I'm frozen, frozen.... this guy knows how to get a person to shut up doesn't he... I shouldn't have made another deal with him, I should've known better... just by looking at him you can tell that he is a person of high status... I haven't had the best luck with this type of people....
"Why would I tell you who I am for just a stupid antidote?" I say, my face blank, the guy looks at me as if he were analyzing me, "Well for one, that cut is going to take a long time, and you're probably going to faint without your healing skills, second I don't think you want to stay here locked up with a cut when the mortals come back."
'Damn this guy, it's like if he could read my mind, but I won't give in that easily', "Sorry I don't give my identity to strangers, especially to those who stab me" I smirk, he's probably going to run away, there's no way he would tell me his identity that easily... right...
He looks at me with his frosty eyes piercing my skin... I on the other hand, stand there with a blank face as if nothing ever happened... the guy wouldn't be stupid enough to tell me his name.... but I stand corrected.... once again.
He smiles, and I for one don't like it when he smiles... it gives me goosebumps... "Well you are right, a person shouldn't give a stranger their name... but it's proper etiquette if they are meeting one another... My name is Aaron, I come from the heaven realm and I would love to get to know each other."
As I said 'I stand corrected once again'. I stand there my mouth agape, suddenly images of my past start to surface in my memory, there was one that stood out, and then I realized who he was.... 'Oh No' he's the first prince of the heaven realm, the next heir, and one of the few people that can defeat me.
I zone out... Aaron the first prince, one of the few people that are able to defeat me, what are the chances that I would meet another royal... I scoff... I never really had good luck with the royal family... ever since my last fiancé betrayed me with the help of my stepmother and her daughter... he used me and then threw me away just like garbage, I close my hand tightly and turn it into a fist, piercing my skin with my nails... I didn't notice, but 'Aaron' seemed to notice that blood was running down my arm and onto the floor.
He looks at me with curiosity, "Miss, your hand is bleeding" he says, I return to my senses and unclench my hand, I look at the small cuts made by my nails, but I feel nothing.
"Well it seems that you recognized me, hence the reaction" he says. I look at him and nonchalantly say "What kind of immortal would I be if I didn't recognize the name of the first prince of the heavenly realm" I guess me knowing who he was shocked him, because he was stunned for a second before relaxing again.
"You know you're quite popular in the heavenly realm, at least you were back then, before you know, you disappeared" I say, but my mind keeps going back onto those hurtful memories... 'Snap out of it Hazel, you shouldn't care about that anymore, it doesn't matter who he is, what matters is keeping yourself away from all the trouble' I think to myself.
"Anyways 'Aaron' or should I say your highness, I wouldn't love to meet you or get to know you, as I said a while back, I am not going back to the heavenly realm and that's a fact," well he's at least quite now I think...
"You must be someone from a very influential family to know who I really am, Miss..." He says, and I freeze for a second, "You must have a grudge against someone from a high status, hence your reaction to my introduction," what the heck, is he a detective or something, can he read my mind, it feels like he can read me like an open book.
"Miss... May I add something to our deal" he says, I look at him with a raised eyebrow!signaling him to go on, "If you tell me who you are and come with me, I will not only give you the antidote to the cut, but I will also help you get back at the people who you have grudge against, and trust me on this, I will keep you safe against all those who wish to harm you..."
That's not a bad deal, I don't really need his help, but having sick a powerful backer like him, is not a bad idea... but should I really go back and face all of those bastards...
'Hmph' whatever I like his deal, I shall go with him, but I'll make sure to keep lesser information about myself from him.
"I like your deal your highness, I must admit the revenge part got me hooked... Welp since you insist on helping me and greeting me home, I accept your proposal, I Hazel will accompany you and accept your help against those who go against us... nice to work with you... your highness" I say with a nonchalant smile and bland eyes, as I raise my hand to seal the deal, and just before he was about o grasp it, I swear that I saw a smirk and a mischievous glint creep up onto his mouth and eyes, making me shiver...
Did I make the right decision...? Should I put my trust onto a royal once again?, who knows what the future holds, but what I'm sure of, is that this is going to be an interesting adventure... I think while shaking the prince hand with a very simple smile.
