The Tiny Prince And A Big Girl

Chapter 4 The Fraud's Lies

As they were heading out first, Noa went to ask her boss to have some days off. Her boss agreed to her request. Then Noa was heading to the old wooden house where the old woman was. As Noa was walking, prince Norwin was standing on her shoulder and he told her about the curse but he did not tell about his loyal friend. He did not want her to know his horrible side. Noa trusted him and wanted to help him, She pitied him but more to herself.

Noa: My, what a loving son you are to your father trying to get back your family relationship. I envy you.

The Prince surely did not like his father but as a provider, His father spoiled him to the utmost. Still, prince Norwin did not want his father to get snatched. His father is his only family member.

Prince Norwin: it's not like that... But-

Noa: We are here!

Noa knocked on the door she felt delighted.

Old woman: Oh my, you are here! But didn't I tell you I will be locked until my daughter says, maybe she will realise and come back to me. I am living in their old cottage they are near us, you better go back.

Noa despises the daughter for treating her poor mother like that. Noa thought about how imbecile the daughter is but didn't dare to say in front of a poor old mother. Prince Norwin felt like this is a small matter than his and he wanted the matter get over quickly.

Prince Norwin: why be stubborn old woman, Your daughter must have forgotten your love. Why don't you live your life solely?

Noa whispered quietly at prince Norwin

Noa: keep quiet, you are making the matter worse.

Old woman: Oh, you made a friend, I am glad you are not alone anymore but your friend must not care about his parents.

Prince Norwin got angered by the old woman's words, he wanted to speak to her but suddenly Noa tapped his head. He noticed and hop into her bag
The lady came for her mother, She saw Noa.

Noble lady: What are you doing here? Who are you to speak to my mother?

The noble lady looked, middle-aged. Noa's anger washed away and she felt awkward. A young one giving advice to an elder one.

Noa: Umm... Y-you should not lock your mother inside, S-she cared for you since you were small.

Noble Lady: look, young lady. I am not locking my mother up it is just when the time comes I will welcome my mother, But I have a favour to ask of you.

Noa feels guilty for thinking bad about her, but she still didn't like the way the poor old woman's treatment. Prince Norwin took a peek at the lady. his thoughts were about how horrible she looked and nothing else.

Noble Lady: I do not want you to gloat anywhere especially in this neighbourhood, you are not fitted for this place. Keep quiet and do not come back here again.

Noa: I will not gloat but I shall come here.

Noa would feel alone if she could not meet the old grannie. The old woman would also feel alone but could not do anything but to please her daughter.

Old woman: it is ok dear, it was fun having you with me and I am delighted of what you have done for me. Maybe next time we will meet again as fate did to us before.

Noa felt upset at the noble lady for ruining the mothery relationship, the one who she opened up to. Noa wanted to take a look at the old grannie before she goes. Prince Norwin felt sad for Noa. he did not know why he was sad for her when all cares about himself.

Noa: Can I take a look at old grannie, please before I go?

The noble lady agreed and unlocked the door. Noa took a glimpse at old grannie, The old grannie looked so sweet. Noa suddenly hugged her, it felt cosy and warm. The old grannie hugged her back, The noble lady was irritated with noa's behaviour. The noble lady was mad at Noa because the noble lady did not hug her mother for years. Even the prince did not give a hug to his father. They bid their last farewell and Noa walked out with teary eyes, Prince Norwin felt weird he wanted to comfort her but at the same time, he did not want to. It was already awkward between them. If prince Norwin he comforts her, he would feel embarrassed. Suddenly, they both were stunned. Prince Norwin's doppelganger was meeting with a girl at the garden. She was miss Lora.

Noa: Hey! That is your doppelganger he looks so much like you!

Prince Norwin looked so speechless and he wanted to rip that fraud apart.

Prince Norwin: Noa! Follow them, I am going to teach that fraud a lesson!

The doppelganger and miss Lora were sitting at the gazebo in the garden with all the bushes behind them. Noa sneaked behind the bushes while prince Norwin in her bag with his head pop out. Prince Norwin is brimmed with anger thinking of a way to kill the fraud and the fraud's soldiers. He spoke quietly.

Prince Norwin: If I were back to my original form I would knock him down, draw my sword out and slice his throat up.

Noa: shhh... Let's hear their conversation.

Both of them were concentrating on hearing fraud and miss Lora's conversation.

Fraud: Oh, My heart seeks for out you dear. Would you let me stand by your side?

Miss Lora: You rejected me at first but now you took a liking of me.

Fraud: My dear, I was blinded and could not take a glimpse of your beauty.

Miss Lora: well, you seem gentle. I will gladly accept you.

Noa looked surprised and Prince Norwin was so furious at that fraud for ruining his reputation and for hurting his pride.

Prince Norwin: Who would love that jobbernowl! How could you make me! swallow my pride!
