Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 89 - Journey

Rose was excited to go to Star city for the first time since she left. Star city was her mother's hometown. It was the hometown of the Royal family before her mother got married to her dad.

When the kingdoms merged, A city became the capital of the United kingdoms. It was actually a happy occasion for all the kingdoms that merged during that period but things did not seem as good at it appeared in the surface.

The underlying problems were not visible to just anyone but she knew very well what she passed through with her mother before her mother died.

She might have gotten her memories back and also remembered how she died in her past life but she also suffered with her mother and she could not remember what really happened.

She remembered being carried by her mother into a car in the night after getting kidnapped. She could not remember what happened between the time she was kidnapped and the day her mother escaped with her.

She had not made any effort to get those memories back because she was already surrounded with enough painful memories that haunted her both night and day that she almost did not want to add to her pain and suffering..

She sighed and stared out of the window of the plane. Her sister was sleeping in front of her. It was going to be a short journey and it made her nervous, more nervous than she have ever been in both her lives.

Anna must have been so tired from running around in name of preparing for the journey to sleep in such a short period of time. Anna used to go to Star city when she still worked for her mother as a child model and before she got kidnapped.

It was not a surprise that she could sleep and was not very excited.

She stood up and adjusted the blanket her sister covered herself with. Anna moved a little but continued sleeping with a sigh.

"I told her to rest last night. She is missing out on seeing such beautiful view. I could never get tired of it," Debby said shaking her head disappointedly.

"She needs to rest, we are going to have a lot of things to do as soon as we arrive," Rose responded as she returned to her seat. She covered her legs with a blanket and leaned back.

"We are going to rest as soon as we arrive. I might have slept earlier than Anna did but I am very tired. I need as much rest as I can get. Fun starts tomorrow," Debby told Rose as she stared out of the window with a mesmerized expression on her face.

"That's not bad. I think that is what Anna planned too," Rose said picking her hand bag and pulled out a paper Anna printed and gave them earlier showing their schedule.

"I don't think I will do anything apart from sleeping as soon as we arrive," Debby said also checking her schedule.

"We have a lot of time planned for ourselves alone," Rose voiced her observation.

"Yeah, I guess she intends to spend all those time with him," Debby murmured playfully glaring at her sleeping friend. "He is going to take us around the campus on Wednesday. Have you ever felt he was weird?"

"How?" Rose had to ask confused. She have not had much interaction with the teacher. He seemed not to like her much but from her observation, he was really quiet and nice around other people but he seemed to be really friendly with Anna.

He reminded her of someone she had been trying really hard not to remember for a couple of days now. Liam was cold and always felt like a distant deity someone sees but can't touch or too scared to try touching but he seemed very different when alone with her.

Although she registered it on her mind that he did it because he wanted something from her but she knew he still treated her very differently and that was what she saw when Anna interacted with the mathematics teacher.

She was totally against whatever was going on between them considering a lot of facts but she found out he was nice to Anna and took care of her and she could not object any longer.

She wanted her sister to be happy and if she was happy with the man, then she had no reason to object. Ever since they finished their examinations, her sister seemed to be a lot more open about their friendship or whatever relationship was between them.

"He makes me scared," Debby said in a whisper as she made herself comfortable on the seat beside Rose.

"It is not proper to gossip," Rose warned Debby as she reached for her earpods.

"I am very sincere about this. I think we need to watch out for your sister. She needs to be protected. The man is not as nice as he seems to be. The fact that he will show us around the campus actually scares me," Debby murmured sincerely.

Rose felt the sincerity in her friends statement. Debby did not sound like her usual gossipy self she always sounded like when she wants to have fun talking about someone.

Debby sounded concerned and the concern in her eyes when she glanced at Anna who was sleeping did not escape her notice.

"She is going to be fine," Rose encouraged her worried friend before wearing her earpods.

"I hope so," Debby answered as she stood up to return to her seat. "You should also be careful."

Rose furrowed her brow at that but did not ask any question as she pretended to listen to music.

From the moment of her rebirth, she knew she knew she had to be careful and not make any mistake or it might cost her life. That was why she was so lonely.

She had people who cared about her around her but they knew nothing about her inner struggles. They knew nothing of the secret she had to hide to remain alive.

"Is he really scary?" Anna asked Rose when she sat down close to her sister in the car that drove them to their apartment.

"Uh?" Rose asked shocked with her lips slightly parted.

"Is he really scary? Does he scare you too?" Anna asked again watching her sister closely.

Rose opened her mouth to speak but closed it pressing her lips tightly together when she could not come up with the right answer that won't offend her sister.

"I heard Debby tell you he was scary," Anna continued when he sister did not answer her.

"I . . .," Debby began explaining but shut her mouth when Anna glared at her.

"I think he has a dangerous vibe too," Anna said looking down at her fingers. "But like I said months ago, he stopped the nightmare I was suffering from."

"Oh . . ." Rose could only say.

"I found out he was nicer than I thought. I like him now. He understands me so much. I think he is my soulmate," Anna said now looking at Rose with her eyes shining with excitement.

"I also think he has a dangerous vibe and I don't think he likes me at all," Rose said in a small voice avoiding her sister's gaze.

"He does not hate you trust me. Why will he dislike you for no reason?" Anna asked and Rose shook her head. "He is just a little reserved. Debby, if you think there is a problem, shouldn't you talk to me first?" Anna asked glaring at her friend.

"Sorry," Debby apologized.

"I know a pretty good restaurant we could have our dinner. It's really close to the apartment building," Anna said with a smile and rubbed her abdomen. "I am famished."
