Chapter 7 "Undetected Presence"
What will you do if you have super power of invisibility?
Soleil had lot of answers for this question before. If she can be invisible, she will watch concert and movies in cinema without buying tickets. She will eat as many foods as she wants! She will travel around the world without plane ticket and escape from her debt collectors. This possibility was just a mere dream, but in Alipia land, Prince Gyu proved that it isn’t.
“Prince Gyu broke the king’s favorite base. His majesty is so mad, he is looking for the prince,” the palace guard who is wearing full uniform of tunics and bearskins, pair of gloves and pair of boot tops, said to the other guard.
There are walking at the great hall in search for the broken vase’s suspect.
“The Prince will use his power so it will be impossible to find him,” the other guard commented in dopey tone. “But it is the king’s order so we have to find him even it is far from reality.”
Concealed from their proficiency, Prince Gyu is actually standing at the side while listening to their agitation. Just like what they have predicted, he is really using his power of invisibility; a power which shunted him into a space between realities so that no one could detect his presence.
‘Why am I so clumsy? Father is really unpleased. He’ll punish if I got caught, argh~’ he was fear by his thoughts.
And so he remained very quiet until the palace guard passed by. Although his power makes him undetected, it doesn’t save him soundless at all.
“Phew,” he sighed now that he is alone. Running from his ferocious king would never been easy just like his usual days before. What a clumsy prince~
At the time he was about to flee, Princess Soleil came into the picture. She is wearing purple gown made with high quality fur and gold threads at the end of the skirt. Wearing it must be uncomfortable since she was used to wear shirt and pajamas at home in human world. She maybe looks classy, but no matter how refined her clothes are, the way she walks and yawns have downcast her prestige as the Alipia’s crown princess.
“I want to have some fried chicken and beer. Damn, I am craving for instant noodles too but there are no convenience stores in this place,” she complained with another yawn. “Ahhhh~”
Prince Gyu got influenced by her appearance and so he yawned too. “Ahhhhh~” This faint sound made her looked at him.
They have met each other gazes and were surprised by it. Why? There are two reasons for each:
For Soleil, seeing another handsome prince might be repeated – yes it could be. But this guy has fresh features no one could ignore (Though this always happened with the other princes). He is clear head higher than most people consider tall. Somehow he isn’t lanky but there’s bulk on him; muscles beneath his package-hugging pair of red tights, sexy thigh high leather booths, brocade tunic, fine leather gloves and a sword with dragon claw engraved at the gold handle.
Her eyes went up to his small-rounded grayish eyes that make her knees go weak. He has almost perfectly symmetrical face and his honeyed brown skin gives him a manly look. His pointed nose is the star of his face, like how the artist of a cartoon spent two hours drawing it. And the tiny mole on his left cheek has added charisma on his serious gaze.
‘Who is this prince again? I’m not aware of his name or his power. It is better to stay low, right? Since he looks very powerful,’ Princess Soleil convinced to herself.
Prince Gyu keeps his mouth shut, not because he doesn’t want to approach her but due to perplexity surging on his mind. Beside Deces (royal blood), no cefru (human being in Alipia land) has the ability to see him while he is under his invisibility power! Yet she made a straight look into his eyes!
‘This girl can see me!’ he gasped inwardly with puzzled expression. ‘How could this happen?’
Thinking that this prince isn’t interested of opening a conversation with her, Soleil then bowed her head for respect and soon has stepped away. With that, no proper greetings were heard before they separated.
Among the 13 princes, Prince Gyu is someone who isn’t interested for the king’s title. Thus seducing Princess Soleil wasn’t on his lists. He maybe uninterested romantically or politically but meeting her and witnessing their unusual connection lured him to know more.
“I need to ask Gideon about the power that woman holds,” Prince Gyu murmured, then he teleported to another place.
Soleil glanced upward, her mouth pursed but slightly open and loose. She is heading to the palace’s library in search for an answer.
“That prince is so handsome,” she uttered. “There are many handsome guys around me in this place but I still prefer looking at celebrities’ posters in my human world. Tssss.” Soleil continued with a sigh, “I’m still thankful how the tall prince is not showing interest on me. Coz’ my head is full of thoughts about Canes and Deces which other prince made big deal out of it.”
Her steps halted upon remembering a certain guy from yesterday – Prince Hao.
“Prince Hao kissed me,” she said as she touched her lips with her forefinger.
Everything are still vivid; Prince Hao’s lips, touch, breaths and voice. Just remembering it gave her a burning passion inside her chest. How does being a Canes makes her sexually aroused to random guy she just met? That’s the answer she wanted to know.
“I need to know more about that what so-called Canes,” she whispered. About to make another step, a voice appeared out of nowhere.
“Good day our princess. Are you having fun playing in the castle?”
She looks left and right but found no one; tilted forward and backward yet got the same result. Just where did it come from?!
“Look up, I’m here~”
The chandelier wasn’t in her expectation. But there’s a man sitting above like it’s a child play. “Oh?” she gasped while looking upon him.
He saw a guy with pale skin and cute face. He has a peaceful aura around him which makes her comfortable, but oopps~ she shouldn’t judge the book by its cover.
“Who are you?” she asked.
With a little tugging upward of his lips, he introduced, “Nice to meet you Princess. I am Prince Uji, the Alipia’s cupid.”
