Tzuyu's pov

"And why would I thank him? Im not going! it's too expensive."

I thought as he still leaning at the door's edges, I just look at him with such questions in my eyes as I badly want to escape this woeful reality of mine. I don't know why but I kinda wish for my bullies to just kill me instead. This scratches are just a piece to cake to handle with. There's more hurtful than this.

"Why would I?"

My voice cracked a little for being slept a half a week. I didn't knew that I can sleep this long. Most probably I slept by 12:00 or 1:00 in the midnight because of studying, listening to the music or just the downcast thoughts that cant be pleased to rest for a while and just bug me next time.

"I help you, you're invited, if you want to contrast my words, expect the worst."

This arrogant prince is so manipulative! I held my hand because of too much pressure that I had been processing right now. I even bite my bottom lip because my nervousness attacked me right away. I just nod at him but then id rather locked myself up and just watch the drama that I have been interested in.

"Good, better keep your assurance or you'll kick out of this school."

"Well, its better than what I expected!"

I mumbled but then I look away, not caring that Anastasia and Minako is watching at both of us right now. Its better to be kicked out than to stay in this school and then get controlled by the arrogant and rude prince.
"Its not better because you'll gonna blacklisted in other school as well, either in local or international. Even if you have a high grade in this school, you'll gonna blocked from coming to other school. You don't want that right?"

I sigh and close my eyes, I am a home person but then this arrogant prince really did want me to shoot in trouble and gave me a headache for the cost and expenses for just a ball.

"Okay okay, Ill go."

I sarcastically cried as I slap my own head but nothing even snapped hard or hurt me. Huh?

I look up and saw Minako holding my wrist while Anastasia held my head carefully. My eyes widen as the eyebrows of mine was quirked up. Their eyes are full of cautious and protective emotion that spread to their pupils.

"You have a bondage on your head and you want to hit it? Are you insane Chou Tzuyu?"

Oh! I forgot!

I blinked several times before I let down my own hands. Minako slowly loose her hands through my wrist as Anastasia's hands are still in my head. I look at her saying that she should detach her hands into my head but then she really did deny it and even caress it.

"Stop it Duchess Anastasia. Cinnamon, since you've been awaken from the deep slumber of yours, you can go and discharge."

Because of the cold voice of this arrogant prince, Anastasia gradually let go of my wounded head. She even shut up her mouth and didn't even say anything. 

I just bob my head while my face is somewhat emotionless. Thinking of why he called me cinnamon? Without looking at him, I literally acknowledge him by nodding at him. Oh I must thank them, even though he's haughty and overbearing, machiavellian and monopolizing, at least he saved my life.

"Ah wait."

I mumbled as I twist my own fingers because of too much nervousness. I look at him and swallow my saliva. "Thank you, for everything."

-----------------------------------------------------------

As I wear the uniform that Anastasia gave to me, I tiptoed to our farmhouse until in my room, I open the door and I was surprise that Aunt Yoonjin are sitting on my bed right now. I sigh, I already knew it, that's why I already hide the invitation that the arrogant prince gave to me earlier. I dont want to attend, Call me stubborn or what. Im a home person and Id rather just lay or sat than go out.

"Auntie...."

I bubbled and went to her side where in her eyes were full of tears. I touch her shoulder as she immediately hit my waist. My brain already react on how it hurts. 

"Auntie!"

"You didnt tell me that youve been bullied. That's why you really did want to transfer to another school."

I smile a little, knowing that aunt yoonjin will probably worried about me at all times. 

"By the way, the ball is coming and the lost princess' sister will come. Did you got any invitation?"

Why did she suddenly mention that event? I really did want to go though.

I just shake my head, sign that its a no. "Its okay auntie, Ball is just for the rich and royal people okay?"

"Were rich Tzuyu, you just dont want to show it to them. This farmhouse? You know that its really not our house but we pick this farmhouse to be peaceful, to let go of you uncle's death right?"

I look down, knowing that I already miss my uncle Ilsung who died for unreasonable death hurts me. He treated me like im her true daughter since aunt yoonjin cant impregnated. 

"You have plenty of money but you didnt waste it, I put you in Jeon University not because you're a scholar but I paid it because it's your uncle's dream to put you in there. You know that right?"

I nod as I lean my head unto aunt yoonjin's head. I know that she's not boastful to her money and she's actually humble. While uncle Ilsung literally boast it every second but you know what? I miss my big bro as the same time my aunt and father.

"So dont think about like that, they may think of you as a poor but for me and your uncle at the clouds, you're will is farther than richest."

I smile to her and I straightaway hug her. Its been three days since I saw her, It such a relief that I have an Aunt that will guide you notwithstanding your obstacles in life. Just like what happened to me. I just hope this is the last.
