Chapter 17: Chapter 17

I got up when I finished tying my hair and then went to the kitchen to prepare myself something to eat. Mom is gone so I have to get used to taking care of myself. .I also shouldn't think too much about what's happening to us because it will only affect me. Not at all times. We need to solve the problem. I just need time to think of a solution without stressing myself out.

After I ate I also went out. .Ly was waiting outside. I waved at him. I made sure the door was locked then I approached him. We walked to the university together.

"They looked like they don't want to leave you Vy. It's just Cassandra's appearance. It looks like she's planning something ..after you embarrassed him in the university lobby and allegedly scolded Luke. Cassandra must be even more angry with you. Be careful Vy. People like him are the ones who will turn you backwards if they can't face it, "Ly

.I sighed, "I know but I don't regret what I said Ly. He's too much. Not all the time he can embarrass me and hurt me. If he's planning something and whatever it is. I'll deal with that and resolve it in fair way even if he started dirty, "

.Ly just smiled at me until we got to university. There weren’t too many people yet because it was early so we decided to hang out at the library. It's also been a long time since I last went here. Ly and I sat down. .he was holding a notebook and reviewing while I stood up to look for a book to read.

I am looking for a book to read when I notice the book that contains the history of Ihmapuleya. I love history so I took that. .I was back in my seat with Lily when I saw Luke. He blocked my way. The smell of the wine on him made me back away.

"You drink Luke? You know it's forbidden to come in drunk!" I said angrily

"The hell I care with their f-cking regulations! I'm here for you Vy. Please. .forgive me my munchkin. I don't mean what I told you before, "his eyes spoke

But I was tough and determined. I don't want him to flirt with me not because of what he told me. I don’t want to instill resentment. .I don't like him anymore and that's reason enough for him to stop. It's not just that. I don't want him to enter my life because every time he approaches me. I know I'm getting even more into trouble because of Cassandra's jealousy of me.

I shook my head, "I thought you were going to change? .why don't you just fix yourself instead of forcing yourself on me? I know you Luke. Player! I know your agenda so stop that now because you have nothing to gain. Your insults to me are enough to keep you away and the reason I don't like you is enough for you to stop. .luke it's better to stop because that's the only choice you have left now. I'm sorry, "

I left him there just stunned. When I got to Lily and I's table. I asked him to leave immediately and outside explained why. He understood. .I entered my first subject and sat in my favorite spot when I noticed that I was still holding the book I got earlier. I just closed my eyes tightly.

"Urgh. I just forgot to let you know that I'm going to borrow this from the librarian. It will really scold me,"

.I just put the book in my backpack and decided to return it later. The whole day ended quickly. ..it was hard for me to avoid Luke again but I succeeded but I couldn't escape the hints of Cassandra's insults with her friend Tiffany that Ly and I both ignored.

"I'll be the first. Goodbye!" I waved at Ly

"Okay! If mom arrives later..I will come here after dinner. Let's do a movie marathon, you don't have to do anything here later. Bye Vy! "

I just laughed and then entered the house. As I have been accustomed to in a little while. .I just brewed coffee then went up to my room with my coffee cup and backpack to do my assignments then I will prepare dinner.

.I put the coffee cup on my study table then took my notes in the back when I noticed the book I took from the library earlier. I was just shaken.

"I forgot again,"

I took it out and put it on the table and then sat down. .I wiped the somewhat dusty cover of the book and read the title.

"History of the Great Kingdom of Ihmapuleya. Hmm. Looks like I haven't read it yet," I whispered.

.I love history but I admit that sometimes I forget to study my own culture because my attention is too focused on the culture of another country. .I opened the book and immediately the history of where man came from in our area, when the first palace was built, the first king and queen, the years of the war, and biographies of some heroes were built.

.'Due to great leadership, the once great general were appointed as the first ever king of Ihmapuleya, the Great Fernand Magnus Ashton I known as King Magnus become the most admired King of Ihmapuleya in ruling the land with passion, unity and bravery. .king Fernand Magnus II ruled the Ihmapuleya when his great father died in the war. He was also ---- '

Suddenly my heart beat faster at what I read. Ashton? Am I rolling my eyes? My last name is the first king of Ihmapuleya?

"H-no. Maybe it's just a coincidence," I whispered

.it is impossible for me to have a connection with the king of Ihmapuleya. Impossible really. We are just a simple family so it is really impossible. I continued reading and when I read what was on the last page I felt like I was out of breath.

.'But in 1980, in the term of King Magnus I, the palace were secretly attacked that unfortunately cost the life of Queen Amestine and their only newborn baby princess were kidnapped, Princess Samara Venice I ..the King Magnus was so devasted and hurt when he heard the news causing for him to feel depression that leads him into death. Because of this, the whole kingdom mourned. Currently, the Kingdom was ruled by the former King Fernand Magnus III '

My tears fell. S-samara Venice? .a-is he me? My parents? If I really am him. They are gone. I was shaken and forcefully denied that it might have been a coincidence but the tears in my eyes did not stop falling.

'cost the life of the Queen Amestine'

.'King Magnus was devastated ..... causing him to feel depression ... that leads him to death'

'Their only newborn baby were kidnapped .... Princess Samara Venice I'

"N-no .... Oh my god .... that's not true!"
