CROWN PRINCE (2)

"Let me go!" Sakura said annoyed with his behavior.

''You didn't tell me your name yet, young lady, "he replied winking at her.

''It doesn't matter, does it? You are just a soul! Can you even search me, after knowing my name," she said harshly looking at him.

''Yes, you are right, I am just a lonely soul who hasn't made a friend in these years because no one can see me. I am sorry to bother you," he replied looking gloomy and sad.

Seeing him in this state she felt pity towards him. It might not be a bad idea to befriend him, she thought. He had a flirty nature, however was a gentleman. She missed having a friend who she could talk, laugh, gossip and share sorrows with. Like her best friend Laila in modern times.

Just as he was leaving, she called out to him and said, ''May I have the honor to be your friend, your Highness".

He turned back and smiled at her and replied, 'No need to call me your Highness, you can just call me Daiki after all, we are friends! What is your name?".

Though she befriended him she still didn't want to reveal her real name. A true and long-lasting friendship requires trust which can only be gained slowly. She told him a fake name that was 'Laila' as she couldn't come up with a new name so fast, hence, borrowed this current name for disguise.

''It's an abnormal name but pleasing to say," he replied. Of course, it was abnormal because it was a modern name, Sakura thought.

He didn't ask her about her background or history because he felt it might be too over the edge for their first meeting. He understood she didn't also want to talk about it either. He hoped one day she will open up to him.

It was a long time since she talked to someone nicely and that too with a good listener. They didn't  realize the time, but Daiki's soul was gradually fading away. He explained that he fades away during the evening and night and is yet not aware of the reason. They both bade each other goodbye. Sakura just then noticed and realized that her physical presence was already in the room. As Sakura was passing through the door of her room her mouth was watering looking at the snacks. She was more that ready to pounce on the snacks that was prepared for her. She really didn't want to miss out on food, as she was a big foodie She immediately attached her half soul by reversal spell. She stared at the pineapple pastry, grilled sandwich, orange juice and a bowl of soup, ravishing all of it in one go.

A few moments afterwards, Sakura sensed her sister coming towards her room and realized she was to go home today. She frowned thinking about the delicious food she was going to miss, forgetting that she herself was a five-star chef. She also remembered Daiki who would always remain here and swore if she had a way to bring him back to life she would probably try. Sakura suddenly remembered a way, however,  it required of her to be at Mars Realm. She thought that she would go home and make life better for herself and Yua so that they would not be bullied anymore. She was worried about the unknown person, he wouldn't stalk her, always right? If he does, she needed to control him. Not being herself was a torture to her, but she had to bear it until she doesn't become strongest of all.
