Chapter One

THE GIRL WITH BLAZING EYES

EPOV

This is my third day in the capital city of Europia Kingdom. Verlond is a beautiful city in many ways. The people are so kind, the environment is well kept, and the security of the city makes me feel safe. Also, you can see the famous Europhond Palace in the heart of the city. A lady told me that the palace isn't famous for it's gorgeous architecture, but for the person who lives on the inside—a princess to be exact. Although, I wasn't entirely sure if the story was true or not, I was sure about one thing, if I had the chance to meet her, I would steal her attention to put it upon myself.

My first and second days here went well. I got praise and money from my performance and let's not forget the ladies attention. I am practically living on the streets as a magic performer. I love seeing the shocked expressions from people when I do tricks. They say my tricks are unreal, but what can I say? I'm just a genius. I'm famous; I could have my own stage in the grand hall and bring in a full house if I intended. But I prefer and love the freedom I feel when I perform on the street.

I just came out of my rented room when I heard someone calling after me.

"Sir Edward! Are you going to perform now?" It was the owner of the inn I was currently staying at. I throw him a smile because in the corner of my eye, I spotted his daughter stealing a glance at me.

"Ay, sir. The show today will be held on Seventh Street, near the park," I said.

"Alright, I will be sure to inform people! Certainly they won't want to miss your performance!" The Innkeeper replied.

"Thank you! Well, I better get going. See you later!" I bid them goodbye with a tip of my hat and a wink to his daughter, causing her to wink and giggle.

While I walked in silence to the park, I noticed people throwing me glances—women in particular. Hey, you can't blame me for my good looks, can you? I am a magician, but I refuse to dress like one. I dress myself with the latest and most up-to-date clothing that is in the shops.

"Meow," a small noise was made. I looked down to see my cat, Lizzy approaching. She is beautiful with her colorful coat. She is all grey, aside from her belly where she is white and her black paws and lower lip. It's makes her even cuter when she opens up her mouth.

I found her six months ago meowing to people as they passed her on the street. I felt pity and took her along with me. When I found her, she was very thin, but now she looks much better. She doesn't like to be indoors except for when she sleeps. She loves to wander around, so I set her free and she comes back to me.

Lizzy brushed her head on my pants asking to be patted.

"Hello, little cat! Have you eaten today? I haven't. Would you come along with me?" I asked the animal.

And as if she could understand my words, she was mewling at once.

-NSSE-

"Mirror, Mirror, in my hand, show me who is the most beautiful lady around here!" I throw glances to the women of the audience that has gathered around. A pair of beautiful brown eyes catches my gaze. 'What a glorious creature,' I think. Her shiny brown hair and her full red lips look mesmerizing against her milk white skin.

"Ah! There you are, my lady." I say as I bow to the bow to the reflection in the mirror. The girls around me shriek, wondering who it was in the mirror.

"Sir, would you come here a moment, please?" I point to one man in particular.

"Here, hold on to this. Can you see her? Isn't she beautiful?" I ask. The man's face has a look of shock for a moment before he shouts.

"Oh God, she is the princess. Princess Isabella. Sure she's beautiful, nobody can compare to her, but, she isn't here, Sir Edward. She can never leave the castle." The man responds.

I shift my gaze to the girl I saw before, but she has gone. Maybe she is the princess, that's quite interesting.

"Oh my bad...I just can't resist a beauty when I see one. What man can?" I end my words with a wink.

The crowds cheer and toss money into my hat lies on the floor. After a moment, I raise my hand and the cheers die down.

"Well, I guess that's all for my performance today. See you, err…I don't know. Later?" I say as I pick up my hat and throw a smile to the ladies as they scream my name.

"Come here, Lizzie." I say as I stick my hand in my hat and produce a big black sheet of fabric.

Lizzie climb to my shoulder and I spread the fabric behind my body and make a turn so that my audience can't see me. In a blink, I was gone, leaving only a piece of fabric as a proof that I was really there. There, there! Now that's what I call a trick.

-NSSE-

I blow my breath on the air; fascinated by the way it freezes and makes a fog. Someone is following me, I know that. This stalker surely has light feet, but not lights enough to trick me. So, I acted. I toss a coin in the air and make it disappear before it falls back in my grasp.

There's a gasp. Got you! I make a fast move, turning to the street on the left and hiding behind the pillar of a home. I saw a figure; he was wearing a dark coat. It's night, so everything is dark. The only source of light is from torches that are placed on the side of the street. I pull my short knife from my waist belt but it's stuck. Damn! Of all times, it has to happen now!

Then a slender hand and a slim knife strangle my neck.

"For an illusionist that life on street surely you aren't ready for some unexpected moment such as this. I wonder how you have survived until now!" a cold hoarse voice speaks. "Put your hands up in the air!"

I do as the man said, but I realize something. This man surely has a heavenly smell. Even his breaths smell so fresh. Oh, stop it Edward, you made a fool of yourself! The man pushes his body forward, so I have to move along with him but, I feel something familiar. His chest was not a chest; it was breasts—which mean that the man was not a man but a woman! How could I know? Well, you know—experience! I have my fair share with the ladies doing this and with the thing that we are talking about so…you can say I know that part of woman body so damn good! Pervert you say? Oh, don't mention it.

"Uh, my Lady… don't be too eager would you?" I glance to my attacker. I can't see her face because of the lack of light but I can tell she isn't happy of me knowing she is a woman.

"Seems like you have a bit of brain in your head eh?" she pokes my head when I scoff.

"Why, thank you. Surely this humble creature isn't only gifted with look but brain also—and if you don't mind my lady; I would like you to unhand me, now!" I reply!

I make a move so I can let go of my hand from her grasp. And turn my body to face my attacker—and what a shock it is. This girl is not a usual girl. She is the princess! Her entire figure is wrapped in a dark cloak but I can see her fiery eyes blazing at me from the limited light that come from the torches.

This girl is surely blessed by the goddess of fire.
