7 Chapter 7 : I will protect you (1/2)

As Usui and Zelal were about to take their leave, they heard a loud shattering noise outside the hall and saw guards running towards the direction.

Aghast, the king along with the queen, Hazel and her guards rushed to follow them. Zelal found the situation curious that he dragged his brother along with him to find out what made the king anxious.

Usui grimaced,” Where are you dragging me too? ” and shoved his hand away from his sleeve.

” Didn't you find it strange that someone managed to crash into this palace?”

Zelal couldn't hide the shine in his eyes as he asked his brother. Usui glanced at his brother's curious nature and cursed in his heart.

Zelal couldn't wait any longer so he yanked his brother by his sleeve and proceeded to follow them while Usui just gave in to his brother's whims.

Both of them saw a group gathered around the inner hall, and made their way to the front of the crowd and stood right behind the princess. And, what they saw widened Usui's eyes with surprise.

He saw a little boy on the floor, staring blankly at the broken vase beside him. His cheeks were puffed and was trying to hold his tears back and what about the boy did he get surprised about?

Because the little chubby boy was none other than Rin. He wondered how this little boy managed to get inside the hall but he got his answer soon.

When Julian saw the boy , he immediately went towards the boy and picked him up, ”Son , why arent you in bed?”

Everyone on hearing the king addressing the boy as son realized that this was the little prince they heard about ,the prince who was really brilliant and could outshine the adults.

” So that's the little prince.”

” He's so cute. Just look at him .. aww”

”I want to pinch his cheeks.”

The little boy sobbed pitifully,” Father, I saw a nightmare and terrified I went to search for sister in her room and didnt find her. So I came to you but I accidentally knocked down the vase.”

Usui witnessed the scene and couldn't help but smile slightly when he remembered how the kid told him that the two people he met was his mother and father.

He chuckled and shook his head before he looked around. He noticed the two people standing amongst the crowd and figured they were the guards of the prince.

Both the guards smiled slightly and nodded at Usui.

Zelal hearing his brother chuckle and nod at the guards realised that he was missing out on something.

Hazel had a helpless smile on her face as she knew that he intentionally created trouble. She had reminded him , before she came to the hall about the competition and asked him to stay put but the little boy objected to it.

” Noooo!! Only I am capable of protecting you. Sister, don't marry anyone, just wait for me . I will marry you. I will protect you.”

Remembering his cute statement, Hazel rubbed his head. She knew that he came to take a look at the candidates. He was exaggerating his act so much that she thought father would die from heartache.

Rin on seeing his sister, jumped into her arms and started bawling ,” Sister, I was so scared.”

She could only helplessly pat him and hug him in front of everyone. 'There.. There....'

Slowly, she bent and whispered in his ears, ”Stop acting now or I will never allow you into my room.” and gave the kid a warning look.

The kid gulped when he realised that she was warning him to not overdue it. He realised the only way to escape the situation was to act more. So, he buried his face against her neck and said,” I'm sleepy .”

Everyone was amused seeing the chubby kid being scared once to acting cute with his sister.

Julian was shaking his head on seeing his son's actions and wondered whose genes he got it from that he ignored his parents and went straight away to his sister.
