I sat there and ate my meal in silence as Mr. Gabs continued talking to me about this and that. I only gave the perfunctory responses that were needed as I ate my sandwich. The only thing I can say that was good about this situation was the food. It was very good. So I will definitely come back again. “So then he said, how can you have so many!? Haha! Funny, right?”

“Mhmm…” I have no idea what he was just talking about. Who said what and the what now? I should just hurry up and eat. For some reason, he doesn’t even realize I wasn’t paying attention at all. Which means he was not even paying attention to me. For some reason, that irks me. I mean, I do not like him in that way, but as a girl, you would think the handsome guy across from you would at least pay attention to you if they take you out to eat. He is probably a narcissist.

After twenty minutes of listening to stories that I still have no idea what they were about, I finally finished my meal. “The food here was delicious. Now, if your HIghness does not mind, I should probably be heading to the inn, so I can settle in.” 

I quickly stood up and bowed towards Prince Lance before turning to leave. But who would have thought that the stupid prince would grab his sandwich and also stand up, following me out? How am I supposed to say nicely I do not want to be around you without sounding so rude that I would lose my head? Things were much simpler when I could just wave my hand and blow people up. For one thing, there is no way in hell that you will see me dating a prince in the first place that would be a career ender for me. Those royals would never let me become a commander! My dream would go out the window, so if this is his aim, then I am sorry, but please leave me alone! 

I want to live free, and if I were to marry one day, I will not marry royalty. They have too many rules of can’t do this or can’t do that. That is unless I was queen. Then things would be different, hehe…  If I had rule over a country, I would be sure to make it a free place with laws that are only there to protect the people living there. Set up institutions for learning and promote innovation to its finest. Sadly I do not think that will ever happen unless I go and take a country of my own…. Not such a bad idea…. I pursed my lips and tapped my chin.  _-.

If I were to take over a country, I would need to be sure the ones ruling it are people who are bad people. Maybe I should wipe out the Norian Kingdom’s royal family and reform the whole country? But would I even be capable of ruling a country of my own? I am far too green. As it is now, I do not even have the power to fully command an army. I hope that going to the academy will prepare me for everything. I want to be someone who is able to command those under me to win every battle without losing a single man. I know not losing a single man is wishful thinking, but I can dream, right?

“Ouch!” My thoughts broke off when I heard a yelp from my side. I turned to see Prince Lance holding his hand, staring at Little Bell, who was looking at him with a fierce expression. “Little Bell?” 

“This human tried to touch you. Bad humans should stay away.”  Little bell’s puffed out cheeks, and pursed lips look so cute and funny.

“Pfft! Hahaha!” I couldn’t hold it in. Little Bell was the perfect prince deterrent. I am sure Little Bell had picked up on my feelings of not wanting to be close to the prince. Which stemmed from many reasons but to think he went as far as to try to touch me. 

“Wh…. Why…. Why is there a spirit here!?” Prince Lance couldn’t help but yell out but quickly realized his mistake and covered his mouth. He turned and looked at the guards who were surrounding us and gave them a nod. 

The next thing I know, all the people in the area were starting to be detained. “What are you doing!?”

“What do you mean? There is a spirit here. These people who saw it all need to be detained until it is safely back in its domain! If anything were to happen to the spirit, it would destroy ou….”

“Prince Lance, if I may be frank, I am sorry, but you are going about things wrongly.” I shouted, interrupting the idiot. “First, you should have asked me why I have a spirit with me, secondly, you should never oppress the people who are innocent. You are the crown prince and someone who is destined to take over the rule of this country. If you can’t even handle a situation like this calmly, how the hell can you become king!?” I know I was way over the line, but this was the final straw. I can handle it if he is ordering me around and dragging me here and there, but I can not allow him to actually detain innocent people who have done nothing wrong. I waved my hand, and multiple barriers began to surround the people the guards were about to try to capture, blocking them from being able to touch them. 

“Faith, what are you doing!? Are you trying to rebel!?” Prince Lance was not even listening to what I was saying. 

“Rebel!? I am stopping an idiot prince from doing something stupid. Little Bell is under my care. The spirit leader himself asked me to take care of her.” I shouted back. 

“Yeah yeah! Bad human! Bad! I stay with Faith!”  Little Bell yelled out in a small voice.

Prince Lance stared at me in disbelief before looking back and forth between Little Bell and me. “This….” 

“It is not like I was hiding it. It is just that Little Bell does not like other people, so normally she is hiding in my hair, looking around. Even Adel can’t touch her.” I explained slowly before waving my hand once more and removing the barriers. “So do you see now that what you were doing was not the right course of action?”

I watched as Prince Lance held his head and waved his hand motioning to the guards to stand down. “I see I did act out of line just now.” 

Under my shocked gaze, Prince Lance bowed his head to the people he was about to arrest.  “I apologize for my rash actions. If anyone was hurt just now, please let me know. I will pay all doctor fees. As compensation, I will give each of you two gold coins.”

Two gold coins! Give me four! In all seriousness, I am quite shocked at how quickly his attitude changed. He was willing to admit his mistakes and even compensate those involved. I guess he does have a few prince like qualities to him. 

“Faith, I owe you for stopping me, and I apologize for yelling at you just now. I acted rashly out of fear. As you know, a spirit is like the achilles heel of our kingdom or any kingdom for that matter. They can determine if a kingdom lives or dies. If you did not stop me just now, things might have turned even worse. Not only would I have harmed innocents but also would have caused a spirit to become angry with the kingdom.” I never thought a day would come when I would get such a sincere apology from a prince, no less.

“It’s fine. I just did what I should have. I apologize for my rudeness.”  I let out a sigh of relief. I guess this will be a lesson for us all. And it also shows just how much the prince worries about this kingdom. He was about to sacrifice the few and his own reputation in order to keep Little Bell safe and protect the kingdom. This is very noble of him, so I can not fault him on that, but it was just how he went about it.

“Now then….” I figured while we were at it, I would ask a very important question. “Why were you trying to touch me, a fair and pure maiden in the middle of the street?”

“Cough!” Prince Lance seemed to have choked on air. “I was just trying to shoo away a bug that was on shoulder….”

“Liar! Bad human liar! Tried to hug her, you did! Liar! Liar! Liar!” Little Bell’s voice came from inside my hair, causing me to chuckle. The one and only one in the whole kingdom besides the royal family who can say what they want to the crown prince without needing to worry about being beheaded. I guess this extends to me now that I am Little Bell’s caretaker?
