Dragon Nest: SHORT STORIES

Prince: Epilogue

Prince POV

It has been a month already with my relationship with Ryz and I gotta admit it kinda felt nice. I am having troubles on showing my emotions a bit but she was being patient and keeps on being sweet and loving which I don't mind.

I am now outside her house to fetch her so the both of us will go to the guild together. I stepped infront of the door and knocked it hearing her voice from inside and it opened revealing her with her simple black clothes. She smiled while I did too as I greeted her a good morning and kissed her forehead which made her giggle and hugged me tight. "Good morning too my cute Prince!" She happily said and let me inside the house since she never had breakfast yet.

She let me eat with her which I didn't obliged since I never ate breakfast too because I was in a hurry to see her. I noticed she's keeping on glancing at me so I stared at her. "What?" I asked but she just smiled sweetly.

"Nothing! I'm happy that you're finally my man!" She squealed making me look away with a blush.

"W-well... I'm happy that you're mine now too." I shyly said making her giggle.

"You don't have to be shy on me but you really look cute being a little tsundere." She teased making me frown at her.

"I'm not a tsundere!" I whined making her laugh and pinched my cheeks.

"I love you!" She happily said which made my eyes widened a bit and looked away.

"I... I love you too." I finally said as I can feel my face heating up. I swear I am red as a tomato now!! Ryz gasped and stand up then she went to my side and leaned forward at me with surprised eyes "What did you say?!" She chirped which made me bite my lower lip in overflowing emotions inside me.

"I.. I... WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO DEAF?!" I suddenly yelled making her pout at me.

"Awwww... okay..." she frowned making me a bit guilty for yelling in a panic. She was about to turn and stand in her chair but I instantly grabbed her arm, pulling her towards me and kissed her making her froze in her place.

I withdraw the kiss and stare at her eyes intently "I love you, Ryz." I sincerely said without stuttering. Her shocked expression changed into a wide grin and suddenly hugged me tight.

"You finally said it to me!!" She happily exclaimed making me chuckle at her sudden joy.

"Sorry it took a bit long." I said but she just shook her head and pinched my nose.

"Waiting was worth it." She said and leaned her forehead on mine.

After our moment, we finished our breakfast and went to the guild together. I let her go to her friends while I went to our usual table at the side. My friends greeted me as I sat down with a smile plastered in my face.

"Here's our lover boy! So, how was your morning with Ryz?" Vile asked wriggling his brow at me.

"It was good." I replied making them grinned at me teasingly.

When they knew that me and Ryz are in a relationship, they were surprised as hell! They didn't expect me to actually like her because I was so desperate to get her out in my life. But oh well, I guess I was too focused on my belief of being single is more better that I ignored the hidden feelings I have with her. Maybe I was avoiding her because I knew that she will change my point of view about love.

Never in my life has anyone tried to do such efforts for me nor even stalk me. The stalking part was creepy but she's not a hardcore stalker that stalks me everyday and all.

Her efforts and patience changed my view about the emotion called love. But what is love? There's really no answer because it's unknown. You just love a person without a reason... you just love them for who they are.
