Chapter 5 - V. Dear Prince

The prince noticed that Misu was feeling rather uncomfortable and a lot of people were whispering awful thing about her so he decided to start a conversation to smooth things out "may I know your name M'lady?" The prince asked politely, for Misu to respond softly "it's Misu Ruin my prince", the prince smiled and said "I'm not your prince, you're a fairy, you serve the young queen Su-lanya","I actually don't" replied Misu "I wasn't born or raised in Selana but I'm yet to visit it someday", the prince was rather surprised "so you have been travelling for how long?" The prince asked for Misu to not answer but instead strike him with a question "have you ever seen an ancient creature?", the prince stared at Misu for a while and said "if I was thousands of years old i would say yes, they extinct a long time ago, you'll only see fossils, weird question to ask if you asked me","I saw one" Misu said eagerly, "you might've been daydreaming, it happens a lot to travellers" the prince responded, "I wasn't daydreaming" Misu said "you have to believe me, my intentions are good trust me, I'm only telling you that because you're not only the prince but also the electric master of devils, before I arrived here, I was chasing a flying ancient creature that was headed towards the Kingdom Of Hell, fortunately, the creature changed direction and went flying away","and how do you know that it was an ancient creature?" The prince demanded, Misu answered his question saying "because I have read and saw all the creatures illustrated in books, none have a similar shape to that creature, there's no illustrations for ancient creatures, or maybe I didn't find it yet unfortunately, but there's a lot of descriptions, ancient creatures are weird unhinged creatures, having multiple eyes on different and weird spot of their body and some of them look malformed and may have an extra set of arms or legs or even both, some even have more than one face".

The prince started to believe Misu a little bit, it sounded like she was telling the truth and he didn't find a reason for her to lie "I'll talk to my father about it later" the prince said "until then, let us go to a fine restaurant and continue our conversations while eating, you must be hungry".

Inside the restaurant Misu started talking and said "you didn't tell me your name prince","I thought you knew" the prince responded "I do" Misu replied "but I didn't want to be rude so I asked…I've read about you before, being one of the eight electric masters and also a prince must be hard, I have a question, Why is it called the Kingdom Of Hell? when it acts as a shelter for lost creatures who didn't find a place to belong to, why isn't called The Kingdom Of Hope?","I might consider that name when I become the king" Katalond responded, Katalond The Knight is the name of the prince of Hell and also the electric master of devils, Misu have read about him before in the history of electric masters, although he's still young, he's known to be one of the strongest electric masters of his era.

"So what brings you here in a times like this? Most people will assume that you're one of the greatest evil's army or something" Katalond asked "have anyone even saw the greatest evil? I mean, I travelled for quite some time and the only bizarre thing I saw was a flying ancient creature" Misu replied "I mean it's kinda hard to believe that one of the four masters have got insane and started spreading chaos on the kingdoms, but many say that they saw him indeed" Katalond responded.

While eating a frightened goblin entered the restaurant yelling "RUN!RUN!RUN!", Katalond laughed and stood up to see what's the problem, it appears one of the citizens has lot his temper and now is causing chaos, Katalond walked naturally to him, what a prince, he didn't make a big deal of it, he knocked the man quickly and asked the guards to take him to prison for harming people and destroying properties.

Misu was amazed by how calm and strong Katalond was, an ideal prince,"shall we start the tour?" Katalond asked with a warm smile, a beautiful and gentle smile with a soft and calm voice,"of course" Misu answered, and they did indeed start the tour, Katalond started dragging Misu to different spots of the kingdom, the rich, the poor and the normal, all kind of people, all kind of activities, such a kingdom that held everything all at once, intense training that creates mighty guards, high education for all creatures, except fairies, libraries, shops, restaurants, it was so loaded.

"Have you seen enough miss Misu?" Katalond asked politely for Misu to answer "I did indeed, thank you, what a wonderful kingdom it's, if only the hate for fairies was gone, maybe then I'll call it home and live here for the rest of my life", Misu was so bothered with the hatred against fairies in the kingdom, she felt the injustice of hating every single fairy even tho most of the fairies didn't harm anyone in any sort of way.

"I must apologise miss Misu" Katalond said,"for what?" Misu wondered "spending the day with you was lovely, but as a prince I have my duties towards the kingdom, I hope you understand" Katalond responded, Misu replied "I do understand, it's fine I'll just go visit the library","if something happened or you need me, don't hesitate to tell the guards, I'll inform them about you alright?" Katalond said with a serious expression on his face, Misu nodded and Katalond went walking away.

Misu is now alone in a kingdom that hates her kind, anxiety, uncomfort, fear, and many other bad feelings started to get to her, but she shake them off and walked towards the library.
