Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Chapter 24

"Wake up darling," I removed Evin's palm tapping my cheek to go back to sleep.

I'm still drowsy. I might kick this man out of nowhere.

"Darling? Wake up. You will miss breakfast again you sleepyhead." I ignored him and smiled covering my face with a pillow.

I think it was only a minute later that I felt something strange.

"Darling, I'm hungry. I want a milk and a half cook egg with a fruit salad." I said and removed the pillow from my face.

"Okay, I'll get ready—"

"I want more?" I chased after him while closing my eyes.

I heard him laugh and it removed the blanket from my body.

"Come on, I'll take you to the hall." He said then lifted me up. I didn't moan anymore and kept my eyes closed while he smelled a little.

I came over here and smelled him again. Fuck what is happening to me?

"Ready her breakfast, two milk, two half cook eggs and two fruit salad."

"Noted your highness."

I felt him sit down but I stayed in his arms. He didn't let me go so why should I leave?

"Maybe I'll get rid of that smell." Evin laughed at me so I was sad to sit on his thigh.

"I'll just want to smell your scent." I told him.

I felt his hug on my waist then squeezed his face on my neck. He always like doing this position.

"I love your scent too."

"I haven't taken a bath yet darling. Stop me." I said here but he stiffened and did not remove his head from my neck.

" Brother! Brother!" I heard my sister Karmen shout so I turned in the direction where I heard her.

Is there a problem again?

"What?" Evin asked now removing his head from my neck.

"Princess Roseé and General Pierce are out there! Looking for Sezei! Keep her! They might take—"

"Sister!" I got up quickly and was ready to walk with Evin supporting me.

"Ate?" Ate Karmen asked in surprise, I would have answered if Evin had preceded me.

"Later Karmen." Evin chased before he picked me up and ran.

"Don't run! I'm dizzy putangina!" I yelled at him but he just laughed as he continued to run.

Omg! I hope I'm not mad.

"Sezei!" I heard my sister shout. Evin's pace slowed down before stopping and then I stood up.

"I'm with General Pierce—"

"So you are the lover huh? General Pierce? I have a question." I said while holding my sister's hand.

"Yes your highness?" I smiled at what he called me. Even though I am no longer a princess, there are still people who are loyal to me.

"Did you two have a physical contact -"

"Sezei!" My sister scolded but she ignored him.

"Answer me honestly General Pierce or I'm going to break your neck." I threatened here but of course just kidding.

"Don't answer Pierce—"

"Yes your highness." Pierce replied. I tightened my grip on my sister's hand and then beat it.

"Ouch!" He moaned.

"How long has General Pierce's sister been beating you up?" I asked as if I was angry.

"Because, what are you waiting for, why are you? I think Lord Evin beats you up almost every day and then you scold me? You're crazy!" My sister shouted and then beat me on the hand.

"Just kidding sister, I'm really happy for you." I laughed when he said this but he beat me again which made me sneeze.

"You're really crazy." You said making me even more upset.

"So why are you here?" Evin's initial question. I felt something squeeze my waist and I felt it was Evin so I just let it go.

"We need your help, Lord Evin." General Pierce replied. My sister told us this yesterday.

"We want to leave and stay away." Said my sister.

"Will you run away from father? What if the soldiers find you?" I asked here. I just don't want them to perish, maybe what else will father do to them will be difficult.

"I told most of the soldiers, the others I threatened that you yourself will be beheaded if they ever speak." I frowned at what my sister said.

"Alright, I'll prepare the chariot for you to use. It's up to you where you go." Evin told them.

"Thank you, we owe it all to you."

I felt my sister take my hand and put a small bottle in it.

What is it for?

"What's this sister?" I asked as I emptied the bottle.

"That's the cure, Papi gave it to me." He replied to my surprise. P-Papi?

"S-Si P-Papi? The ancestor of the g-guardians?" I stammered here.

"Yes he is." He replied making me smile. Its been a long time tho.

"Papi,"

"Yes? Your highness?" I heard his answer and my tears flowed.

I wiped it away as soon as I started sobbing softly. I felt Evin wipe away my tears.

"I thought you left me permanently. It's been 9 years Papi." I said as I tightened my grip on the bottle.

"I'm sorry your highness. There are only things I really need to finish." He replied.

"Darling? Who are you talking to? And what guardian are you saying?" Evin asked but I couldn't answer so my sister answered.

"Sezei and I are psychic.We can see guardians that you can't see."

"Drink it your highness." I heard Papi say so I smiled and nodded at it.

"Thank you Papi." I said before slowly drinking what was in the bottle.

It was a little sweet and sour but a bit thick. I ate it until there was nothing left in the bottle.

"How was it darling? Are you okay?" Evin asked but I suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Ahh." I moaned softly while holding on to my senses.

"Sezei!"

"Your highness!"

"Princess!"

"Darling!"

I was so dizzy that I just felt like I had fallen but I was caught immediately and then lost consciousness.
