My Princess part 2

"Alright, for now let's see if you can even hit the bucket." Phichit said, resulting with a chuckle from Yuuri. Yuuri held the string as Phichit guided her hands. Phichit felt a strange warmness rise to his cheeks again.

"I wonder how long until I hit the bucket." she laughed.

"Maybe a year?"

"Hey, I don't think I'm that bad!"

"Well, Princess, you have 0 experience in shooting arrows. Who knows if you can even shoot it correctly."

"Oh, shut it and help me." Yuuri said with a smile. Phichit nodded and began showing her how to shoot correctly. The bow wasn't similar to western bows. It was built tall, taller than the body if you hold the string up to your ear.

"Now, just aim for the bucket and release the string gently or else the arrow will shoot crooked."

"T..That doesn't help, you know." Yuuri sighed.

"Then do what seems right." Phichit said.

Yuuri let out a flustered sigh before focusing on the bow then the bucket. Phichit silently admired how elegant she looked despite her awkward hold on the string. She let go of the arrow.

It flopped to the ground.

Phichit bursted out laughing.

"Aah!!! Stop laughing!" she tried to say seriously, but because of Phichit's laughing, she couldn't help but catch on.

"You... You looked so focused and everything! I really thought you'd hit the bucket!"

Yuuri puffed up her cheeks.

"Shush up, will you?" she blushed with a quirky smile, "I'm not an expert so don't make fun of me!"

Phichit slowly began to stop, coughing afterwards because of how violent he was laughing. Yuuri put her hands on her waist.

"You're supposed to be my protector but you're not even take it seriously.."

Phichit frowned playfully, putting his hands on his hip to mock her.

"Oh, Princess, whatever shall I do! I'm being totally useless! Tell me what I shall do to entertain you."

Yuuri pouted her lips.

"Okay, okay. I'll stop, just for you, Princess."

She let out a sigh.

"But really, what should I do with Viktor's proposal?" she said before sitting down on a tree log, "He's perfect: the looks, the intelligence, the manners; his gentlemanliness.. He's got everything that a woman desires. But he likes me and I know I should say yes, but I'm not... I don't want... I'm not fond of being in a relationship that way.. maybe?"

Phichit felt his lip twitch by the mention of Viktor's name. The lucky bastard. He was able to go around without being known as a nuisance just because of his class.

"You shouldn't be rushed into a relationship if you don't want to be. You have your own pace of falling in love."

"Yes, but still..."

"Princess, you should do whatever your heart desires."

As simple as that, Phichit states, but he doesn't know the situation she's in. She's not able to fall in love. If she were to develop romantic feeling towards an individual, her mind will destruct.

"Then... isn't it okay if I just... fall in love with him?"

Phichit's eyes widened. She can't. He loved her more than Victor can ever. Victor just wanted her because of the land and the benefits. He just "loving" her because of his background.
