The Princess Protector

<o8> Star Gazing

Auriah's POV

"wow, I want a garden like this in the palace " I dreamily said hugging my knees tighter

"You can visit this place every time " Leon suggest

"Well , that would be great " I said happily making him chuckle.

I just raised an eyebrow on him

" sorry It just your Russian  accent is really cute " he said with a smile

"you think so?" I ask questionly

"why? have a doubt on it ?" he ask

"no not really but you know I think the palace servants don't like it at all."

"how can you say that ?" he ask curiously

"well because everytime they here me speaking in English their face becomes unreadable. So I always try to speak tagalog when Im with them and that means everyday " I said laughing when I try to reminice those time

"I guest there is no problem with you speaking maybe their not used to your english " He said

"ummm.. well that makes me feel better " I said looking up at him and he just smile at me

"now let just watch and enjoy the stars " He said looking up the sky

"yeah good idea. " I said turing my gazed up too.

"Princess Auriah can I ask a question? " he said after the long silence

That Princess Auriah is really something and intrigues me but I just ignore and shake it away

"what is it? " I ask still looking up

"what are you doing in that big maze alone ?? " He ask making me to look at him.

"well" and with that are conversation start. We joke ,Laugh and talk but most of are topic is about me. How I manage to escaped my guard and went sametime stuck to maze.Making me promise that I should have a partner when escaping which is julie and so on

"I heard lot of rumors about you. And know I now maybe those rumors are true. " he said laughing

"well I can confirm them if its true."  I said

"okay.. Some says you are a hell stubborn princess. " he said

"well what a rude gossip but stubborn is not actually a good word." I said bluntly

"okay sorry about that, how about the 13th flowering feast they say you want all of your palace servants wear pink but Lalita said white. So before the event you sneak in the laundry and colored them pink caught on guard they don't have a choice so they were it pink." he said making me laugh at the memories.

"yeah.. That was true hell I do Tom Cruise style in there like a criminal. Everybody know it was me but they cant blame after all I'm the Princess " I said laughing with pride saying the last sentence.

"yeah right, no one dares to scoffed a princess" He agree with me

"yeah..that was the time Im thanking that I was born Princess" I said with a smile but immediately turn to a regret remembering that for the sake of being a princess I lost my parents.

But I stand still and just give Leon a small smile. Like I always do.

"Leon.. can I came here tomorrow? " I ask him

"Sure " he smile genuinely at me

"Anytime, Princess Auriah  " he add and lie making his arm a pillow giving him a nice view to look at the stars. So I copy him and lie beside him not double thinking what I do.

And believe me I dont know either what Im doing. I just feel safe and comportable beside him. Maybe because his a nephew of Harold and he save me twice. But I dont really care.

we just lie at the back of his pick-up enjoying the stars and the peaceful silence between us

"this is so relaxing " I admit still enjoying the peacefully garden and the twinkle of the stars even though I know stars never twinkle.

Next day

I wake up by the sunlight on my face

"Can somebody please turn off the sun " I scowl pulling my comforter up to cover my face

"Silly Princess ,  The sun can't be turned off " a voice said with a chuckle

"I know!  who idiot will make the sun turned off! " I said forcefully getting up to see a smirking  Leon leaning on my door frame with a cross arm.

"what the hell!" I muttered effortlessly lie again on bed feeling a little bit embarrass and covering my whole body with the comforter making Leon laugh.

"well, good morning to you too, Princess Auriah "

Even if  I can't see him I know by the sound of his voice he is still laughing.

And what's with the ' Princess Auriah ' thingy making me like Im sick. This is nuts! As in peanuts.

"what are you doing here? Don't you know that this is the princess room?" I ask him removing my comforter but still laying in bed.

"I don't see a problem , Princess Auriah " He said making me sit immediately

"Where's my servant? Julie! Guards!" I shout making them all running to my room

"What is it princess? " Julie said

"Bakit nandito si Leon sa kwarto ko? " tanong ko.
As you see tagalog ako magsalita pag sa palasyo.

binigyan lang ako ni Julie ng nagtatakang tingin na parang 'seriuosly?? yun lang '

"By the way, Princess Auriah my name is Leon Dwein Pettifier your new Head Body Guard " he said smiling that makes all my servant drool.seriously??

BTW . What??

"Pardon?" I don't get it

"Prinsesa, pasensya na po sunod sunod na daw po kasi ang mga pagsaway at pagtakas nyo. Kaya pinalitan na ni Harold yung Head Guard nyo lalo na po at mag 18 na kayo mas lalong magiging delikado ang buhay nyo " nakayukong sabi ni Julie.

Parang naguluhan ako bigla kaya isa lang ang alam kong makapagpapaliwanag nito sa akin huminga ako ng malalim.Na nagpaalarma sa lahat maliban kay Leon. Dahil alam na nina julie ang susunod kong gagawin pagnaguguluhan ako nagtakip na sila ng tenga maliban kay Leon na nagtataka sa kinikilos ng lahat. Well my servants know me well.

"HAROLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

isang matinis at nakabibingi kong sigaw.Yun lang kasi ang paraan ng mabilis na pagtawag kay Harold.

Yeah!!! I know Im a great whistle!
