She isn�t really used to being alone, because before, she would have her bodyguards behind her, but now, she has no one following her. And that gave her a feeling of freedom and at the same time, nervousness.

ordered the food that she wanted and started to eat. After eating, she asked for the bill. She got her purse and started to look for her wallet, but she didn�t find it. She frantically searched for it again, and still didn�t find it. She nervously went to the counter.
�Umm, excuse me, miss,� said to the cashier, �Ah, um, I, ah, can�t find my wallet in my bag and um, I am hoping that if I could, um....�
�Ma�am,� the cashier interrupted her, �you have to talk to the manager about that.�
�Do I have to? I mean, can I just leave my watch or jewelry her, um for my payment?�
�I don�t know ma�am, you really have to talk to the manager.� sighed. She is about to answer when a man spoke.
�I�ll just pay for it.� turned around and found the most gorgeous blue eyes looking intently at her. She suddenly finds it hard to speak. She opened her mouth, but no words came out so the man gave the cashier his credit card. He was still looking at , and she can�t help but stare back at him. He was the one who broke the eye contact when the cashier thanked him.
�Uh, thank you so much,� finally spoke. The man smiled at her and she, again, finds herself staring at him.
�Miss,� came back to her senses when the man waved his hand in front of her face.
�Huh?�
�I was asking if I could take you to your home.�

�Mr. . Thank you so much...:�
�You don�t have to thank me a million times,� smiled at her. found herself staring at him again, but thankfully return to her senses after a few seconds.
�Ah, I know, it�s just that I�m new in this city and I think I�ve been robbed so I don�t really have any money or a place to stay. And I know that you are really really a nice guy. Right? I mean, you�re not asking for anything in return?�
looked at him. was about to say something, but she opened her mouth again. �Well, I know you want your money back, and I promise I�ll pay you soon. But you�re not asking for...you know...like...have...I mean, do �it�, right?�
�Yeah, I�m not asking for you and I to do �it�,� raised his right hand, �I swear.� smiled and spoke again. �So, um, , can I ask you a favor? You might think that I�m taking advantage of you, but I�m not, I just wanna...�
�Let me know your name and I will help you,� interrupted .
She sighed and replied, �I�m .�
� ...I figured you have a beautiful name, a very beautiful name, indeed.� he gave her a smile and blushed and looked away.
�So, how can I help you?� changed the subject.

�Well, I�m kinda looking for a hel...no, never mind. I�ll just ask my mates if they could...�
�No, you�re looking for what? I can do it, whatever it is.�
�I don�t think you could do it. I mean, here you are eating in a fancy restaurant, you have class and manners so I don�t think you�ll be right for the job.� said truthfully.
�Are you looking for an assistant? A maid? Helper?� nodded his head.
�I can do it,� he raised his eyebrow.
�I can do it,� repeated it firmly. �I can learn fast. I admit I don�t know any household chores but I swear I�m a fast learner.� looked at her hesitantly.
�And I won�t complain,� raised her right hand, �I swear.�
�Are you sure?�
�100%� she beamed.
�Ok.� shrieked and hugged .
�Thank you, thank you, and thank you!� was shocked at first, but eventually hugged her back. realized what she had done and broke slowly from the hug. �I�m sorry, I just got so excited.�

�How could she do this?� King said while Queen is crying.
�Your Majesty,� one of the maids knocked on their room.
�What is it?� The King opened the door.
�I saw this,� the maid handed the letter to the King, �in the Princess� room.�
�Thank you� the maid bowed and left. King approached the Queen and they read the letter together. It says....

I�m sorry that I runaway. I really can�t marry Prince because I don�t love him. You know how important it is for me to find my one true love. Forgive me for what I have done. I just need a time for myself and think things through. When I return, I promise that I will be a better person and be able to make a right decision not just for me, but also for our people.
Love,
