Chapter 11 (Kiss)

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't understand what the hell is going on? I rush towards the physician who was sitting next to Reece and attempting to stop him from bleeding out. I give him the sponge and just stood there trying to process what the hell I'm seeing.

"W-What happened?" I stutter. I couldn't believe what was happening.

"Some noblemen shot Prince Reece with an arrow! He is rotting in jail now." He exclaims. Noblemen? Who the hell would hurt there own prince?

"Please get out young lady, this is no place for a young lad like you." He says softly as if to reassure me that the prince will be alright.

I take in the scene in front of me and slowly walk out of the room. He was bleeding! He was unconscious! What kind of monster could do that? I look at my hands which held a silver plate with bloody sponges in them. I dispose of it and walked down the corridors. I could hear whispers and was about to ignore it until I heard it had something to do with the prince.

"Did you hear that the prince got shot with an arrow?!" I could feel a lump from inside my throat.

"I know! That's what everyone has been talking about! Do you know who did it?" I listen carefully this time hoping they would tell a name.

"No! Who do you think would have done such a thing?"

"You know that noblemen who were rumored to be punched by prince Reece?" What? No way! It cant be!

"Of course! What about him? Don't tell me-"

"Yes! He is the one who shot Prince Reece! He is in jail for all his life because of such a dirty act!" No...

"Of course he has to be! He in fact must be killed!" I couldn't hear anymore and rushed towards my bedroom. I sit on the bedroom floor thinking about what I just heard.

"He is hurt because of me! It is all because of me!" I was sobbing. I couldn't stop. It's all because of me.

"And if he doesn't wake up-" I couldn't stop crying. I was not only crying because prince Reece is injured, but I was also crying because of all the information I have obtained the past few days. I just let it all out.

"I must be the unluckiest person in the world!" I am.

For the next few days, I insisted on Miss Noe that I take care of Prince Reece while he stays unconscious. She let me so I have been doing the same thing these past few days. I go up to his bedroom and with a wet hot towel, I put it in his forehead and massage the rest of his body so that they don't remain stiff.

I then admire his face and prays he wakes up soon for at least half an hour. After that, I clean his room and open the curtains hoping the sunlight would make him feel a little better.

I thought the same thing would happen today but god has to test me doesn't he? I go to his chambers to find him missing. Yes. Missing. Where the hell can an unconscious man be? I run downstairs and warn the guards. The rest of the castle looks for Reece anywhere inside the Castle and then I remembered.

He has a secret escape route. I go to the wall door or hidden door doesn't know exactly what it is. I open it and its black inside, it is so dark you could only see black. I lit up a torch and try to find Reece I go till the cave and when I couldn't find him I try to go back.

As I was turning around a hand came and took my waist while another blocked my mouth, this made me drop the torch and I immediately bit my intruder.

"Ouch!" I can recognize that voice anywhere. I turn around and look at Reece.

"You bit me!" He says while sucking on the finger I bit on.

"And you scared the hell out of me!" I whisper scream.

"What the hell are you doing here in the first place! Everybody is looking for you in the palace!" I hit him in his arm.

"That's my hurt arm! Owww!" Oh shit.

"Shit! I'm so sorry..." I whisper out of guilt.

Then He starts laughing! The audacity of him to start laughing at a situation like this!

"Why the hell are you laughing?! How can you laugh at a situation like this!" He pauses to look at me with amusement in his face.

"It's just that you hurt me twice today within like 30 seconds," He says this while he still laughs.

"That's why you are laughing? I don't get it?" I say curiously.

"It's just that your too cute to handle" He smirks.

A blush starts creeping in my cheeks but the try to bend my head down a little bit so that he does not notice.

"Now is no time to joke! Do you know how worried I was? You just disappeared after we fought and then you return with an arrow on your shoulder as a souvenir-" I scream at him.

"About that I-" I cut him off.

"Let me finish! After you not only get shot but are unconscious for 3 days straight You sneak out!? What the hell is wrong with you? Do you not think about anyone but yourself?!"

"What if you were gone huh? What would the people in this kingdom do? And what would have happened to me if you were gone huh? I couldn't sleep for three days because you were hurt!" This time I was sobbing.

"Do you know How afraid I was How terrified I was to even think that I was going to lose y-"

He pulls me by the waist and cups my cheek with one hand then he...

He kisses me.
