Rhyker

Library

HEMILIA

"Hemilia, try to think." I said to myself, frowning my eyebrows hard.

"You can do this." I encouraged myself and sighed heavily.

I looked at my computer and note down the important and essential information that could help me for my presentation.

I have a presentation tomorrow, the theme is about natural herbs that could heal any wounds. Of course, tomorrow I will be laughed at by my classmates but I can't fail this presentation.

"Crap! Where is my Gelium book?" I said panicked, ruffling through my folders.

"Faine, do you know where is my Gelium book?" I asked loudly to my roommate who is into deep slumber, she snored in response.

"Thanks, Faine." I rolled my eyes annoyed and sighed deeply.

"Ah, fucking bitch." I insulted myself and slapped my cheek.

Maybe I forgot to pick the book out of the library.

The library is close down this hour, but this presentation is important and I can't fail.

I don't want to be a bad girl but I have to do this, I took my long white coat out of my chair and walked out of the dormitory with slow steps.

I turned to the left and easily walked out of the dormitory, I put on the white cape that I was holding and put on the hood so that no one will recognize me.

Outside is cold and chilly, the night is dark and dangerous for a woman to step out but I was going to be a physician, so that's why I have to face my fears. The library was close to the dormitory, I opened the door with my power and it opened itself. I walked up the spiral stairs.

The library was big enough to fit 300 people here, it was created by the King of Rosla for people who needed resources.

The King of Rosla is a powerful king who ruled the country, he made this country like heaven thanks to his son intelligence.

He has 4 sons, three of them were neglected by the king except for the third prince.

Prince Rhyker.

The Prince is a brilliant person since he was a kid, he showed amazing information and had looks that were amazed by the women here in Rosla.

Every supernatural fell in love with his look, people tried to copy his look, but nobody could reach his level. He was a celebrity and a God that no one can touch him.

I only saw him on TV and apparently he is also studying here in Hevialia Academy to fulfil his training to be the king.

His coronation will be next year, he's 21 and he has to be 22 to receive his crown.

I personally don't fall in love with him because he wouldn't meet a normal physician anyway, he had a story with Princess Flora. The beautiful and kind woman. They deserved to be together.

I only respect his hard work and his way of speaking when he spoke in front of the TV. I remembered in the living room that Faine, my friend squealed loudly when she listened to him speak.

He had a deep and husky voice, his voice full of dominance and attractiveness.

I wouldn't say that it didn't attract me, it was beautiful I can agree but he doesn't know my existence. As I said, he's a celebrity. I was focusing on my dream and worked hard to prove that woman can also work in the medical/magical field.

Since I was a kid, my parents showed me love and happiness just like other kids, I wasn't from Rosla. I'm from a small village that is far from here. My parents wanted me to work in the best academy in the country. They sent me to the prestigious academy, Hevialia situated in Rosla.

I was the lucky person in my village to get a scholarship from them. After middle school, you have to get into an academy to achieve your dream job. I remembered that people from middle school stopped talking to me because I had powers and had the ability to go to a magic academy.

Let me explain to you the school system here in Rosla.

Everyone who inherited magical powers from their ancestors are most likely to be successful, they can use their powers whenever they want. I inherited my grandfather powers which my parents were proud of me.

Powers are important here in Rosla, without the power of Prince Rhyker. This country wouldn't be a heaven place.

Since then, they respected people with powers and didn't judge them.

I reached the hallway which has all type of natural herbs books, I searched the Gelium book from the shelves and didn't find anything.

I looked at the dead end of the hallway and saw a man sitting on the window, holding a book. It was dark and I couldn't see his face precisely. If it was my classmate, I would be dead because they will snitch on me.

I squinted my eyes harder to look at the man, but it was hard when there is no light. Suddenly the natural light from the moon, showed his figure and also his face.

He was handsome.

He was sitting on the window, his back against the wall. His eyes reading lazily the contents of the book. The book he was holding was the book that I was searching for, Gelium.

I frowned and look at his side face, his nose was upturned with gorgeous features, his hazel eyes narrowed on the book, his soft, pulping lips forming a thin line.

He was wearing the same uniform as me except for men, they are wearing black pants and the same design of the blouse. But I don't recognize him as my classmate.

He turned his face toward me and I widened my eyes in shock.

He was absolutely the handsome man here in Rosla and he was also the prince.

The third prince.

Prince Rhyker was here, right in front of my face. I can't believe it.

I rubbed my eyes harshly, snapping out of my dream, but it wasn't a dream.

He was really here.

"Is this your book?" He held the book toward me, with a smirk.

His voice is just like I imagined, it was deep and husky.

I gulped nervously and bowed clumsily in front of him.

"Your royal h-highness." I stuttered.

Damn me and my stuttering.

"Don't need to bow at me, I can see that you are in my academy." He said, with richness flowing in his voice as he pointed out my uniform.

His damn voice is making my brain fuzzy.

"I can't-t, I have to bow to you." I said, letting my head down. It was rude to stare at his eyes.

"I give you permission to look at my eyes, it's even rude to speak without looking at me." He snapped and I immediately looked at him.

"I apologize, your royal highness."

"Is this your book?" He repeated and I nodded involuntarily.

"I can't believe I met a woman who is pursuing to be a physician." He chuckled with amazement and handed me my book. I took the book with shaky hands.

"I'm Rhyker, well you already know me." He smiled and held his hand out.

"I'm Hemilia." I said while holding my book tightly.

"Aren't you going to shake my hand?" He asked playfully and I gasped, I shook hands with him, with my sweaty hands. I'm ashamed.

He chuckled lightly and held tight on my hand as if he didn't want to leave me.

Wait, what.

Shut up Hemilia.

"W-well then I have to go." I said in a rush, putting my book in the tote bag.

"Wait, why you can't stay here and talk to me? It would be fun to talk with people who are close to my age." He suggested but I have to refuse since I have a presentation and couldn't stay here longer or I will get in trouble.

"I can't, the supervisor will punish me if I get caught here." I shook my head, frantically.

"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you are with me, you are safe." He smiled gently, he got out of the window seat and stood up straight. He was tall, while I looked like a shrimp next to him.

"Well, I can't ruin your reputation." I said, lifting my head up so that I can see him. He was tall like a giraffe, dude.

"What are you talk—"

"I'm sorry, I have to go. Have a good night, your royal highness." I interrupted him and bow at him before leaving the library with a sprint.

I just realized that I made the dumb mistake ever, disrespecting the royal highness.

Gosh, I'm so stupid.

It's not like I will see him again anyway.
