5 - Is He Real?

Two days had passed and she her first day on work has started.

Contrary to her expectations the boss was a good person. And it was the same person whom they met before. She thought that it would be some presumptious and arrogant noble like she often met in social circles before.

But who would have thought that she was actually a commoner who just become lucky in life after taking the risk from a loaning bussiness.

Her first day was rather exciting than tiring. She was warmly accepted by the crews escpecially Gemma ofcourse.

And the customers were surprisingly well behaved and would only look at her with amusement.

But Gemma explained that the bar were different ofcourse since it was a den of lustful peoples. She had heard a lot about () since it was popular as a punishment for servants that were sold to prostitution.

The situation made Persias troubling mind at ease. She thought that she would really suffer a lot. She was suddenly abandoned and thrown like some piece of trash in an unfamiliar place who was well known for its poverty.

She was raised without a mother and only by the guidance of her strict tutors and servants. Her mother died at an early age so she was not able to meet her.

Her father whom she only met once in a blue moon was cold to her.

And its a good thing that she has a doting brother. A sis con.

And Persia was well known as a spoiled brat princess. Its true and not.

She can spend and buy anything she want but was stricted to go in any places except the Imperial palace whom she always went because of her fiance the crowned prince.

She is also restricted from moving carefree. She always watch her behavior and pose or else she will be scolded greatly.

She is also restricted from meeting anyone without a further meeting arrangement such as tea party. But she can always meet her fiance.

It was all suffocating not until she met Darylle.

She fell inlove.

And that love turn to be a possessive and obsessive.

She hated anyone being close to him.

And who would have thought that it will bring her to where she is now.

"How was it?" Gemma asked as they walk together towards the direction of their home.

"Not bad" Persia replied smiling.

'Its easier than being a crowned princess' She wanted to say but only kept it in mind.

"Ive requested the madam to set your restday the same as mine and she permitted it Shes really a good person isnt she?"

"Yes. I did not expected it"

"Do you have someone with you?" Persia asked curiously since she havent yet get over there.

"I only have my younger brother You know he is really a reliable and good kid. My father passed away when were young and mother died two years ago"

"Im sorry for youre loss"

"Thank you Im glad that i have my brother bymyside" Gemma smiled.

"Have a dinner with us so you can meet him"

"yes I would love to".

A young boy around ten years old greeted them. He was shy to see a beautiful lady akin to a fairy that he heard from the fairytails his mother told her.

The young boy prepared the meal and they all sat together in the square shaped table.

They shared mashed potato and boiled chicken for dinner.

"Whats your name?" Persia asked the young boy who were shy at her presence.

"Im Glen" He replied shyly as his deep dimples showed as he smiled.

Glen has a lot of chicken that he was able to sell. He is already bussinessminded despite his age. And even though they would eat chicken everyday they wont grow tire or loss appetite on it since Chicken was so delicious. Whether it was boiled, fried or even roasted!

"Glen is such a good boy" Persia praised after hearing how reliable the kid really was. The boy was blushing from embarassment.

Persia wave her goodbye as she hold the lamp that they lend since it was already dark.

She reach her little house safe and sound but Her windows were opened and there was a light inside.

Her eyebrow furrowed.'Someome was inside!'

"She slowly walk towards the door but it was suddenly opened that she almost drop the lamp.

"eek!"

A pair of oceanic blue eyes were staring down at her angrily.She rub her eyes using the her other hand.

But it was still the same color.

"Darylle?" She asked hesitantly.

"What took you so long? It was already dark." He said angrily.

"..!"

It was indeed Darylle! But howcome?

Is she somewhat hallucinating because she is tired?

Her gaze landed on the black hair on the table.

"Its a wig i bought from a weird merchant and also the eye changing thing which he called contactlens" He said knowing that the woman was curious and confused. She flinch when there was a still a voice suddenly spoke.

Her mind was suddenly flooded with thoughts.

'Is he here to take my life?'

'Is he here to revenge for hurting that woman?'

She didnt realize the face that she was making that made Darylle frowned. Her body was already shaking in fear.

"hah" Darrylle sighed and hugged her trembling body that flinched at his sudden contact.

"Finally I can have you all bymyself" He whispered in hear that brought shiver down her spine.

"wha- why are you here?" She asked hesitantly. Her heart was beating so fast that she doesnt know whether its because she was afraid or nervous. Or just excited to see her love.

Her body was stiff not knowing how to react. He was still hugging her.

"I am here to take you back ofcourse" He said as his head was still burrowed in her shoulders.

"But i am already a commoner now and i am no longer the crowned princess" Persia said in a low voice. She was confused at the mans action. Why is he hugging her as if they were an intimate couple?

"The people know that we are both in a vacation. Dont take it at heart what the Emperor had said He only want you learn youre lesson since you already crossed your boundaries -as if i pay mind unto it."

"..!"

"Dont hate the Emperor He still dotes on you He just want you to be the proper mother of the Empire"

'Is he for real?'

She doesnt know what to say. Her mind was already blank.

"What took you so long? What if something happened to you I will never forgive myself" He said tightening their embrace.

"Our food is already cold" He continued realising that the other objects besides the wig under the table was actually the food that he prepared for both of them.
