Thiefess

Chapter 9: Imilia

Okay, so first and foremost,

Was he flirting with me? The Crown Prince of this Kingdom, flirting with me?? Um, what?

Secondly, teach him about the forest????! Is he blackmailing me? Am I being blackmailed? So that he can learn how to eat berries and not die, and to walk on branches like you would on carpet?

Okay, so I guess that is kind of cool. Plus, I wouldn't get immediately thrown in the castle dungeons.
Okay so Pros= no imprisonment for me, and he's pretty hot so...
And cons= I have to teach this guy about the forest, and actually spend time with him.

Well, crap.

These thoughts all go through my mind in a split second whilst he looks at me quizzically. He even looks as if he regrets what he said himself. Ha. What an idiot.

"Ok, I'll do it. Saves me from spending the rest of my life in the dungeons anyway." A smug smile spread over my face. What an easy deal. For me, anyway. This arrogant guy isn't gonna know what's hit him. Well, except when it's a branch to the face.

His eyes widened, shocked. "R-really? You'll do it? Wow."
"Yeah, I'll do it. I'll see you tomorrow at the place we first met. At dawn."
"Okay, great. Wait...

Dawn??!"

He sounded as if he wanted to object, but I was already halfway out of the window.
"Yup." I mocked, popping the 'p'. And then I jumped.
"Tell Tess I said goodbye! And thanks for the dress!" I shouted, halfway across the garden, the dress bundled up under my arm.

Oh god, please don't make me regret this.
