"My lady, have you come here again today?" inquires Ruby Palace's head maid, madam Gune.
Crystelle tilted her head.
' Why? Is he gone again today? "Every time I come here, he is never here!" complains Crystelle.
"I am sorry, my lady, but that boy always leaves at this time every day, so if you want to meet him, please come back this evening." said Madam Gune before returning to her work.
tomorrow evening?mumble Crystelle.
"Thank you for your information, Gune," smiled Crystelle, and then she turned her head back.
"He is never there every time I come to his palace." What in the world was he doing right now?
"Hmm...this isn't going to work!"I just have three days left, so I can't waste it again today! I need to know his secret! shout "Crystelle" in her heart.
Crystelle wandered around all of the palace while asking the whereabouts of the first prince.
"I don't know my lady."
"I don't think I know about it." I am sorry, Lady Soleil.
"Hmm, he always travels alone, so I doubt there is anyone who knows where he is going."
Crystelle sighs again. It's been the same answer everywhere Crystelle goes.
Crystelle, give up for now. "I suppose I'll go to the Ruby Palace this evening," Crystelle mumbled, disappointed.
' oh? Lady Crystelle," said Princess Larissa.
Crystelle turned her face toward Princess Larissa.
"Greetings, your highness," Crystelle says.
"You know, Lady Crystelle?" I've heard a rumour among the maids all over the palace. It was said that the first prince's soon-to-be fiancée, who was wandering around the palace, was desperate to learn more about him.They said she lookedThey said she looked just lio Soem. So here I was wondering iftrue,s true, and I immedcamey came to meet you to see what you're about, about, so the conclusion I've made is.e wandering around the palace desperately wanted to knew about him. she looks just like a stalker to them, they said so. so here I was wondering if it's true and I immediately comes to meet you to see what you're going about so the conclusion I've made.. why? Why was Lady Crystelle acting so strangely?"Ask princess Larissa with a smile."
Crystelle, shock.' A rumour among all the palace maids?!'
' Ah! It's not true! It's really not true! I just want to know where the first prince always goes because every time I come to see him, he's always gone from Ruby Palace. I am not a stalker! 'Really!' says Crystelle.
"Haha, don't worry, I've punished them because they dared to spread a rumour about a noble," said Princess Larissa.
Crystelle feels relief.
' So? You want to know where the first prince was headed to? Why don't you come and ask me, Lady Crystelle? "Ask princess Larissa."
Crystelle stunned.
' That right! Why don't I ask the princess first? What a waste of time! The princess, according to everyone, was the one who had been by his side since they were children!Why don't I think so earlier? Crystelle screamed in her head.
"Do you know where he is, your highness?" asks Crystelle.
Princess Larissa just smiled.
"Well, it's supposed to be a secret between us... but as his fiancee, I think you have a right to know."Princess Larissa stated.
Crystelle was fascinated by Princess Larissa again.
"What a beautiful angel!"dear god! "Please always keep this angel by my side forever!" thought Crystelle.
"Come here, Lady Crystelle."
Crystelle gets near Princess Larissa. Larissa whispers something in Crystelle's ear.
' What?'
"Is it true, your highness?" Crystelle questioned.
Look for him there."Every time he has a problem, he will go to that place," said Larissa.
Crystelle feels doubted, but it is not wrong to try.
"Thank you, princess." "I will head over there right now!" said Crystelle.
Princess Larissa sent Crystelle a stare. "Good luck, Lady Crystelle!" you exclaim.
Crystelle hurriedly heads to that place. She stops by the kitchen and takes a basket of snacks to act like she is going on a picnic.
"All right, here I go!"I hope it's true.
'Ouchh! it's hurt! Is there someone there? Please help me. I tripped by accident, and my knees are in excruciating pain!Help me, please! shout Crystelle. acting like she accidentally falls to get the first prince's attention.
"Please someone, it hurts too much!" "Ouch!" you yell at Crystelle once more.
Silence.
"Is it not true?" thought Crystelle. ' ouch! help! anybody?'
Still silence.
What the? The princess said he was here! What I intend to do nowget up like it was nothing? mumble Crystelle.
' nah! Let's wait for a moment. "I am sure there will be someone to come and help me," thought Crystelle positively.
After a half-hour wait.
Screw me! Let's just get up and act like it was nothing. The weather is so cold here in the evening. "At this rate, I will get sick and my day will get wasted again," thought Crystelle while slowly trying to get up.
"Ouch!" shouts Crystelle again, but this time it's for real.
"My leg got cramps because I was sitting too long." suppose I will wait here for a little longer." Crystelle mumble.
"Are you really hurt?" asks a voice from the back.
Crystelle freeze. He's appeared! He is really here! "Thanks, my angel!" cried Crystelle in her heart.
"Ehem, well, a little, just a little longer, and I can walk by myself," Crystelle replied to the first princely question that appeared out of nowhere.
Krik.. krik. A few moments later...
' Ermm.. I believe it will become less painful after a while, especially if you are busy, your highness, and you can return first by yourself.'Crystelle smiled politely toward the first prince.
I guess I will call it a day. "Just let me get out of this overbearing shame!" cries Crystelle in her head.
Does it really hurt?"I thought you were just acting," said the first prince.
Crystelle was speechless again.
' he know? wait! Wait a minute! He just stood there silently staring at me while I pretended to be hurt!"How rude!"
Crystelle sulk. 'whatever! I'm done trying to take over your heart!"You're really not a gentleman at all," said a mad Crystelle in her head.
It's alright. Please mind your own business, your highness. After all, it's my punishment for pretending to be hurt.sulk Crystelle.
Crystelle tried to get up again.
' ouch! It still hurts!mumble Crystelle.
"Is it really hurting?" inquires the boy once more.
Crystelle mad. "Can't you see it for yourself, your majesty?Just go and mind your own business. It's nothing more than a cramp...uwahh!
Crystelle was stunned and shocked.
The first prince held her and carried her like a princess! It's so sudden, and now she finds herself in the first prince's embrace.
Crystelle's body becomes stiff.
"Your, your highness?" Are you out of your mind?! If the maid sees this, they will start a rumor! Crystelle was furious as she struggled to get down.
The first prince smirked. ' rumor? like the one that said my future fiance was wandering around the palace just to get to know me? She was acting like a stalker toward me. 'I was wondering who that person is,' mocks the first prince.
Crystelle blushed. Her face has turned red. He was also aware of the rumor!I am ashamed! Crystelle was embarrassed and tried to hide her face in the chest of the first prince.
The first prince laughed hard.
'So cute,' he thought.
The first prince suddenly stopped his walk.
' eh? What I was thinking was the first prince.
Crystelle wondered. "Your prince?"
The first prince was taken aback.Ah! Ehem! "Well, if you really want to know about me, just ask me from now on," he said.
Crystelle stunned. ' really? really, really? "I can ask you, your highness!" exclaims Crystelle.
The first prince laughed. You can. "But there's something I've been thinking about all along," he said again.
Crystelle tilted her head. "What is it, your highness?" Crystelle inquires politely.
The first prince hesitated.
"Ermm... why don't you call me... by my name like you do with the other princes?" the first prince inquires.Because he was shy, his face turned red.
Crystelle stunned.
' What? How did you know what I call themcall them? Don't tell me... has the prince been following me around the palace these days?it's you! You're the one being a stalker! laughs at Crystelle with a mocking tone.
The first prince's face became more red.
"No, I am not!"I just happened to be there everytime you guys were talking! mad the first prince.
Crystelle didn't mind the first prince's madness and continued her talk. "Never mind, because you wanted to know why I don't call you by your name, it's because..."
The first prince just sat silent while Crystelle was talking. He seems lost in his thoughts.
"Ermm... the other day... you even seem so close with Atter," the first prince murmured in whispers.
"Pardon, your highness." Did you say something? "I can't hear what you said," said Crystelle.
It's nothing! "The first prince turned his head to cover his red face."
"What have I just spoken to?" thought the first prince.
"Like I said so earlier, that's why I don't call you by your name, your highness," explained Crystelle.
The first prince was stunned. "What?" and "Did you say something this whole time?" ask him.
Crystelle tilted her head. "Well, yeah?" I was answering your question before. Did you get lost in your thoughts while I was explaining everything, your highness? ask Crystelle.
"I am sorry," apologises the first prince.
Crystelle sigh. "What I said earlier was that the reason I don't call you by your name is simply because of me, your highness," said Crystelle.
The first prince felt weird. "Why is it that?" ask him.
Crystelle hesitates.
"I don't know your name, your highness."
The first prince was shocked and stopped his walk.
"Wait," exclaimed the first prince.
Crystelle shrugged her shoulders.
' hehe..'
