The Bungsu Princess Inferior

59. Mr. Handsome

I squirm, it feels like my body is back in shape. The wind that blew on my face felt a little cold, but my body felt warm, I felt it and found a blanket covering my body. I feel something comfortable under my head again, wait for last night I fell asleep on the roof? I nodded and opened my eyes.

"Good morning, miss." I looked to the side and found Ken sitting facing me with a smile, his hands holding a cup with a clear steam in the cold air. "Drink, the air is a little cooler in the morning."

Ken stretched out a cup of hot chocolate, I received it with a still-thinking brain. "Thank you Prince" I said, sipping a soft warm chocolate that felt thick and sweet.

I tried to recall what happened last night, I was sure that I fell asleep without a pillow and a blanket, but why did I wake up with both? I glanced at Ken who was watching me. "Has the Prince been here all night?"

"Of course, how could I leave a girl sleeping alone in an open space like this?" he's still staring at me. "Do you fall asleep no matter where you are, miss?"

I'm really embarrassed, I think my cheeks are blushing. All this time when tired approached, I was not able to hold it. I couldn't choose a place to sleep, because it was tired, and the one that made me feel safe was Balin who was always standing by my side until I woke up. Balin had always been by my side when I slept in any place, but where was he now? I tried to sip hot chocolate while setting my focus, I used the eyes of the gods and met! I found Balin standing guard on the corner of the roof and watching me, not only did he eliminate his presence but he also locked all his aura so that it could not be detected by ordinary eyes, even I had trouble feeling his presence.

I let out a sigh of relief, if Balin is still watching me quietly and his emotions are not ignited, then that's a sign I'm fine and last night nothing happened. "Sorry, I can't always resist sleepiness! But why did you choose to stay Prince?"

"Ken," Ken looked at me with his black eyes, while I held the cup with both of my hands, the warm taste of the cup radiating into my hands. "From now on call me Ken," the cold morning breeze blew trying to play with my irregular long hair.

"Don't I ever tell you that I have a sister?"

I nodded, of course I remembered. Lia's face flashed in my mind, beautiful but dimmed.

"I used to look after him, until I saw him. It seems that time is going too fast, until now he has chosen his own life companion and inevitably I have to give it up, so that he is happy." There was a tinge of sadness in Ken's black eyes. "Now I can only watch her from afar, and pray for her happiness."

"I'm really envious of him" I chanted as I stared at the still foggy forest. "He found his love without fault, steadfastly fighting until finally able to unite with his adoration, moreover there is always a family who look after and pray for him, does not it seem very perfect to be a source of selfhood?"

Ken let out a long sigh, "unfortunately something that looks perfect is sometimes not as perfect as it seems."

Ken placed his cup on a small table near the chair, then slowly stood up. He walked over to me who was still sitting on the chair with both hands holding a hot chocolate cup, "i go first, there's work waiting." He rubbed my hair a few times, then snapped his fingers. A green portal appeared before us, "I'll see you as soon as possible," Ken walked towards the portal without turning around until the portal closed perfectly.

"Oh good thing I never took off the protective layer!" I said loud, I can't imagine Ken's hand burning when he touched my hair! I held my breath when Ken rubbed my hair, I was about to move away but then remembered the transparent protective layer I was still using, "uh fortunately!"

"Balin, how long are you gonna stand there?"

I smiled, "seeing you controlled your emotions well, I guess the answer didn't matter. Isn't that so Balin?"

Balin reopened his mouth, "just keep His Majesty alert."

I nodded, "of course. Now get some rest Balin, I need a bath too. Ohya if you meet with Aciel, tell him to accept the girl's arrival last night." Balin looked at me confused, "just tell him like that, he'll definitely understand."

I stood up and moved my hand instantly, the pillows and blankets neatly arranged on the chair while the two cups of hot chocolate had vanished. "Till Balin, thank you for always taking care of me."

Step down the stairs and walk to the wall in the corner. I pushed the wall up like a door, and then into it, not forgetting to slide back and lock it from the inside. A hidden room I deliberately made for myself. I want something hidden and private just for myself.

I turned around and was happy to see a soothing decor, a blend of white and brown that looked clean but elegant. I went towards the bath that I made to resemble a hot pool belonging to a smaller version of the green kingdom. I took off all my protective linings and clothes, and I threw myself into them. The warm water gave me the calmness, and the comfort I craved.

Somehow the shadow of Ken's sister, Lia kept coming to my mind. While time-traveling to the fire kingdom, I was sure to see the aura of his clan dim, as if his energy was not much. If what I saw at that time was related to what I heard at the Waiter Tang's restaurant, then the answer is that Lia has a disease. What kind of illness could gnaw away at the aura of his herb?

In my heart I really want to meet Lia and see her in person, she is a beautiful girl, very dear if she continues to suffer from her illness.

"Sorry to interrupt, I've come to sell medicinal plants." The voice of the girl last night was caught by the keen senses of my listeners, for some reason her cheerful voice made me smile and want to hear more.

"Oh please sit down, Miss Rara has given me orders to welcome you, miss..." Aciel sounded hanging his words.

"Joana," replied the girl in an excited voice. "Master did you know that you now look very handsome?"

"Hahahha.." I couldn't help but laugh, the pool water seemed to ripple as a result of my unexpected laughter and movements.

"Ehm, sorry Miss Joana so what kind of medicinal plants do you bring?" Aciel was heard diverting the conversation.

"Rather than selling it, can you hire me so that I can meet a handsome master like you every day?"

Oh no, my cheek hurt from laughing too much at the girl who turns out to be named Joana. His straightforward words to Aciel managed to make me laugh endlessly, wouldn't it be more interesting to hire him?
