23 Hide & Seek (1/2)

\”Please Mister.....Can I hide in this room?\”

Even though it just a hide and seek game, I just don't want weird rumors about it spread but I guess maybe I am just overthinking. I let Princess Melia enter my room.

\”Mister, can you promise to not tell the maid that I hiding here?\”

\”Okay...\”

Princess Melia then shut the door as she quickly hides under the bed. After a few minutes, I hear my door being knocked by someone. I suspect that it was the maid that play hide and seek with the princess. I open the door gently as the maid apologizes to me as they were interrupting my rest.

\”We are sorry, Sir to interrupt your rest but did you see Princess Melia around here?\”

Should I tell them but hey I already made a promise to the princess. \”No, but why are you searching for the princess.\”

The maid told me that Princess Melia was skipping her dance lessons and they need to find the princess or else her mother will be mad at them. I should never let her in and made a promise to her, now I caught up in this problem.

\”Please tell us if you see Princess Melia around here, We are sorry again to interrupt your rest.\” The maid then leaves the area to continue their search for the princess.

I tell Princess Melia that the maid is already gone and she can come out from her hiding. After hearing my word, Princess Melia crawls out under my bed and thanks me.

\”Thank you, Mister, here some candy for you...\”

I took the candy that given for me, I never candy as it always tastes weird for me so I give the candy to Lily. Princess Melia was pretty upset when I give the candy to Lily.

\”What's wrong, Princess Melia?\”

\”I give it to you but you give it to this girl instead of eating it yourself.\”

I apologize to Princess Melia as I explain to her that I don't like sweet things and that's why I give it to Lily instead. Princess Melia was still not happy as her facial expression look angry but a few minutes later she calms down a bit and then she asks me a question.

\”Mister what are you doing here? I never saw your face around here.\”

\”I am a diplomat sent by the Golkiem Kingdom and....\” I was interrupted by Princess Melia as she suddenly pops another question to me, asking me what is a diplomat. \”A diplomat is a person appointed by one kingdom to conduct diplomacy with one or more another kingdom.\”

I could tell that Princess Melia still did not understand what a diplomat means. As I try to explain, she pops another question again.
