Who is Oliver Miles?

Once they've reached faculty of meds, most of the girls' students there were squealing in excitement seeing the Crown Prince visiting their faculty. "Omg, last time we got Prince Lucas and today we got the Crown Prince!" said one of the girls in the crowd and captured a photo of them.

*Too much attention* thought Lily as she take a look around hoping that Oliver won't be here today. While both of them were standing at the counter looking at the menu, most of the girls were squealing seeing how cute they are. "What would you like to have?" asked Ren. "Usually I just grab some tuna sandwich and head to the Art studio… their sandwich is the best." Said Lily.

"Really?" asked Ren and Lily nodded. "Could we have two tuna sandwich and one ice earl grey tea and one ice latte please?" ordered Lily.

"Sure miss, you may take a sit while we prepared the food for you." Said the cashier. Once they've said their thank you, both of them took a sit to wait for their food. The students were still there looking at them as if they are a celebrity. Ren who notice that Lily was feeling uncomfortable with the students taking their photos, he took her hands and caressed it gently.

"Don't mind them, you're with me, alright?" said Ren and Lily nodded. "Here, look." Said Ren as he showed her his phone a photo of her that he took just now.

"Ren, please delete that… it's embarrassing…" pouted Lily but Ren was having so much fun teasing her. "No I won't. You looked cute here, alright?" said Ren but Lily was still pouting. While they were having their small bickering, Lily heard a familiar voice from her back. Both of them looked towards her back and saw a man coming towards them. It was Oliver.

"Greetings, Your Highness, I'm Oliver Miles." Greeted Oliver as he held out his hand to handshake with Ren. Ren who was sitting there with Lily, stands up to handshake with him. *so this is Oliver* thought Ren. "greetings." Said Ren as he handshake with him.

"So Lily, never would I have thought that you really like to have your lunch here… or," said Oliver as he paused for a while. "You missed me?" asked Oliver. Ren who was there standing in jealousy, raised his eyebrows and looked at him as he clenched his jaw tightly. Trying to control himself for not punching him in front of the crowds.

"Oliver, stop. There's lot of people here and don't try to make some false assumption." Said Lily. "We're here just to get our lunch together." Said Lily loud enough for only both of them to hear. "I guess you're the one who have been chasing her all this time…" said Ren as he snickered.

"So, why? Wanna bring me to the Royal court just because I chase after her?" asked Oliver in annoyingly manner. Lily who was sitting in the middle of them, notice that both of them might got into an argument in any minute. "Okay you both, stop." Said Lily as she stands up. "We came here just to get some lunch. And Oliver, please stop. Just go away." Said Lily.

"You good at fencing?" asked Ren suddenly. *gosh what's with him today?!* thought Lily. "Come on, which guy came from noble family do not know how to fencing?" said Oliver. "Then meet me at the palace this weekend, we'll have a game." Said Ren suddenly.

*w-wait, what?* thought Lily as she take a look at Ren and she knows that he's being dead serious right now. "Well, okay then." Oliver agreed. Before he leaves, he went near Lily. "See you at the palace~" said Oliver playfully. Then, he was about to touch her hair but got stopped by Ren.

"You are forbid to touch the Royals." Said Ren in a cold manner as he grabbed his hand tightly no wanting Oliver to touch Lily. Lily who was there felt safe and warm when Ren mentioned her as one of the royal family tho they're not married yet, but she was touched by it. "Well, okay then. See ya." Said Oliver as he saluted them and left the café without giving Ren his bow not showing his respect towards him as the crown prince.

That night, before off to the dining hall to get his dinner with Lily and his mother, he had a small meeting with both Lucas and Augustin. "Have you got any information about him?" asked Ren towards Augustin. "Yes, your majesty. Here," said Augustin as he gave Ren the ipad.

Once Ren took the ipad, he begin to read the information that Augustin has found. "You've been searching about Oliver Miles? That guy?" asked Lucas and Ren nodded. "Nicholas, your jealousy over him is too much." Said Lucas as he laughed lightly at his cousin. However, Ren look so serious reading about him.

"Okay first, it's not just about jealousy. This guy is dangerous towards Lily." Said Ren as he slides down reading his family background on the ipad.

"Dangerous as in?" asked Lucas and raised his eyebrows and was quite curious about what Ren was about to say. "Don't you feel he is way too familiar?" asked Ren. "Well, I guess he came from the noble family so his face is quite familiar…" answered Lucas with a shrug.

"Ha! Found it." said Ren. "What is it?" asked Lucas as he went near him. "He's the son of one of the Minister when your father was the King before." Answered Ren. "Who?" asked Lucas as he have no idea about it. He was thinking trying to remember some of the Ministers when his father was the ruler before. A few seconds later, he finally remember who was it.

"You mean Sir Miles Vincent?" asked Lucas and Ren nodded. "Wait. Is he still one of the ministers?" asked Lucas again. But Ren shook his head. "Currently no, Your Highness. But he has a business in property." Answered Augustin. "However, his business aren't going pretty well for the past few years… in addition, Sir Miles Vincent is a good friend with Sir Luis, Your Highness…" explained Augustin.

"Damn. Why everyone around us must involve with him?" said Lucas feeling annoyed. "They are really trying to bring us down Lucas. We need to be alert." Said Ren. "Is that all Augustin?" asked Ren as he put down the ipad on his table and brought his hands together, and let out a heavy sigh.

"Yes, Your Highness." Said Augustin.

"Then, we just need to dig more information about things that they've done and we just need to wait." Said Ren. as he close his eyes, thinking again. "You may leave Augustin. And please tell Lily I might be late for dinner." Said Ren. "Alright Your Highness." Bowed Augustin and let his study room.

"Wait, so what's with the fencing battle you have with that Oliver guy this weekend?" asked Lucas. "Is that just because you wanna show him who's engaged to Lily or…" said Lucas but Ren cut off his lines.

"Indeed. I wanna show him I was the one she's engaged with. Second, I wanna test him." said Ren and smiled in mischief.

-------------------

A few days later, weekend is finally here. Ren was in his study room reading some documents when suddenly, someone knocked the door. It was Lily. "Have you got your breakfast yet?" asked Lily. "Lily, im sorry for not having breakfast with you and mother. Augustin told me this documents are urgent and I need to sign it by today…" said Ren feeling sorry. "That's okay, I brought you some breakfast~" said Lily as she place the tray on his coffee table.

Ren who saw it, went near his coffee table and sat on the sofa. "Come on, stop with your work because breakfast is far more important." Said Lily as she pour the hot Earl Grey Tea on his teacup and gave it to him.

"Thank you very much, Lily." Smiled Ren as he took the teacup and take a sip on his favourite tea. "Do you perhaps think I could win today?" asked Ren suddenly. "Well, are you good in fencing?" asked Lily as she went near him and raised his eyebrows. "Sure I am. I've been playing fencing ever since I was kid~" answered Ren.

"Then I believe that you can win~" smiled Lily. "By the way, I thought you promise me you won't get jealous if you see Oliver~" teased Lily. "Well, I can't help. When I saw him trying to touch you the other day I just had to stop him." said Ren making Lily laugh feeling amused. "Then I shall change my clothes and meet you at the royal hall?" said Lily and Ren nodded. "I'll be sitting next to Lucas~" teased Lily again though she knows that Ren hates seeing her being near the playboy cousin of him, Lucas and Ren just shook his head knowing that Lily was teasing him.
