Episode 5

Theodore's POV

"Your new hair suits you, your highness" Adi said, the head maid.

I bowed "Thank you" I left and went to the second floor

A maid bowed as soon as I stepped on the second floor.

My friends and I visited a salon and tried some new looks. I know it's inappropriate to change my hair color just because I want to. A black should be the hair color of a prince, they said. My father isn't here. I can try what I want.

I just nodded and went to my room. I saw the door unlocked, I entered and saw a girl standing at the balcony. Who the hell entered my room-

Damn....

It's the new girl.

I quickly changed my clothes to more casual, what I always wear when sneaking out of the palace.

"I wonder what does it feel like living as a princess" she whispered

Is she asking? It's no even great to live the way I am living. You will regret it once you tried it.

"Why not ask the prince?" I said

She looked back and her eyes widened as she saw me "P-Prince?!"

"Prince? I am not a prince. You doesn't seem to know what he looks like" I told her

"I-I never saw his face before. I just saw his back view, he has a black hair-" I cut her off

"A black hair? I have blonde hair. What made you think I am the prince?" I asked her

"I didn't notice your h-hair" she answered and eyed me from head to toe. 'what are you doing here? Only me and the prince are allowed to enter his room"

"Ah I see. I apologize. The prince is not yet here. I can still enter"

"You are crazy. He is not allowing anyone here. You are probably dead if he knew" she said.

"Why would I be dead? He wouldn't know unless you will tell him"

" I wouldn't put you in danger just leave this room now. You don't know what kind of person the prince is. You don't have any idea" She says

"What kind of person is he?" I asked her

"He is scary. He is strict and sensitive one. I even heard that he is a monster at night. I don't know if it's true but I believe the rumor. I didn't even met him but I am already scared. He can even kill me, I think" She says

Cute.

"So the prince is monster at night?" I asked her again

Valerie nodded "I don't want to die but I have to work. I should be careful of him if I want to live longer. As his personal assistant, I have to live longer and guide him to become a prince.

"Seriously? Hahahhaha" I laughed

The door opened

"Valerie-" she stopped talking when she saw me.

I shook my head as a sign not to bow at me.

"Hmm?" Valerie asked

"Adi wants to talk with you" she said.

'Alright" she answered

The maid left the room.

She looked at my eyes "You should be careful as well. I'll see you around" she tapped my shoulder and left the room.

No one dared

No one tried.

How can you look straight into my eyes?

I lost it.

I lost my pride as a prince.

Valerie Valdez....

-----------------------------------------------------------

Someone knocked on the door "Prince, dinner is ready"

"I'll go down but can you call Adi?"

"Yes your highness" she answered and walked away.

What the hell is wrong with me? How can she make all my decisions turn upside down? Effortlessly.

"Your highness" Adi called me

"Come in" I stated

She entered and closed the door. She bowed to me "I heard you wanted to see me?"

I nodded "I need to ask you some favor"

"Yes your highness. Anything" Adi says

"None of you spoke anything about me to the new girl, right?" I asked her

She nodded " Yes your highness"

"Since I started it already. I want this to continue as long as possible. No one will speak anything about th prince nor his name. No one will show Valerie a photo of me. Also.."

"Yes?" Adi interrupted me

"Let me finish talking. I will live here as your son, I will work like you all and will live at the first floor" I stated

"P-Prince, the kind will probably punished me for agreeing with your decision" Adi says

"This is my order as a prince and future King. This won't reach my Father and I will make sure to take all the blame" I said

"Prince theodore-" I cut her off

'You will call me Theo, no one will bow to me nor treat me like a prince. If ever one of you tried to disobey me from what I said, will receive a punishment from me" I said

She bowed to me "I will make sure to tell everyone about this, your highness" she says

"Thank you" I told her

She didn't answer.

"If she ever tried to look for the prince, make sure to tell her that I went away for a vacation. Everything will start tonight. I will be eating with you all" I told her

She bowed again "Yes, your highness"

"That's all" I said

"I will make sure to prepare your room right away" she said and bowed once again, she quickly left the room.

I guess my plan is going smoothly. Finally. I spoke about what I want to happen, I better do this until my Father arrives. I will make sure not to involve anyone under me to this plan.

Finally, I will be living as an ordinary teenager.

Not a prince anymore...
