" 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 .
The entrance of the servant's door was still blocked by the giant truck .' It seems like they were telling the truth ! The door really is blocked ! I can't believe that something lucky actually happened to me . Not only has the truck blocked the way , but I also found the secret hole the servant mentioned . When I searched for it and couldn't find it , I feared that my money went to waste . ' thought Charlotte with a relieved expression .She looked at the entrance and saw that the guards weren't patrolling outside .Charlotte took this chance and ran inside then went towards the horse's stables . She ran so quickly that no one properly noticed her . After she entered the horse's stables , she looked at the hour on the wall . When she noticed that there were only forty minutes before the head maid came to check her . She rushed to get the cleaning tools and started to clean the place like crazy .' I need to finish this before that old witch comes here a
Charlotte was a good girl but her behavior as a lady lacked a lot .' Where am I lacking in my education ?!.......I am sure that I have taught her how to be a good and delicate lady yet she.............With each passing day , i feel like I have given birth to a son and not a daughter ! Haaaa...................How will she be able to find her prince when she is like this ?! ' thought Catherine with a worried expression .She liked the fact that her daughter was strong and resourceful but at the same time she didn't want her to be too strong . Girls were a bit delicate no matter how strong-willed they were . In her daughter's case , it seemed like she had lost all that delicate side of hers when she was only just a child .Half an hour later , Charlotte had already worn her pajamas and dried her hair ." Mother ! " said Charlotte with a smile ." My beautiful daughter ! " said Catherine with a warm smile when she saw how much her daughter
He stayed silent and looked at her as she looked at the moon and closing her eyes then praying as if her life depended on that prayer that she was making .' What is she praying for ?!............She seems like she is putting her whole heart into this . She must be praying for something or...........someone important to her . ' thought Diego and continued to look at her ." I really hope that at least once the moon can hear me make my wish come true ! I haven't been that lucky lately ! Please !! " said Charlotte ." What is this wish that you so much pray for miss ?! " said Diego with a smirk .Charlotte turned her head back and remained surprised when she saw that it was Diego . She was so surprised that she couldn't believe her own eyes ." D....D.....Diego ?! " said Charlotte surprised ." We meet again , miss Charlotte ! What a strange coincidence , don't you think ?! " said Diego ." ..Aaaa......Yeah ! Very strange ! " said Charl
After prince Diego left the meeting , he went down the stairs to go to the garden where Charlotte was . Without even realizing it himself , his feet were walking on their own towards Charlotte . In his eyes, she was like a shiny ray of sun that brought a nice breeze along with the light . A breeze that made Diego feel less bored and suffocated from the daily life filled with papers to sign and diplomatic discussions to solve . A life where he was surrounded by richness and gold but at the same time isolated from all and everything that could be considered useless .' I have always been taught that a king has a high burden and shouldn't avert his eyes for even a second . His life is not his ! The life of a king belongs to his country . Although it's modern times now , some rules.....remain just like in the past...........Still , I am a person too . Aren't I allowed to take a break ?!........... To enjoy my own life and to see the bright light right in front of me without needi
Apart from the modern human world , the earth , another parallel world existed , a whole world on its own that was connected to earth through a secret portal . The other world , was filled with dragos , magicians , witches , mystical creatures and demons . A world that humans think it only exists in fairytales for children............but no ! It was real and this magical world was ruled by king Damien PenDraco , a pure dragon . The PenDraco famiy's dragons were the strongest among the other dragons . Dragons in this world were a bit different from normal dragons . They had the form similar to human . They could transform into dragons too but most of the time they remained in a human form body . All of the dragons had this ability , all , except one.......king Damien . He could turn into a dragon but he could never achieve a human form body like the other dragons . The PenDraco family was cursed since ancient times due to an incident that happened hundreds of years ago . They w
Before entering her room , she checked if her mother was around . Charlotte didn't want her mother to see her in that state and worry then cry for her . She would rather cry and endure everything on her own than cause her mother any concerns ." Luckily my mom isn't here ! " said Charlotte and hurried into the bathroom .She took her clothes and the spaghetti from her hair . She looked at herself in the mirror while taking the sticky spaghetti off her hair and the tears that fell on her soft cheek ." Why are you crying Charlotte ?!............Will crying solve you any problem ?!........You are already miserable enough . Don't let your face get any worse ! " said Charlotte while looking at her reflection in the mirror and at her hands with blood .' I try but the tears just won't stop from falling . What's wrong with me ?!........Why is my heart so hurt ?!........It's not like it's the first time they pick on me.........Maybe because the pain keeps accumu
" Emmm.........I.......Sorry ! My hand just...... " said Charlotte with a nervous and shy expression ." Ha ha ha ! Your really cute miss angel !............. " said Diego with a smile ." Thank you ?!.... " said Charlotte and Diego found it even harder to keep himself from laughing ." Ha ha ha ha ha ha ! What's with the question tone ?!......... " said Diego while laughing .' Wow , his smile is too shiny !.......It's bad for the heart . ' thought Charlotte with her face blushing hard ." So.........will you do me the honor of accepting my request for this dance ?! " said Diego .Charotte looked at him again and smiled the left the plate with sweets on the table ." If.......If........If you don't mind me , stepping on your foot a couple of times then it is fine with me ! " said Charotte with a shy expression .' I won't be able to dance with such a handsome looking person again so I might as wel make full use of this opportu
The two of them looked at each other's eyes , as if time stopped . A few seconds later the song finished and the applause of the other people filled the room ." The song finished ! " said Charlotte ." I know !.....Too bad ! It seemed very short ! " said Diego without looking away from her ." .......It was nice dancing with you sir ! I am relieved that I didn't step on your toes much ! " said Charlotte with a laugh ." Hehe ! Yeah ! I am relieved about that too !......... " said Diego .He looked at Charlotte and took her hand then smiled at her in a gentle way then slowly placed his lips down her hand ." I am really enjoyed this dance beyond my imagination ! Thank you my angel lady . " said Diego ." I enjoyed it too sir ! " said Charlotte a bit flushed ." Will the two of us have the chance to dance again ?! " asked Diego , not willing to let go of her hand ." Maybe in the future...........but not tonight , g
" Oh , Damien !..... " said Charlotte touched by how much he was willing to do and endure for her . " Tsk ! Hateful dragon ! " said prince Diego displeased . Kana looked at king Damien with admiration . During the week that Kana and Charlotte spent time with each other , she told her about king Damien and what she had been through in the other world . At first Kana was a bit worried for her sister but when she saw Damien , she took a breath of relief . " I see that you are going to marry my sister-in-law so I think we should set aside our grudges . " said king Damien . " Sister-in-law ?!..... " said Kana
" N…..No need ! I trust you now . " said Charlotte blushing ." My , my ! What a pity that you were convinced so fast though . We could have gone a little further.....What made up your mind , princess ?" said king Damien with a smirk ." Your perverted behaviour . " said Charlotte annoyed ." You should know that I only behave like this when I am with you . " said king Damien .When Charlotte heard this phrase , she was convinced that he was Damien . He had said the same thing to her before too . She looked at him surprised and couldn't help but touch his face mesmerised ." Is...is it really you ? " asked Charlotte .King Damien could feel her small hand trembling as she held his face which looked flawless . He knew that her emotions now were a mix of happiness , guilt , fear and excitement .Looking at her face , a tear fell from
The handsome man still couldn't help but laugh at the childish-sounding words of Charlotte ." You said that you owe me one for saving you . " said the handsome man ." Yes , I do ! Also , you arrived at a good time . Now I am not a simple powerless princess . I have power now . You can tell me what would you desire for saving me . A luxurious villa ? A royal diamond ? Bank account with lots of money ? " said Charlotte ." I don't need any of those . " said the handsome man ." Looking at how you are dressed , I am not surprised . Tell me ! What do you want ? But don't forget . I gave you a hairpin that was extremely important to me . I want that to be returned to me . " said Charlotte with a smirk ." In comparison to the other royal jewels , that hairpin isn't that much valuable . " said the handsome man ." It has a deep meaning to me since my
' He is determined to give me a heart attack . ' thought Kana blushing like a tomato . Looking at her face , Charlotte could tell what she was thinking and couldn't help from laughing . " I....I have done a lot of wrongdoings to my sister . I never want to hurt her again . I am thrilled that you love me . I love you too but I cannot suffer the pain of making my sister sad . I would rather become a nun than hurting my sister again . I also am confident that I won't fall in love with another person so becoming a nun is the best option for me . " said Kana with a determined expression . ' Pffft ! That silly girl is so funny !....for the first time in kore than a decade, I can see the resemblance in our genes . ' thought Charlotte who was barely holding herself from laughing . " Haaaah ! You two sisters really...…..Kana ! Charlotte was the one who helped me sort out my own emotions . When I saw y
Before he walked away he turned his head and looked at Charlotte again . " Charlotte , thank you for bumping into me that day and giving me the chance to meet someone as awesome as you . " said Diego . " I should also thank you . Thank you for following me with my silly escape that time and for giving me justice....brother . " said Charlotte with a warm smile . " Sister ! " said Diego happy and went to the garden to search for Kana . As she looked at Diego's back , the heavy feeling in her heart started to get lighter . She finally felt like she wouldn't be alone even if her mother , Damien , Tia , Dylan and the annoying George were away and hated her . When she was about to go a masked man appeared in front of her . Just like their first ball , the current ball also wanted the participants to wear masks . Charlotte looked at him doubtful . During the whole tome she had be
The beautiful ballroom of Anadol's royal palace was filled with the most important people . Everyone was gathered under the name of Diego but in reality , this was a welcoming ball for Charlotte . Diego noticed that she didn't feel that happy these days as she sighed and looked at the sky so he decided to throw a ball with the hope that he would make her smile again . Over the past week that Charlotte had been there , she hadn't smiled much ." I am happy that you came . " said Diego with a warm smile ." Staying in my room all day will do me no good . " said Charlotte .The two of them smiled at each other and looked at the dance floor filled with people . The music soon started and different couples of men and women were formed . As they danced , Charlotte looked at them with a cheerful expression ." Wanna dance ? " said Diego who noticed that she seemed to enjoy the scene of people dancing .
" Oh , so she did it for me ?! She did this to save me ?! Seriously ! What's with you ?! You hated her when she was nice not that she is mean you suddenly protect her ?!........Weird ! " said king Damien laughing with a dry smile ." Because I can see how much she loves you and how much she is willing to do for you . The look you two have is the same as mine with Catherine . I doubted her , I really did but now............I am never doubting the words she told me . Nor her immense feelings for you . " said chancellor George ." You better cut off these bullshits of lies , chancellor . " said king Damien ." Do you really think I am lying , your majesty ? " said chancellor George ." Goerge , who would fall in love with a monster ?!.........Even if I unite this crystal and regain my original appearance...........What's the use ?!.................For the first time in my life , I star
" It's rather cold today . How about we have some tea together ? " said Charlotte with a smile ." Yes 1 Immediately ! " said Kana with an excited expresison .At the other world , Chancellor George looked at king Damien and felt perturbed . He was still looking at the crystal in his hands as his energy continued to be drawn by the crystal of power . Damien took the glass of wine next to him and continued to drink ." Your majesty , this is the third bottle of wine you have opened in less than two hours . " said chancellor George ." I am not in the mood to argue with you . Get out !....Cough ! Cough ! " said king Damien as he coughed because of his energy continuously being drained ." You need to put that crystal back with the other half of the crystal or else you will become worse . " said chancellor George with a worried expression ." I don't care . " sa
When Charlotte arrived at the door of the royal palace of Anadol , she felt like she had once again returned to her previous prison .' .......I am back to this prison once again . ' thought Charlotte as she looked at the majestic doors from which she had always forbidden to cross when she lived there before getting married ." Charlotte ? " said prince Diego when he saw her looking at the doors ." It's nothing ! I just feel a bit weird , that's it . " said Charlotte with a smile .He grabbed her hand and softly placed a kiss on it when he saw how anxious she looked ." I have gotten rid of all the things that may disturb you . You will never face anything bad here . This place is yours . You can do whatever you like , you can even punish the king if you want . I will be here holding your back . " said prince Diego with a warm smile .Charlotte smiled when she heard him and felt happy that she had someone that would always be by her side in
