Chapter 21

Felix woke up feeling a bit hurt from his left cheek. He felt that Istel was already gone and sighed. 'Yesterday... night... hehe.'

Because the signing event of Paris and LimEmpire were already done, it's tome for Nilet and him to go back to the country.

He was also tired from all of that. The bracelet thingy...

Oh wait... the bracelet was found inside his room, then someone was targeting him. This is bad, who was that someone?

If it was like that, he seems anticipating to end this things. Tss.

He looked at his luggage and saw the clothes Istel wore when she disguised herself as an undercover police yesterday night. He tilted his head, the clothes that the undercover police wore were... seemingly were like this style.

Oh well, she maybe has the same style as mine. But... that woman... where did I saw her? She seems rather familiar. The way she walked, talked, bowed... were... seemingly... like... of that's Istel's.

Aiya, that assumptions were so unreasonable to even believe.

Why would a woman like Istel be a police? Tch, that kind of work doesn't suit her personality at all. Maybe a Princess beside him was the work that suits her the most, no work can fit her other than that.

He smiled then went to bath.

•°♣♣°•

Istel opened the door when her stomach growled in hunger. She closed her eyes.

William put his arm around Istel's shoulder, "As a leader, won't you treat us to a breakfast? I am dying from hunger!" He whined.

Istel looked at him. "Do you think I have money here beside me? We went here without carrying any money, remember??" She said. She then looked to Jason with that look 'You treat us.'

Jason smirk. "Sorry, but my wallet was nowhere to be seen. I also didn't take it because I was hurrying." He said defending that his money was for him and his boss with his cutie little bosses.

JinJin was going insane. "Argh. We haven't eaten since we came here... I am starving. I must admit." She said touching her stomach.

Nilet's door was opened and she was greeted with their bickering about they haven't eaten yet.

"Why are you here to capture photos but didn't take money?? Tsk tsk." She said shaking her head. She took out her luggage and Istel noticed it.

"You're... leaving?" Istel couldn't help but to ask.

Nilet lifted her brows. "Yes, because my business here were done yesterday night. Besides, we have school tomorrow." She said looking at her things.

"I am starving... I regretted..." JinJin said... pouting. William looked at Nilet.

Oh the Second Princess was here.

JinJin looked at William whose staring at Nilet. "What are you doing, William?" JinJin darkly asked him.

William immediately averted his eyes from Nilet ans looked at JinJin instead. She raised her brows then let out a noise from her nose. "Well, this is your chance, wasn't it? Stare... I don't care..." She sad somewhat mad.

Istel rolled her eyes. "Ok guys. Our general problem is food, don't quarrel here 'coz I won't help you two to make up anyways." She said inhaling while rubbing her temples.

JinJin tched and rolled her eyes. William... I will remember this day, hmph!

Felix opened his door harmlessly. He saw all of them having weird ambience.

"Third Prince, are you willing to treat us to a meal?" Nilet said.

Felix was taken aback by her words. "Ahm.. what's happening?" He asked giving them individual glances.

Nilet shrugged her shoulders then looked at the four.

"Third Princess has no money, tsk."Nilet out of nowhere said.

"I don't need your opinion, Second Princess. If you have any problems with your ears kindly go to hospital so you can check it up." She said. She was hungry yet this woman dared to say that. Tch.

Felix was shocked at how her words were like daggers. Nilet continuously looked at her back.

"Have enough of staring at me?" Istel asked as she turned around to face Nilet whose fuming in madness

Istel crossed her arms while Nilet was biting her lips. She formed a fist and could only curse Istel in her mind.

Felix sighed in distress. These woman must have been in a fight, that's why they don't get along.

"Alright... stop. I will treat you all in a breakfast. Follow me."

All of them followed Felix as he leads the way. Miraculously all the Bodyguards yesterday were waiting for them in the entrance of the Royalties Hotel.

They were wearing the same clothes yesterday, I wondered if they even wash those... ahem... haha. I hope they are washing those. (Oof)

They went in one of the most famous restaurants here in Paris. Of course, they were there as a VVIP customers.

Sitting, JinJin couldn't help but to bit her lips and sniffed the foods in front of her. Those foods were like tempting her and it was too delicious that she stared at the foods with the words 'I'll slice you today!' on her eyes.

Felix looked at their individual reaction, and the most normal one was Jason. When he saw the foods, he slightly smiled at Felix and gave him a nod implying to thank him. Felix just then nodded at him.

He averted his eyes from his then looked at Istel. Her fork was raised with her eyes seemingly sparkling and her habit of wetting her lips. Oh... that was... kind of.. undignified as a royalty.

How could she act like that when she knew people would stare at her weird movements.

"Thank you for the foods." William said not looking at her. 'This guy, can't he be grateful that I treated them in a somewhat... feast...?' Felix haplessly said in his mind as he inhaled and shook his head.

Nilet smiled to him sweetly. "Thank you Felix for treating us." She said happily.

Istel rolled her eyes and deliberately met the plate with her knife loudly. Felix ears were so annoyed by it.

She gazed at Nilet.

"Can you please eat quietly?" Nilet said.

"... I don't care." She said. This woman... argh! When can I rip her face? It's giving me goosebumps whenever I saw her.

Felix recalled something then put down his fork and stared at Istel whose busy eating. "How do you know that the Jade Bracelet was missing, Istel?"

Istel coughed. It's her first time hearing him said her name. Her heart went oopps when she heard him said his name with that kind of voice.

Istel put her hair behind her hair as it was keeping her to not see the foods clearly she was eating earlier. "Well, I heard it when I went to Paris."

"Why didn't you told me you knew?"

"... Do I have to? I suppose you knew about it thus I didn't told you." She said then continue eating.

"Next time, when you knew something that Palace were involved, try to report it to me. That was one of your responsibility as a Princess."

Istel rolled her eyes. "Do you think, it's my decision to become your wife?" The things had escalated and Jason tapped Istel's back to calm her down.

For her, this kind of topic is so sensitive that she couldn't help but to be mad.

"I knew it wasn't, but because you are now one of the royalties, be aware of the rules and the things you need to do as one of them." He said calmly looking at her mad face.

Istel didn't replied. All she felt was the urge of punching him and tell him that this kind of things- who would want it, except for Nilet? All of it were clichéd occurring that ancient times were popular from.

An arranged marriage that both parties were forced to marry each other. Yes, it's an opportunity... but how about her feelings? Their feelings??

She was already tired and want to resign to this kind of position as a princess.

Alright, her work as an Spy was a work that she was willing to do, but this, to be honest, she accepted such decree because she was afraid her family's reputation would be tarnish if she hadn't done that.

The things she doesn't want the most were, her long made reputation in their place would tarnish and people would actually say things behind their back. If she hadn't accepted the decree, she supposed they had been living in isolation now; in hiding!

Why? Why it has to be her? Does she need to alter things just to make them; the Royalties feel satisfied? It was tiring. It was... truthfully tiring to worry about things she had done.

It was tiring to think that what she had been doing would diminish the great image of the palace or not.
