Chapter Four

The next day, just like the original Caspian always do in the morning.He got up before the sun even rise, wash up and took a loaf of bread and left with the carriage.Yesterday before he go to bed,

he somehow got to convince his overly protective Father and after some little aegyo, his Father finally decided to let him out.

So here he is, meeting Gwen again.Yesterday, he literally just said that he will avoid all the characters of the story so he will not be part of the chaos that is going to happen , but it looks like Caspian really meant to meet the pro—, it looks like these two already know each other before the story even started.

So why at that time Caspian got obsessed with her?He did not feel an ounce of loce inside the Original when he met Gwen yesterday.

"What ball?"

He asked, cutting the cake gently.The cake bounce lightly, resembling the way how the jelly jiggled everytime the spoon touch it.

Gwen gulp down the food she shove in her mouth, using a napkin to wipe her mouth, she replied,"As the Son of a Duke, you should have known that the Emperor is welcoming the debut of the Crown Prince."

Crown Prince.

Right, he forgot about the ball.

In fact, the Male Lead already met the female Protagonist — Gwen, even before the ball.Moving his eyes towards the beauty infront of him, he wondered if the two already met.

Judging from the time date that the two met, it was five days before the Ball happened.The two met outside the shop, where a small little child was being bullied

by the shop owner itself. Gwen with her motherly instict, she protected the little boy and thus, the she pipique the interest of the Male Lead passing by.

"Father has been very busy for the moment that he got no time to tell me some news.Even if he did, I will probably make sure not to attend."

Caspian has an older brother, the person who became a major villain in the story after finding out his younger brother(Caspian) died because of the two.If only he is actually here, he has the option not to go to the ball.

He can't possibly make another contact with the protagonist of the story.Gwen's meeting and friendship with Caspian is already a red flag that he didn't expected.

"Stop pretending.You just don't want to do dancing and socializing with people and besides did you forgot that you promise to go with me to the ball?"

She pointed the knife to him, threatening him.

She did not even look threatening at all, if he wasn't immune to this kind of stuff, he will probably beg for forgiveness that he forgot the promise.

"I'll try to attend the ball, but I will not promise anything that I will have any contact with other human beings."

Gwen nodded," Fine fine.Anyway, are you gonna eat that cake?"

After the two ate at the Cafe near at the library, they decided to walk around the busy market that is crowded with people.

The ball is near, so the townspeople decided to use this atmosphere and sell alot of jewelry and dresses that they can make and resell.

"Look over there!" Gwen pointed at the one of the crowded shop at the corner, pulling his arm, she didn't gave Caspian the chance to ask why.

"Look what you did!" An angry voice of a man were heard around the market.When the two reach the shop where almost of all the people gathered at, what Caspian saw made his eyesight go red.

Infront of everbody, a baldy Man was yelliing at the child who was lying on the ground.Humihilating him like the world is ending, what even made him angrier is that the people only watch as the Man kept repeating the same words like a broken recorder.

"This is making really uncomfortable, why don't he try to calm down first?!" Gwen puff out angrily, he can almost see an imaginary smoke coming out from her nose.

"Caspian!Let's stop that bitch!"

"Wait Gwen!Don't do anything reckless!"

Trying to catch her arm, but was apparently late when Gwen already made her way at the front.Completely stopping the man from saying any more curse words towards the child.

Caspian can only curse, it looks like he can't stop the two from meeting.Seeing the same scenario from the novel, they are really bound to meet.

He can only stand at the side, watching how the show will unfold right infront of his eyes.

"You!Get away from that piece of trash!He took apples from me and didn't even pay at all!" If not for Gwen standing infront of the Child, the man already will throw a punch to the little child.

"I did pay!You pretended that I don't have money so that you can keep the coins I gave!" The child stood up from the ground, using his dirty hands to wipe his face buried under those tears that keep pouring out.

"You lying bastard!You're just like your mom!"

"Hey!You know that's really rude right?Stop even shouting because your breathe stink!" Gwen makes a disgusting expression, using one hand to fan the air around her, the man turn even redder from what she exclaimed.

The crowd scream when the man snap and threw a punch to Gwen, yet before he can land a hit clean.His gross oily hand was stop by Caspian himself and not the Male Lead apparently.

The Male Lead is one minute late!He cursed silently, his hand shook from stopping the man's fist and slap it away.

"Caspian!" Gwen makes a suprise face, not even a second when she felt anger.

Okay, who the hell is this man think he is?!

"Don't act rashly out there!" Gwen scolded him, of not for him, Gwen cannot avoid that punch.He just need to accept this remarks rather than letting a man hurt a woman.

"Is the child fine?" He asked, taking out a handkerchief and handed it to Gwen, Gwen took this and crouched down to approach the child.

"Here, let me wipe your tears off." Gwen softly said to the child.The child stood there and accepted the kind gesture.

"Watch out!"

One of the passerby yelled out of nowhere, Caspian forgot the waste of a man behind him and got hit on the back.

"Caspian!"

Before he knew it, he black out from the impact.

This body is really weak! He thought before his vision turned black.
