After thinking this I went to my room and made a plan of running away. 'Tonight when everyone in the kingdom is asleep I'll run away. Since it's going to be a long night I'll sleep now.' With that I went to sleep.
At night
'Everyone is asleep except for some guards. So I need to be careful about it.' I thought as I was walking at the back of the castle with a cape. So that no one would recognize me.

'Now as of my research, a cart should be taking some goods outside from the castle. I'll sneak out with the goods.' Just as I was thinking this a cart came into my view. When it went past me I threw a rock as a distraction. Surprisingly it worked and I hopped on the cart and hid there. 'I'll hide here until it's safe to come out of hiding.' I thought and laid down were I was hiding.
In the morning
It has been a long time since I boarded this cart. Now it's going through a jungle. The cart stopped and the driver went to take some rest.
'This is my chance.' I thought and came down from the cart. Then I went deeper into the forest.

It's been a while since I started to walk. "Help!" I heard a scream. I rushed where the scream came from. When reached there I saw a beautiful girl with long (h/c) hair. She was being cornered by a pack of wolf. "Please, I promise I won't hurt you. I just came to find some flowers." She said.
I got ready with my sword and when a wolf attacked her I jumped in front of her with the sword. "Get back!" I screamed to her. I started to fight with the wolves. And finally they ran away. But I got a lot of scratches and bruises. She was about to say something to me. But I collapsed before I could listen.

My eyes slowly opened. My shoulders and back hurt. I sat up. "Ouch!" It was still hurting. When I sat up I noticed a piece of went cloth falling from my forehead. I also noticed my body had been bandaged and I was in some kind of house.
"Oh good! You're awake and alive!" A girl screamed. "Oh wait! Are you ok? Does it hurt too much? Should I call a doctor?" The girl rambled loudly. "Don't call anyone!" I screamed in panic, startling her in the process. "Oh ok?" She said confused. "But tell me does it hurt much?"
"It's hurting a little bit but it's fine." I said to her. "Sorry for getting you all bandaged up like that. And also thanks for saving me." I was about to say something but the girl spoke again. "Ohh! Wait a moment." She said and out of the door. Then quickly came in with a tray in hand. "Here you go! Eat quickly or the food will get cold." She handed me the tray. As I was about to thank her she spoke again, "Oh! I forgot! I haven't even introduced myself yet! I'm-" "Will you even let me talk?" I interrupted her. 'I didn't know a person can talk so much at a time.' I thought. "Now that you mentioned it I'm probably the one doing all the talking. Ha ha." She said, sticking her tongue out and giving a nervous chuckle. "Probably?" I asked her. "Oh, alright! I've been the one talking. Happy now?" She said and I nodded. "Alright then. Let's do it right. I'm y/n Akane. And this is my house plus flower shop. What about you? And what were you doing in a forest?" She rambled on. "I'm Shu and why I was in the forest, you don't need to know." I said to her.
"Alright, then I won't ask. But you don't look from this village. Are you from another village? Or maybe even town?!" She asked. "Yes. Yes, I am. But you can't tell anybody about me." I told her. She looked at me in confusion. "But why though? Wait is it because you're from another world?!!" She screamed. I put my hands on ears. So that I won't become deaf. And looked at her amazed. "No! I won't give you much details. But I'll tell you this that I've run away from home. And no more questions." I said firmly to her. "My lips are sealed." She said. "You can stay here then! We'll have so much fun! We'll do this and that together and we can even become best friends! Oh! And I'll show you around the village then! And maybe we can work on my flower shop together! We can even become working buddies! What do you say?!" She rambled on with her eyes, shining in hope. "Hahaha" I chuckled and said, "Fine then." I said. And she started jumping in joy.
'So cute and innocent. I never thought I'll meet someone like her. She's like an open book. Her emotions right there written on her face. Let's just hope she can keep our secret' I thought, smiling with closed eyes.
