Chapter 13: Deja vu?

As I started to move away not answering him cause who knows he might be able to recognise me but then he started approaching me .I was scared what to do but he kept on questioning me who I was . Well I left it all upto god just help me ..

It was my brother Loren.

.

.

.

Marlin was already in a hesitation like she just came and this had it happened . She thought maybe luck didn't favor her much after all .

But it did .

When Loren was about to approach . He was called from behind . It was the count . He has something to discuss with him . So he called for him. Understanding the necessity of the situation he said , "Okay, I'm coming ..." Loren was still suspicious of the guy who's not familiar which was actually Marlin but he had to rush to his father since he kept in calling again and again .

After Loren left ; Marlin made a heave sigh of relief while falling to the ground .

Thinking , "I've escaped big time !!"

.

.

.

She started hearing songs from inside . Understanding the fact the music might have started and people are dancing now . So she went inside and stood in a corner to see the whole setting . Unlike last time the ballroom was way more glorious. She's kind of feeling pity if she hadn't come she would miss it . It's good that she came even in disguise .

.

.

.

.

She started walking as an act around ladies because she knew ladies circle means a stand out gossiping corner among many things . Interesting enough you can get many information and about many rumours from this gossip . Even insults of poor nobles and girls .

"I've heard both prince are attending today but I can't see anyone ..", said one girl .

Another started saying, "True but I won't go until I see the both prince tonight . Who knows we might not get this chance again ..?"

Marlin was curious . Since she still don't know which prince she actually met . Because no one knows their fine description yet since they are twins; people said it's hard to differentiate the two of them .

.

.

.

She went away . Those gossiping girls peeked behind where Marlin was leaving . It looks they actually did notice that Marlin was staring at them all the time to know their information but fortunately they didn't know it was Marlin De Cloria of the count family.

.

.

"Phew I was quite scared ; that guy was staring at us so creepily . I wonder what he wanted to know from us ."

"Exactly but he kind of looked familiar . I wonder where I saw that man , hmm...", one said .

.

.

.

.

"To what the ladies curiosity is gaining hmm?", said a guy who was standing behind them .

"Omg! Your highness !", they all bowed.

"Please raise your heads ...", he said .

"Nothing just a random guy was staring at us . So we felt uncomfortable for that reason", a girl said . She was quite shy so she kind of stuttered. She has liked his highness for a long time so she tried to speak first but when she looked at his eyes it seemed he's unnoticed by her.

"Is that so ...?", he gave a formal smile .

"Yes...", the ladies all said together .

"Well , he could be an intruder in the ballroom . You see we face many assassination attempts so could you kindly tell me where he went?", he asked politely to the girls who were still busy blushing hard .

.

.

.

One of the girls pointed towards by her hand ; the second floor as Marlin actually went to that direction .

"Thank you , please enjoy the party ."

"Yes your highness . You too", they all bowed .

The prince went away to the direction of the second floor .

.

.

The shy girl who was the daughter of a another count Everi Daniana ; screamed internally as she had her first talk face to face with her crush . Even though it was a yes and no type talk but still it's better than nothing . It kind of bothered her that he was uninterested other than the mysterious guy who came but it's okay .

She clenched her fist, "I'm sure I'll get another chance!" She hoped .

.

.

He looked back at the girl who was so happy to talk to him . He made a weird expression , "Tch. This stupid things really get on my nerves , trying so hard to get close to me even though I don't want to and they can't understand that .."

.

.

.

While Marlin was walking around ; not knowing what's actually happening. She kept looking for the princes . But she still didn't see anyone . She searched already in the hall room where everyone is ;since she didn't find anyone she went for the second floor .

"Well, should I try going for the room where I went before ?" ,Marlin kept pondering .

But all the more there are two possibilities of problems that might occur . One is that if she went as a girl the prince might think she's a shameless girl who likes to comes to a man's room even though she knew it and was threatened and he will loathe her for life . Secondly if she goes as a guy , the highest possibility she might get killed the very moment the prince saw her thinking her as an assassin before he actually realises it a girl he killed :)

"Death or being loathe .. which one is preferable ?" Nah ,what am I even thinking ..

.

.

.

"I see I saw you again .", a familiar voice one again . Looks like Marlin doesn't have a good luck anytime and Loren's spirit seems to hunt her down everyone he see her directly or indirectly.

Even she's in disguise he seems to encounter her again and again and Marlin probably has been taught finally not to go through this trouble ever again. She sweared.

"You there, stop right this instant !", Loren shouted. "I probably didn't get the time to talk with you but fate maybe wants us to"

Marlin was already pissed . Firstly she hasn't get to meet any of the prince yet . Secondly she's going to bash out soon by Sasha later. Thirdly her brother is spoiling her plan .

"Darn it!", Marlin said grumpily.

"Excuse me ..?", Loren was surprised .

.

.

.

.

Instead of looking back . Marlin led out a run as fast as she could . Not looking back even once and leaving Loren dumbfounded as he was still standing there .

"Sorry, my brother but this sister can't get caught before she meets her Prince Charming !"

.

.

.

.

Maybe God really did wanted for Marlin to meet her destined but in an unusual way . That she crashed onto someone who was walking infront of her without knowing .

                         *Bumps*

Marlin collapsed on the floor . She kind of trembled since she bumped her head . But when she opened her eyes she saw she was already lying on the floor and on top of her was the person she longed to meet and it didn't take her long enough to recognise him . His eyes staring right into her face ..

.

.

"Do you call it deja vu?"

The same position when they first met looking into each other eyes . Fate really wants them to be together - Author.

( I maybe came in the middle to say this hehe okay back to where we were !)

.

.

"Are you alright?", his deep husky voice pierced through Marlins ears and she blushed hard. They were few inches close to each other's faces.

"Ahem, ahem!", Lanier broke in between .

Marlin finally realised what situation she was in . But she didn't want to meet him like this.

"So embarrassing ahh!"

She jumped up , bowed and ran away.

Leaving the two like that without any words.

.

.

Lanier laughed , " Looks like even guys likes your highness too since he blushed so hard. Pfft!"

The prince said in a soft voice , "A girl.."

"Yes?"

He looked at Lanier, "It was a girl dressed up as a man . Either way I don't care because she didn't looked suspicious."

"How do you know that?", Lanier asked .

The prince sighed , "Judging by how she even showed courtesy before leaving purely shows that she's a Noble ."

Lanier understood his words.

"But why would she dress up as a guy to come here. I'm sure every girls has gotten invitations to come here ?"

Lanier smiled , "Maybe to meet you?"

The prince snugged, Yeah ,right as if.

He suddenly remembering her blushed face. He thought , "I suddenly got remembered of that incident." The incident where he had an encounter with a stranger girl in the same way.

After that someone called from behind , "Brother!"
