Hyde sigh. ' Shouldn't you goes down and greet them, then? ' ask Hyde.

Crystelle shrug her shoulder.

' Why should I? it just our Soleil enemy, Duke Acheris se Konrad. ' said Crystelle bored.

Hyde tilt his head.

' Doesn't it means he is a honorable guest, then? well, he is a Duke. ' ask Hyde.

Crystelle nodded.

' It's true, but he never mind our family members and just talk to father the whole time he visited. so I had been a little bored after that. ' complain Crystelle.

' it's not like he will talk at me even if I were to greet him though. ' said Crystelle then she change her position to take a nap.

Hyde frown.

' but still..! Elle, you must to.. '

Knock! knock!

Crystelle and Hyde flustered.

' There's someone! change back now! ' order Crystelle.

Poff!

Mia open the door slowly and head in.

' My lady, the Grand duchess want to meet you now at the guest room. ' inform Mia.

Crystelle sigh and nodded.

' Okay.. but why the guest room and not at mom's room? ' ask Crystelle doubt.

Mia stare at Hyde.

' When do you want to talk about him, Lady Elle?' ask Mia back.

Hyde flinch.

' I will, but there's no time for me to talk with father. maybe, I will talk to him this night? ' hesitate Crystelle.

' Please do it as soon as possible. I am just scared that if it's been any longer this puppy will grow up to be so big. ' said Mia firmly.

Crystelle laugh.

' it's impossible to grow big within a week, Mia! ' chuckle Crystelle then she head out from the room and leave Hyde alone.

' Hey! why the long face! look whose in front of you now! ' whispers grand duchess Aria.

Crystelle sigh. she slowly raise her face to look at that person.

Tadah!

Crystelle stunned.

' Did mom just brought an handsome statue to this mansion yesterday?. ' doubted Crystelle.

' Mom! why did you buy him? it's a waste of money to spend on this thing! although it understandable because he is a great high quality statue but still! ' mad Crystelle in whispers.

Grand duchess Aria get blank.

' Hey! he is a human! ' mad grand duchess Aria then she slap Crystelle back.

Crystelle stunned.

' Such a thing is a human?! ' shout Crystelle disbelief.

That boy that was sitting in front of them just smile gently toward Crystelle.

' It's look like lady Soleil still doesn't know who I am. ' said that boy in a soft tone.

Crystelle melt just by hearing his voice.

' Such a thing is not a statue but an angel! he will be my 2nd angel after princess Larissa! ' compliment Crystelle in mind.

That boy chuckle when Crystelle just silently stare at him.

' Greeting, Lady Soleil. my name is Allen Archer se Konrad. the only son of Duke Acheris se Konrad. pleased to make your acquaintance. ' that boy bow politely.

Crystelle fascinated by his looks.

Crystelle flinch.

' Ah! I, I. my name is Crystelle Elera la Soleil. the only daughter of the Soleil. pleased to make your acquaintance too, sir Konrad. ' greet Crystelle flustered.

Allen chuckle.

' Just call me Allen and I will do the same toward you, Lady Crystelle. ' direct Allen.

' Such a straight forward person he is! ' shock Crystelle.

The grand duchess Aria clap her hand suddenly.

' Well, I will leave you two here, so take your time and talk to each other more. ' happily the grand duchess Aria smile and head out from the room.

Crystelle smile in awkward.

' That mom! she doesn't said anything about this handsome statue will come toward our resident today! '. angry Crystelle in her mind.

Crystelle sweat so much. ' why is it so hot suddenly? it is because of the sun that was sitting before me right now? I will get blind just with this creature aura! ' cries Crystelle.

' it, it's hot here suddenly, right? shall we take a walk at the garden then? ' ask Crystelle awkwardly.

Allen smile.

' Shall we? '

' S, so! you're Duke Acheris's son, huh? it's rare to meet you at any ball. I think this is the first time I've meet you, sir Allen ' said Crystelle try to start a conversation.

They walk together at the garden Crystelle always had her walk at.

Allen smile gently.

' But it's not for me, Lady Crystelle. I had always seen you at the ball everytime I attend it.' said Allen honestly.

Crystelle stunned.

' This statue had already start his move toward me! it's a same crime as Rigel! he try to seduce me with his word! '.

Crystelle smile.

' It's that so? why don't you come and greet me then? ' ask Crystelle.

Allen flustered.

' You always had someone beside you so it hard for me to come and talk to you, Lady Crystelle.' dejected Allen. He lower his head and make a disappointed face.

Bam!

A love struck! a love struck! error! system error!

Crystelle head had become spin.

' Seriously! stop it Allen! I've already had a fiance so stop seducing me! I am sorry Rigel, my heart is so weak if it is about a stunning face like this, remember? ' apologize Crystelle in her head.

' I, this whole time just wish to talk with you but I always doesn't have a time to come. but just for today.. I free my schedule and force father to come and visit your mansion, Lady Crystelle. ' said Allen honestly with determination while stare straight at Crystelle eyes.

' I will never wasted this precious time I had just to get talk with you, Lady Crystelle. ' said him more.

Crystelle get struck again.

' I, I am sorry Rigel! I've just got temptation by his face! please forgive this disgraceful fiance of yours just this once, Rigel! ' apologize Crystelle again in her head.

' S,so.. let's be friend then! you can talk to me everytime you wanted if we were a friend, right? ' flustered Crystelle.

Allen smile gently.

' Can I..? ' ask him while shown his stunning smile.

' I am sorry, Rigel! '

' Of course you can, sir Allen! ' agreed Crystelle instantly.

Allen chuckle.

' So I can get to know you better..? ' ask him again.

Crystelle nodded her head hardly.

' Of course! ' agreed her again.

Allen smile. ' so can I know, how old are you, Lady Crystelle? '

Crystelle smile. ' I am 10 years old! '

' Oh? you're younger than me then. I am 11 years old. ' excited Allen.

' So next, what's your favorite food?.. '

' ..Bla, Bla.., Bla... '

And then they continue to chat for a long time.

' Haha, it's that so? then I will do it too! ' said Allen happily.

Crystelle chuckle. ' yes! you must to! ' agreed Crystelle.

' Ehem.. it's look like you two were having a good time, my son. ' greet Duke Archeris from the door.

Crystelle flinch. ' This is the first time he comes and look at me in the eyes. '

' I am sorry to disturb you, Lady Soleil but it's already time for us to get home. ' apologies Duke Konrad.

Allen slowly get up from his seat.

' It's a shame that we can't talk any longer, Lady Crystelle. I will look forward to meet you in the near future, my lady. '

Allen bend down a little and kiss Crystelle hand.

Crystelle blushed.

' Please feels pleasure to comes and visit me anytime, Lady Crystelle ' said him again.

Crystelle smile and nodded.

' You're now my friend so same goes to you, sir Allen.' said Crystelle calmly.

Allen smile toward Crystelle with gentle face.

' I will use that precious time as much as I can. please look forward for it, Lady Crystelle. '

Then Allen and Duke Archers get back toward their resident and it's becomes peaceful again.

' Hah.. ' sigh Crystelle.

' I am so tired right now. '

Crystelle get up from her seat and goes to head toward her room.

Crystelle blankly gets in and lying on her bed like it was nothing.

' Hey! why don't you knocked first before gets in? if I were in my human form there will be a big problems, you know! . ' mad Hyde.

Crystelle silently stared at the selling.

Hyde sigh. ' this girl.. such a problem. '.

' You comes in blankly in your world and just lying there like it was nothing. what were you thinking about, Elle? ' explain Hyde.

' Nevermind that, well.. hey! we must to introduce you now! let's pick some clothes from Crys. you look like in the same height with him. ' said Crystelle while suddenly pull Hyde in her embrace.

Hyde freeze and sigh.

' There she goes again. '

' But before that Elle, can I ask something? ' ask Hyde suddenly.

Crystelle just nodded her head. She was busy sneakily walking toward Crystopher room.

' Is that boy earlier is your 'Rigel' ? ' wonder him.

Crystelle tilt her head. she thought for a second.

' Ah! no, that's Duke Konrad son, sir Allen. I just meet him for the first time today. ' smile Crystelle.

' But.. how did you know I was with him? did you sneakily get out from the room by yourself without my permission? ' question Crystelle doubted.

Hyde shake his head hardly.

' I am not! don't you remember I can sense you? I can sense if you with someone or if you get hurt. ' explain Hyde flustered.

Crystelle chuckle. ' I am just kidding! but it's great if you can sense me. you can always protect me whenever I got hurts!. I will count on you from now on. ' smile Crystelle gently.

Hyde blushed.

Crystelle looks around then she open Crystopher's room door and slowly get in.

Hyde just follow without question.

' Well.. how it is, Elle? ' ask Hyde after he got change.

Crystelle nodded.

' It's a little big for you because our family had a big figured for generations but you looks okay to me. ' compliment Crystelle.

Hyde look at Crystopher clothes he's wearing at.

' How big that boy can be if he's being this big although he just a 10 years old boy? ' Hyde wondering.

' Hyde? let's go now. ' call Crystelle when Hyde lost in his world.

Crystelle shake her head.

' Looks whose talk? you will be really popular without so much thoughts and with that innocent face of yours, you really can gain so much fans here, Hyde. ' jealous Crystelle.

Their eyes shining when look at us. it's like I had an extremely super rare germ inside the glass beside me and they looks like a person that just comes and look at it with an hawk eyes that had desire to have it.

Crystelle nodded.
