Chapter 10: Sneaking out
"We didn't see anything!" They all said in unison while kneeling and bowing their heads so low, did not dare to look at me in the eyes at all.
"Who told you to come without any permission?" They all shook their heads.
I squinted my eyes. "Hmm?" I rudely ask and top my slippers on the floor.
They look at me then their head slowly turned to Domenicus who is standing beside them proudly.
I raised my eyebrow and went in front of him. "The Mr. Top one don't know the rules anymore?" He just looked at me coldly and sneered.
I was immediately got annoyed at his reaction but I did not show it.
"It's our duty to protect you. Please, refrain from shouting in the future." I frowned at what he said.
I feel like he embarrassed me and he trampled my ego.
Why does when it comes to this man I easily lost control of my feelings?
"Should I banged your head in the door too and asked you not to shout?" He did not say anything and just keep staring at the books on my bookshelves.
"Well, I'm sorry! I felt hurt. I have emotions! I can feel...unlike you who is very heartless and cold-blooded!"
I could see the momentary change of emotion on his face but it immediately returned to normal. Too fast I thought I was just imagining things.
I turned my gaze at the four idiots, who are currently watching us.
I glared at them. "Butler Warren will handle your punishment," I said and walk out.
They followed me towards the dining room and ate in silence.
And as usual, I'm eating with the five bodyguards and Butler Warren.
Somehow, their presence lightens up the atmosphere in our mansion. I usually ate alone before or with Butler Warren and Old Riana but it is a rare occasion since Old Riana really sticks to the rules.
My parents and brother are always busy with the companies and the kingdom. Having a double life is hard. I can help them big time but they choose to hide me for an unknown reason and that's frustrating.
Me and my brother never appeared in public together. Nor my parents and Syl. They don't want to any suspicion arouse that they went to that extent.
We don't have any family pictures that I'm there. I never appeared with them in public, at any party, in any family gatherings, or anything that connected to going out in public.
At first, I'm so sad about it. I rebelled and always make trouble and school to have their attention but I end up having haters and a bad reputation and somehow I made myself think that is the reason why they don't want to bring me in public and don't want others to know my existence that I'm part of their family.
But as I grow up, I know I misunderstand things because my parents and my brother treat me well. They spoil me to the bone that made me forget and be ok not appearing in public with them. But I understand more things when I found out our real status, we are royalty and I'm a princess.
Since I could remember, our country and the neighboring country, Saltueresa is already fighting but not to the extent that it will create a war between us.
I heard that because our family and their family are used to being friends and because of that they agreed that we should get married to unit the family again.
But I can't agree with that. Our marriage is not the solution because if the root of their fight can't be fixed then the grudge between the two families will never stop. Maybe our marriage can really stop it but it is only temporary.
"Eat these carrots." I raised my eyebrow at him and look at Butler Ryu.
"I want my ice cream." He nodded and signaled the servant to bring the ice cream.
Someone tasted it first before me so we can make sure that nothing will happen to me. Actually, it was tasted already a while ago, but Domenicus keep insisting that it should be checked before serving and after serving and my father agreed with it.
"It will give you a stomachache." I frowned but I decided to ignore him until he apologize to me.
He seems to figure out my plan so since he is seating beside me, he easily snatches the cup of ice cream from me.
I look at him angrily but I tried to suppress my feelings and ignore him again.
I could feel the stares of the four idiots but did not say anything which made me feel relief. I might snap at them.
However, Domenicus seems like he does not have any plan to let go of me. He keeps on staring at me intently, watching every move I make.
His stare is so intense that I lowered my head as beads of sweat is starting to form in my face. My heart is beating unusual as my tummy is starting to feel uncomfortable.
I gulped harshly as my eyes darted on him when I saw him biting his lips playfully as he stares at me.
I pinched my nose and breathe heavily.
When I realize what he is doing I immediately feel annoyed. He is making fun of me again! He knew that he can make me feel anything as long as he want to!
Syl is right, I should be better.
I glared at him fiercely and in annoyance, I slapped his forehead and rested my chin on my palms.
"Mosquito." I simply said and wipe my mouth before leaving the dining room.
I could hear their laughter as I walk in the stairs.
"You should watch your actions with them, Young Miss. We might offend the Prince." I snorted and look at Butler Warren.
"Offend? Isn't he offending me now? Judging me before knowing me thoroughly!" Butler Warren could only sigh heavily seeing how stubborn I am.
He is probably close with the five idiots since none of them could be the prince. The Prince could be watching our every move to know me more and to make sure that it goes everything as he planned. So, he needed people he trust the most to pretend as my bodyguards and to make sure that even if I fall for one of them he is sure that they won't reciprocate my love because he knew that the four idiots valued friendship more than anything else.
But if that is the case, he is really a jerk despite him being an intelligent being, his ways of dealing with things are not good.
I'm judging him too, I know it's wrong but I can't help it not to think badly of him after stepping on my pride and ego. I'll never marry a man I don't love nor I know.
I was scrolling on my phone when I suddenly receive a call from Syl.
"I can see that you're in a bad mood." She said as soon as she saw in our video call that I'm frowning really hard.
"Yeah."
"Well, I want to have a sleepover in your place. I can come anytime right? I'm on my way." She said normally like it's a normal thing!
It is indeed a normal thing for us but I'm just a little bit worried since it's ten in the evening already!
"What?! And you are only telling me this right now?" I ask, frowning at the camera but she just smiled at me and laugh.
"Chill, anyway change your clothes. We are going somewhere!" She said and smiled widely again.
"And, oh! No bodyguards!" She added before ending the call.
I was just dumbfounded and shaken by what happened. That girl is really pushy!
I could not do anything anymore so I stood up and changed my clothes.
I wore a black spaghetti strap crop top and black ripped jeans. I grab my jacket planning to put it after entering the bar. I also wear my butterfly barrette and my black beanie pairing it with my black sneakers.
I look cool.
I smiled at the mirror when I'm satisfied with my get-up.
After changing my clothes I received another call from Syl.
I grab my bag and answered it.
"Are you done? I'm downstairs already."
"Yes. Wait, I'm coming!" I said and ended the call.
This is a perfect time because it's Friday, it means the boys are out partying too and Old Riana is not here. While Butler Warren doesn't mind that I go to the bar and have some fun.
When I opened the door, Butler Warren is already waiting for me with a mask in his hands.
I grab that and decided to use the elevator.
I smirk when I saw Syl seating casually on her seat while sipping her tea elegantly.
I laugh inside my mind, this elegant lady in front will go wild later.
"Finally! Let's go. Bye Old Warren!" Syl said as she dragged me out.
I wave my hand goodbye to Butler Warren since he can't come because the five idiots might get suspicious when they got home and found Butler Warren is gone.
"So? Which bar?" I asked and put my seatbelt on.
"The DoVoLo JiBe!"
