"Your Highness,it seems like you don't have milk for breakfast.As a good person here I will give you mine."

The speaker then poured the cup of milk he was holding on Riel's head,who was sitting and quietly eating his food in the corner to not attract the attention of them but unfortunately... they still remembered to bother him.

A dark light flashed in his eyes but it was quickly covered up by him and the only thing that could be seen was his fear.

The group laughed and even the people around them were the same.

It's been 18 years and this Prince was still a coward himself. I mean does being bullied by others need an age?He quickly hid his tail behind him whenever he encountered them. Like a scaredy cat. He couldn't even fight for himself.

He secretly gritted his teeth,just endure it for a little longer. This was your last day,tomorrow you won't be here anymore and will finally get back to your home. Where his Father was staying with and naturally will become the Crown Prince and wouldn't experience this scene again.

Riel stood up from his seat, his head lowered. His thoughts were repeating in his mind. When I come back I will get revenge on you all. Even if you were thousand miles away from me.

Tomorrow has come.

In a big room,Riel hurriedly packed his things in the luggage. When he finished he first checked if he forgot anything before closing the luggage and dragging it outside.

His lips were smiling from ear to ear. Finally, he was finally leaving this hell and will meet his Father.

Students who saw him happily dragging his things towards the waiting carriage outside the school couldn't help but mock and laugh.

When Riel reached the carriage his irresponsible butler finally showed himself and opened the door for him. He put his luggage inside first before him and sat in the soft and comfortable chair.

The journey will take a long time as the west and south were too far away from each other.

Half a month had passed,the day and night journey was finished when the carriage finally reached the border of the Ejen Empire.

The guards opened up the gate when they confirmed that the visitor was their own by just looking at the emblem of the carriage.

Riel moved the curtain inside and looked outside the window,he saw some royal guards and knights camping,there were also so many tents. With this he somehow had an idea what was happening. He closed the curtain and just looked forward,dazed.

Hours passed and Riel felt the carriage stopped,the door opened and his butler showed up behind it.

"Your Highness, the journey might still take a long time so I decided for us to rest first. There's an inn behind me."

Yes,the butler decided without bothering to ask Riel. In his eyes,what could this Prince do to him?It wouldn't make trouble even if he was disrespected like this. The thing he always said before when the Prince was a child was still imprinted in his mind thus the butler could see that Riel obeyed him and quietly went out of the carriage.

"Let's go."

The butler closed the carriage door and left with Riel following behind. It's ok to leave the carriage without someone guarding it,just seeing the emblem would make the possible thief scared.

They stopped in front of an inn with three floors.

When the butler walked inside the inn he went straight towards the counter and started to talk to the guy who was assigned there and managed to book two rooms.

The inn also had its own restaurant on the first floor

He made a signal to Riel to follow him thus Riel followed his butler towards upstairs.

They walked for a while and then stopped in front of the door with a number '08' on it. The butler opened its door and the inside was seen.

The room only had a bed that had enough space for a person to fit in,there's the closed window that looked stuck and a desk with a lamp.

"Here's your room and this is the key."

The butler then lent the key to him which he accepted, he stared at the key on his palm and couldn't help but ask.

"Where's yours?"

He looked up and saw his butler pointed upstairs then after that,the butler left him alone standing in the doorway and went to his own room that he booked.

Riel didn't know what to say and just accepted his fate and went to his little room. At least he still had a bed to sleep with.

After going inside,he closed the door then sat at the bed. The bed wasn't as soft as the chair on the carriage,with this Riel only had one thought on his mind. It was more comfortable sleeping while sitting on a soft cushion than sleeping while lying on this hard bed but he didn't have any choice and sleeping outside was dangerous.

He removed his shoes and put them on the side then started to take off his clothes and only left himself the pants and the sleeveless shirt.

Burying himself on the quilt,Riel closed his eyes to sleep.

Knock.Knock.Knock.

A sound of hurried knocks came outside the door which made Riel wake up. He sat up in a daze then put his shoes on before standing up and opened the door.

An old man showed up,this old man spoke.

"Your Highness, prepare yourself and we will start to go on our journey to the palace."

Hearing this Riel finally woke up from his daze and saw his butler.

"What about my breakfast?I just woke up and you want me to travel without filling my stomach?"

His voice annoyed but the butler only gave him a cold answer.

"You could eat at the carriage. If you don't have any plans to dress up properly before going outside then please follow me now otherwise I will only wait for you in five minutes and if times up then get back on your own."

Then the butler turned around and left. Riel immediately closed the door and washed himself up in just five minutes,the time running downstairs and towards the carriage was counted.

"Here."

The butler threw a brown bag at him which he subconsciously caught and he immediately went inside and closed the carriage door.
