Duri
“Is there a problem,, My prince?” The young lady asked, obviously looking perplexed.
“No. But I wish to see your mother, please. Let me in”, I told her and she seemed hesitant a little.
“I’ll….I’ll need to inform her about it, my prince. Please, wait here”.
“I’ve got no time to waste” I said bluntly and notified she flinched a little.
“O…Okay,,my prince. Please, come in” she bowed and opened the door wider for me to go in.
I walked in and ran my eyes around,,observing the place. It was a smug little house,,but looked comfy anyway.
“She’s in the room. I’ll go get her, my prince. Please, have a seat”, she said politely and walked away,,probably going to get the mum.
I remained standing for a while, looking around and finally, I took a seat. Some footsteps were heard soon and I tuned to see the lady walking in with the older woman. Wow! She looked a bit old and had to use the lady’s support.
“Prince Duri in my house?” She asked as she climbed down the stairs to the room.
Duri only looked at her but didn’t say a word.
“My prince…” The older woman called as she got close enough and took a seat in front of him.
“Good evening, Mrs Kathleen” I showed some respect.
“Good evening, my prince. I must say..it’s a great honor to have you here in my house today. Its been years since I last saw you. You were just a kid then” she chuckled lightly.
Her daughter stood behind her.
“How’s your father, the King?” She further asked.
“He’s doing perfectly fine,Mrs Kathleen”.
“Oh! That’s good to hear, my prince. That’s good. Your father’s a great King”. She paused and smiled.
“Please, don’t misconstrue me, my prince. I am indeed, very happy to have you here. But in as much as I’m happy, I’m curious as well. What brings you to my place, my prince? This is actually the First time in years a member of the royal family is coming to pay me a visit”. She said and I adjusted properly on my seat.
“Actually Mrs Kathleen”, I cleared my throat a bit.
“We have a lot to talk about.
“I heard you served under my father – during the time of the disciples”,,
Her brows arched at that.
“Well..yes. I was actually the one in charge of the children” she confirmed.
Perfect.
“Okay, Mrs Kathleen. I have a few questions to ask about the disciples”. I told her and she hummed and leaned back on her seat.
“Indeed….I can see we have a lot to talk about” she mumbled and turned to her daughter.
“Please, Seo, get tge prince and i something to drink”.

Despite the fact I felt so nervous, this was actually the first time I was having a meal as rich as this.
Like…Oh My God! It awesome. Check out the quality, the meats, the wine…These people are damn so lucky, huh? So lucky.
Prince Nathan was multi – tasking the whole time, eating and operating his phone. He’d kept receiving calls non stop and I wondered if he ever gets time for himself. It was so alarming.
By the time we were done eating, it was almost 4 p.m. and I figured we had to go into the experiments already.
“Thank you so much, my prince,,for the meal” I told him before standing up.
“Oh. Its nothing. You’re welcome”, his eyes were on his phone as he replied.
Not wanting to rush him,,I went alone to the experimental table and opened my bag on,,bringing out my manual.
Okay…today’s experiment was to be on copper and nitric acid.
I looked at the items on the table to b sure everything needed was present and..yes. The Prince had really done a great job in providing all the materials.
I brought out my book and pen and drew my table and just then, the prince left the dining and walked towards me.
“Oh…I’ll clear the table. Give me a few….”
“Don’t worry about it. The maids will take care of them”, he held my wrist and prevented me from leaving
Oops.
I bowed and returned to my stand in front of the contest table
“So..what do we have today?” He asked like he completely had no idea
“It’s um…copper and Burton acid, my prince”, I answered.
“Okay. And this should be the last experiment, right?”
“Yes, my prince”,,
Following the instructions in the manual, we set out to work.
I turned in the necessary elements into the conical flask and as I did the reading, prince Nathan did the writing. In less than an hour, we were done.
“Is that it?” He asked when I told him we were done.
“Yss, my prince. I um…I’ll just sum up the values now” I replied and took a seat, ready to calculate with my book.
That’s calculations took me quite a number of time and I could tell…the prince’s eyes were on me. G©sh!
“Hopefully, My Prince, we should be able to get the same values tomorrow in school during the presentation, because if we don’t, it means everything we did here was a waste of time” I told him as I rounded up the calculations in the book.
“But for now,” I still continued talking.
“We’re done and hopefully, we should emerge winners in school. I just hope the values corresponds”.
I still didn’t hear a thing from him and being being curious, I decided to have a look.
I lifted my eyes and found him staring at me – coldly.
Huh?
His face were expressionless and his eyes glued on me.
“My…My prince?” I called, wondering if there was something wrong.
And finally, he asked:
“Why didn’t you tell me you were the lady I was looking for?”
