CHAPTER 17
“I had no where else to run to and since the palace was not that far from the market, I decided it had be better I run here instead.”she answered
“Who did you know here at the palace?”he smirked at her
“You”she replied
“What if you called and I didn’t pick up?”he asked again
“I’ll let them do their job then,”she shrugged nonchalantly
“What job??”he inquired, quite curious
“I will let them have their way, bet they are chasing after me to kill me.
So, I will just surrender and die with a st..abbed heart of not meeting my cute babies have been dreaming to have with my dream prince.”she smiled brightly, hugging herself tight.
“Now they have backed off right?,they are no longer on your trail?”he questioned
“Uhm yeah, I think so”she nodded looking around them
“Am off then….”he toned, and starts to walk away immediately
“Wait prince….!”she ran after him trying to make him stop
“Prince Myles, the hoodlums might come after me anytime??”she called out to him again and that’s when he stopped
He snapped his head to look at her,” Myles? like seriously??”
She stopped chasing after him and nodded
“Yes, I think I love the name Myles instead. Prince Luciano holds much power and authority while your other name Myles sounds more friendly…..I like it,”she whined, twirling on her feets
“I see, it’s late at night Sabrina so you should go home”he said after shaking his head
“Am scared,”she pouted babyishly
He closed his eyes frustratedly and breathed in and out a long breathe
“How about a guard following you? it’s not that late, the guard will be able to find his way back”he told her
“Can I spend the night here please, plus my legs hurts pretty bad from the chasing. I might just collapse anytime soon,”she pleased, rubbing her palms together
“Here?, you mean at the palace??”he was taken aback by her sudden outburst
“I promise I will leave as soon as it’s dawn, please prince,,,”she took steps closer to him and wanted to take his hand in hers
But he stepped back before she could
“How about your parent? you have a possessive brother, remember…..?”he has his arms crossed over his chest as he tried to refresh her memory
“They will surely do without me for tonight. Just a night of not seeing me is better than for eternity, I might try to go back home but meets death on the way”she said reasoning out
“Fine then, we have got many rooms to spare”he finally agreed
What if he let her go back home just because of his unwillingness to let her spend the night at the palace and she get klled on the way?
Forever will he blame himself and cry to bed all nights
“Really, thanks”she squirmed, excitedly
He just nodded and led the way, she took only one steps after him and stopped
“I’ll catch up with you before you reach the gate prince Myles, I need to get my pen from there….”she pointed behind her at the corner she had jumped on him
“Okay,”he nodded and continued his walk
Seeing he doesn’t seem bothered by her petty excuse, she ran back to the corner and took short strides until she was behind a tree
“Yayyy, hello Anita!”she waved at the human inside the pit
Anita looker up at her with a vicious deadly glare, she’s been struggling to get out of the pit to no avail
“You red-headed woodpecker!,”Anita groaned out through gritted teeth.
