My Romeo {English version}

•°F o u r t e e n°•

• Narrated by Eunji •

After Youra leaves the room followed by Jun, I sit on the edge of my bed with Chan's letter in hand.  I wish I had said goodbye to him but I know that it would not be possible, my room was locked so that no one would discover the enemy prince and I was blacked out due to exhaustion.  If Chan came to my room to say goodbye, the situation would not end well.  I open the envelope and analyze the calligraphy written in blue ink, my eyes roam over his words that leave me emotional because of the longing.

"Dear Eunji,
I know I haven't left yet, but I miss you, little one.  I confess that sometimes I wish I didn't have to take over Butyzzel's throne just to stay here in Welyx with you.  Whenever I go back there I feel empty for not having you around, I know that your birthday is an opportunity to see you but it is little, very little.  I want to not have to leave, I have no choice and you know it.  I will try not to get caught, I will stay in the enemy kingdom one day but I will come back to you.  Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.  I love you, don't forget that!

With love and care,
Chan. ♡ "

I miss him already, we don't have much time to see each other.  Chan comes to Welyx only once a year which is on my birthday, his stay in my palace is only a month before he returns to Butyzzel because of his duties.  After finishing reading the letter I leave it on the bed and walk to the bathroom, when I enter I start undressing to take a shower that lasted about twenty minutes.  With the bath finished, I cover myself with the robe and walk to the closet, face my clothes and choose to wear a long dress with long sleeves, it is black and contains red and white details, the fabric is light what  it doesn't allow me to feel heat.  Along with the dress, I select a set of black lace underwear.  I dress myself in the closet, when I leave the place I run into Youra.

— How was your night?  — Youra questions me with a malicious smile on her lips.

— It was wonderful.  — when saying those words your smile increases more, I roll my eyes.  — Stop thinking nonsense Youra!  — she laughs.

— You make a beautiful Eunji couple, I support even though it is wrong.  — I sit on the chair in front of the dressing table after handing her my robe.

— That thought of yours is dangerous, I can't fall in love with it, we shouldn't even have the friendship we created.  I'm surprised to learn that we got so close at this speed, I think you contributed to that.  As dangerous as it may be, I intend to maintain this friendship with him.

I tell her that she smiles while doing makeup on me without having an answer.  We were silent for a while until she finished both my makeup and my hair.

— Will you teach me Trazyu class in the afternoon?

— Yes.

— What do you think of accompanying me for breakfast?  I ask him.

— Will you have no problem?

— Of course not.

I get up and walk out of the room being followed by Youra, we walk out of the palace where next to the pool, there is a very rich breakfast table.  I sit on one of the chairs at the end, with my head indicating the chair in front of me for the girl and watching her sit.  The time when my parents used to have breakfast had passed, I don't want to be alone and that's why I invited Youra, I like your company.

— Please help yourself.  — I say the girl who hesitates a little but starts to help herself.

— Good morning, girls.  — Donghun's voice is present in the environment, he does not seem to be bothered by Youra's presence at the table.

My cousin joins us by sitting on the chair to my left.

— Good morning Dong, how was your night? — I ask him.

— It was great, your party was amazing.

— I'm glad you liked it, what did Youra think?

— I agree with him, it was all incredible highness.

— Thanks to the servants, they worked hard for this and I am grateful.  Thank them for me Youra.

— Right.

— And your night?  How was it?  — Donghun questions staring at me.

— It was wonderful, I had a lot of fun and had no trouble sleeping.  — when saying that, Youra looks at me in an accomplice way and I take a sip of the tea that she had served me.

The coffee flows smoothly with light conversations, I notice my cousin looking several times at Youra's lips as she speaks, seeming to be interested in her.  When we finish the coffee Youra says that she will help her father with the white roses, I for not having anything to do, I say that I will help them after talking with Donghun.  As we walk hand in hand around the pool, I start the subject I'm interested in.

— I noticed the way you looked at Youra and something tells me that you have been looking at it that way for a long time.  — I say and direct my gaze to his face that outlines a shy smile.

— You noticed?  — I nod my head.  — I have had an interest in Youra for a long time but I never took an initiative.  I don't want to want her to stay with me out of interest.

— You need a queen right?  — he nods.  — I think Youra would be a good choice, she is friendly and polite, intelligent, competent and companion.  I don't think she would be a self-serving person.  — I say when I remember her story, she did not take advantage of the interest of the king of Trakzus to become queen or get another high position in the kingdom.  — You can talk to Chan about it, they've been very close for a long time.  Ask her to go out with you, so you can get to know each other better.  I support the couple, do you like her a lot?

— I venture to say that I am in love with Youra.  — says blushing after listening to me carefully.

— Think about it.  I will help you both with the white roses.

I approach him and standing on tiptoe, I put a seal on his cheek leaving towards Youra and his father without meeting.  I spend most of my day planting white rose seedlings to give more life to the garden, the loaded apple tree will serve as a contrast to the white of the garden in the future.  I find myself sitting across from Donghun at the lunch table that will start to be served, my father is sitting at one end of the table while the other end is occupied by my mother.  Next to my cousin the chair is empty as well as the chair next to me that should be occupied by Chan, the longing for my brother hits my chest again but when I remember that he will be with me at the end of the day that is when he  back, the feeling is softened.

— Sit down.  — I tell Youra who stares at me with fear.  — Sit Youra.

The girl sits next to my cousin with a cute, embarrassed smile on her face.
