"Uncle, I swear she's throwing a fit"

"Well, nephew, let's see, keep your composure, you know it's necessary to be a good leader"

"I know, but this woman is unbearable, the only good thing about her is her family"

"Prince Armando, don't be like that, what did I tell you about speaking like that about people? Have your parents taught you anything good? As a future emperor, you shouldn't be like this, and you know... you're not obligated to marry her"

"Yes, uncle, sorry, but this girl drives me crazy"

I wanted to punch him, so angry, and what's worse is I hate myself during this time... he's such an idiot.

I could spy through the bushes, the two men were passing by, at this moment I'm seventeen, the prince is twenty years old, and I don't remember the emperor well, I estimate he's around twenty-one, he's younger and more attractive than I thought, I always assumed he was in poor health and had an ugly character for not going out, but look at his posture, even though I can't see his face.

At that moment, I see them stop for a second, the emperor told the prince to go ahead because he didn't feel well and wanted to get some fresh air before entering, the prince moves away, the other man takes a few more steps and disappears, I didn't see where he went, he walks so fast... I whispered to myself.

"Is it safe to leave now?"

A male and imposing voice whispered in my ear.

"That depends, on who you're hiding from and why, girl"

When I turned around, I saw that handsome man who had been with the idiot, my eyes filled with tears, instinctively I touched his face... I know, it wasn't a good reaction, the man doesn't know me, but I know him, I'm sure he's my beloved, he has a different hair color, but those eyes are his...

He stood still as I touched him, until he reacted and wiped away my tears, while I pulled my hands away.

"What are you doing, do you know who I am?"

It was obvious who he was; however, I would never admit it, I enjoyed coming back to this place...

"I'm sorry, sir, I saw a pretty face and wanted to touch it, it's my weakness"

"What the hell? Why the tears?"

I looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

"I sprained my ankle"

"That's why you're hiding?"

"What else could be happening?"

We could hear the shouting from inside.

"Uncle, where have you disappeared to!?"

I looked at him at the exact moment he was about to speak, instinctively I covered his mouth.

But as I moved so quickly, I fell on top of him. We ended up with him sitting on the floor, me on top of him and my hands over his mouth... he's my beloved, but he doesn't know it yet, I hope he won't kill me for this... Damn, I feel the pain in my right side, damn it, my head is spinning, I couldn't take the pain anymore, everything started to blur, the last thing I remember saying was...

"Please, don't turn me over to that little prince"

I didn't even feel the fall, but before closing my eyes completely, I saw a shadow jump from the tree. Then everything turned black.

Narrated by Emperor Lucas Di´sepolo.

I have a terrible headache, and this idiot of a nephew comes with another tantrum, god if only I had someone worthy to leave as emperor, I know I don't have much time left, maybe a few more years. But I have to find someone better than this idiot, he'll lead us all to ruin...

As I insulted in my mind, I heard noises in some bushes near where I was passing with my obnoxious nephew, I take the opportunity for him to go away and distance myself.

When I slipped between the bushes, I couldn't believe it, that girl Armando was complaining about, there she was, hidden, she looked nervous, wait why is she crying, am I that intimidating? I must have scared her... she's injured... sounds like an excuse... injured... I see her covering my mouth, I was going to offer her to leave without being seen, but what did she think when she jumped on me.

I saw the pain on her face as she fell into my arms, asking me to take her away from that imbecile. I signaled to my faithful companion and guardian.

"Now, are you fainting too?"

"Don't be an idiot, did you see where she came from?"

"Yes, she jumped from the prince's room, she looked desperate"

"Why didn't you help her?"

"Because I never thought she would jump like a crazy person"

"Fine, take her to my palace without being seen"

"Where should I leave her?"

"Put her in my room, no one should enter until I arrive-"

"Finally, my friend, you're bringing a woman to your room-"

"Who do you think I am? Can't you see she's unconscious?-"

"And what if she isn't?-"

"She is still underage, according to my own rules-"

"Emperor-"

"What?-"

"It's the first time she hasn't said no-"

Before I could respond, he secretly left with the girl. Idiot; however, I feel better after helping that girl, I believe it will be fun dealing with her.
