By the time they collected all the herbs it was turning dark. Sky sighs in frustration as he look at PraPai who was looking around to see if anything else could be collected

"I'm tired, can we go back?" He spoke feeling hungry, tired and also upset.

After the incident, PraPai won't respond to him unless he speaks. Sky was scared that PraPai would recognise his voice but fortunately PraPai didn't seem to.

In the end, Sky decided it's better this way as already spoken once. PraPai kept talking like a chatterbox and Sky would respond occasionally.

"Khrup! Let's go! I hope Rain and Phayu get the rest..." PraPai spoke as he looked at Sky, "Are you tired? it must be really uncomfortable with the veil... wanna remove it, too?"

"Shut up, please.." Sky said in an annoyed voice as he started walking.

PraPai sighs before running after Sky, "I can carry you, your feet must be paining. I have a habit of walking so it's fine with me but it looks so delicate.."

Suddenly Sky stopped walking and turned around to glare at PraPai, "Isn't your neck paining after speaking for much? Let me hold it for you..."

"Jeesh, where did sweet Khun go? Now all you do is spit fire..." PraPai complained

"That's how I am, deal with it or stop bothering me.." Sky responded.

"It's okay, your voice is so soothing. Even if you cursed me to death, I will feel blessed..." PraPai said in a teasing voice.

Sky rolled his eyes and whispered, "What a pest.."

"Pest? What does it mean?" PraPai asked in curiosity.

"...a sweetheart.." Sky replies after thinking for a while

"Oh.." PraPai felt his heartbeat fast as he thought about Sky calling him sweetheart.

Suddenly he could stop but thinking about Sky staring at him innocently yet shyly and calling him sweetheart. He shook his head to forget about it.

He came here to find out the reason why Sky joined the contest, not for acting like a teenager with a crush. PraPai took a deep breath and grins again

"So why did you join this contest? Fancy Phayu or me?"

If Sky could make a face at PraPai, he would have definitely given him a disgusted look, "No.." He spoke in bided voice

"Then? Why did you apply?" PraPai asked again

"Why does it matter?" Sky asked back in irritation

"You apply to contest to marry in the royal family, of course I will be curious about your purpose. Whether for love or power.." PraPai said calmly but Sky felt hint of coldness

"None, I applied for some other reason. I'm not interested in the royal family.."

"Then why? Why are you here, Khun?" PraPai pestered Sky who turned around and suddenly pinched PraPai's hand

"Did anyone ever tell you that you speak so much?! Even Rain became quiet after a while but your mouth doesn't hurt at all? Tell me truthfully, your enemies run away because they can't handle your non stop chattering right? Stop asking me questions or I swear I will kill you. I might not be as good as you but I can definitely make sure you suffer!" Sky shouted at PraPai who stared at him with wide eyes.

"Shut up! Shut up! I wanted to tell you this since day one! God! Rain wasn't enough that I have to encounter another..." Sky was breathing heavily as he glared at PraPai.
