Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13: The Mysterious Lady

PRINCE HARRITH's POV

Its been 3 days since I had my last arithmetic class.

" Goodmorning Prince Harrith. I will be your knew Arithmetic Professor, I am Professor Nichael."

I stood up and greeted my knew professor. What happen to professor Kingstone.?

" Where is professor Kingstone.?" I asked him.

" Forgive me Prince Harrith but I am clueless about his well being. Yesterday I was called and informed that I will be teaching a prince. I did not expect it will be you, the second Prince."

I can see excitement and enthusiasm in his eyes. But what happen to professor Kingstones. It doesn't feel right. I did not remember anything happened. The last time I saw him was when we were discussing about the history.

" Prince Harrith, should we start now?"

" Yes, we should. "

He started teaching me in where we left 3 days ago. After my class I went for a little break and went to the garden. As I walk around the garden I noticed a pair of woman shoes laying on the grass. I walk towards the shoes to see if there is someone in that area but I did not see anyone. Did someone from the Royal family left this. But that would be impossible. None of my Father's concubine in there right mind to lived there belongings here. And beside the shoes isn't broken as well.

Then the wind suddenly becomes strong that made me smell something sweet. A very light touch, a sweet scent of a perfume. I followed the sweet smell and I end up seeing a blonde lady sleeping peacefully under this sacred tree.

I didn't know what to do. She is sleeping like a cat, she doesn't care about her surroundings. Doesn't she have things to do. The way she dress seems like she came from a noble family.

" U-uuuhhhhhhhmmmmm….L-lady?."

She did not open her eyes. Wait is she dead?. I check her nose if there is air. I felt relieve when I felt an air in her nose.

" Lady….. Lady….. Lady….. Lady…"

She is in deep sleep. I still have a class. I can't leave her like that. I use my coat with the crest of the Richards before I leave, in that way no one will dare touch her or do anything bad to her. I will be back as soon as my class is over.

" It is not like you Prince Harrith to be late. "

" I went to the garden. Shall we start now."

All throughout my classes I kept thinking about the Noble Lady lazying under the sacred tree. She seem to be carefree at her age. Maybe she is in her late 20's. My mind is occupied of her sleeping image.

When I return to the sacred tree she is no longer there. I waited until the sun down but the Noble Lady did not return. Tomorrow is Saturday I don't have classes.

When I went back to my room I saw my mother sitting while having her tea.

" Oh!" My mother stand up upon seeing me. She walks towards me and hug me.

" It's been a while my son. How long has it been?" I did nit expect mother to be here.

" 9 months. " I coldly replied. Her face frowned with my coldness. She immediately loosen her hug and went back to the table and drink her tea.

" Well I guess you are doing great in the palace. Make sure not to messed up. Our family needs the support of the Richards and your role is to be the crown prince. I heard that you had a talk with the king last month. What did you talk about? Did the king Favour you now?"

I can not believe this. She visited me just to check what happened last month. I clench my pissed with irritation.

" We did not discuss anything important. The king just praise me with the project I succeeded that all nothing special."

" Why don't you sit here. Let's have a talk. Just like what you said it's been 9 months."

" I still have things to do. I am doing some research so I will take my leave now. "

" Wait…. How dare you leave me like this.."

I close the door and I heard her scream my name on top of her lungs. She came here because of my status as the prince but not because I am her child. I learn to despise my mother. I went back to the laboratory and saw Dr. Allen. He was shock when he saw me enter the room.

" What seems to be the reason you are here Prince Harrith?" He asked me and then continue doing his research.

I did not say a thing but instead I took a book and read at the corner.

" Did you had your dinner Prince Harrith?"

" No, I still haven't had my dinner."

" It's already passed the dinner time. What is the reason you missed your dinner?"

I did not response to his question. It may sound rude but the good thing being born as the Royal family is that they can not force you to speak or give an answer.

I stayed at the laboratory until morning. When I look at the clock I did not notice it was passed 6am. I stood up and look at Dr. Allen who is know writing some notes.

" I will take my leave. Thank you for letting me stay in here Dr. Allen."

" It's my pleasure Prince Harrith that you find my laboratory peaceful."

I went back to my room and my handmaiden was shock seeing me. She prepares everything and when I'm done I went back to the sacred tree. I used the path way yesterday and when I saw a shoes laying on the ground again it gives me hope that the lady is in the sacred tree. I run faster and saw her sitting under the tree reading the book I once read before. Her hair glows like the brightest sun her eyes are the brightest like the emerald. Her skin is as pale as the snow. She is a goddess.

I stop in front of her and she look at me. She gave me the purest smile. I can see her mana colour it is brighter than her indicating she is a good person.

" Have a sit young man" she tap the space next to him. For the very first time I could not speak. Not because I do not want to speak but because I am stunned by her beauty.
