I will pay for it !

" Look at you , you are blushing ! " said Diego with a laugh .

" I regret not leaving you outside to continue to stare at the store . " said Charlotte and took a seat at the table near her and took the menu then covered her face with it .

" Ha ha ha ha ha ! Don't get mad dear ! She is sensitive to such topics so don't mind if she blushes easily sometimes . " said aunt Nana .

" It's hard to find a girl that blushes in such an innocent way these days . " said Diego and looked at her with a smirk .

"  I agree !........Our Charlotte is unique . " said aunty Nana with a smile looking at her .

" By the way , do you have a girlfriend ?! " asked aunty Nana with a smirk .

" No , I don't ! " said Diego .

" Good ! I like your answer . Today I will give you a discount ! What do you wanna order ?! " asked aunt Nana .

" I would like some pizza please ! " said Diego with a smile .

" It will be prepared immediately.............And.........since you are single , what about considering Charlotte as

" Stop matchmaking me with every guy friend I bring here aunt Nana ! " said Charlotte with a serious tone .

" I suddenly regret bringing you here . " said Charlotte with a troubled expression .

" And where else can you go if not here sweetie ?! If others saw you , they would immediately report you . " said aunt Nana .

" I know ! I know aunt Nana ! You are right but please be a bit more considerate of the situation too . I don't know Diego that well , he just happened to help me when the guards were after me . I brought him here just to return the favor cause he said that he wanted to eat . " said Charlotte . 

" Although you don't know him , you can get to know him . Look at how handsome he is ! " said aunt Nana and Charlotte looked at Diego who was keeping himself from laughing .

" Looks aren't everything aunt Nana ! the importance is the character of the person . " said Charlotte .

When Diego heard her words he remained a bit surprised . Every girl he met who told him that she loved him , he would ask for the reason as to why they had fallen for him and they would immediately respond for their looks . When he saw Charlotte blush he thought that maybe she was the same as the other girls but to his surprise , Charlotte had quite a different opinion about looks .

' If she knew who I really was , would she follow me around like those other girls ?!...I.....have a slight hope in my heart that she won't be like those other girls and remain the way she is now .  ' thought Diego with an enchanted smile while looking at Charlotte .

" This aunty of yours is dying to see your children running around my store ! My sweet unborn nephews ! " said aunt Nana and took a tissue to wipe her eyes .

" You would make a great crying actress aunt Nana ! I really don't know how you manage to shed tears so fast . Also , marriage is out of the question let alone children . I have a whole life in front of me . Getting married so early will only cause me a headache . " said Charlotte with a serious tone .

She looked at Diego and he still continued to keep himself from laughing .

" You are really enjoying this , aren't you ?! " said Charlotte with a forced smile .

" I admit that I am quite entertained . " said Diego with a serious expression .

" Well , good for you cause I am quite annoyed ! " said Charlotte with a forced smile .

" Are you usually this frank ?! " said Diego with a surprised expression .

" I am bad a lying so I am quite a frank person . No matter how ugly the truth is , I would still prefer to hear the truth than to hear a beautiful lie . " said Charlotte . 

" Wouldnt it be better to hear a beautiful lie ?! That way , you can be less hurt ! " said Diego .

" It doesn't matter how beautiful the lie is , in the end it still remains a lie . " said Charlotte with a calm tone .

" It still remains a lie no matter how beautiful it is.................That was quite a wise thing you just said . " said Diego with a smile .

" Thanks ! " said Charlotte .

A sudden , delicious aroma of warm pizzas and french fries started to spread to their table .

" I love this aroma aunt Nana ! Please tell m,e that the food is ready ! " said Charlotte with a warm and spoiled smile .

" They are ready ! They are ready !........Still , a lady cannot show a glutton side Charlotte . How many times do I have to tell you ?! " said aunty Nana .

" Oh , come on aunty ! You know I love your food more than anything in this world ! " said

" You don't love my food , you love the food in particular ! " said aunty Nana .

" Ha ha ha ! I really can't disagree with that ! " said Charlotte with a spoiled expression .

" Haaaaaa..............My silly girl ! " said aunty Nana with a helpless expression .

' The atmosphere around here is so warm . Although there's no carpet , waiter that parks the car , porcelain plates or golden forks and spoons , I somehow feel very relaxed here and a warm feeling captivates me all...........She is such a unique girl..........the way she behaves and blushes is quite cute too............. ' thought Diego with a smile while looking at her .

" Okay ! Here you go ! " said aunty Nana as she placed the plates with pizza and french fries in front of Charlotte and Diego .

Aunt Nana , took the pizza out from the oven and placed then on the plates . After placing them on the plates , she walked towards the table of the youngsters and placed the plates at the table .

" From their aroma , I can tell that they are delicious . Thank you madam ! " said Diego with a polite tone . 

" I am happy that you like it ! Well then children , Bon Appetite ! " said aunty Nana and went back to the kitchen .

When Diego took a bite of the pizza he felt like his mouth was melting from the warm cheese .

' This is so good ! That madam is a great cook ! far better that the pizza the royal cook prepares . Haaaa........I love this ! It's so delicious . ' thought Diego looking at the pizza .

Charlotte laughed a bit when she saw him .

" It's good , isn't it ?! " said Charlotte with a smile . 

" Extremely good ! " said Diego .

" I told you that I would bring you to a nice place with extremely delicious pizza . " said Charlotte .

" Yeah ! You did ! " said Diego and the both of them laughed .

They continued to eat . The more he ate the more satisfied he felt with the pizza .

" That madam is the owner of this place ?! " asked Diego .

" Yes ! She is a very hard working and extremely gentlewoman with bad jokes . " said Charlotte and the both of them laughed lightly at the last part of the sentence .

" I can see that the two of you are very close ! " said Diego while eating the pizza .

" Yeah , we are ! My life is too complicated and she is one of the few people who has ever been kind to me . " said Charlotte with a melancholic smile .

' Hmmmmm............she looks a little sad . ' thought Diego while eating the pizza .

" Anyway , since I am in debt to you , I will pay for the pizza and french fries ." said Charlotte while eating .

" No ! I can't let a girl pay for me . " said Diego with a serious tone .

" It was my mistake this time so don't worry about it . " said Charlotte and took the cash from her pocket out then placed it on the table .

" Aunty Nana ! I will make the payment . " said Charlotte .

" Coming sweetie ! " said aunty Nana with a smiling expression .

" I said that it isn't necessary ! " said Diego .

" And I say it is ! We won't be meeting each other anymore so.....this is the least I can do . " said Charlotte and gave aunty Nana the cash .

" Why are you leaving ?! " asked aunty Nana .

" I am already late . If I don't go back now I will be in trouble . Bye aunty Nana ! " said Charlotte then looked at Diego .

" It was nice meeting you Diego ! Bye ! I wish you luck in your life . " said Charlotte and rushed at the door before even hearing him .

" Pffftt ! What kind of goodbye was that ?! " said Diego with a warm smile .

" She is always like this . This is what makes everyone around this neighborhood like her . I personally think she is extremely cute . " said aunty Nana with a smile . 

" She left in such a hurry ! She didn't even tell me her name properly . " said Diego with a bit of a dejected smile .

" He he he ! You sure are a handsome and cute fella . " said aunty Nana .

At that moment five men in formal suits and with a strong body came towards Diego's direction .

" Hello ! How can I help you ?! " asked aunty Nana when she saw them .

' Are they here to cause trouble ?! ' thought aunty Nana .

" Don't worry madam , they are my people ! " said Diego .

" Y...Your people ?! " asked aunty Nana with a surprised expression .

" Your Highness ! You are very late for your scheduled meeting with the king of Anadol . " said one of the bodyguards looking people .

" I know , you don't need to remind me of that . I just arrived and was hungry so I took a detour . That's it  ! " said Diego with a troubled expression .

" But....Your Highness ! " said the bodyguard .

" Stop it ! I said that we will leave as soon as I finish . " said Diego with a serious tone . 

" Y...Y....Y.....Your Highness ?!...........No way ! It can't be ! I am getting old and my ears are making fun of me . How can a true royal come to my little fast food ?! " said aunty Nana with disbelief .

" I am sorry for the late introduction madam . I am the crown prince of Spain . My full name is a bit too long so you can simply call me Diego ! " said Diego with a smile .

Aunty Nana couldn't believe her ears when she heard Diego's words . The famous prince who everyone had been waiting for had let the king wait just so that he could have some pizza in her fast food .

" Y....Y.....Your Highness ! I am sorry for being impolite ! " said aunty Nana when she remembered everything that she had said .

" Oh , please ! No need for such things ! The main reason why I didn't reveal who I was was because I knew that you wouldn't be able to behave like you normally do . I am very satisfied with both the food and the warm welcome madam . " said Diego .

" Is that so ?!............It's a relief then ! " said aunty Nana with a relieved tone and expression .

" How could I be mad at madam's delicious food . I am so pleased that I would like you to follow me back to pain and hire you as a chief in my castle . " said Diego with a smile .

" A.....A......A.....chief at the royal palace ?!........Me ?! " said aunty Nana with a shocked expression .

" Yes ! If you are willing to accept my offer , you will come with us when we go back to Spain . I guarantee that the pay and room where you'll stay will be very satisfactory to you . " said Diego with a serious expression .

" I.......Thank you , Your Highness ! " said aunty Nana and bowed in front of Diego .

" Madam , if it's not too much of a bother , can you tell me who was the girl I came in with ?! " said Diego with a smirk .

" Charlotte is like my own niece to me ! She is sweet and kind . Currently she works at the royal palace as a maid there . " said aunty Nana .

" Are you sure that this is the only thing that you know ?! " asked prince Diego .

" Charlotte doesn't get well with her father . She has told me that he rarely ever came to see her and her mother . She works hard just so that she can giver her mother all the best in this world . I really admire that girl ! " said aunty Nana with a warm smile .

" As for her surname , she has told me that her surname is Anodal . I have never heard any family with this surname here in Anadol . It is very weird but I could see from the sad look on her face that she didn't like to talk about her family issues that much . Although we have discussed together about her family  , I find it inappropriate to reveal her problems to someone else without her knowing first , Your Highness ! I beg for your forgiveness but as I told you , she is a precious as a niece to me . " said aunty Nana .

" I understand ! Only her name is enough and I quite like the fact that you don't reveal other people's secrets even when you have a bright chance in front of you . " said prince Diego and got up from the chair then headed to the door .

" I had fun today madam and the pizza was delicious too . Before I leave for Spain , on of my men will come to fetch you . " said Diego .

" Yes , Your Highness ! Again , thank you so much for this opportunity . " said aunty Nana and bowed .

" Hehe ! No ! Thank you for helping me find such an interesting girl . " mumbled prince Diego with a smirk .

His bodyguards opened the door for him and he went out of the shop . After closing the door they followed him from behind .

" How is the schedule with the king ?! " asked prince Diego .

" We can still make it , Your Highness ! After getting the king of Anadol , you have to get ready for a political meeting with the leaders of Anadol to discuss the business plan that was prepared for the markets ." said one of the bodyguards who was checking the schedule on his phone .

" Good ! Let's go and meet the king of Anadol ! " said prince Diego with a smile .
