At exactly nine in the morning the prince chauffeur with a sports car is already parking in her grandpa's carpark. She had no intention

to impress the prince, she wore white maong pants, a dark blue striped tshirt and a white closed shoes. The prince offered a hand to help her out of the car when she arrive at the palace hall.

" You look gorgeous", he whisper in her ear she's glad she had sprayed her favorite perfume because she had no idea he will attempt to be close to her. She notice the people around them looking in their direction.

" Hmm! playing gentleman? or just showing off?", she thought, most of the ladies attended the polo match wore elegant formal clothes, most of them were beautiful. She yawned while watching, the prince beside her notice.

" Are you bored?", he asked politely.

" Honestly, yes! I do not understand why do they have to ride horses while playing golf, they made their life complicated", she commented.

The prince laughed at her comment, he enjoy looking at her annoyed expression while watching the game.Everybody were excitedly cheering while watching, but she find the game boring.

" I love your honesty, just like the duke you're so brutally frank when there is something you don't like", the prince told her.

" I often heard my mom say I need to be honest in whatever I do," Lira said.

" What are the things you enjoy?", the prince asked her.

" I have nothing in particular except my favorite sport, volleyball" Lira said.

" Wow, that's a strong ballgame, that's why you had muscular torso, you seemed very strong with a nice butt", the prince commented.

" What?", she felt as though she was harassed by his words.

" No I don't meant it as an insult, I meant it as a compliment", the prince explained.

" Oh please! I don't want to shame you, please stop being insolent", Lira warned the prince.

" Lira let me remind you in this country I can say what I want, you have no right to challenge me", the prince warn her in return.

" I wanna go home now, can you send me back to my grandpa's house?", she asked the prince.

" No! you are my date for today, you have to accompany me to all the activities I have for today. You can go home if I tell you to go", the prince proudly said. She wanted to slap his proud face, but she know that will create a big chaos, a fiasco which will be dangerous for her dad and grandpa.. She felt as though she's a robot just following the prince whereever he go,she smile when she was asked and shake hands when necessary.

Late after dinner the prince send her home, she was very glad when she arrived home.

" Thank you for the wonderful day" the prince whispered in her ear as he plastered a light kiss on her cheek. She's a bit shocked of such action, but too late to avoid it. The next day, her uncle with Andrei drove her back to her father's house. She had promised to her grandfather that she will be back to stay with him before her flight back home.

" You have a date with prince Patrick?", her dad asked her.

" Yes dad", she admitted.

" Come watch the news on television", her father said.

She was staring at herself in television while the newscaster talk about the new found love of the prince. She is very shocked as she listen to the news, she's not even aware that there is a camera rolling infront of her.

" In fairness you're such a telegenic, you're very beautiful in the television", her Aunt Martha commented.

" They were all lies, I am not his new love, he just asked me to escort him while watching polo match in the palace hall nothing serious about itl ", Lira explained.

" Lira, I want you to know that if the prince wants you to be his wife, there's nothing we can do but to grant his wishes", her dad said.

" Dad, I'm only seventeen, too young to be a wife", she told her dad.

" Even sixteen is a legal age for marriage specially for the future king of Yunisha ", her dad said.

" Oh my God, dad, can I go back home to mama?", Lira said.

" When would you like to go home?", her dad asked.

" How about tomorrow ?", Lira asked.

" Okay, I will booked a flight for you tomorrow", her dad promised.

" Thanks dad!", she said. She called her mom to inform her of her coming home the next day. Her mom is very happy because she said she missed her already.

She also called her grandpa that she had decided to go home as soon as possible because things is getting complicated without

her liking.

Her grandpa understand her, he just wish her to be able to go home to her mom safely. She had chosen an early morning flight so she will also arrive home early the next day. Her mom is already waiting for her at the airport when airplane unload the passengers.

She chatted excitedly to her mom about her grandpa and uncle,the same way with her little cousin and her uncle's wife.

" I'm glad you're finally back", her coach said when she decided to join their practice.

" Now that you're back, we're more confident", one of her teammate said.

" Of course I don't beleive you guys, I know you're all good, we'll never be here if you're not", she told them.

" That's what we miss! your encouragement to the whole team", her teammates said.
