Alexa Kethzie's
Chapter 20: Looking From Away

It doesn't matter if my brother won't teach me his magic. "Humpp!" I puffed my cheeks because I felt really upset, because after he said that sentence, he just left me. Now I'm just here alone.

My father is rarely home and if there is, then the time here is very short. He was busy taking care of the matter himself. I don't know what he did until he was rarely home.

Is he busy encouraging his business or taking care of his fiefdom? I don't care at all.

Not long after that, Elissa came to me. She just smiled as she said "Miss Alexa, have you finished her tea? I will clean it soon"

I glanced at him a glance then shook my head.

"You can sit in my brother's place, he's gone in" I replied.

"It's impossible, a waiter like me can't eat or drink a table with a guy like you, sir, I feel awkward... Thanks for the offer"

"Then this is not an offer but an order" I said casually with a sly smile. If this were the case, he would not be able to refuse me. Hehe

"Can't miss, giving such special treatment should not be done to the ministry"

Well, now he's managed to piss me off. I immediately got down from my seat and dragged him to sit in front of me. He did not refuse me at all for my actions.

"Shut up and sit down with me" I said later. I was happy because in the end he obeyed me.

"Elissa from tomorrow I will learn the sword, after this look for a wooden sword for me and a puppet as the object of my training" I told him after returning to my seat.

Elissa looked at me in shock but did not take a word out of her mouth even though she seemed to want to say something.

"Alright Miss" he said with a smile.

'Is this person not tired of smiling? Every day at all times always smiling.if I was a man I would definitely like to stare at him..'

I realized that the waiter in front of me had not drunk a cup of tea. I was just shaking my head at her cat's bashful behavior. He must actually want to drink but feel hesitant because it is a high-quality tea that is also very expensive.

"Drink don't just look at him"

"Ahh i_iya thank you Miss.."

Right today is the second Sunday I skipped school. I looked at my body in the mirror and noticed my stye-looking cheeks... Aih like his little boy like me so fat. How can't I not be fat if my job is just to eat study and sleep.

It just so happens that right now I'm going to do a warm-up run around the mansion of five rounds and self-taught sword training.

I looked for pants I could wear to exercise in the closet but didn't find them. Too many rows of dresses and skirts that are a pair with clothes here.

'do I need to make clothes or buy them... Hmmm if making new clothes for sure I will take a long time, anyways I do not have a sewing machine or needle even though the fabric itself I can take from the pieces of my dress I thought.

"Hurry up and call Elissa" I ordered the waiter who happened to be passing by in front of my room. He just nodded then left immediately. After a while then appeared my personal servant who immediately approached me

"Do you need Miss Alexa to find me?" Ask politely.

I smiled, then my right hand immediately pointed out the window. Next to my hand lay on my side with pride.

"TODAY WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!" I said while blinking one of my eyes.

"But miss don't you want_"

"I will definitely do it! but I have to find comfortable clothes for me to wear" I said.

"Alright I will immediately prepare the money" he said then farewell.

Then I took my foot out of the mansion and waited for the servant to come to me. When Elissa arrived she put a Floppy cream hat with an accent of pink flowers on my head.

"You look cute Miss" he said praising me.

"Hump! Amang I already cute from there" answered me while turning away from his smile. Then we immediately set foot to the horse carriage we used to ride.

Once we got to the market we stopped at a large boutique where visitors were quite crowded. The boutique itself is located next to a very crowded pastry shop. Next time I'll visit the store.

"Elissa try to find me clothes that use pants and are good to wear for exercise, hunting or such activities" I told Elissa.

"All right, miss"

The waiter immediately went looking for clothes that suited me while I just waited while washing my eyes to see the fine clothes. I was reluctant to buy it for fear of not wearing it and just being wasted.

Suddenly, my eyes fell on a man wearing a black robe and covered his head.

"Who is that obviously very conspicuous person?" Batinku.

Then try to try if hiding in the crowd even dressed strangely like that. Obviously it even invites the attention of people who see it.

Then I followed that guy who happened to stop right at the kueh shop next to this boutique.

'Ouch Alexa,... You are looking for a problem.why even follow a person who is not known' my inner later.

'Heh how could such a big person be hit by him? Is it invisible? Or is he being pushed by someone else?! Maybe because the entrance is too crowded.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it, sir" said Lily, both embarrassed and guilty.

Ahh this is interesting for me to watch... I also immediately pulled the hat I was wearing to go forward to cover my face. But I can still see them clearly. Wait-wait... What am I doing this for?... I thought I was surprised.

This is the story of the protagonist in the novel, seeing this incident makes me like watching a movie shoot live... I can't miss it like I used to.

"It's okay" the man replied in a soft tone. I was flabbergasted when I heard the man who felt familiar. Finally I decided to follow them who happened to be both equally about to step into the cake shop. Then I immediately hid among some visitors. I feel benefited because my body is small and short, so it can hide easily.

The man opened the hood that covered his head until his face appeared. But I did not manage to see it despite trying to try it.

"I want this one"

"I bought this cake"

Say both at the same time. The two looked at each other and were shocked.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly when he saw their behavior.

"It looks like you're a soul mate" he said with a smile. The two of them just shook their heads together.

"Ahh please miss who took it" Finally the man invited Lily first.

"No no. You're the master" said Lily who felt awkward.

"Just take it, I'll find another one".

"Ahhh te_thank you" Lily Collans finally took the cake they fought over earlier.

"By the way, what kind of cake do kids usually like?" Ask the man. Which makes me flinch when I hear it.

Why my heart dag Dig Dug duhh...

"Want to give it to his sister?"

"You could say so"

Hufft... I don't know why I felt so relieved when I heard the answer.

"Is she a girl? Most women love the taste of chocolate or strawberry"

"All right, thanks"

"Yeah.just the same"

Finally the man immediately searched and bought a pastry of his choice. After that he immediately turned his body to pass away. Right then I managed to see his face very clearly.

JEDAR!.. JEDAARRRTT!!...

It felt like there was a lot of lightning striking in my head, because I was so surprised.

Ohh no! she was...

"PRINCE SHUN??!" Lily exclaimed at that person who turned out to be Prince Shun. The person he called was apparently about to move out of the door of this cake shop. Prince Shun stopped his steps because he felt called. While many pairs of eyes are now also looking towards them.

"Is that your name, sir?" Lily asked him.

Prince Shun just nodded with a small smile, then passed away. After that, Lily seemed to be muttering something and seemed to be chasing after Prince Shun, but he undoed his intentions.

I just stared at Prince Shun's departure while trying to hold my heart beating so great, by holding my chest using one hand that kept clenching from nervousness.

Haaah... Yaampun Prince Shun.. Two weeks of not seeing it already looks very handsome and cute... It seems like right now I will melt from seeing that sweet smile. Even if that smile wasn't directed at me.

I sat down and covered my face with both hands when Lily left the cake shop. I tried to hold back my harbour that started to burst and I felt now that the waterfall that I had been trying to block was flowing from both my eyes. Some people looked at me wondering, "who's the kid that got lost in there?".

"Finally... I finally saw it.." I whispered slowly to myself.

A few days without meeting Prince Shun feels like years have gone by. Despite just looking at her from afar I was already feeling grateful and happy because the person I wanted to protect turned out to be fine.
