LOVE

Chapter 14

Muriel blushed and shyly said

"Of losing you..."

Luca eyes were so wide because he was surprised to hear it directly from Muriel and its not even a sleep talk. Muriel then realizes what she said and immediately pushes Luca away from her.

"O..Of..Of course as a FRIEND."

***Sht! What am I doing??? He's still a human!! I don't want to fall in love with humans!!"

Luca's face looked a little bit sad and said

"Oh... Yeah... You're right. As a Friend."

Muriel saw his reaction and wanted to take back what she said but Luca suddenly stood up.

"I'll just call Emy so she could bandage your cut."

Luca immediately left. Muriel then covered her mouth because she can't believe how luca reacted.

***Does he actually feel the same way as I do?" ***

[The Next Morning...]

A soldier horns a trumpet outside their house.

"Make Way!! Prince Nathan Nether, The Official Crown Prince of Nether is coming!!"

Everyone inside the house came out to watch except for Luca. Muriel was curious but Jay and Emy bowed down.

"Hey Emy why are you guys bowing down? He's just visiting me like normal right?"

Jay then pushes Muriel's head down and explains

"It's an official visit if soldiers are present and is horning that Nether Trumpet."

"Oh What's up with an official visit?"

"He's here for a serious business."

Nathan then arrived in front of them and gave flowers to Muriel. Luca saw it in his window.

"As the crown prince of Country Nether "

Nathan then kneel down and offer flowers to Muriel and said

"I prince Nathan Nether invites Muriel to be my lady in the upcoming ball"

Muriel was curious and said

"What ball?"

"Well, there's a banquet after the modeling event that we will attend... So, I kinda hope you will be my lady on that night."

"Oh, I see... Hmmm..."

Nathan notice that Muriel is still thinking.

"I'll provide your dress so don't stress yourself of thinking what to wear."

"OH? Reallyyyy??"

"Yep!"

Muriel then received his flowers and said

"Okay! I'll be your lady then."

Luca saw that Muriel received the flowers and was so happy. He then closed the curtain of his window and laid down in his bed.

***Damn it!!!***

***She's happy with that guy??***

***Does she love that guy???****

*** Then why did she kiss me?? WHYYY????!!!****

[Castle of Nether]

"Sister Hannah!"

Nathan run towards Hannah's room excitedly and opened the door without knocking.

"Oh Nathan? You're home already? How did it go?"

"Muriel said Yes. Hehe She will be my lady in the ball."

Nathan smiled so happily.

"Oh? Great! Good for you Nathan. Treat her well okay?"

"Of course, Sister! What about you? Did you ask luca out already? I heard he's home now."

Hannah smiled like a girl who fall in love for the first time.

"Ye...Yeah... He already said yes... I talked to him before he got home."

"Oh? Did you convince him to come home?"

"Sort of. So, don't you ever do that again okay!! You should not judge people base on their gender, beliefs or even physical looks just so you could take advantage of Muriel! Got that?"

Nathan was ashamed from what he did back then and said

"Yes Sister, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to. I promise it won't happen again."

"Good!"

Nathan then notice that her sister is dressing up quite gorgeous.

"Are you going somewhere sister?"

"Yep! I'll ask Luca out to look for something that we should wear on that night."

"EHHHH??? But we royalties just ask the designers to come here and make all outfits that we want, right?"

"Ye...Yeahh...."

"Then are you perhaps----"

Hannah blush and immediately shouted.

"Oh, just shut up already Nathan! It's just an excuse okay?! I want to date him of course! You, stupid brother."

Nathan laughed so hard and said

"Now that's good sister. You're beginning to be honest about your feelings."

"Stop it already you're so annoying."

"Fine fine... Anyways I'll come with you too."

"WHAT?! Are you gonna make me a baby sitter while on a date?"

"Are you insane?! Of course, I'll ask Muriel out too! So, it's a double date."

"OH! GOSH! You made me worry for nothing."

"And I'm not a baby anymore sister!!"

"Hahahahaha"

The two of them left the castle and immediately visited Luca and Muriel.

[Muriel's House]

Emy saw that Princess Hannah is coming and Prince Nathan is also here again. She immediately opens the door to receive the guests.

"He...Hello Princess Hannah and Hello Again Prince Nathan. Come in"

"Hi there! You're Emy right?"

Prince Nathan and Princess Hannah get inside the house and Emy guide them towards the living room then nervously said

"Ye..Yeah... It's such an honor to talk to you your highness."

"Don't be so formal to me Emy, just call me Sister Hannah from now on, got that?"

Emy got tense from what she heard.

"E..Eh??? How could that be? I...I can't afford to do that."

"Oh? --- Is that so? hehehe Sorry, the kids from the slums are calling me sister Hannah, and they even call luca as their brother luca... I was just hoping you could do the same for me since you also call luca as brother."

"Oh, come on sister Hannah, don't push the kid too hard. You're scaring her. Hahaha"

"Fine, fine... Anyway, Is Luca here Emy?"

"Yes princess, Brother Luca is here."

The three of them came in the living room and saw that Muriel and Jay is watching TV.

"Oh? Nathan you're here again?"

Nathan immediately sat down beside Muriel.

"Yeah. Sister Hannah wanted to invite Luca to look for dress to wear in the ball, so I was hoping we could go along with them too. What do you think?"

"Oh! That's a nice idea! Is it okay to you princess Hannah?"

"Yeah sure no problem Muriel!"

Emy then excused herself to call Luca in his room.

Meanwhile...

[Luca's Room]

Luca is seriously reading a book that has a title "10 Things to know that a girl is in love. *

**Who the hell made this book is this even for real??***

***If that fish is smiling like crazy to any guy who will give her dresses then does it mean she's a two timer? Three-timer? Or even four???****

He then reads another book titled "How to make a girl fall in love with you for real" but Emy suddenly knock the door.

"Brother Luca, Princess Hannah is here. She's looking for you."

He then got up and went to the living room with Emy. As soon as Luca came, Princess Hannah immediately stood up and smiled so happily.

"Hi Luca!"

"Hello Hannah, what brought you here?"

"Well, you're my escort in the upcoming ball, right? Don't you remember your promise before you came home here?"

Muriel heard the conversation and it's as if Luca only came back home just because he was convinced by this girl and not because of her. Luca then remembered the promise he made and said

"Oh yeah! I remember."

"Great! I actually came here to invite you to look for our outfits for the ball. Are you busy right now?"

"No, I'm not."

Muriel suddenly sulk a little bit because after the incident in the kitchen, Luca never came out in his room and just kept on saying that he's busy. Nathan then stood up.

"May I ask you Mr. Luca if it's okay that me and Muriel will come along with you guys? She's my lady in that ball too and I guess having my sister as a commentator in whatever she wore will be a great thing for her."

"Yeah sure, No problem."

"Great! Then let's get going, then shall we?"

Nathan offered his hands to assist Muriel in getting up. Muriel then grab his hand but her eyes suddenly saw that Hannah immediately hold on to Luca's arms and it feels like Hannah is intentionally tried to let her breast touch Luca's biceps.

***Arg! This b*tch! ***

Both of them immediately got into the royal carriage and Muriel still can't help staring at Princess Hannah who still didn't let go of Luca's arms.

***Why am I even angry that this girl is so clingy to him? ***

Muriel then looked outside the window and reminisce the incident in the kitchen.

***If I didn't say "As friends" that time.... ***

***Am I perhaps be the one who sat beside him and be clingy today?***
