Chapter 2: The Homeless guy
Helia's P.O.V
I can't believe Princess Flora of Lynphea is standing in front of me. I had a crush since like forever.
My name is Helia and I've been homeless since 15, I grew up in a orphanage but I want to make a life on my own.
Even though its not a good life, I do make a little money here and there selling art. Don't think I stole the supplies I have plenty with what the orphanage gave me throughout the years. But the money is not enough for a house or apartment. Half of the time I have to rely on nature for food.
Anyway back to the situation at hand the Princess of my dreams is standing in front of me looking beautiful as ever. One problem she's engaged to some noble named Anagan. But hey, a guy can dream can't he?
"Princess Flora?" I asked in shock. She giggles a little and it sounds like bells.
"The one and only." She replied smilingly sweetly, I couldn't help but chuckle. She is so cute.
"Um…thank you for catching me." She said blushing. I smile at her blush.
"No problem." I said.
"Since you know my name, aren't you going to tell me yours?" She asked.
"Helia." I said holding out my hand. She places her hand in mine and except of shaking it I bow down and kiss it. I look up to see her blushing more. I couldn't help but smile more. Maybe I do have a chance after all.
"Just Helia?" She asked letting go of my hand.
"Yes, I grew up in a orphanage since I was a baby. I don't have a last name." I explained.
Flora puts her hand over her heart and looks sadly at me. "I'm so sorry to hear that." She said.
"Uh…um...its fine." I said blushing, she really is so sweet.
"Then why are you homeless?" She asked.
I sighed and answered, "I guess I was tired living at the orphanage, waiting for someone to adopt me. But I heard they had to get rid of some of the kids because of the budget. So before I got kicked and get sent to who knows where, I escaped at 15."
"How old are you, now?" She asked looking saddened.
"17 almost 18." I answered all of sudden both of our stomachs growl and we look at each other laughing.
"How about I go into town get us some food from a really good café, come back, eat together and get to know each other?" She asked smiling.
"Really?" I asked excitedly.
"Really." She said smiling.
"But you don't have to pay for me, I'm sure to have some money in my satchel." I said being a gentleman.
"No need, I am the Princess after all. I'll pay for it. Please? You probably need a really good and nutritious meal." She said putting her sunglasses and hood back on.
"But Princess Flora-" I started to say but she interrupted me.
"No buts, I insist. And please, call me Flora." she said walking away waving. I can't help but stare dreamily at her
