he swallowed, "and that's related to Miss Uri." he looked at me and was followed by prince Adriel. "what related?" Prince Adriel Asked.

"When I checked the magic detectors around the kingdom, there wasn't anything strange. I memorized all the magic from the workers here, but ..." he shook his head, "I didn't feel Miss Uri's magic, or I could say that Miss Uri has no magic at all in her."

"What ?! That can't be happening. How can a living person..." he glances at me, "has no magic at all?"

what's with that expression, like just seeing a ghost. Is it really that bad if someone doesn't have magic at all? but why did they argue like that. I saw Adriel questioning the truth of Evan's words before, and Evan always have that same answered to him. if you think about it it's only natural, because I really don't come from this world.

"how can I believe that what you said is true?!" prince Adriel yelled at Evan, indeed it seemed that his bad attitude had to be removed far far away. "is living together with your majesty for more than 15 years is not enough?" he looked at Prince Adriel annoyed.

"B-But ... not having magic is the same as-" I patted the Prince on the shoulder, "Why are you arguing like that, stop it." I snorted in annoyance, "Isn't it natural, that I who come from a different world from you guys don't have magic at all? In my place, magic and everything related to it is only a myth."

instead of calming down, prince Adriel turned and held my shoulder with sweat dripping, "do you still not understand what is meant by not having magic at all?" I shook my head.

"if a living person is not detected by any magic within him, then he doesn't have a soul at all or I could say that, you're just a lifeless body."

they both watched me as if through my head, I know they were surprised, but well don't be like this either. "Listen, I told you that in my place that magic is not real, and again I am in a different world. According to me it is a natural thing." I said it loud to break this unpleasant silence.

"Even so-" Evan suddenly patted Adriel on the shoulder, "maybe Miss Uri is right, Your Honor. If he doesn't have magic in his world" Evan looked at me with his silver eyes, "then the absence of magic in his body could actually happen, prince."

Adriel once again looked at me worriedly, I knew that if there was no magic in someone's body it would be very bad, but what exactly was magic in their eyes? I am curious.

"What does magic look like in this world? As far as I can remember, I only gave a word by writing that it seemed to facilitate your daily work. The rest I do not know, because I didn't describe magic in this world in such a complicated way." I explained to them. because remembering that I described this place because I was inspired by many fantasy anime that I watched.

"Because I only wrote a few words in my book," or I can say that a book that went into the pool several times, fell in the mud until it became a substitute for an umbrella when I got home from school, well, the tragic life for that old book.

"Well, you could say that magic in the world is like an important part of one's body. Because of that, the power of magic also depends on the condition of the body itself." Evan explained, "magic itself cannot be seen by ordinary eyes, but it can be felt. Everything we can do from small rights such as breathing to running, it all comes from magic in that person's body." he continued.

"That's why, someone who has not detected magic power in his body is impossible," Adriel looked at me, "unless the body is dead."

ouhh ~ i got it! This magic is like a soul that supports every human body. a source of eternal energy, and if it dies then the body will die too, that's what I got from the words of Evan and the impudent prince.

"Oh, if from what I get from your explanation, the magic you mean is the same as the definition of the soul that makes every human life." I say with very high confidence, because I feel no different from them.

"Soul? Can it also start a fire?" Evan asked innocently, for some reason it made the pulse on my forehead twitch in annoyance. keep your patience down, Lyraa ... inhale ... exhale..

"Ah, of course not. The soul gives life to the body, and because the body lives, humans can do many things like breathing, and others. But the soul does not produce magic and use it like you do, instead we use the mind to make many things that make our work easier. " I explained.

Adriel looked at me lightly, "why does your world look so lame?"

"HAH ?! W-What did you just say ?!" first was Evan's innocence that made me want to curl his head, then now insult Adriel who wanted to make me kick his shin! why is there no one in their right mind from people in this world ?!

Do I have to say it out loud that I made this world because I am fed up with the real world ?! but that will knock my pride even deeper!

"So ..." Evan's voice broke the hatred-staring contest I did with Adriel. Evan's hand that did not stop taking notes on his little book, who knows where it came from, reminded me that the silver-eyed man always noted things that he thought were important and had to be remembered. "The existence of magic in this world is the same as the existence of a soul in your world huh, miss?" he then raised his head to see me full of questions.

"Oh yeah, maybe like that." I said doubtfully, "Got it." he then went back to writing in his little book, even though actually I wasn't sure what I was talking about. but, yeah whatever.

instead of focusing on the many questions Evan Asked to me, the piercing on my shoulder distracted me more. Adriel looks at me sharply over my shoulder, damn it! what else does he want now ?!

"What?!" I snapped as soon as I looked back. "You should know," he crossed his arms as if I knew the meaning of his gaze, and obviously I didn't care what he thought.

"Er ... Evan, what do you know about your book?" Evan had not had time to answer me, Adriel pulled my hand and then held my shoulders as if he wanted my gaze to only be directed towards him.

both eyebrows frowned in annoyance. fangs that appear between his lips as if they can absorb my blood until they run out. ah, her red eyes .. look lit between hair as black as the night. I can not believe the story that I did not finish, there are people who are so handsome like him ..

he gripped my shoulders so that his long fingers seemed to pierce through my collarbone.

"Why don't you ever pay attention to me ?!" he emphasized his voice, "to me!" then pointing to his chest, as if he was the person he meant by his words. what's wrong with this person?

a prince should be calm and think things over with an open head, instead of yelling, cursing and acting childish like this, I did praise his face but his attitude was really far from my expectations.
