Bab 10. Naughty Little Prince

"Friend?" the girl froze at once, hearing the word 'friend' uttered by the prince. How can? A 'Crown Prince' asked ordinary people to befriend him.

"Yes, want to be friends?" Nathania smiled sweetly, she was really happy to meet a girl who also likes flowers just like her. For her, this is a fortune for people who have no friends.

The little girl was still stunned, her hands trembling, even though she was holding the pansies she had just picked. Nervousness and embarrassment, that was what she felt. After all, being able to become friends with an heir to the throne is extremely rare and almost impossible to happen.

There is a wall that will separate, such as the rank, status and honor of very high members of the kingdom.

"Judy don't want to be friends with me, do you?" Nathania showed a cute look like a very adorable puppy, making anyone unable to refuse her request.

"No...no, that's not Your Majesty. But, how could Your Majesty and I be friends, I ... I'm just a servant's daughter in the palace," she replied with a feeling of humility.

"Why not possible?" Nathania who was innocent by nature, didn't really understand the difference in degrees or anything like that. Her soul was still filled with love and peace.

Judy was silent for a moment, she was confused not because she didn't want to be friends with the Prince. Who doesn't want to be close to a king's son? it is impossible for anyone to refuse. However, her parents always advised him to keep her distance from the royal members, especially the King, Queen, Prince and Princess.

"Alright, as a sign of our friendship. I'll give you a present!" she said as he approached the little girl, crouched beside her picking pansies.

Judy was silent and watched the figure of the little prince who was right beside her. This little girl was completely mesmerized by the wingless angel figure. Her brown hair glistened in the sunshine, the strands of her hair moved in the wind. Her pure white skin and eyes that look very charming. In the eyes of this little girl, the Prince was like a perfectly sculpted statue.

"It's finished, this is a gift for you!" she said while giving the flower crown he arranged. Judy was amazed, the flower crown was very beautiful. She did not think a prince could make it.

"Very good, Prince Nathan!" she said admiringly. This little girl smiled, making Nathania smile too.

"Then, you can wear it!"

"Thank you!"

"But, why have I never met you?" asked Nathania, feeling that they had never met before.

"It's because I only stayed in the palace three days ago," she replied shyly, she couldn't hide her happiness.

"Really? It's no wonder we never met. This garden is so beautiful, right? I really like this garden,"

"Yeah, really pretty ..."

"So, where have you been living all this time?"

"In the village, with Grandpa and Grandma," she replied. Even though she had talked, she still didn't dare look the prince's eyes.

"That village with mountains and valleys, right?"

"Yes, that's right. There are mountains, valleys, rivers and waterfalls that are very beautiful,"

"Wow ... I also want to live in the village," she said, imagining the beautiful scenery that he had only seen in books and paintings.

"The prince has never been to the mountains?" asked Judy, Nathania immediately shook her head.

"But, this palace is much more beautiful than the village where I live."

"Really? but in the paintings I've ever seen, the village with mountains is more beautiful than the palace,"

"Both of them are very beautiful in my opinion," her heart was pounding, this is very strange. For this little girl, the experience she is currently experiencing will be a very valuable experience.

"Prince Nathan!" Diana's voice was heard, right behind these two little girls. The sound that sounded terrible, immediately made Nathania goosebumps.

"Di ... Diana?" she said haltingly as she looked back. Diana's fierce face, clearly visible before her eyes.

"The prince is trying to run away again, huh?"

"No ... no, that's not it, I ..." she tried to answer. However, all the excuses that occurred to her in her head were almost ever used.

"The Prince knows it would be a big mistake if Prince Nathan tries to skip class hours. If the Prince's test scores are bad, then surely, His Majesty will be furious."

"I ... that ... that ... there is a King!" she said, pointing behind Diana. Spontaneously, Diana immediately looked away. Diana's negligence is used as an opportunity for Nathania to escape.

"No King, Prince Nathan lied to me huh?" poor Diana, this is the umpteenth time a kid has tricked her.

"Hahaha ... just today I don't want to learn," she thought as she ran to avoid Diana.

"Prince Nathan must study!" exclaimed Diana, returning to her routine namely chasing the Prince who was getting naughty and stubborn.

Judy who saw the chase scene could only laugh. When the Prince had disappeared from her sight. Judy regained consciousness, touched the flower crown on her head. The prince's artificial flower crown.

"I really can't help thinking, why could Prince Nathan be so naughty? What if the Queen finds out?" she said, after a tiring struggle to catch the Prince, who kept running away and ignored her screams. The arrest was also assisted by several palace guards who could keep up with her speed.

"I told you I wanted to skip just one day, let me go!" she said struggling, while Jacksen and Noel held her hand so as not to run away again.

"I can't! I don't want to hear that excuse from the Prince again. Today there is a new art teacher who will teach Prince Nathan!"

"Then, give me chocolate!" she asked trying to negotiate.

"You can't eat while studying, I'll give you later!"

"When?"

"When the Prince has finished studying!"

"Really? don't lie?"

"No, Prince. But, Prince Nathan must study first, then I will give a very delicious chocolate to the Prince who is excited about studying,"

"Hem ... but I can't believe it?"

"The prince must believe. Alright Prince, please come into the classroom. The Prince's new teacher is waiting!" she said as she opened the door to the Prince's special study room. Inside the room, there was a young man who had been waiting for almost an hour. Diana, who deliberately glanced at the young man, immediately smiled shyly showing her interest.

Nathania entered the room half-heartedly, it felt like she was really lazy to study. The only thing she loves about studying is painting and drawing.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty?" said the young teacher. He was standing in front of the blackboard with a very formal appearance and body language, really showing the attitude of a respected teacher.

The young teacher was fairly tall, about 187 cm with a medium and well-built body. He looks very healthy and charismatic, with blonde hair and hazel eyes are charming.

"Good afternoon," Nathania was surprised, the young teacher Diana meant was far from her imagination. This man was very young, different from the other teachers who looked like a boring middle-aged man.

"Thank God, finally the Prince entered my class. I've been waiting for 56 minutes," he said. This man was different, even though the teacher was new and still young, he did not show excessive respect for the crown prince at all. He really positioned himself as a teacher, regardless of whether his students were commoners or noble families.

"Where is Mr Jetmir?"

"He stopped teaching because he had to accompany his sick parents. So, from now on I will replace him to teach music and art to the Prince. My name is Kenneth Berdych,"

"Kenneth Berdych? Then, can I just call Teacher Kenny? I'll be more familiar," she said, smiling broadly, really a very innocent child.

"Kenny? I can, but I warn you, I will not tolerate any mistakes." Kenneth smiled with hidden meaning as he shook hands with the little prince who did not know what terrible things await her.
