Her Royal Shyness

Ch 12-Ruby

Nathan's POV

Ruby Palace

"Prince Nathan, welcome home!" the servants chorused.

I ignored them and the knights dragged me to my father's throne.

"Let go of me!" I kept on struggling. I don't want to be in this ghaddarn place.

"Welcome my dear son!" my father greeted with a devilish smile plastered on his face.

The knights released me.

"What do you want?" I glared at him.

"Is that how you greet your father?" he gave me a hurt look but I will never be fooled by his act.

"Cut the crap! Spit it out." I shouted.

"Woah, easy son." he smirked.

"Okay here it is. I want you to bring here the lost daughter of King Marcus. I've heard, she's on the same ordinary school you're in."

The princess of Emerald Kingdom? But why?

"And why will I follow your orders?" I smirked.

He grinned as if what I said was just nothing.

"'Coz I will kill Maria if you wouldn't."

"You monster!" I'm on my way to attack him but his knights shielded him.

"F*ck!" I cussed.

Maria. My maid since I was a child, the only one who cared for me when my mother died was now chained and helpless.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Good... Lock her in the room." he ordered his followers to put Maria out of my sight.

"I am okay Nathan. Don't worry about me." Maria said in a hoarse voice.

I hate seeing her this way. She's been like my second mother.

"So everything's settled then. I want you to bring the princess here before the school year ends. Or else, you know what will happen." he smiled wickedly.

Yssa's POV

It was 3 pm when the three of us decided to go home.

It's weird because Nathan was gone for two days, I wonder what's happening to him.

Well, I had a great day with my friends.

We went to a mall to hang out since we've been busy with our own lives.

Jess is our participant in an interschool competition, Marco, as usual busy with dating girls, Nathan, I think, the swimming team and me, with the school paper.

I already got inside the house when I saw Shaun arranging his clothes in his bagpack.

"You're leaving?" I asked.

"Yes, tomorrow morning. Family matters." he answered.

"Oh." I'm kinda speechless.

The thought of not seeing him... gosh. Clingy much?

He smiled at me. "I'll be back soon."

Oh my! Shaun please stop doing that. I'm melting in your smile.

I smiled back. Staph with the clinginess, staph it Yssa!

Oh! I almost forgot.

"Here." I handed him the paper bag.

"What's this?" he asked while scanning the bag.

"I went to the mall with my friends, we ate there and I sort of thought that you might be hungry."

"Aww, that's so sweet." Gosh! He's mocking me.

I hit him with a pillow.

"Hey!" he reacted as if it was so hurtful.

I chuckled.

"Pasta and pizza. You really do love me Yssa."

'Yes I do.' I whispered to myself.

I stared at him while he's eating. Awww, so cute. I want to pinch his cheeks.

"Ahm, Yssa?" an awkward smile plastered on his face.

"What?"

"Please don't stare at me. It's creepy." he said.

My jaw dropped. He caught me staring. I'm doomed.

"I can't help it. You look so cute." I joked then he looked away.

Is he blushing?

I chuckled.

I teased him more. I moved closer to him and pinched his cheeks.

"You look so cute." still pinching his cheeks.

I giggled. He's so flushed.

Such a cutie!

But to my surprise, he kissed me on the cheeks and whispered. "I'm not 'cute' my Yssa, hot is the right term."

I was dumbfounded.

He smiled.

Now it's my turn to blush.
