Chapter 24 - Chapter 23: MY Prince

He only smiles at her his eyes went on her cheek, it's a bit red. The more he stare at it the more it's getting seen.

"Who slapped you?" He asked and that made her hold his hands to remove them from her cheeks but he didn't budge. "Stop, I'm asking you, who did this to you?"

"It's-"

*Door Opens*

"My Prince?"

Both of them turned to look at the princess who suddenly open the door.

Once The Princess saw Yumeko, "What are you doing with my prince? You even looked ay him!"

Prince Ethan immediately grabs the princess away from hurting her. "No, Nami. Don't ever lay your hands on her."

Princess Nami yanked his hands away.

"Why won't I? You two almost kissed, My Prince! I am the one you love right?" She said, raising her voice due to her anger.

Yumeko has lost her belief..

"Tell me, I am the one right? Or I'm going to tell the king about this. You choose." Prince Ethan don't like what she said.

He holds yumeko behind him. "This isn't you, Nami. You turned into an obsessive person. I'm starting to unlike who you are."

Princess Nami clenched her fists.

"Don't forget that I was the reason why my father liked you for being with me even though you are just like her the first time we met." he continued.

Yumeko frowns..

'What? Like me?' her thoughts ate her.

"You are like the first time i met yumeko, we thought you are an intruder. Be glad that i loved you that time."

"So what are you saying just now, Prince?! That, you like her?" She walks towards the prince and cups his cheeks. "But what about me.. are you going to leave me because of her?"

As much as Yumeko hate this kind of scene in real life but she can't do anything since she's the one who's at its place.

Her hand slipped out of Prince Ethan's hand and that made him look at her.

A sad smile appears on her face.

"Um, I like your Prince, Your Highness. But, i don't want to put the prince in the risk so i.."

His eyes were telling her something but she just blinked it off. "I think what I'm feeling was just an admiration. It will vanish soon."

Prince Ethan just stood there, Not wanting to understand what she meant, He doesn't want her also to forget what she feels towards him since he is starting to like her back.

The Princess intertwines her hand with the prince. Yumeko eyed it with her emotionless eyes that hides a pure sadness.

"Very well, In that case, Stop discussing him about the Math Problem, I'll handle it. And as for you, Go to where Prince Jake—Ah!" she cut her words when she fell on the floor because the prince pushed her.

The look on his face isn't a joke.. It can kill someone in one snap if he wants to. The Princess feared him.

"I've had enough of this, Nami. You became a princess because of me and I am going to undo that sh*t i did back then." he stepped towards her as she steps back, hitting the shelves. "Never tell her what to do. You are a Princess but you are still powerless without my name."

Prince Ethan pulled yumeko out of the library with him holding her hands as they walk away from there hand on hand.

This feels surreal.. She never thought that the prince she likes from the start will like her back also.

-

It's already Midnight and she doesn't even know why the prince called her but still she did come.

It is in their secret place, where he brought her in the wide grass land.

Walking there alone. She saw him at the top of the Treehouse, staring at her from up there. "Come up here."

She did go up there, climbing those ladders. It is a bit scary but since the prince hand out his hand, she grabs it.

Seeing the view from up there is super relaxing. "Woah." Looking at the moon staring at the both of them, It's big and it was like it's just in front of them.

Prince Ethan watches her while smiling. He grabs her hand and she turned to him, only to get surprised by his sudden kiss.

They kissed for a few seconds before parting away, she blinks for a few times as he chuckled.

"What does it feel kissing a Prince, Yumeko?" he asked and pulls her body towards him.

"It feels great, My Prince." he even smiles more when he mentioned that before turning to kiss her again under the watch of the moon.
