"Come on why are you so on guard?!" He laughed out loud, putting his hands over my shoulder

I moved away "that wasn't funny!"

..

He kept following me till the end of the corridors

I finally ended up asking him, giving him the attention he so wanted

"What do you really want?" I turned to hin, stopping on my tracks

He grinned his stupid grin again "you!", making me frown to myself

"You are--" Before I could shout at him more, he added more to the line

"You, tomorrow, hunting" He stated confidently, laughing out loud because of his cheekiness

"I, reject, gracefully" I replied back, walking in front again

..

"I am serious!" He protested, standing in front of me now, blocking my way

"... What?" I asked, that's weird

I saw determination in his eyes

I looked away
"Well.. Even if you are serious, last time I hunted was when I was 12 and it was with my dad" I rolled my eyes, does he even hear what he is saying?

..

"And for now... I have something more serious to ask you" I said

"What?" He asked

"Why are you wearing a bathrobe your highness?" I sighed, looking up and down at his attire, how is he so confident in himself

"Well it's summer" He replied back, as if it's the most normal thing in the world

.... "Understandable"

.......

"So? Are you coming?"

"Where your highness?"

"Hunting" He said jolly again, not giving up

"Who?" I asked back, praying to annoy him to go back to his room

"You and me" He grinned more

I gave him a big sister angry stare before whisper shouting "LOOK I AM BEING VERY POLITE BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE PALACE BUT YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR TROUBLE KIDD!" I finally shouted

"Haha, now that's the girl I know and love!" He joked

..

"Why are you so obsessed with hunting suddenly anyways? I mean isn't the palace full of work already?" I asked him, this time really curious, walking through the palace and now into the garden

"Idiot, I got invited by some other nobles! Or else do you think I have the time and energy currently?" He questioned me, scratching his head

"Hahaha! I mean you are Kidd after all! How can you not have the energy?"

...

"Ace" Yamato called out to the boy in her room, fixing his shoe, ready to go out like the rest of the nobles too

The sun almost coming up by now

"Hm?" He hummed back, not particularly happy

"Look" She called, as Ace slowly began coming to the balcony, the 3rd floor balcony directly faced towards the main garden Y/n and Kidd is having a conversation in

"They seem close" She remarked
Ace frowned, not letting his fiance see it "Who knows"

..

"Good morning!" Kidd grinned as he watched me walk to the horse shed

"Bad morning" I greeted him back, rolling my eyes, can't believe he managed to force me into something like this

The boots felt comfortable but the pants were not, last I wore pants were back when Garp san took me and Luffy to the forest of their nation

They didn't had any shirt for women in our country unlike Ace's kingdom where it is available everywhere, so I just had to make do with one of my brother, Killer's shirt

He eyed me up and down, not wording a thing

"So? Mind telling me now that why am I invited into this? I mean what benefit are you gaining?" I questioned him, rubbing the back of a white horse, the one Kidd always has with him, its name was Steele

"Well, Everyone of those nobles are married or have a partner, I need someone to go with the lonely crown price" He laughed, making me more pissed

"You could take any girls you like"

"That's what I am doing ain't I?" He asked back

... He is smooth
..

"Plus you are better than the random noble girls who only know how to focus on how to be a better lady or cuter girl!" He commented

"Was that an insult?"

"You can take it as an compliment"

..

"Now then, the inner forest is still kinda far away, are we gonna walk with the horse till there?" I asked him

"Huh? Why will we walk?"

"I don't know how to ride a horse remember?" I reminded him, confused

"Well, I am here for that ain't I?" He questioned back yet again, more confused

"..." Before I could realize what he meant, I felt his huge hands around my waist, pulling me up to the horse's back

"W- WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I shouted

"Helping you ride a horse! Now don't move and stay still!"

...

As I sat in the back, holding onto his back for dear life, I could see the figures of the others deep inside the forest

"Are you guys talking about some extra secret stuff? Because this place sure does look like top secret" I asked

"Mhm, you will see when we get there!"

..

As we kept getting closer and closer, the weird shadows were definitely suspicious

... Horns

Like that girl, Yamato

And a sassy way of standing..
Isn't that definitely Ace?!!!

"I AM JUMPING OFF!!" I shouted at Kidd, enough for him to fear, but not enough for Ace and his fiance to hear us

"Nah-ah! I am helping you meet a political party after this right? So help me out here!" Kidd laughed more

I crocked an eyebrow "are you just messing with me? Even as a prank this is too harsh!" I shouted at him

He turned around "well, why is it harsh? You still have like him or something?" He asked, his tone now serious, demanding an answer as if I owe it to him

I looked the other way, unable to keep direct eye contract for some reasons

"I... "

Memories of Ace flashed by my mind, how he used to touch me so gently, how he used to look at me, how he used to start to get possessive

How we went to town together
How we spend at night inside the carriage

.. And how..

"I never liked him to begin with" I answered, lying to him, lying to myself
