I got to the cafe. I went in and saw someone I didn't want to see. That person is Cam.
"C-CAM?!!!?!?!?!?" I said.
"Yes. It is I. Your brother." Cam said loud for everyone to hear.
"Cam, shush. Follow me and don't say a word." I said as I left.
Cam just nodded and followed me.
We got to my spot.
"What are you doing here?"
"Like I mouthed to you that night. I've been looking for you."
"Everyone is looking for me. Aunt Ri is looking for me. I think that she knows that it's me. Although I go with the name Aph, no one really sees's the semblance of my name. I like being a normal person, not being royalty. I finally have a normal life. I don't have to worry about anything or anyone. All I have to do is protect my kingdom, the prince, and the villagers."
"Oh. So, you don't want to come back and the queen?"
"No. Even if I did mom and dad would already have an arranged marriage for me. I don't get it, why not you?"
"I don't know. Maybe because they're worried about your "non-existing" love life."
"Maybe. Anyways why did you keep your word?"
"Because I'm worried about my sister?"
"Is that the only reason?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss."
"Cam, what's the other reason?"
"Mother and father are worried about you. Sophie's worried. Your crush is worried about you. Everyone is worried about you."
"I know. Tell them that I'm fine."
"Ok. Oh by the way, can I stay at your place for tonight?"
"Sure. I live in the guard tower, but I'm the only one. If you open the door when I'm asleep or gone, you'll die."
"Ok. Geez. So, I hear that you got invited to the ball. Who, in all people, would invite you?"
"The Prince. That's who. Why do people keep on asking me that?"
"What?"
"Yea. You shocked?"
"Yes. The Prince, from Broken Shield, the one that YOU'RE supposed to marry."
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Yes and no. You have to wear a fancy dress. So, do you like him now?"
"Yea, well my dress won't be that fancy. I don't know anymore."
"Ok? Wow, Aph wow."
"I know. Anyways, I'm going to head home. Wanna follow or are ya gonna look around?"
"I'mma follow you."
"Ok," I said as I walked to my house.
Cam followed me. We got to my house. I unlocked my door and walked in. Cam also came inside.
"You can sleep on my couch," I said as I went to my room.
"Ok. What are you going to do?" He asked as he sat down.
"I'm going to go and write something," I replied as I went into my room.
"Ok. I'mma just take a nap."
"Ok."
A while later. Cam was asleep. I'm out walking around the village because I got finished with writing a thing.
While I was walking around, I noticed that they started decorating the plaza for the ball. I was to focus on the plaza that I bumped into someone.
"I'M SO SORRY!!!" I yelled.
"It's fine, Aph," Someone said.
That voice. It's Prince Xzan, I thought and said, "Ok. I got distracted by the plaza that I wasn't watching where I was going and I'm sorry."
"It's fine, Aph. I know. Anyways, I asked my parents if you had to wear a fancy dress and you don't have to if you don't want too."
"Ok. The dress that I picked out isn't really too fancy"
"Ok. Oh. Who was the person who was looking for you?"
"My brother, Rebel, was wondering where I've been because he got back from guard training. I don't know why my ma or pa didn't tell him that I moved out," I said. I had to lie to him because I didn't want him to find out that I'm Princess Aphmeow, the one who was supposed to marry him.
"Oh? Ok. I gotta get going home. Bye," He said as he got up and left.
"Bye," I said as I went to the cafe to get something to eat and drink.
Right as I got to the cafe, it starting to storm. Hopefully, Xzan got back to the castle in time.
"Hey, Amy~Kun," I said as I walked up to the counter.
"Hey, Aph~Chan~Nya," Amy~Kun said.
"How was your day?"
"It was going bad, and then the guy, who was looking for you, came in and made it better~Nya."
"Ok."
"Yea. Anyways, what do you want? ~Nya"
"Can I get a chai tea and a sandwich. I don't care what kind of sandwich it is."
"Ok. So, about that guy that was looking for you. He single?~Nya"
"AMY~KUN!!! WHY!!"
"Because he was kinda cute.~Nya"
"Amy~Kun, no. He is single."
"Ok. ~Nya. Sorry,~Nya. I'll get your order.~Nya" She said as she got Aph's drink and food ready.
"Ok. It's fine. Anyways, you wouldn't want to marry royalty because he's Prince Cam."
"WH-WHAT!!????~NYA THEN WHY WAS HE LOOKING FOR YOU?~NYA"
"A reason that I'll tell you after you closed and promise me you won't tell anyone."
"Ok.~Nya. Here's your order~Nya" She said as she handed it to me.
"Ok. Thanks, Amy~Kun," I said as I started to eat.
After a while later, Amy~Kun had closed the cafe.
"The reason why Prince Cam is looking for me is that I'm the runaway princess. When I was running away, he saw me and mouthed that after everything had cooled down that he would come and find me."
"Oh?~Nya. So, you're Princess Aphmeow?~Nya"
"Yep. Please don't tell anyone."
"Ok~Nya, I won't~Nya."
"Good. Don't even tell the Prince."
"You should get home before Cam starts to worry about you."
"Ok. I'm going to get going not because you told me to. It's because I have to wake up really early. Bye, Amy~Kun." I said as I waved bye to her and left.
"Bye, Aph~Chan," Amy~Kun said as she locked up and left to go to her house.
While I was walking to the guard station, I saw something in the corner of my eyes. As a guard, I need to protect my people. So, I went to check out what it was. As I got closer it went started to walk in the other direction. At this point in time I'm tired, so I started to run to get closer to it. When I did that, it run further away. It was shaped like a person. It was wearing a cloak. I was still running after them. I didn't have my sword with me, but I do know how to fight with my fists.
A while later. I was still chasing after it. We were now in the forest or well it seemed like the forest. I'm still tired even when I was runing. I need to see what it was so I know what it was. I needed to know if it was safe. If it wasn't going to hurt my people.
It had stopped and disappeared. I stopped to look for it and I couldn't find. I headed back to the guard tower/station, wents to my bed, and falls asleep.
