First he was being narcissist then now he was laughing and smiling. He's not only an idiot but a crazy one too.

Chapter 3:

The prince of her nightmares

The sun was already up high above their heads, glistening upon the surrounding making the orange-haired girl slit her eyes. Ugh this is why I hate sun.. I woke up really early today to scrub the floor only to be punished by the lioness, it wasn't even my fault!

Rima spent her supposed-to-be-relaxing-time interrogating the prince or whoever he really was just so she could satisfy herself.

"So," Rima paused then continued, "you're telling me that you were having this little ball party at your castle since it's your birthday, then suddenly your fangirls squealed when you just flashed a smile at them after giving your speech and then they started to get out of control and climbed up the stage," Rima inhaled then exhaled and continued again, "then you freaked out so you ran away but they wouldn't let you escape, and in every corner you went they could track you down so you decided to run further and thought of this forest and when you saw the palace-like house here, you thought you can hide and get away from them," Rima inhaled deeply and exhaled again as she caught her breathe after repeating the answers she got from this idiot guy earlier and got it all together to make sense. Seriously, he ran that far? Oh God, he must have had his lungs out of its place now.

"Yeah, that's how it is," the prince replied shortly.

"What the heck is wrong with your smile that it poisons those girls? I can't understand. You smiled at me earlier but it only freaked me out," Rima bluntly said.

"Wha-" the prince's words were cut off as Rima continued speaking.

"And what's your name? How rude, you said you're a prince yet you don't know how to introduce yourself." Rima raised her eyebrow at him.

"I'm Senri. Senri Shiki," he complied since he knew she was right but he wouldn't admit that.

"Senri Shiki? Weird name," Rima rolled her eyes and an image of a cat popped out suddenly in her mind. She had never seen her stepmother or stepsisters having a cat so whose cat was that? Oh...perhaps...

"Tell me, do you, by any chance, have a cat in your castle?" asked Rima.

"Huh? Well yes. We do have but what's cat has to do wit-" Shiki's words were cut off. Again.

"What color? Black, orange, white, brown and...pink?"

Shiki raised both his eyebrows at her. How did she know that?

"You.. Don't tell me.. you're stalking me too! I knew it, you're still sam-" Rima slapped his arm hard enough to make him stop his blabbering. He was just teasing her.. And that slap hurts..

"What are you saying? Me, stalking you? No way! I'd rather eat my pocky here than stalk you like an idiot," Rima hissed. Talking with Shiki was like talking to a ten-year-old rich spoiled brat who did nothing but boast how great he was in everything. Yes, everything. And now she knew who the owner of that stupid rainbow cat. Blood boiled inside her once again.

"Next time... Teach your rainbow cat a proper lesson not to jump into houses especially when it just played in the mud! Got it?" Rima glared at him.

Rainbow..cat? Shiki shook his head to brush off the thought. He felt bad now. His adorable cat wouldn't do something like that, but if it really did, he had to apologize.

"I'm... sorry," Shiki bowed his head a bit.

This seemed to surprise Rima. She hadn't expected him to apologize, neither more did she expect him to bow his head even if it's just slight bow. He was a prince and she was just a mere maid-after her father died, that is-.

Sighing inwardly, Rima nodded her head. She could forgive him, after all, she got to get away from that hellish palace-like house just for a while and it was refreshing. But still, he interrupted her relaxing time and she didn't like it. She also forgot her pocky inside, ugh!

Shiki lifted his head up and looked at the petite girl in front of him. She was looking away as if pouting and it was cute, he honestly thought. She probably forgave me if she isn't saying anything. Then his gaze turned to her clothes from her face, it seemed like she was a maid in that place. She was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves folded up to her forearms and a black skirt that ran down until her knees. On top of it was a brown apron. She looked dirty but the curves of her body that was hugged by the dirty clothes was worth it.

How could a beautiful girl like her be a maid..?

When he turned his gaze to her face, he saw her widening her eyes at him.

"You..Pervert! Why were you looking at me like that?" Rima snapped. She saw him staring at her while he moved his gaze on her body, she wanted to move but her body froze under his gaze. Which really freaked the hell out of her. Maybe princes are always meant to be perverts..? After all, they're all good-looking and girls were always after them. Except me, hah, I love my pocky than anything else. Wait... she just admitted to herself that he was indeed good-looking! But either way, she wasn't interested.

"I'm not! I was just wondering if you're a ..maid?" Shiki finally asked.

That stabbed right through her. Yeah, yeah, she was a maid for pocky's sake! Couldn't he just shut up and not ask things like that? He's a rude prince! Rima glared even more at him as she balled her fists.

Honestly.. She'd have punch this idiot guy already if it weren't for the voices the two of them heard. Damn. The fangirls. Rima mentally slapped her forehead.

"Look! Prince Senri's scent is coming from there, oh! There's a barn! Maybe he's in there, let's go!" one of the girls pointed to the barn where both of them were in. This. When Rima and Shiki heard, they both stared at each other for a moment. When would those girls give up? It's creepy!

"Hey maid, we have to hide somewhere else, now. Quick!" Shiki panicked.

"What? Why am I involved? And I have a name!" Rima snarled but too late, Shiki already grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the palace-like house. Oh no. Not there, no, if those two evil sisters see him, they'd just join the bunch of fangirls. That'd be..the worst.

AH! Anyway... how worse can today be? Rima screamed in her mind honestly hoping that today would just end fast already. Or even better if all was just a bad dream. This prince was giving her actual nightmares.
