"Are you really okay?" I worriedly asked Soldier as we continued our search. He smiled, giving me a reassurance. I just felt bad for him. He doesn't deserve to be hurt. "Aliens aren't vulnerable, Princess. You don't have to worry about me." I avoided my gaze. Even so, aliens have feelings too. They get hurt, I know that.While we continued strolling around, I heard someone crying from a distance away from us. It sounded like a kid crying. I tried to look for the kid and listened carefully so I could track where the voice is coming from."That sound, it's annoying. Can I look for it and kill it with my sword?" The Soldier draw out his sword."What the-? Hey, don't you dare do that!" I stopped him."But-""No buts, Soldier!" I cut him off and he put back his sword. I continued on following the crying sound and when I finally get closer to where it is, I got more determined to find the kid. I felt relief when I finally found her inside an abandoned building. I walked towards her and sh
Yesterday was a busy day. Who would have thought that my little brother and I would get such profit we never had before? It was tiring but it's all worth it. We can finally get much food and other things for our needs.I am in the supermarket with my little brother to buy vegetables. Mother had other things to do so it's just the two of us who'll be taking care of the household."Sis, I would love another kind of dish. Why don't we try meat?" Adam, my little brother, suggested. But I gave him a stern look and told him that a kilo of meat is expensive. So we ended up buying just vegetables and some canned goods. We were about to leave the supermarket when I heard something from the news on tv. My mind would love to leave and ignore it but my body won't cooperate. I stopped and watched the tv. There I saw news regarding UFO's or something they would call the unidentified flying object. This isn't just the first time that this kind of news were on headlines. Rumors were already spreadi
I slowly opened my eyes when I felt my stomach grumbling. I looked to my side and there I saw Adam laying down beside me, still fast asleep. I can't help but feel soften as I stare at him who's so innocent. Although sometimes he might be annoying, after all, he is my brother and anyone would still look at their family with love no matter how stubborn they could be. I looked around and noticed that the surrounding's getting darker. Was it already night time? I never thought I'd fall asleep for a longer time during day time. I'm not even the type to sleep during the day, that was, when I started to grow up.I rubbed my hands against my stomach. I'm hungry I wanted to look for some food to eat. Probably my brother would feel hungry too the moment he wakes up so I should prepare food for the both of us.I noticed the tears on my face were dry. It was because I kept on crying until I fell asleep. I remembered the moment earlier and how mom sacrificed herself for us. Now that I remembered i
"Soldier, kill her." The Prince once again commanded, making the soldier draw out his sword. The soldier stared at me in the eyes with no emotion. My heart is racing with nervousness. This time, I only think of my mother and my brother. I won't be able to see them once again. The soldier pointed his sword on my face, its pointed end almost touch the tip of my nose. "Forgive me, Earthling. The Prince has spoken and I must keep my word." My forehead knotted. Why does he have to apologize? Aren't aliens supposed to be heartless? He shouldn't have apologized. He couldn't have apologized to every single being he has killed. He remained with his emotionless face so I can't read his mind. Even though no matter how much I wanted to know what he is thinking, I cannot unless he tells me. What I should worry right now is my own life and how I can escape from this fate."Your Highness!"Suddenly, the door was slammed open, interrupting the moment. A group of soldiers went in and bowed in front
"ADAM!" I called my brother's name and he looked to my direction with his eyes widened."S-sis? Sister-!" He was about to ran to where I am when the Queen stopped him by holding his garment. The Queen glared at me. "Let him go! Please!" I begged her. "So you're his sister? Pathetic." The Queen smirked and shifted her gaze on the soldiers. "Kill her!!!"My eyes widened when the Queen ordered the soldiers to kill me. Three of them went towards me with weapons in their hands. They are soldiers numbers 92, 93 and 94. I won't let them kill me. I still have things to do here. I still need to find my mother, I still need to bring Adam to somewhere safe. "ADAM!!" I ran towards him. Confusion marks the face of the royal-blooded aliens as they see me coming towards them. I don't know what's going to happen to me. They might order the soldiers to shoot me dead. But my only priority is to get to my brother. I don't care what happens next."Shoot her!!! Don't let her get near us!!" The Queen or
"Stay there, Princess." Soldier Paulus showed me my temporary room. Standing outside while the door was open, I turned my gaze around the room and I can't deny its fascinating sight. It looks like a royalty's room! "Why here?" I asked the Soldier. I am aware of the mission given to me by the Prince but I don't deserve this kind of treatment! Why do I have to stay in this beautiful room? I am not an alien like them! Shouldn't I be with the people outside? "The Prince wanted you to do your best to find his future bride. By giving you this fancy room, he knows you will be motivated to do what you're told. The Prince also promised to give you a special space in Quadrolien once you've done your mission." He didn't lay his eyes on me and remained firm in facing his front. I stood beside him, watching the side of his body. I saw how his jaw clenched. The curl of his eyelashes, his jawline and his pointed nose, I can clearly see his perfection from my point of view. He has explained what Q
I stopped when I saw Soldier Paulus waiting outside the room. He was leaning his back against a wall with his head looking down. When he noticed me, he immediately looked up and his eyes widened. He walked towards me and a smile formed on his lips. "So you really can't refuse the offer to stay in this-""Stupid. Your Prince forced me." I cut him off and passed by him. I was about to open the door when..."Princess." I can tell how serious he is just from the way he speaks my name. I didn't face him, instead, I waited for him to speak again."You are the only one the humanity can rely on." He seriously stated. I didn't understand him. Why me? Is it because I met the Princess they've been looking for?I sighed. Without facing him, I spoke. "Why didn't you take the princess when you had the chance? Why did you take me instead? You knew I was talking with Princess Aries, right?"Seconds have passed but I didn't get any response from him. Is he going to ignore me? What a disrespectful ali
