Chapter 42

"Al, I don't want to return." I complained while Al sits beside me inside the car. When I looked outside the window, I saw the airport signage indicating that we're almost there.

"No. You've done quite an spectacle. Your father is furious." Al reminded.

"More reason I don't want to go home." I sulked.

"If only you didn't get yourself in that kind of trouble." Al said disappointedly.

"Do you think I planned this? I didn't even know who did this." I said as I try to remember the events that had occured. "Al, I remembered someone saying something to me before I passed out."

"What is it? Can you remember what that person said?" He inquired.

I closed my eyes and try to remember what he said but nothing comes into mind. "I can't remember, but I know I knew that person."

Al stared at me for a moment. "You know...After I received an info regarding your kidnapping I was worried." He said with a sigh. "I'm half part of your scheme when you decided to escape your life as a royalty and the idea that you're in trouble because of it does not sit well with my conscience." He said.

I smiled inwardly. "Awww. My cute cousin is worried for my safety." I cooed. I even cling on his forearm playfully and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Shut up." He said moving his face away from me, a sign that he's being shy about it.

"So, will you let go of me this time?" I asked seizing the moment. His face snapped on my direction with a big frown.

"No." He flatly stated.

I pouted trying to act like a cute kid hoping that my antics will work on him but when I saw him raised his eyebrow I immediately let go.

"Listen, it's not like I don't support you on what you wanted. Didn't I made it clear last time when I helped you? The situation right now is slightly different because there are threats coming to the royal family and most of them are directed towards you. I heard all about it from your father when he discovered what I have done."

"What!?" I exclaimed when I caught the last sentence.

"Yes, he knew and I don't want to talk about how he did but I thought I was screwed that time. Going back to the info you just told me a while ago, there's a possibility that you really knew the person who kidnapped you because we suspected that he or she is part of the high Atlantrian Society."
