Christopher POV
The evening passed by and I didn't get much sleep because of the things that happened last night.
Thoughts of Alexa not accepting me kept on roaming around my mind. Would she still be there? Or would she have ran away after hearing about the truth. The truth which consists of a creature like me is her beloved.
Honestly, I myself don't even know what to do anymore. My beloved's a human, my mother is dead, and the wrath of the king is upon me. Well, just my luck!
The sun hasn't set up yet. So I prepared for the day.
After preparing, I quickly went out of my room and knocked at Alexa's door to check if she's still there.
No one was answering.
What if she has been able to return to her world? What if I'll never see her again.
Worry clouded my mind, like a dark cloud surrounding my sight.
This can't be. I can't let her go.
As thoughts of Alexa leaving me clouded my mind, I looked at my left side, and saw her standing with a confused face that made her so adorable and beautiful.
I went to her and hugged her thinking that she's still here, but my happiness didnt lasted long when she stepped on my right foot saying "How could you hug someone you've only met yesterday?"
I answered her But my dearest beloved we have already done it last night and if I could recall you loved it.
After saying that I truly regretted it because she yelled at me while trying to cover herself. "YOU PERVERT! How could you think of something so ridiculous and bothersome, and don't look at me that way!" She yelled.
I controlled myself from laughing when she said that to me, but luckily my uncle called us for breakfast.
Alexa walked fast, annoyed of the fact that my presence bothers her.
"Alexa, Christopher, I see that you're on good terms now." My uncle said.
We all sat down at the dining area and waited for the food to come.
"Oh yes, we are uncle." I agreed with him and looked at Alexa mischievously.
Alexa is fuming with anger. I don't know why, but getting her all riled up is really entertaining.
"So, what are your plans?" my uncle asked.
"Oh could I have a tour around the kingdom?" Alexa excitedly asked.
"I see that you're gaining interest. That's fine my dear, but you have to be careful. The mythical guards are on watch for any suspicious activities. Although I made sure that they couldn't enter my kingdom, you still have to watch out." my uncle said to Alexa.
It is true my uncle doesn't really allow anyone from the mythical kingdom to enter here. He is really cautious about those who enter his kingdom. Actually, the reason why I could go here whenever I want is not only because I'm worthy, but also because my uncle trusts me.
"I could take Alexa around." I suggested.
"No, you can't Christopher. We have some business to discuss to. Plus, when someone sees you outside they'll take you back to your father." my uncle seriously said.
"Meredith, you could tour Alexa around, whilst Christopher and I discuss some business." he added. Meredith is his daughter and his best commander. She has proven to be a great asset in battle and leading the fairies.
"Yes father, I'll gladly accept that! Oh, and, Prince Christopher I'll make sure to keep her safe and happy." she happily agreed.
"That's great! The girls could go now since we're all done, and we could go do our business."

Alexa's POV
As we all left the dining area, Meredith took me outside, and said to wait for her on the front porch.
Meredith is really cute and pretty. She has ginger curled hair, rosy white skin, and she's wearing this cute green fairy outfit.
After a few minutes, I heard some clopping of hooves. Ooooohh maybe we're going to ride horses. But as the clopping got louder, I began to be amazed, for there were no horses, but instead, there were unicorns.
"Hop on in!" Meredith happily told me.
I hopped in the carriage, and saw that it's too good to be true. The inside of the carriage has a glass floor, wherein you could see the things underneath it. It's as if you're really stepping on the ground. The chairs, on the other hand, are so comfortable. They feel like fluffy marshmallows surrounding you. The windows have a very interesting set up. They would open whenever you would say avierta and close if you would say sarad. Very automatic indeed. I really feel like I'm in a fairytale carriage, which I really am!
"The carriage is rather lovely isn't it? I take it that you like it?" Meredith curiously asked.
"Like it? I love it!" I replied, amazed of the fact that I'm inside this fascinating carriage.
"Oh fairy dust! I'm glad you like it." Meredith said in relief.
"Princess Alexandra, I just can't believe that I'm here with you! I mean last night I didn't really know how to confront you, but now I'm so glad that I get to be with the prince's beloved." Meredith said in joy.
"Wait, me, a princess? You must be mistaken. Yes, I'm Christopher's beloved, but I don't think I'm a princess." I said in confusion.
Me? A princess? Yes I'm used to being treated that way, but I don't think I'm one.
"I'm sorry miss. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that I don't know how to refer to you, and Prince Christopher is your beloved so.." Meredith said in panic.
I held Meredith's hands that were trembling, and said: "Relax, Meredith. You can call me Alexa. I'm sorry if I made you anxious, but I'm telling you that there's no need to be so formal around me."
I smiled at Meredith. Gosh! I'm so bad at making people feel comfortable around me. In the human world, I didn't exactly made a lot of friends. I wasn't the type to make a lot of friends. The only friends that I have are our maids, guards, chefs, and Zane. People would usually ignore me or be overwhelmed of being near me because my father is successful and rich, and I feel really insecure about that.
"Okay pr-uh Alexa! I'll try. I'm Meredith by the way, I know my father already called me a while ago, but I want to formally introduce myself. And if you would allow me I'll be glad to be your friend." she said pointing two fingers at me.
"Oh yeah, humans don't really do this greeting, but I'll gladly teach you." She said.
A greeting? Oh so that's a greeting.
"So all you have to do is to point out two fingers in front of you, and collide them with my fingers. After that, we do two taps using our fingers, like clapping but we do it with our fingers instead. Then we lock them by interlocking pur fingers. Just like this." she demonstrated using her own fingers.
"But I won't force you in doing this Alexa, it's just that I want to be your friend..." Meredith explained quickly with a nervous tone.
So to make our friendship official, which I totally accept. I initiated the friendship finger shake or whatsoever.
After we did that, white fairy dust surrounded our fingers, and formed what seem like a bond.
"Now, we're friends." She said happily.
Unconsciously, I smiled at what she said. I never had any girl friends and here I am making friends with a fairy.
"Friends." I agreed.
