Chapter 36

"Love what you're doing instead of competing in order to be successful,"
Chapter 14.1
Vy's POV
I blinked as the lip stared at him in pity. Is this real? I just confessed to him earlier in the mind that I like him and then he confessed to me that he likes me too?
I was about to speak when his cellphone suddenly rang. He swam quickly and answered the call.
"Yes? ..... I'm somewhere. Why? ..... Okay. I'm coming,"
I expected it to be awkward but when he turned to me and smiled. I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought we could never talk properly.
"I'm sorry lady blue but we have to go. I have ... an emergency,"
I smiled back at him, "It's okay. I'll just get dressed for a moment,"
He sneezed then turned around, "The clothes were on the bench. Tell me if you got dressed,"
"O-okay,"
I went up naked and used my old clothes to dry myself then took the clothes that were placed on the bench. Simple floral dress up to my knees. When I finished I called him.
"I'm okay. You get dressed," I whispered to him
"Alright,"
I sighed when he suddenly came out of the water. I could clearly see her bare back. I averted my eyes before he caught me fucking him.
'What about Vy ?!'
I close my eyes emphatically. The image of her body came back to my mind. Undoubtedly, his body is very well -shaped from behind. How about if it's up front?
I bit my lip and shook my head. I'm going crazy! When else have I learned to lust after a man's body?
"Are you okay lady blue? Your face is red," luhence
I was startled when he held my arm. He left immediately as if he had been burned.
"I'm sorry,"
"H-huh? Sorry where?" I wonder question
"For touching your arm. I saw you flinched. Do I make you uncomfortable?" There was fear in his eyes
I was dazed. Huh? I was just surprised by his presence, "Luhence you don't make me uncomfortable. I'm just really surprised,"
He sighed, "Still. By the way. I'll take you home now. It's late and you need to rest. Let's go," he smiled at me
We both walked to his car. We just kept quiet until we got home. He said goodbye and left immediately. It seems important that he is going because he is in a hurry.
The wind blew me away when what he said earlier came to my mind again. He wants me. Is this real?
He hadn"t opened up yet about what he said and I also couldn"t speak because my mind occupied his bare back. When I remembered that, my cheeks got hot.
He had a sexy back though
I just shook myself. I had so many problems that I even managed to covet Luhence's body. I walked into the house but noticed a flower and an envelope on the doormat. I took it and opened it.
I'm sorry munchkin. Forgive me.

Luhence's POV
"What's happening? Why father called me?" I asked, a bit annoyed
Hearing from them that I'm going to marry Princess Christine when the Ihmapuleya still can't find the lost princess was surprising. I knew from the very first that she'll probably take the place of being the Filifia's Queen before but I still can't help but to feel annoyed.
Does it really fricking matter who I'm gonna marry?
Does it really necessary to a crown prince like me marry a woman who had a title?
Because damn! It's starting to get into my nerves. Before, it's okay if they want me to marry that lost princess but now that I found Vy? My lady blue? I can't!
I can't fricking imagine myself myself marrying a woman other than her. I don't know why but I really liked that woman a lot. I can't stand not seeing her once a day anymore. She's like goddamn drug.
Addicting and wrong
I'm getting obsess on what she thinks about me. Does she find me attractive? Does she likes me too? I wanted to know. So badly. That I asked her. I wanted her answer but that infuriating call interupted me from knowing the answer I'm dying to hear. I'm so damn pissed. Now! I can't even know how to start a conversation again with her without getting awkward. I proceed inside the mansion-palace style property and Princess christine immediately greeted me. I bow at her.
I'm pissed but she has nothing to do with this. I know she likes me but I know she doesn't like the idea of ​​marrying me. I treated her like a sister and I know she likes someone else. She's just indenial. She plastered her big sweet smile.
"What's happening? Where's Dad?" I asked
"He was talking inside with the officials. You're late so they decided to start it without you," Princess Christine
We both sat in the elegant and expensive sofa. We were facing each other, "I heard that they still couldn't find the princess. So I already prepared myself to be announced as your fiancé. I'm excited about it! I'll get rid of that man too!" There's a hint of irritation on her voice
I frowned, "Who's man? Prince Cedric? Your supposed to be husband?"
She nodded disappointedly, "Yeah. Anyways. Where have you been? I notice you're always away from the palace?" She sipped her tea
"Somewhere," I answer
Somewhere where my heart wants
Princess Christine was beautiful with her chestnut soft curls, cream skin and amber eyes. She's undeniably attracted but she don't affect me as much as Vy's doing to me. Nothing can beat Vy"s stunning eyes. Her perfect electric big blue eyes, pale skin, diamond blonde straight hair, red pouty lips, pointed nose and tall stature. Anyone could mistakenly indentified her as a princess.
If she only wear royal gowns that princesses wore.
I suddenly become curious. What would she be like If she wore a princess gown? She will be the most beautiful woman I will ever seen. I was snapped out of my thought when Princess Christine called out my name.
"W-what? What is it again?" I asked
She raised her perfect brow, "Are you okay? You're spacing out my fiancé,"
I cringe. Damn! I hate it. My mood immediately switches from calm to irritated. I stood up and looked straight into her curious eyes.
"I have to go. I'm already tired. Excuse me princess christine,"
She blinked, "P-prince Dwig ---,"
I walked away but before I turn. I looked back at her, "I don't want to be rude but .... don't call me fiancé. You'll not going to be my bride,"
Vy's POV
I just sighed and then went inside the house with the envelope and flowers. I put it on the coffee table and then sat on the sofa. I also stared at it for a while.
"What do you really need from me Luke? Why don't you just stop?" I whispered
I leaned my back on the sofa and closed my eyes. I remembered Luhence again and for no apparent reason. I smiled. He confessed. He admitted he liked me and I didn't say anything back. I felt disturbed. If it wasn't for that call, I might as well admit it to him.
"What did he like about me?" I whispered to myself
I bit my lip so hard to stop the wide smile from flashing across my face. I applied my hand to my heart with a strong throb. I thought. Do I just really like luhence? Or even more there? Am I falling for him?
My heart beat faster at that idea. What if I'm really falling for him? Will he catch me? For a moment I felt doubt and fear. I"m not in love yet and based on what I hear. Not all in well leads. There are others who are not loved so they are very hurt. Some have lost themselves and worst of all others have committed suicide. I don"t want to end up like that.
I was just shaken and erased from my mind the ideas that came into my mind. I will first think about the problem I am facing now and put aside how I feel about luhence. I know someday.
If we were. Destiny will meet us no matter how difficult the situation.
That line is scratched but I believe.

I stretched before going into the bathroom and taking a shower. Then I wore black highwaist jeans and a white sweater with a high neckline. I sat in the mirror and tied my hair in a ponytail. I couldn"t help but stare into my blue eyes and strange hair color. It somehow make me different from the rest. Others thought I was coloring so they didn"t pay attention to my appearance.
I also don"t wear clothes like dresses, skirts, shorts and heels even make-up so that I don"t become distracted by others. Especially with men. Luke is just a headache, what if his peers increase him. So I always tie my hair and wear less attractive clothes so I don"t get noticed.
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 her in the university lobby and Luke allegedly scolded her. I'm sure she's even more angry with you by Cassandra. Be careful Vy. People like her 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 alcohol 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 won't get anything. Enough. that your insults to me to keep you away and the reason enough that I don't want you to stop. Luke you better 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'll come here after dinner. Let's do a movie marathon after all 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 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 the biographies of some heroes were immediately revealed to me.
'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!"
