He dragged me up to the garden and stopped in front of my room near the flat concrete stone. He stayed silent but he's still holding my hand. I can feel him gripping my hand gently.
I know he has a problem about his family. The way they ignored him in front of the king and queen was not just a simple conflict between them.
I have this urge to ask him but I remain silent. I know he will tell me but not now. I can wait for him to become open to me and tell his problem.
I've been bothered after my dance rehearsal, I can feel that he's hiding something from me after that. But I didn't ask because I respect his decision to keep it.
But would I remain silent until now?
I stood in front of him and cup his face with my palm. He look at me emotionless. My heart melt with his stare, I know this is not just a simple problem and I can feel that he's not ready yet to share it with me, but at least I'll try.
"My Prince..." He remain silent and steady. My eyes started to water.
"You can tell me, I will do my best to help you." My tears starts to fall from my eyes, I can't just stay like nothing to him. He help me when I need him. He had been there for me to make me feel that I'm not lonely. He's always there from the time I woke up in this world and help me to cope things up. This time I want him to feel wanted and loved. That I'm always here for him too.
I felt his hands on my face and wipe my tears. When I looked up, I just felt his kissed on my forehead before his arms coil around my waist to embraced me.
"I love you my Princess, always remember that." My heart fluttered.
"I love you too my Prince... I'm always here for you." I put my arms around his neck and gave him a smack kiss. I saw his eyes soften and gave me his warmest smile.
Even though he's my fiancee, I can't still guarantee it. It feels like anytime now, something will make us apart. I shook my head. I'm overthinking again.
Tomorrow will be the day for my dance presentation but there's still half a day to end this day.
I grinned.
I think I know how to spend that!
I look at him and saw his forehead wrinkled. I know he has a hint right now of what I'm thinking.
"I know how to lighten your mood my Prince." I didn't wait for his response because I started to walk and I am the one whose dragging him this time! But not to talk about anything but to make happy memories!
"Let's head to the town my Prince!"
We didn't have any trouble to exit from the castle. Because first, I'm with Prince Shone to be with me and we didn't change our clothes, we still wear our dress. But I don't care, we don't have enough time to change. Prince Shone can't protest and decline my requests.
We head to the town, we visited almost all of the food stalls. Every time we stopped in a certain food stall, they're looking at us like a missing couple because of our outfit. But we just shrug it away. We didn't visit any store for dresses but other than that.
We even went to the part of town where games and gambling are open. My Prince didn't protest but he make sure that I won't join. I've been pouting at him for stopping me.
Our next stop is shop of an old lady with weird outfit. She has different statue on her shop, it looks colourful yet creepy in my eyes. She has a long white hair and I she has a sharp eyes or should I say to us?
I think this is what we call in realm as furtune teller. She has a short table provided for her visitors.
She's sitting opposite of the table. I have the urge not to get inside her stall but part of me want to try her skills if it works on me.
I grip his hands on mine and gathered my courage to get inside. Even though I saw how Prince Shone shook his head to stop me.
I just laugh at him and dragged him.
"Come on this is just for fun." I told him. He had no choice but to walk with me.
When we went in, I feel the intense stare of the fortune teller to us. There are still so many people outside but I feel isolated in her shop.
I just ignore it and sit oposite to her with Prince Shone by my side.
"Give me your hand." I heard from fortune teller. I was hesitant at first and look at Prince Shone, when he gave me an approval look, I slowly extend my hand for the fortune teller.
She's still having those sharp eyes on us and l feel the creep all over my body when she grab my hand. My other hand was still holding by Prince Shone for me and helps to calm me.
I saw how the fortune teller's eyes went bigger yet look scared and sharp on us at the same time.
I suddenly widraw my hand from her.
"W-what did you saw?" I don't know but I feel nervous.
"Lucky soul from the other side, but a resentment and harted will consume your poor soul. Let your immense love prevail young lady. Your journey will just begin." She's whispering but enough for us to hear it.
Resentment? Harted?
"What do you mean?" I'm confused. What did she mean by other side? Did she know about where I came from? If yes, then maybe she can help me to go back to the realm. Hopes overwhelmed me.
I'm struggling if I will ask her directly in front of Prince Shone or not. If ever he will know, he might hate me for lying and owning this body who is originally not mine.
If only, I can ask her privately.
"It's been long years since the last successor, I didn't expect it to came from the other side." I confusely look at Prince Shone. But he remain silent and calm. I wonder what he's thinking.
"What?" I don't really get it. Successor? Did she mean someone beside me? I can't recall myself being a successor even in realm. If I'm Princess Viona, maybe there's a chance because she's a princess, a successor of their kingdom but me as myself? I don't thing so.
"The inheritor of the the four elem-." She didn't finished it when Prince Shone suddenly stood and left a 10 gold coins as an exchanged. He took my hand and dragged me out of the shop.
I can't say anything because of his sudden movement. He just keep on walking while holding my hand.
