REVERIE OF THE AWAKEN MIND

Chapter 28

"Are you okay?" Stanley asked Amara and the lady was kind off felt this awkward.

Maybe she thought he was acting strange, the truth was that, he wished he made friends with her a long time ago, maybe he didn't waste those times that he hadn't make a good relationship with Amara.

He was thinking about the peace of her life she always want, he was thinking about her to have a quiet life inside the Holy University for he knew Hailey. Hailey would never make Amara live her life in peace and he wasn't wrong. Because by now, the reason he kept on thinking why he chose to stay away from Amara was now happening.

His distance was became worthless. Now, he won't llet anybody touch Amara's tip of fingers even a strand of her hair. He would always make sure that Amara would have the life away from any royals cruelty. If only he can use the Prince card he has, he would surely use it. Unfortunately, there are things that he wasn't allowed to do even for the benefits of good.

"Prince ---"

"Let's talk in private, Amara," he cut her off when she speak.

He needs to talk to her for he felt like, all of a sudden he needs to talk with her, he needs to understand how she works on with her mind. How she thinks and what are her thought. Amara was the reserved being he knew in his entire life, aside from one thing that he knew about her, he didn't know anything about her anymore.

Amara glanced at Gillian, sighed and nodded for she think that the Prince wouldn't leave her alone. She was still at the atmosphere of like had those Holiesters around her trying to make her fall into her knees like she was crazy.

*"Are you going to be okay?"* she Gillian asked over her mind. She gave her the smile that would satisfy Gillian.

*"Yes, plus, this won't take too long,"* she replied nodding and that made Gillian turned her at her to give the Prince the time he asked.

"I honestly don't think we have something important to talk, Prince Stanley," she broke the silence when Gillian was finally gone meters away from them.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when Hailey attacked you in front of so many Holiesters. I could've stop---"

"That was not your responsibility, Prince Stanley. It's not your responsibility to stop Hailey doing something against me. I can handle her, plus, I don't matter," she replied and cut Stanley off.

She heard how the Prince took a deep breath and sighed before he again lifted his head back fo see her.

"I should have been always at your back. Amara, I have been dealing with the anger against myself and the pain that striked me whenever I see you in your down. I couldn't help you, I couldn't lend a hand to you because of the reasons I once thought are helping you," he uttered that immediately bothered her a lot.

She looked at Stanley while listening the loudest of her heartbeat. What the heck he was talking about? All this time, she was always been looking at Stanley along with Kean and Hailey who acted like he didn't see the happenings around Holy Land, and that what made her furious about the future King himself.

"You can call me whatever you want, you can call me names and all. I was a ----"

"Prince Stanley, please stop talking," she interrupted and sighed bowing her down 45 degree before she looked back at him, "I do not know what you are implying. I do not know what's your problem, all I know was that, I was put in the hot seat by the royal without doing anything bad," she added while looking straight to the Prince's eyes despite of the loudest heartbeat she herself could hear from inside her body.

"I just want to make friends with you, Amara. Let's be friends, I have always dreamt to be your friend from day 1," Stanley answered and narrowed Amara's eyes for she really don't understand why the f*ck all of a sudden this guy's offering her a friendship.

She just couldn't believe it, it could be a trick for someone like her — a class 2 Holiesteres to fell into the game of these royals.

"I don't know why are you offering me a friendship, Prince Stanley. I just to let you know that I don't want to get into you royals and with you, making friends with me will surely boil Hailey's blood and she again won't hesitate to attack me," she responded directly without even thinking of filtering her words.

Amara felt something inside of her that kind off moved and tightened her nerves, she couldn't tell what was it but it was really tightening her nerves that was also starting to be painful. What the hell is this. She tried to never make a move in front of the Prince's eyes for surely it would make him confuse and who knows, he would want to know what the hell was happening.

Prince Stanley was about to open his mouth to speak when suddenly, a growl of a wild animals echoed the whole place they were standing. The two of them widened their eyes when they spotted this strange animal they do not know what it's called. It was walking towards their location and the shadow of it was giving them a shade. This huge animal towered the two of them and by just looking at it, they can say it was wild and strong.

It also has this long tail, huge pangs, big head and that red eyes. Amara looked at her waist when she felt the Prince's arms suddenly get wrapped around her body from behind. She gulped and couldn't help but to look at the Prince and she saw him gritting his teeth while looking seriously that animal. By his stand, she can tell that he was so ready, getting ready to fight this strange creature.

They were kind off distance from the corridor and the quadrangle of the Holy University, they wonder if the other Holiesters inside heard the growl of this creature. It wasn't looking like an ordinary animal, they have never seen like this their whole lives. Plus, upon looking at it, I was kind off looking like controlled. Although it was also obvious that it has it's own life.

"Stand back, Amara," Stanley eventually said and even used a strength to forcedly put Amara behind him. "Please, this one doesn't look like easy to fight, please," he begged and Amara only gulped while looking straight to the Prince's begging eyes.

She nodded and stood up behind him. She was looking at the Prince until that creature released a fire ball from it's mouth. Amara's eyes widened for she only noticed it when Prince Stanley hugged her to bring her dodge with him.

"Sh*t!" he cursed.
