3. Shopping

Arya sat up with a smile across her face and she stretched, she haven't felt this good waking up in the morning. She slept peacefully and didn't have to share her bed with another snoring child like she did in the orphanage. She slowly peeled her eyes just to see a handsome face smiling at her.

"I see you slept well" he said and handed her a towel.

"Wash up I will wait for you in the dining room" Ryu said and went away.

"Doesn't he know anything like privacy" Arya murmured looking at the door he left ajar then did as she was told.

She slipped into her newest dres, a nice woman who came to the orphanage just before she was taken here had called her pretty and given it to her, it was a white dress with red flowers all over it. She smiled and quickly dressed her bed, then went out of the room to search for the dinning room, she admired the deco on the walls as she passed by.

"Over here !" Ryu said unsure if she will find it on her own.

She followed his voice into the dining room. He set a chair out and she sat down then he pushed it in a little.

"You cooked this?" She asked as her eyes went wide at the dishes in front of her the aroma made her mouth water.

Ryu chuckled "don't underestimate all princes, my mom taught me" he said with a sad smile.

"I didn't know queens could cook" Arya exclaimed

" Well I don't know for others but my mom could, though she wasn't a princess but my dad fell in love with her and married her, she was the nicest person I know of and she taught me all the domestic things I know" he said, his eyes glowing with warmth.

"Wait, was! Is she dead?" Arya asked and he nodded

"Sorry for making you remember her"

"Don't be sorry I like my memories with her, hurry up and eat we have a big they ahead of us" he said removing his apron then sat opposite her.

She smiled and started stuffing her mouth with the food only taking a short pause once or twice to savour the taste of the food, she cleared almost every plate within her reach, it was only when she looked up she noticed Ryu had been staring at her and she almost choked on the strawberry pastry she was eating, she raised a questioning brow at him.

"And here I was thinking I cooked too much" Ryu thought with a chuckle.

"It's nothing but I haven't seen a girl eating this much" he smiled in amazement.

"Well now you have, I have a really huge appetite and sorry I can't pretend while eating with a prince"she pouted as she kept her unfinished pastry.

" I didn't mean it that way.. I think is…. cute, come on, keep on eating. "

Ryu thought she would refuse but what she said amazed him.

" Yeah it isn't good to waste food " she said and continued eating.

"Are you gonna eat that?" She asked when she noticed Ryu was not touching his cheese sandwich, he shook his head and she reached for it and ate it.

"Bold and beautiful, cool" Ryu thought. Other girls he had taken in all pretend to be helpless or try to act cute but she was an exception, she didn't even hide the fact that she eats a lot because she was with a prince.

"Am done,thank you for the meal, we can go now just after I am done with this" she said and wiped her mouth then she packed the plates to the sink to wash them.

Soon enough they where off to the store.

" Wow" Aryalooked around as they came down from Ryu's car, she had never been to a shopping mall before.

It was busy with people and had different department for everything. On a huge board made of cement the name of their school was written but in a shorter form. SKY ACAD MALL, and then where it was located. The prince had told her that the students from Skylar Academy were given discount here. Ryu watched the girl with a smirk . She definitely look like a child who have been given all access to candies in the candy store.

"Let's go get your dresses first, if we use the whole time to admire am afraid we won't get anything " Ryu said and pulled her towards the clothes store.

" Pick any clothes that catch your attention "Ryu said

" Hmm….a-a-are you paying? Cause I got no money "

" Of course, what's my royalty for"Ryu said and winked at her.

Arya selected some dress and Ryu also helped her , she wore the dresses and asked him which would be perfect on her. Ryu didn't know exactly cause she looked good in everything then he turned to the attendant and said

"We would take all, please" he said and gave the attendant a golden royal card making her realize he was royalty.

Her eyes widen at first then she quickly bowed down

"Am sorry your majesty , i-i- d-didn't know...." She stuttered but Ryu interupted her.

" Just sell us the clothes already "

Ryu said slightly irritated the attendant nodded and went away quickly after taking the bundle of clothes from Sophia.

He didn't like the way people act after realizing he was a prince.

"Hmm.. Ryu, don't you think the clothes are too many." Arya asked as the attendants of the store loaded the clothes in the booth for them .

" It's ok, I have the money to buy the whole store if I want to. "Ryu said with a proud smirk.

" Ok, now is time to go to the shoe

store. "Ryu announced , but Arya didn't seem to budge.

" What's wrong? " He asked

" Am kind of hungry "she replied, her tummy grumbled in support, while her face flushed in embarrassment, while Ryu laughed in amusement.
