The Caelum Princess

CHAPTER XIII: MISUNDERSTANDING

(Iya's P.O.V)

Résh, Clark and Titus head out to Corona to find the girl with the golden hair. I didn't want to come because I didn't feel quite well and just kept an eye here, Hiro and Lyra didn't wanna come either for a reason which I don't know.

Princess Merida agreed to give us some of her blood once we completed all what Ms. Savina needed and right now, she's teaching Lyra how to shoot an arrow. Hiro went back to San Fransokyo using the snow globe he said he needed to get some things.

Hiccup sat beside me, "Hey," he greeted.

I glanced at him, "Hello, you're still not thinking that I'm evil, right?"

"Nope, now I understood why you needed my dragon's scale so badly, Lyra explained everything to me. I'm sorry I called you evil and all." he said with a chuckle.

I smiled, "No, its fine. I'm used to it. My mistress is the evil one,"

He seemed to be startled to what I just said that made him look, "Eh? How evil?" he asked.

I realized what I said then shook my head, "It's nothing." I looked down.

I didn't wanna tell him that Ms. Savina wanted to use the scale, the blood, the heart and the hair to regain her full power because that might just ruin Résh's plan to save her parents, so I just kept my mouth shut.

"I respect your privacy but if you need any help, let me know, okay?" he smiled then patted my head. I blushed a little, not 'cause I like him, I just admire his kindness.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Anyway, is Hiro your boyfriend?"

I fidgeted then blushed, "No! Why do you guys keep asking that?"

He laughed, "It's because you two always seem to get along well and you guys were always together,"

I winced, "Well, I like him but I don't know if the feeling is mutual." I said as I twirl my fingers together.

"Well, he seemed to like you, I could tell." Hiccup said.

"How?" I asked.

"From the way he looks at you." he chuckled.

"Eh? You could see that?" I found myself blushing.

"Uh-huh, did you confess already?" he asked.

I just nodded to his question.

"What was his answer?"

I looked down to my thighs, "He had no answer, he just said sorry that he didn't know because he said some awful words to me before,"

He frowned, "I guess your confession changed everything."

I just smiled, "And besides, if he does like me, there's no way we could be together."

"Why not?"

"One, I'm immoral and he's not; and two, he doesn't deserve an evil girl like me." I said.

"Look, I know I said you're evil but you're actually not." he frowned.

"I know I am, I work for someone evil." I clenched my fists.

"But that doesn't mean you are," said Hiccup as he pats my shoulder.

I chuckled, "Well, enough about me, let's talk about you. Do you have any love interest?" I asked to change the subject.

"I have a girlfriend back home but–" he looked straight and from the looks of it, he was looking at Princess Merida.

"But what?" I asked.

He shook his head then just smiled, "Nothing, nothing."

"You began to like someone else?"

He fidgeted to what I said, "Eh? No, no– I"

"Just admit it." I said as I giggle.

"Fine, I admit I like the Princess of Dun Broch. My Dad and I visited their kingdom once then I fell in love with her at first sight. And when I saw her here, I was shocked. Its wrong for me to fall for her because–" he said as look down.

"You don't want to hurt your girlfriend back home?" I completed his sentence.

He nodded, "I wish I didn't like that princess. Don't get me wrong, I love my girlfriend, Astrid."

"I know, I know," I patted his shoulder. "God is the only one who knows the right girl for you,"

"Yeah, but I think Princess Merida doesn't have a thing for me, so I don't know if I'll stand a chance for her." he sighed.

"Well, are planning on courting her? But you just said you don't want to hurt Astrid." I frowned.

"I know, but–" he sighed.

"Well, if it's meant to be with you and Astrid then it will be; same goes with Merida. Just have faith in God, okay?" I said.

"I could say the same for you, if it's meant to be for you and Hiro then it will be." he smirked.

I blushed then chuckled, "Yeah, but there's no way of knowing is there?"

"Just like you said, God is the only One who knows."
