Chapter 51

' Oh yeah I did hear everything. I can't believe you
stand here and gossip about the two Princes of the country. Do you have any idea where you might end up if I take any action?"
'We are so sorry, Prince Young, please forgive us." They pleaded.
' But why would you all gossip here. Are you bothered about me spending time with Gianna?" I asked and one of them stepped out.
' Of course, we are bothered. She's been flirting with you and Waylon and she has the guts to go after the new boy at school too. She's got a really bad energy."
'I wouldn't argue with you on the last part but then you shouldn't just say stuffs you don't have much idea about. She isn't flirting with me and neither is she my mistress. She's just someone I like to keep around and the next time I hear any of you bad mouth me or my brother or Gianna, I won't let you go freely. You speak against her…you speak against me too. I hope I'm clear." I said with seriousness and they nodded with shivers.
'Good…now I'll let you go this time around, the next time I hear such rumors amongst any one of you. I'll be sure to keep you mute for the rest of your lives. Before you leave, I want you girls to be my eyes and ears, if you hear anything silly on campus make sure to inform me okay." I said to them.
' We are honored your majesty…we promise to let you know if anyone tries to spread any false rumors concerning you, Waylon or Gianna." They said with a chorus.
'Stop with the 'your majesty" just call me Prince Young Tae, that will be alright."
'You may take your leave now." I said to them and they bowed before leaving.
Ah!! I'm going crazy…why am I even bothered if they said anything bad about that sassy girl.
What at all was she doing with that half Canadian new student?
I just hope Waylon will get her today so I'll find out about what really is bothering her. She isn't that strong after all.
I was on my way to my block when I saw her from the distance.
'Hey!ian-ah!!" She shouted my name as she came running to me.
' I'm your master and you should address me with respect." I snapped at her.
'No matured master will do what you did." She snapped back at me.
'What did I do?"
'You went around telling them we spent the night together and now it's all over campus!" She said
with furry and all the students began to flood around us.
This is my chance to get back at her.
' What…but it's the truth… We spent the night together and you slept so well in my arms. 'I blurted out and all the students gasped.
'I never slept comfortably in your arms. Not even in your dreams!" she yelled at me, but I chuckle.
'here take a look at it(I showed her a picture of her and I with her head on my shoulder) see I even have proof about it." I said to her thinking it will get her but then she spoke back.
' This is not true, I will never…"
' Just admit it Gianna, see it's clear. You can't deny it that your mine, can you?" I said laughing so hard in my head. I actually took that picture at the hospital when she was fast asleep.
'You…you…" she couldn't talk, and I sent my arms wrapping around her neck.
'Come on we've got to go." I said pulling her along with me ignoring the other student's reaction.
'I will Kill you." She said with clenched teeth.
'Oh no you can't. This is just the beginning." I whispered to her and you should've seen the look on her face.
Ahh this feels so good.
….….
….GIANNA….
I heard it all, when he told the Queen that it was his fault that the accident occurred. Why did he say that? Why did he take the blame?
Does he really want to torment my life so much that he takes the blame, so I'll still be his maid? Oh, this boy is heartless and mean.
'So, what will you be doing during vacation?" Zoe's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
'Huh the vacation…it's just some days, away right? Well I guess I'll be helping my mother at the noodle shop." I replied, and she nodded but then a voice interrupted us.
'You will be leaving with me in the Castle. Have you already forgotten that you are my maid?" It was that annoying prick of a Prince. He walked towards us and sat beside me on the bench as he
crossed both arms and legs with his eyes focused on something from afar.
'Huh?" I asked, and he turned towards my direction.
'I said you will be leav…"
'Yeah I heard what you said earlier there's no need to repeat it." I interjected making Zoe giggle softly.
'Then why did you go huh?"
'Just couldn't believe my ears that's all. Hearing you say it twice makes it sound scary… I can't believe I'm stuck with you throughout the vacation. Hurrrgh can't my life get any worse!!"
' It was already worse."
'Hey! It got worse the very day I came across you." 'I never asked you to come across me."
'Oh, you are so unbearable!"
' I never said I was bearable…besides I'm not a bear."
'Ah… You really drive me crazy!"
' I think it's a good thing you have the crowned Prince driving you crazy."
' You are so…Ah forget it." 'No…I don't want to."
'Then go ahead and think about it." 'I never said I would."
' Get ready, we will be leaving in four days' time."
'But the school doesn't close until next week Wednesday which makes it six days from now."
' I know but then you'll have to leave earlier." 'Why is that?"
'Because you're my maid/personal assistant." 'I have a paper on Saturday."
'I do know your last paper for the semester is on Friday."
'Have you been digging up information about me?"
'No, I don't have time for that, I was just told that's all."
'By whom?"
'No need to know."
' Then why did you tell me?"
'I didn't tell you, I just said it out." 'Hey!"
'What…you know I'm your master right? So, threat me with some respect."
'And if I don't?" 'You will regret it."
'Then I won't go with you to the Castle." 'Of course, you will."
'No, I won't."
'I know you love ice cream and we've got a lot there."
' Thinking you can convince me with ice cream? What I'm I? Nine?"
'Okay, then I won't let Ma'am Cheong give you her delicious sandwich."
'Wow I love sandwich."
'Then will you come with me?" 'No, I won't."
'You will" 'I Won't"
'You won't?"
'I will."
'Gotcha!!" he said out loud with excitement and laughed.
'Why is he…" I turned and Zoe was already gone. When did she leave?
'I got you. You just said you will when I asked if you won't…You must surrender now Gianna. Admit it, you are no match for me." He said with his arms in both pockets, brought out his phone and played the audio and he was right, I just said 'I will".
'You…you…you are such a cunning Prince." 'Thank you."
'Ah!!" I yelled as I took my bag and headed for my dorm.
There she sat, leg crossed with a wine glass in between her fingers as she sipped the wine.
'Zoe-ah…" 'Huh?"
'Why did you leave earlier and never told me you were leaving?"
' You seemed busy withian."
'Busy…that dude just made me agree to go with him to the castle and he even has an audio of it."
' That'sian for you, he sure has some cunning ways in making you submit to his will."
'He does?"
' I thought he just used it on you?" she asked as she turned her neck a little to my direction.
'Yeah… he did."
' No one knows how he does it but then you should avoid constant argument with him because that's how he mostly gets you. I've been a victim for countless times." She replied placing the wine on the table gently.
'If I'm going to spend the vacation at the Castle then I have an advantage too."
'Really?"
'Yeah…I'll get to see you and Waylon often." 'Exactly, so you see…there's a bigger advantage."
' I just hope he doesn't make me work till I'm worn out."
'Aww I hope so too. Come here my dear baby girl." Zoe said as she pulled me for a warm hug.
' What's with the wine glass?" I asked after we disengaged the hug.
'Oh, about that. I was just doing some live stream video. They wanted to see you in it but then I told them you were occupied for the main time." She replied, and I nodded.
'Oh Okay."
' Join me so we can do a live stream video when we get to the Castle okay. We will do a lot and I'll let Sandra join too. She's already an IG goddess. You should see how people troll over her pictures."
'I bet you two have amazing IG moments together."
'Oh yeah, but it's always incomplete because you are hardly around." She said with those puppy eyes.
The days past so quickly that I could hardly recall anything. I was in my dorm packing my stuff for the castle when I heard the doorbell.
' I will get it!" Sandra said as she ran from the kitchen to the door.
'I bet it's going to be a message from Prince Tae Tae…" Yeah that's how she callsian now.
'Gianna! I think you should hurry." She said from the doorway.
'He is waiting for you outside the dorm in his car." Sandra said to me.
'I'm really going to miss you. The nights will be lonely without you." She cried.
'I won't get someone to kick my ass off of the bed when I'm late for my paper." Zoe added as they both hugged me.
' Have you told Mason about you leaving for the Castle?" Zoe asked.
'Yeah, he's also waiting for me in front of the dormitory. I'll talk to him first before I leave. My mom was happy that I got to be the personal maid and that I will be staying at the Castle.
'I think this is the only way to pay the King for his generosity." Those were her words and I think she's right.
Sandra and Zoe escorted me outside and I saw a silver colored Chevrolet Malibu parked outside the dorm. Behold there he stood with and I paused when I saw who he was talking to.
'Mason?"
'Uh…sis." He said as he hurried to myside and took my bag from my hand.
'Let me help you with this. You are so lucky to be staying at the Castle." He said to me and I shook my head sideways.
' I'm going to stay there as his maid not as a Princess, there's no luck in that."
' Do you have any idea how many people will kill to be in your shoes right now. You'll get to see this handsome face all day long."ian interjected, and I scoffed.
'Handsome face?... Who lied to you?" I asked, and Mason seemed to be stunned.
'Gianna…why are you being rude towards him?" Mason asked me, and I chuckled.
' Are you siding with him now?" I asked Mason who stepped back as I took a step towards him.
' Tha… that's not what I tried to mean. I mean you could be in deep trouble if anyone hears you and
reports you to the King."
' Yeah you are right but then he's used to it." I replied turning toian who twitched his lips and slowly frowned.
'Enough you two." Zoe snapped and I was startled. She cleared her throat and smiled.
'I wish you both a safe journey (turns to me) I'm going to miss you baby doll…I'll join you soon okay." She added as tears began to well up in her eyes.
' I'm going to miss you my sweet sassy wild orchid. I'm going to miss smacking your head." Sandra said in between sobs.
'Ah…no wonder I can't understand women. It's not like she's going to die." Mason blurted out making the three of us glare at him.
'Sorry…sorry…I didn't mean it that way." He apologized as he stepped back.
'Bye girls…I'll make sure to call you before school closes. I can't believe we all finishing writing our papers today and yet I'm leaving ahead of you." I cried, and they sobbed more.
They finally let go and I turned toian who had zero emotion on his face…what was I even expecting from a cold natured dude.
'Keys?' I asked stretching my hand.
'I brought a chauffeur…come on, sit in the back seat with me." He said as he opened the car door for me to sit down.
Woah…he's acting strange, first he brought a chauffeur and now he's offering to open the car door for me to sit down? Did he hit his head on something? Did Waylon tell him about the cause of my trauma? No…I don't think so.
' Don't have any silly thoughts, I'm just avoiding another accident. I can't bear to die by your way of
driving." He blurted out as if he was reading my mind.
He joined me at the backseat and I waved them goodbye as the car drove off.
' Your room has been prepared, Athenag will show you to your room and Ma'am . will give you your list of chores. Also remember that you must make sure to always give good feedbacks to my parents."
' And what if I don't?"
'Ah…you little…please do it for me okay, I'll make sure to let you spend the weekend with your family and also have Sandra come over to visit you okay. Do we have a deal?"
'Eh…I will think about it." I said with a smirk.
He just stared at me, pursing his lips as if he was trying to hold back his words.
We soon arrived at the Castle and the chauffeur pulled over right in the Royal Parking lot.
I stepped out of the car and was about to take my belong from the car's boot when two handsome men approached me.
' Good afternoon Ms. Han. Please leave that to us." They both said with a chorus and took my belongings.
'Wow! I had no idea the male workers are so handsome. They are so gorgeous." I said dreamingly.
'None of them will be interested in you so forget it. Besides you are here to work and not find romance." He snapped at me and I Hipped at him.
'We will see about that." I said sticking a tongue at him.
' I can see you two are starting to get along very well." I bowed down immediately when I realized it was the Queen.
'Greetings your Royal Highness. ' I said with a bow.
'How have you been Gianna?" She asked, and I smiled before replying.
' I have been good your Royal Highness. Thank you so much for caring about my well-being. I am honored."
' I am glad you are feeling better." She said, and I could hear her chuckle.
' I'll see you around. Enjoy your stay and make sure to report to me if he(Nico) is causing you any headache."
'Mother…"ian cried, and I heard the Queen giggle softly.
' I'll take my leave now. Bye Gianna." She said, and I smiled.
'See…everyone knows you are a headache." I said to him and he groaned.
'Gianna!!" I heard someone call me from the distance, it was Athenag. She came running to me and I hugged her the moment she got there.
' You are finally here…Come with me. I'll show you to your room." She said as she pulled me along with her and lead the way.
I was stunned, and my jaw dropped at the sight of my room.
'Oh my God…is this my room?" I asked out of shock and Athenag nodded.
'Do you like it?" She asked.
'No…" I said, and you should have seen the look on her face.
'What?"
'I love it! I totally love it!!" I said excited and she heaved a sigh of relieve.
'Sorry I got you shocked earlier. You will get used to it." I said with a grin and she smiled.
' I'm sure I will in a short. I have some errands to run, will see you when I'm back okay." She said and headed for the door.
'Athenag-ah…(she turned to me) thank you very much." I said to her and she smiled before leaving.
I laid on the bed and bounced on it, went to open the closet and my uniforms were neatly arranged.
I heard a telephone ring, I realized it was on the drawer next to my bed, so I quickly answered the call.
' You have three minutes, come to my chambers." He said and hanged up before I could even utter a word.
I rushed and wore my uniform and was directed to his chambers. I clicked on the bell next to his door and in few seconds, the lock clicked open and he popped his head out.
' You called for me." I said, and he nodded.
'Come on in." He said, and I entered. The place was dashing, lights and candles everywhere, the decorating on the walls where amazing and the ceiling was made of 3D design of the milky way.
'Here…wash them. I want them hand washed and make sure to clean up the whole place before I'm back. When you are done, call Ma'am . to inspect everything. Make sure to clean up my bedroom as well." He said and just walked out.
I turned and roared with anger. Ahh!! He didn't even allow me to have some rest he's already ordering me around. I'm going to kill him.
I fetched the clothes from the floor but then a black hoodie fell from among the clothes.
I bent down to take it but then a yellowish handkerchief fell from it and I had to drop the rest
of the clothes.
I took the hoodie from the floor together with the handkerchief, but then I noticed something familiar.
It had this silver design on the top right corner and a silver strand of hair in its cap. My eyes grew wider as memories of the hoodie stranger flashed back…his silver strand of hair and his black hoodie.
I looked at the hoodie in my hand and it looked exactly like the stranger's.
I refused the thoughts ofian being the stranger to get out of my head. It can't be him right… I mean anyone can own a black hoodie right.
No…he can't be the stranger. No, he can't be the one,ian can barely throw a punch…he can't be the Hoodie stranger. There's no way he's the one.
