Chapter 48: 48: Cutie Prince
Eden was still locked up inside his room while the dinner that night went on.
The guards had reported to Elvis that he sneaked out, so they had tightened his security.
Eden angrily sat in bed with Lenny. "I said we’d be partners and not him locking me up here like a prisoner. Who does he think he is?"
"That’s what you get for making a deal with a dominating tyrant" Lenny sighed.
"I mean.. I’m supposed to be out there for dinner with them. The other male lead is back and I need to meet him if I want to snatch him for my harem" Eden snapped.
"You know they won’t even let you cross the table even if you’re not locked up in here" Lenny pointed out.
"I’d still find my way at least" Eden sighed.
He ran a hand through his head "Jeez I’m going to make that crown prince pay for treating me like a prisoner. This is so annoying"
Eden already imagined starting off early with meeting prince Lysander. He was an easy target so he wouldn’t be much of a stress.
But this was messing with his plans.
"Don’t worry. You can still get him tomorrow. We’ll find a way out by then" Lenny assured.
Eden thought "I guess tomorrow then. I have to stage the perfect meeting"
*******
The next day, Eden had sorted out his plans with Lenny. And they made their escape from the window.
Eden knew where to find Prince Lysander at that moment. He was certain he would be at the garden where he mostly enjoyed strolling through.
And so Eden made a plan towards it.
Prince Lysander was one fascinated by little animals like cats and stuff. He was a Sofie indeed. The youngest amongst the leads for a reason. One who was still a child in heart.
And so Eden had Lenny head to the garden so prince Lysander could find him. And Lenny was off.
After a while, Eden made his way to the garden so he would "accidentally" bump into Prince Lysander who had found the cute cat.
*******
Eden made his way into the garden. The Royal garden is adorned with flowers from all over the world.
It was a beautiful sight, Prince Lysander bending down to pat the cat he had seen in the garden. He had a broad smile on his face.
He was intrigued by the little animal. And he most certainly adored it as he endlessly stroked its furs.
Eden watched him for a while before he slowly made his way towards him. "I believe that’s my cat..."
Prince Lysander now looked up "Oh.This..."
Lysander got up to his feet as Lenny walked off to Eden’s legs. Eden picked it up in his arms.
Prince Lysander stared in amusement "That’s yours? That’s fascinating"
"Yes. It’s mine" Eden said, now staring at Prince Lysander who had his eyes on the cat. "Do you want to pat it for awhile?"
"Sure. If you’ll let me" He smiled.
Eden placed Lenny on the ground as the both of them bent down, watching the cat lick it’s paws. Prince Elvis’s gently stroked it’s back.
"You seem to like it a lot." Eden said. Of course he knew he liked it.
Prince Lysander nodded with a smile "Yes"
"If you want to play with you, you can always come to me. I’ll let you have it for as long as you want" Eden offered.
Lenny cast Eden a glare that obviously read "FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT? AM I SOME SORT OF PROPERTY??"
Lysander seemed pleased as he smiled excitedly "Is that so?"
Eden who ignored Lenny’s murderous glare nodded "Yes"
Prince Lysander was overjoyed "Thanks"
He then asked after a short while."Do you stay here in the palace? Are you a servant?"
Eden blinked "Well. Kind of..."
"Oh I see" Prince Lysander turned to the cat again "I guess we’ll become friends so we can meet in secret when I want to play with it"
He smiled and Eden couldn’t stop staring at his smile.
HE WAS ADORABLE!
Eden had only read about him. And the author had described him as everything he was now.
The blonde prince with a adorable face and smile and all. He was so friendly and jovial. And so could come off as very naive.
One in his position would be cautious of a stranger. But he casually accepted this stranger as friend just because he has a cat!
Eden found it cute nevertheless. He found Lysander cute.
Lysander as a character had an adorable charm that reader’s enjoyed. He was always everyone’s second favourite and overall third most popular male lead character.
He would mostly be the second favourite of anyone who had another favourite that wasn’t him. He was adored. And a whole green flag.
Perhaps because he was still young and childlike. He was 19. Or maybe that he was his nature. He was just youthful and adorable.
He was a prince who didn’t seem to care about political stands or whatsoever. He just wanted to be free and have fun. But his mother wouldn’t let him.
"Mother won’t let me have any pets. Thanks for sharing" Prince Lysander casually said.
"Sure" Eden said, still staring at his face. He was just loveable. And to Eden, he was the safest male lead amongst the others.
"It likes you too" Eden said as the two of them stroke the cat.
"It does? How do you know?" Prince Lysander asked, excited.
Lenny cast Eden another glare. One that questioned Eden with the "Yeah, how do you know" eyes.
"I just do" Eden smiled.
"Then I guess I should play with it more" Prince Lysander seemed happy while Lenny panicked.
"Why doesn’t your mum let you play with them if you like them so much?" Eden asked, he wanted to get closer to Prince Lysander.
Prince Lysander hesitated for a while. "She says it’ll distract me" He said.
"From what?" Eden asked.
"From The Royal duties and all. She only wants me to focus on being a perfect prince and engaging in royal duties"
