Chapter 28

"Don't try to hide yourself. I know very well that it is you." He said.

"But how? How did you understand?" I asked surprisingly.

"Your disguise is so good. No one can realize you. But I can. I can recognize you by looking at your eyes." He said looking at me.

"So, what is going on? I saw you with Prince Frank. Are you planning to kill him?" He asked.

"No!" I got shocked.

"He is with me." I said.

"Listen to me. Don't trust him. He is your enemy." He said angrily.

"No, he is not. He is helping me." I said.

"Aniya listen to me. Look, your father trusted his father. But he killed your father. What if Prince Frank wants to do the same. He won't betray his father." He said.

"He will. Because his father betrayed him too." I said.

"I didn't get it. What does it mean?" He asked confusingly. I told him everything. I also told him about Master Qing.

"Oh! So it's the matter. Hmm.... Hey Aniya, let me help you. I can help you to get revenge. Besides my soldiers can join you too. We can also tell about this to Jessica and Josh. How is my idea?" His idea was good. Jessica and Josh was twin. They are our friends too. The four of us were always together.

"Hmm... Not that bad. But is it okay to tell them?" I was nervous about telling them about me. Because I don't believe anyone now.

"Of course silly. We are your best friends. When we got the news of your family and you, we were very upset. Jessica really cried for you. You know that she is so emotional." He said.

"I also missed you guys. But I am afraid of your parents. What If they tell King George about me?" I asked nervously.

"Hm.. That's right. It means we can't tell anything to our parents. But how do we use my soldiers then? I need permission first." He said thinking.

"No problem Paul. I am glad that you thought to help me." I said.

"Oh, don't tell this. I'm your friend at all." He said smiling.

"Hey Aniya, can you come to my Palace tomorrow?" He asked. I think for a while.

"Maybe... Or maybe not." I said thinking.

"If you can, then come to my Palace tomorrow in the afternoon." He said.

"OK. See you then." I said and we left the place. But we can see each other in the party. I was really happy to see him. At least, I found another person who cares about me. But Prince Frank suddenly started to ignore me. I didn't understand anything. Is it because he is with his friends? We came back to the Palace at 12 am.

"I'm going back to my room." We were in his room.

"Who was that boy?" He asked glaring at me.

"Um... Which boy?" I asked nervously. Is he asking about Paul?

"The boy you were talking to in secret." He said annoyingly.

"Oh! That's Paul, my school friend. Why? What's wrong with it?" I asked him.

"Nah.... Nothing. Why do I have problem?" He said looking away from me.

"Are you getting jealous?" I asked jokingly.

"Wh.... Why should I be jealous?" He asked nervously looking at me.

"Who knows?" I went closer to him and placed my hands on his chest.

"Anyways, what did he say?" He asked blushing and took away his eyes from mine.

"Nothing so special. He just wants to help me." I said brushing my finger on his hair.

"Oh! I forgot to tell. Paul asked me to visit his Palace tomorrow." I said moving away from him.

"Again Paul. So what did you answer to him?" He asked glaring at me.

"I didn't give him any surety. He said to go there tomorrow at the afternoon." I said.

"Do you want to go there?" He asked.

"I'm planning so. Maybe I should go there tomorrow." I said.

"As you wish." He said.

"OK then, good night." I said and made my way to the door.

"You are going?" I looked back at him and nodded.

"It's already so late." I said.

"Do you have anything to say?" I asked, he looked nervously at me.

"Umm.... Actually... It's Christmas today and." He said nervously, looking at the ground.

"Yeah I know it. So what?" I asked.

"Actually I have a gift for you." He said nervously giving me a pink packet.

"What is this?" I asked surprisingly.

"See by yourself." I took the packet and slowly opened it. When I saw the gift I really shocked and impressed. I couldn't move my eyes from it. I became speechless.

"Did you like it?" He asked. It was a gorgeous party dress. The dress was blue and it had black design on it. The dress also had some black roses in the hand sides.

"It's beautiful." I said shockingly.

"Wear it." He said.

"Huh?!"

"I said you to wear it." He said.

"Now?" I asked surprisingly.

"Hm" He nodded.

"But..."

"Nothing is wrong with it. Just go to the bathroom and change it. If you want you can change here. I won't mind." He said jokingly.

"Don't make fun with me." I said and went to the bathroom. I changed my dress and looked at the mirror of the bathroom. I untied my hair and went out. Prince Frank was sitting on the bed. Seeing me, he stood up and looked surprisingly at me.

"Umm... How am I looking?" I asked nervously. He went closer to me and slowly brushed his finger on my cheek.

"You are looking awful." He said moving away from me and laughing.

"What?!" I became angry at his joke.

"Ask yourself. Look at the mirror. And answer me how are you looking." He said taking me in front of the mirror.

"How is it?" He asked.

"Yeah good." I said looking at the mirror.

"I'm not asking about you silly. I'm asking that I am looking great with you or not." He said.
