Chapter 24 : Thank you Princess

Kiki who leaned his back on the edge of the balcony and lowered his head suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching them as well as Gabriel who was beside him who immediately looked back. They could both see Isabella was approaching them, and she stood face to face in front of the two.

"Princess, what are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to come back and rest in your room?" Immediately Kiki straightened his back and was surprised to see Isabella suddenly standing in front of them.

'Is she listening to our conversation?' In his heart, Kiki was worried that Isabella would find out what they were talking about.

"I was worried about you too. I secretly came here and stood behind the wall over there," Isabella answered Kiki's question while keeping her head down. What Isabella said made Kiki even more worried if she listened to what they were talking about. Kiki's worries were answered by what Isabella said next.

"I heard what you guys were talking about, I'm sorry. I know it's not good to listen to other people's conversations, but I can't just sit around watching you guys like this." Kiki and Gabriel could only stare at Isabella who then raised her head and looked at the two of them.

"I just want you to know that what happened to me wasn't anyone's fault. It was my fault for not being able to take care of myself, I don't want you to blame yourself or Michael. Even though I know he is very cunning but he helped me today, and also I don't want you to think if you were by my side I would be fine and because you weren't by my side all of this could happen I don't want you to think it's all your fault. Everything that happened to me today I accept, everything has happened and surely God has a plan and purpose for today's events, and I believe everything that has happened is the best for me. God always loves us all, so Mr Cho and Kiki I beg you both please don't think it's your fault. Because I don't want you to blame yourselves." What Isabella said made Gabriel and Kiki just sit there and stare straight at the beautiful girl.

Isabella saw them was silent, couldn't help but smile gently and then slowly approached them. Then Isabella raised one of her hands and gently stroked the side of Gabriel's face while the other hand was on her chest holding something like a ring that was turned into a pendant to a silver necklace.

"Mr Cho I love you, so please stop blaming yourself because it will make me sad. I ask." Isabella whispered, who then stood beside Gabriel, between Gabriel and Kiki. She slowly rested her head on the cold-faced youth's arm and clasped his hand. It wasn't long before there was a low murmur of Gabriel who brought his head closer and gently kissed Isabella's forehead.

"Hmm fine if that's what you want. Princess." Gabriel finally smiled though it was only a small and very brief smile.

Besides the two of them, Kiki breathed a sigh of relief, then he felt Isabella's hand gripping his tightly. Kiki could feel the warmth that came from the grip of the hand, it could even warm his heart and soul. He smiled and brought Isabella's hand to his face and kissed the back of her hand gently and murmured.

"Thank you, princess," Kiki whispered, then approached Isabella's face and kissed her cheek gently.

After that Gabriel and Kiki took Isabella to rest in her room. Because Isabella was alone at home, the two of them would stay overnight there.

"Well, then good night Miss Kim." Gabriel released his grip on Isabella and let her into her room. Likewise with Kiki who previously kissed the back of Isabella's hand and wished her good night.

"Good night princess, have a nice dream," Kiki said then let go of Isabella's hand.

"Then I'll sleep, Mr Cho Kiki. Good night and I wish you sweet dreams too." After saying goodnight to Gabriel and Kiki Isabella went into her room and closed the door while Gabriel and Kiki walked to the twins' room, Aska and Defka which was not too far from Isabella's room.

When he arrived at the twins' room, Gabriel immediately opened the door and entered first, followed by Kiki walking behind him yawning.

"Hoamhhh~ Ahh I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep as soon as possible." Kiki stepped his foot toward one of the beds in the room. It was Defka's bed which was very messy as seen from the blankets that were not neatly arranged and carelessly placed. Kiki immediately threw himself on the bed which made it even messier than he could hear the sound of the door being opened. Kiki turned towards the origin of the sound, he could see Gabriel entering the bathroom and closing the door. Kiki was also ignorant of Gabriel's attitude and began to comfort himself to go to sleep that night no he didn't care even though he hadn't showered yet because his body was very tired from all the events that day. On the other hand, Gabriel started to clean himself and washed the soap that was on his body. The bathroom was full of steam because Gabriel used warm water to take a shower and he also washed his hair. After almost 30 minutes, Gabriel came out of the bathroom using only the pants he was wearing and the white towel above his head which he used to dry his hair and didn't put his clothes back on because of the soil stains on the clothes that might have soiled Aska's bed. It can be seen by himself that Kiki is already fast asleep on Defka's mattress, the cold-faced young man doesn't care and immediate steps towards Aska's bed and sits at the end of the bed while checking his cellphone.

A moment when Gabriel was looking at his cellphone there was a soft knock on the bedroom door, knowing who was knocking Gabriel immediately got up and walked to open the door. When opened Isabella was standing with some clothes in her hand.

"Mr Cho, why are you shirtless like this? What if you catch a cold?" Isabella was angry when she saw Gabriel who only wore trousers and a towel that was above his head.

"My clothes are dirty and I don't want to dirty Aska's bed. Besides, I can use a blanket so I don't catch a cold." Gabriel casually answered Isabella's question who was currently sullen.

"Mr Cho, you can wear Aska's or Defka's clothes, can't you? After all, even though they are still thirteen years old, their body size is big and even their height is the same as you and Kiki." Isabella said still annoyed-looking up at Gabriel.

"I don't want to wear anything other than my clothes," Gabriel replied who then turned his head to the other side avoiding Isabella's gaze. Isabella who heard Gabriel's answer could only sigh and then she gave some clothes to Gabriel.

"These are the clothes that you and Kiki left behind a few weeks ago when you were staying overnight because it was raining. Put it on and remind Kiki to brush his teeth before going to bed." Isabella said while handing some clothes to Gabriel who was taken by the young man.

"Kiki has gone to bed first and he hasn't even washed his feet yet," Gabriel said flatly.

"What?! Oh my goodness, Kiki is really difficult to manage, well then I will return to my room good night Mr Cho." After that Isabella immediately turned and walked away before Gabriel's voice stopped her and she looked back.

"Miss Kim, thank you, have a nice dream." Hearing Gabriel's words made Isabella smile softly and nod her head she waved her hand and turned to go back to her room.
