Why Did I Get Involved?

Ch. 6 Is Tea My Enemy?

Tierra sighed, how in the world should she entertain him when there's nothing here!

Ooo~ I smell Jasmine tea...

She quickly sat down next to the prince and held the tea cup that had tea in it with her right hand, with her pinky pointing outwards. She brought it to her lips and took a sip, eh... it's kind of cold. She brought the tea cup down and gazed at it, focused.

"Hmm~, you really are amusing," the prince said, as he placed his arm up onto the table and leaned his head on it, as he continued to stare at her.

She turned her head to face him, her expressionless face still in show.

"How so? You know the tea is not warm, and has been here for a while," she reprimanded. But Tierra took the cup once again to her lips and took another big sip.

"That is my cup, you see..." he stated then gave out a small chuckle, as he still stared at her, looking for any signs of a reaction.

"PFFFFT-" once again.... Tierra spat her tea out, out of shock that is. She didn't give the prince another glance as she looked at the table. There was only one tea cup, and the tea was cold, that indicates that he was here earlier by himself drinking tea! She quickly put the tea cup down and wiped furiously at her lips.

"Ahem...." she heard. Tierra whipped her head to face the guy, and found him soaked with tea. Ahh... she forgot, she slapped herself mentally. How could she forget! She can at least be beheaded for this, ahhh, spare her!

She quickly bowed,

"I'm so sorry! Please forgive this maiden for her mistakes," Tierra said in panic. But she heard a sudden laugh.

"Mistakes? Which one? When you drank from my cup, or when you spit tea all over me?" The prince gave a closed eye smile, truly terrifying...

"For both of them, your highness," ugh, she's only doing this for her family, she can't bring down their reputation. If not, then Tierra probably would have slapped this kid all the way to the U.S.! Wait this is not Earth..

"Hm... you have to take responsibility for drinking from this prince's cup, but for the tea all over me, that's a different matter." He said nonchalantly, Tierra swore she just saw a glint in his eyes but it disappeared quickly, these assassin skills are too sharp sometimes. Her skills also help her hide the killing intent that would be oozing over them by now.

Tierra was speechless....

HAH?!?!?!?!?!?! What responsibility?!

"Bring me to my chambers I need to change," he commanded with a grin. That was when she again remembered he was soaked, and still had tea dripping from his chin.

Tierra hastily grabbed her handkerchief and stood up abruptly, making my chair fall back with a CLANG sound. She ignored it and suddenly took a step forward and began wiping his face.

"Close your eyes," Tierra said in an almost whisper. He opened his eyes wide in shock, but then obliged and shut his eyeslids, a grin still smug on his face.

As she finally got down to wiping his chin, he opened his mouth.

"You can be severely punished for touching me this intimately, you know?" A grin again plastered on his face, as he opened his eyes. Tierra froze as her hands stopped from continuing wiping his him, and looked up into his eyes.

Tierra, just realising how close she was, only a few centimeters apart from each other, flushed red. She stepped back and retracted her hand, only for it to be grabbed by him as he stood up.

I'm sorry Mother, Father, I've brought upon problems Into the family! I promise I'll try my hardest to not bring shams on our families name!

"Lets goto my chambers so I can change," he said, beginning to drag Tierra away, once again.

Tierra didn't say a single thing, and just let herself be dragged out of the maze obediently, still mad at herself for extracting dumb actions.

He brought Tierra to the back of the castle, and knocked a certain amount of times onto the wall, and it shifted, opening up a secret passage.

He continued to lead her through, and soon they entered a big room. The secret passage closed behind them, and the prince turned and looked at her, though she was still looking down at the floor.

"This is my room, go sit somewhere while I take a bath and change." He requested.

Tierra silently nodded her head and sat on the closest thing near her.

She then heard a quiet laugh.

"And you still have the guts to sit on this prince's bed! Ahaha," he kept laughing. Tierra snapped her head up and gave him a glare. Standing up, she walked a few feet away from the bed and sat on the floor criss- crossed, not caring it's unladylike, and the fact that she was in a dress.

He seemed to laugh even more when she did that, and add to the fact that she turned her back to him.

Hmph! Look down on me all you want, I'm gonna leave this place sooner or later.

Tierra heard a door close, and guessed he left to do a quick wash up. She stood up and looked around, he is truly spoiled...

Tierra walked back to the bed and touched the blankets earlier that she previously sat on.

I knew it! It really is so soft!

She gave a little giggle, and lunged her body fully onto the bed. Spreading her arms and legs onto the soft fluffy bed, she sighed.

Oh yeah! I got distracted from my original goals!

Tierra quickly sat up on his bed only to be once again greeted by the toothy grinned prince...

AH FUDGE NUGGETS, I GOT CAUGHT PLAYING ON HIS SOFT BED. Goodbye world..

At tgus moment, Tierra wanted to cry but lacked the tears. Look, she's not a heartless ninja assassin okay? She also still has pride in what she does, but now it's slowly fading like an hour glass!

What she didn't notice was that someone had already knocked on his highnesses door, and opened it. CLINGGGG. The sound reverberated throughout his room.
