Alexander was confused. The Neil he knew played drinking games?
It was unbelievable!
Aurelia quickly invited him into the store and served him the cold rose-flavored jelly she had made.
He was nice. They chatted for a little bit and were surprised to find that they had many things to talk about. He said
he had been to Melorion, that he had accompanied his uncle many years ago.
She chuckled. “Did you visit with the king?”
“Hmm… I don’t think so.” He thought about it and shook his head. In reality, he did not have many memories about
that matter. Nobody told him why exactly the king had visited Melorian.
He only remembered that his uncle had been walking back and forth on a street, seemingly waiting for someone.
Alexander sighed softly and rubbed his throbbing temples.

He smiled. “I’m okay.”
“Do you have something… on your mind?”
Aurelia was accurate with her observation.
Alexander could only admit that. Indeed, he had gone out tonight with a lot on his mind. However, he did not say
what exactly he was thinking about.
She supported her tiny face with confusion filling her doe eyes.
“Royals have worries too?”
“Royals are humans, too,” he said politely. “We have more worries than the commoners. It’s just that we look
superior to the people, but nobody knows the troubles that we go through behind.”
Aurelia looked around and smirked. “Is someone fighting for the throne with you?”
“Well…” He shrugged. “I guess so.”
“So, how did it go? Did you lose?”
Alexander was not sure whether to smile or cry due to her questions.
“I didn’t lose. In reality, I never wanted to fight for it, but that person knows my secret, and… that person wants me
to get rid of someone.”
“What!?” She was intrigued.
Alexander chuckled. If this girl knew that she was the person that he had to get rid of, would she behave like this
now?
“I don’t want to do that.” He continued. “But—”
“But if you don’t, that person would spread your secret?”
Alexander was stunned by how smart Aurelia was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe nodded and asked, “What should I do next? I don’t know how I should give in to satisfy this person…”
“Why must you give in?” Aurelia looked at him. “Aren’t you out on a limb?”
“Well…”
“Since you can’t satisfy that person, don’t force yourself!”
Her eyes were like clear spring water with mesmerizing lights hidden in them.
“Your Highness, my nomadic neighbors taught me that giving in would just make them more arrogant. Fighting back
is the only way!
“But…” She showed her tongue shyly. “Which of us would fight back when we bumped into the police? We ran
faster than rabbits!”
‘Nomads?’
Alexander frowned hard. He barely recalled that the street seemed to have many nomads living on it at the time
when the king took him to Melorian…
“Your Highness?” Aurelia waved at him rather worriedly, seeing that he was staring into space. “Are you alright,
Your Highness?”
