If I loved you

Rescuing the lonely prince

'What the hell was he thinking!' I couldn't help but scream in frustration.

'He planned everything in advance but didn't tell us anything.' Luke was pacing back and forth with head in his hands.

Right now we are hiding upstairs. The villagers have already left the temple one by one. Non goes home with New despite the objections of his family. Aunty....mom....I.... don't know what to call her ......was also forced to go with them because she could not leave New alone. I was glad that she was with him or else I would die from anxiety.

The temple was totally empty except for us. In all the confusion no one noticed where we were or even tried to find us. I think they forgot about us completely.

'I want to go to the villa immediately.' I started to walk towards the ladder.

'It won't do any good and they can make more trouble if they see us there. Master may have already started looking for me.' Luke blocked my way.

'I can't sit here with my hands folded like this. I don't know what's going on there and how he is doing. Is the cut on his hand okay or not, did he see a doctor or not.....I am going crazy like this!' I shoved him hard.

'That villa right now is swarming with people. We will get caught the moment we go there.'

'You said you didn't know anything about this plan, so how did you plan to escape from here?' I asked.

There's something that I missed completely. New can't in any way trouble aunty...mom .. so he must have thought of another way to get out of here.

'Escape plan? Yes....' But before Luke could finish his words a faint whistle came from outside.

'What's that?'

'Our men. They are signalling me. Wait...' Luke whistles one time.

Four or five people came running inside and started to look everywhere.

'What is the situation there?' Luke asked and they all looked up.

'You are here! Thank god!' They took the ladder and came up.

'The young master is stable now. That boy is with him. He collapsed due to excessive blood loss. Madam was with them but we managed to take her to the car. She is waiting for you guys there on the main road. We don't have much time.'

'Okay. Then we need some kind of distraction....'

'Boss?'

'What?'

'We got a message from the young master earlier.....here, take a look.'

He handed a paper to Luke. I stretched my neck and saw in neat writing New wrote,

'Take them to the city asap. I'll join you there later.'

This is of course New's handwriting.

'What! He is not coming with us?'

'No.'

'I'm not leaving without him.' I said with determination.

'Me too.' Luke agreed.

'Sorry...but it's his order.'

'Who the hell is he to give me order!' I shouted at them.

Enough is enough. If he is playing the power card then it's my time to play the 'actual heir' card.

'Khun Tay ..'

'You know me?' I was surprised.

'The young master said we need to show you respect.....we don't know why...' They said awkwardly.
