Chapter 473 - Four Hundred And Seventy-three: I Failed (2/2)

”Then,” He went on, ”The princess had a handsome adviser -”

”I'm guessing that's you,”

Neon blushed, ”Yes,” and he went on when she became silent, ” As a princess, she had to marry a prince. As a beautiful princess, Princes from afar came for her hand in marriage, but her father the king put all of them to a test, and out of which, a prince emerged victoriously. He was named Prince Edward,”

”Don't tell me Prince Edward is Allen?” She asked immediately.

”He is,”

”Eww,”

Allen frowned at her sister. Although he couldn't fully comprehend the story - Neon's voice was low- the dirty look from her sister was enough to narrate everything.

Neon contemplated ending the story ”Maybe, I should change -”

”No, don't. Just satisfy my anger by telling me my brother is the villain,”

”Well, sort of, he didn't get to be your true love,” Neon explained to her.

”Better, continue,”

”Prince Edward was to marry the princess, but unknown to everyone, the princess was in love with her adviser. Unfortunately, the royal advisor wasn't of royal descent, hence was qualified to ask for the princess's hand in marriage.

”Then one day, tragedy struck. A dragon attacked the kingdom and the princess was captured by it. The king was depressed and wanted his daughter back home, a responsibility which rested on the shoulder of her beloved, Prince Edward. But Prince Edward, realizing how perilous the journey was and the fact he could lose his life, turned his back on the king. He fled the kingdom... ”

Ailee burst into laughter while Allen was disturbed mentally. He knew they were talking about him, but his pride wouldn't allow him to go over there or eavesdrop on their conversation. Like come on, he was Allen, nothing moved him.

”At that moment, the royal advisor, realizing his strong feelings for the princess, stepped forward and took on the responsibility of rescuing the princess. He organized half of the king's troop and off they went, over the hills and the valleys, through the evil forest, and finally reached the forbidden tower where the dragon resided.

”It was a tough battle, fire against metals but the royal advisor prevailed. With the help of the king's men, he defeated the dragon, sending it to hell where it belonged. Done, he climbed up the tower and there he found the princess and they both embraced each other, sharing a true love kiss.

”However, the tower contained immeasurably riches and treasures captured by the dragon over the years from various kingdoms, which meant the advisor -”

”Was rich. They returned to the kingdom and for his service, the king gave him his daughter's hand in marriage. And the both of them lived happily ever after,” Ailee completed for him.

”Wow,” Neon was stunned, ”I told you my story would bore you,”

”No, it did the opposite. It made me wide awake,”

”I'm sorry, it should have made you sleep,” Neon apologized.

”You don't need to apologize since I'm up and ready,” she added, ”Right after I brush and take my bath,” Ailee got off the bed.

As soon as she left for the bathroom, Neon walked over to Allen saying, ”I failed in putting her back to sleep,”

”Yeah, you did,” Allen concurred, an evil plan already forming in his head. He sure hoped it worked.
