...I can't have you...

...I can't have you, but I want you...

...To know you made me feel brand-new...

...From the very first time we met...

...Up until I got my heart set...

...On feelings I could not subdue....

...Friends will be friends, that much is true,...

...But I can't see how 'friends' will do,...

...'Cause my stubborn heart will forget...

...I can't have you....

...You rule my mind, and body too;...

...The first to know me through and through,...

...That's why it felt so right, and yet...

...I should have known I'd lose the bet,...

...As deep inside I always knew...

...I can't have you...

He said while he have a smile in his lips.

She looked at him in shocked because she never see him smile like that before. She blushed a little and look away.

Then she say while look at the sky.

This is your personal knight his name is Noah. Noah is assigned by me to protect you and he will follow you whenever and wherever you go.

Amelia amazed because her father never gave her a personal knight before.

Speak in her heart

I never get my own personal knight before maybe now my father has started to love me.

She spoke with full of hope that her father had begun to love her.

Thank you father. I appreciate it.

Are you sure? You look pale. What's wrong you can talk to me about anything.

Nothing I just remembered about my mother.

Princess if you don't mind I ask. How did your mother die? If you don't want to tell me it's okay, I'm afraid that my question makes you uncomfortable.

It's okay, my mother died while giving birth to me. from then on my father started hating me and my face resembled my late mother very much, maybe that's why my father didn't want to see me.

Noah stunned when he hear Amelia's story because he thought that King Oliver love his only child so much maybe King oliver has his own agenda behind telling him to protect his only child.

It's okay princess. I'm here I will protect you from all the threats in this world and I will be your shoulder to cry on you can always talk to me about your problem.

She looked at him like she want to cry then she hugged him tightly and say

Thank you so much, Noah."You always be my favorite person in this world".

What did you say princess?

Then she realized that she said something that she shouldn't talk about.

Then she close her mouth with her both hands in surprised.
