A Surprise Guest

"You…" 


The man looked shocked too.

"You…"

It was Zicheng!

"Athena? Is that you?" The man asked. 

Athena bit her lip. What were the odds that they would meet again? Had the Universe heard her request? She knew foreign delegates would be invited. But what were the odds that it would be him?

"It is. Looks like we meet again." She said as she walked towards him. 

"That tiara… You're the princess?" Zicheng asked in shock. 

Athena chuckled lightly as she tucked a loose lock of her hair behind her ear, "It is."


Zicheng chuckled too as he flicked open his paper fan. 

"My my, what are the odds… You've fooled me, princess. You've had me fooled." 

Athena bit her lip. She joined him on the balcony. 

"I didn't mean to lie to you. Honest," She confessed in the foreign language they both knew. 

She wanted him to know she genuinely did not mean to lie about her identity.
