KIDNAPPED BY THE DARK PRINCE
Baffled

Ara decided to relax for a moment in the gazebo in front of the palace. He wanted to see the view of the park that so spoils the eye. Colorful flowers seemed to decorate his surroundings. The splashing of pool water in the gazebo also seems to add to his inner calm. Ara started to feel at home in the palace. He was swept away by the environment and taste that this country has.

"He must have been very difficult to bear the curse alone."

Ara also realized with what she saw on Xi's shoulder earlier. The one where he saw the image of the black snake on Xi's shoulder. Ara also felt concerned about what happened to Xi. He wanted to help Xi escape the curse. But Ara herself did not know how either. It's too ordinary to know such things.

"Ara, were you looking for me?"

Shortly after, Xi came. Sontak Ara was surprised because what she was thinking was now in front of her. Ara shifted her seat.

"Prince?" Ara invited Xi to sit nearby.

"I was practicing. And said the soldier you were waiting for me. Is that true?" ask Xi to Ara.

Ara was confused to answer. Should he be honest if he just wants to know? Or is it lying if he waits for Xi to please this prince of Arthemis?

"I'm fascinated by your training, Prince." In the end Ara said that to Xi.

"Thanko?" Xi was confused.

Ara nodded her head. "I'm ashamed to tell you the truth. But what is clear is that the shape of your body during the exercise is fascinating" Ara explained later.

Ara ....

"Prince, this cake is delicious. Is it special in this country?" ara asked and took a small pie on the gazebo table.

"Oh, that. It was just a prank at first. But even a lot of people like it" Xi explained.

"meaning?" Ara did not understand Xi's intentions.

Xi smiled he looked at Ara deeply once. Ara could even see her reflection in Xi's black eyeballs. At that time the surrounding situation also felt very quiet. Only the heartbeat of both of them was heard.

Prince ....

Ara ....

Xi then ventured to hold Ara's hand. Slowly he reached it. "Can I pretend to be my girlfriend for that to happen for real?" xi asked who made Ara's heartbeat so hard.

She ... Did she get like this?

Ara's heart was filled with Xi's request. He did not know what to say when Xi begged him. Ara knew very well if there was not a single man that her lover would want to pray for. Therefore, as much as possible, he sets his heart for one person only. But hearing Xi's words was like a plea to her. Xi asked Ara to pretend to be her lover so that it could be realized soon. Ara also felt pity.

What exactly makes him like me?

Then Ara took a deep breath to normalize her heartbeat. As much as possible, he acted normally when Xi asked for his heart again. Although indirectly, but enough to make Ara's heart pounded. Ara felt pity for the prince who was before her. He was confused as to what step.
