I have always been like this, causing trouble everywhere, even on my life's first date.
For the first time, I tried to get closer to a boy my age but in the end, I blow up the whole date with my temper.
[Alisa had told me to control and yet I did it.]
Finn is the 2nd prince of Divine Sword Kingdom but in status, I am in a higher standing as his kingdom comes under my empire.
We both met in the Grandmaster mechanics workshop for the first time and we both had different reasons for being there. He wanted to upgrade his carriage comforts and I was there for my first day of apprenticeship.
The day seemed to be fated as we both became friends.
And now after two years, I had made my first move to improve and develop our relationship into something more than just a friend.
[If only that waitress had taken her matters outside of the restaurant we would not have been in this predicament.]
The waitress was cheating on her husband with one of the members of his adventure party. The man came fully drunk with his other friend to our table when she was serving our order, he argued with her which caused quite an irritation.
When he was about to hit her I used a low 'mana pulse' to push the man which soon escalated into a fight.
Finn and I soon realized that we both are not a match for these veteran adventurers so we tried to escape and this is the result.
~sigh~[Why this is happening? ]
I thought as I started walking through the dark alley behind the restaurant. I saw a couple of people here and there but didn't interact with them.
[It's good that I casted concealment magic on both of us.]
Soon I turned to look back as a large food carriage arrived at the restaurant's back entry. I instinctively hide behind a wall.
"Man, today's delivery is going to be a long one" the driver in black clothes said.
"yeah, let's quickly load the supplies and check the condition of the carriage, I had heard some krick sound when we crossed the farm."
"Okay"
The air felt off in there so I silently left from there.
But after walking for a few moments I heard some noise.
"No~pl~please"
[What was that?]
I become alert as I heard a woman's voice, the voice was low and sounded forced.
My innocent mind said not to go but my heart was set on helping the woman in trouble. So I walk slowly and stealthily as possible towards the voice, it was coming from a narrow and dark alley connected to the alley I was passing.
"Mmm~um~"
"No~not~not~hereee~"
The sounds grew louder as I got closer, I slowly peaked from beside the wall and the scene left me stunned.
[They are ... se... ]
*****
I don't know what got onto me after witnessing that which led me to escape the long alley in 1 minute.
I headed straight to the academy and after half an hour when it was evening, I arrived at the academy where I found Alisa my maid standing at the entrance and explained to her the whole incident.
"I see so you both got separated, no problem your highness I will send some guards for a search right away" I nodded in confirmation.
[Hum... my concealment magic wore off, I need to practice harder to increase the time limit.]
Thinking that I started heading towards the girl's dormitory but Alisa stopped me and said.
"I think you should wait till Prince Finn's arrival, it will make a good impression on him of you I think"
Her words made me blush a little as I lowered my head in shame.
[I am being inconsiderate of him.]
I nodded to her and sat on the stone bench near the entrance of the academy with Alisa standing near me.
"Thank you for the advice Alisa or I might have disgraced myself in front of him"
"It is a part of my duty to advise and support you, your Highness. So no need to thank me for it" she replied.
After that, she offered me some water and snacks with tea which I accepted.
Soon Rachel arrived, Finn's maid. She bowed and then enquired about her master to which Alisa explained the situation.
[I always get the feeling that she doesn't like me.]
"Your Highness!! " Rachel shouted which brought our attention to Finn who was coming towards us as if jogging in the park.
I couldn't help but have a good look at his muscular body from his tight clothes fabric. His olive skin tone, his light blond hair, his light purple eyes and not to mention his clean jawline.
[Oh god I might already be...]
I stood up to approach him, But before I could say anything Rachel jump in and started inspecting him from head to toe.
"Are you okay your highness? Do you got any injuries or ... "
"I am fine Rachel. Don't worry." he said cutting her off.
Just as Rachel started making weird faces I spoke.
"Finn, I am glad that you are fine and I apologize for the inconvenience I caused you"
"No don't apologize your highness it's not your fault, they should have taken their matter outside from the start" he said in reply.
I slowly neared him when some foul odour assaulted my nose.
[What is this smell? It's so gross]
Before I could reach a conclusion Rachel spoke up.
"Your Highness must be exhausted so let's call it a day and head to the dormitory to rest"
"Yes, you are right Miss Rachel" Alisa agreed
The whole sudden decision to head to the dorms was taken without our opinion in haste.
*****
In the academy, Noble students get their personal dorms, while commoners get shared dorms if they are not a priority students. And above them, the royals and imperials like me and Finn, get even more privileges and priorities. Hence I got a luxurious dorm with 5 servants allowed.
Submerged in the hot bath I recalled the whole day in my mind. Remembering in the dark alley a man and a woman were being wildly intimate, I dipped my face into the water while holding my legs with my both arms I blushed.
[Is it really as intense as I saw in there?]
I instinctively touched my lower abdomen as I felt something.
"Your Highness, towel is ready" sudden words of Alisa broke my stupor.
"Yes, after dinner prepare 'gramophone' I want to listen to some piano music" I said as she agreed.
"Yes, Your Highness"
