Our first encounter

I suddenly woke up not knowing where i am. The place where i slept was in the grass beneath a big tree. I do remember, I was in a ship and then i got off and.. nothing else i could remember.

Just then, i hear a footstep coming. I don't really know this place so i just hide in the tree.

"come out!"

"are you an intruder?"

Hearing his voice, he seems to be around 18 years old perhaps. Maybe, it wouldn't be too bad to just reveal myself instead of running away. He could be just some commoner.

So i slowly turn around..

"..."

A tall man with green eyes and hair.

"puff! haha! so hilarious!", he laughed.

I my face got blank in confusion, even though i met for the first time only he's got the serious face as if he was ready to kill someone before he laughed. He doesn't seem like the a man who would just laugh off.

"are you a lion? or a gorilla? your hair looks like a bird's nest!" he laughed harder.

By this time, all my nervousness and fear are all gone and now i got a little mad and hurriedly fix my hair.

"Now, do i still look like a gorilla to you?"

"hm, no..."

"my name is Kara Anne Louis, and i come from the Juria Kingdom and as far as i know this place is definitely not the Juria Kingdom right?"

"..."

His face looked as if he sees an enemy and hold his sword saying

"This is the Alynthia Kingdom and why are you here. Especially in the dukedom.?"

"I am truly sorry to have slept here in the dukedom without anyones permission."

"go back to where you are and if i see your face again, i'll definitely kill you, is that clear?", he glared.

"...yes, but i came all the way here from the Juria kingdom and.. i have no plans to go back either but i will leave your dukedom."

"..you ran away? or you were evacuated from the kingdom and come here."

"i..you can say i ran away from home."

"stupid..no children would ran away from their homes you just don't know how dangerous the outside place is."

"...i know that but i still chose to run away because i want to live on my own."

"how old are you" he asked with suspicion.

"14 years old"

Just then, he was about say something but someone called him and he seems to be his butler or something.

Of course, i tried to sneak away but he grabbed me in the clothes and drag me along with him.

"e-excuse me, but you are not suppose to just touch a lady! sir!", i shouted and bite his arm.

That was the moment i knew, i'm done for.

He drag me inside and throw me to the floor inside a big mansion.

"young master, he is just a kid! please be merciful to her" his butler shouted.

He glared at his butler with a scary look on his face, he then kept quiet.

"You look a lot like someone i know from a long time ago so you can stay the night here"

I was so confused but not happy at all. But i just can't refuse looking at his scary face saying he could kill me in just a second.

"..yes, but only for this night, right?"

"of course, i don't want such a dirty maid like you"

I got a little furious by that time, but i just kept quiet as i don't want to cause a trouble.

He called the maids and tell them to bath me but i refuse as i always take bath myself and i just don't like it when others touch me too much.

After the bath, i got eat some delicious food made by a chef and finally sleep peacefully in the guest room.

No, of course not! how could i just be so comfortable in a stranger's house and many other maids and workers were staring and whispering while i was eating and i didn't get to eat much because it was so uncomfortable. Although i am alone now, i don't get used to sleeping in a fluffy and silky bed and i cannot make too much noise as there are three guards guarding me the whole night.
