Chapter 36:She deserves the world

The next day, Lia was greeted by her classmates.She greeted them back.She was about to go to her seat but her classmates stopped her.

"Lia, are you okay?", one of her classmates asked.

Lia was confused at her worried classmates but eventually nodded.

"We saw the news.Someone tried to kill you and Xavier.", a student said when she noticed Lia's confusion.

Lia thought for a while.Her brother indeed called the police after what happened yesterday.She also saw the news because of her classmates in their group chat sent a link of the news.

Lia smiled."I'm okay.", she answered to her worried classmates.Her classmates sighed in relief.Lia went back to her seat.

She was greeted by Sheena.

"Lia.I'm worried about you.", Sheena worriedly said.She can guess it was still Eloise's doing.

Lia saw Sheena's eyes and can read her thoughts.She shook her head.

"We're still not sure this time.The police are still investigating.I'm my family's princess remember?Maybe it's someone else.", Lia vaguely answered.

Sheena sighed feeling problematic.She knew Lia was the lost princess.Someone else with power might also be after her life especially in this small country.Besides, the Williamson family is currently financially ruined.She sighed again.

"Being a princess is really hard.", she murmured.

Lia heard Sheena.Sheena looks extremely cute.

"Don't worry about me.I'm okay now.Can't you see?", Lia comforted Sheena.

Sheena nodded.

"Yes.You have a hot handsome future husband guarding you.", Sheena teased Lia.

Lia's face went red in embarrassment and let out a shy smile.Xavier indeed protected her and yesterday was the second time.He was always there for her to support her, protect her and take care of her.Mentioning the words 'hot' and 'handsome', that hot handsome man kissed her yesterday!! Lia remembered how he stole a kiss from her and her face instantly went red.Her mind then began to wonder.

Eloise arrived at school and got out of the car.She looked extremely dolled up.She come out of the car with a handsome man.The man took her to her room.The whole class was surprised to see such a handsome man.He also seemed rich but he was with Eloise.The girls felt envy and when the man left Eloise.Eloise came to her seat in good mood.The girls near Eloise excitedly asked Eloise.

"Eloise!Is that handsome man your boyfriend?"

"Yes.Yes.Who is that man Eloise?"

Eloise chuckled and checked her perfect nails.

"He's my boyfriend.", she boasted.

The girls gasped in envy.

"Eloise.I also noticed your bag.It's a dulce and Gabanna bag!!Gosh!", a girl exclaimed.

The girls gasped.The conversation of the girls became loud.That the other classmates listened.They are curious of how Eloise got rich when Eloise father's companies got destroyed by Bill.

Lia also silently listened when Sheena went silent.She knows Sheena is listening.

"My boyfriend gave me this.", Eloise proudly.

"Your boyfriend is rich?", another girl asked.

"Yes!He's the heir of the most powerful family in Atheria Continent."

A girl named Mica loudly gasped which was quite overreacting.

"Holy cow!!Atheria Continent?!What?!"

The other girls was confused and began to asked the girl who just gasped.

"You know Atheria Continent? What's that?"-girl 1

"Yeah.How come I never heard of that place?"-girl 2

"You bunch of fools!!Atheria Continent is a heaven place!!It doesn't appear on the map but I heard from my father it was a place where the wealthiest families around the world lives.It was hard to enter in that continent.Even the well known rich families could even enter that continent!The standards are too high.The rich families must have the power to stand firm in that place or else they'll be kicked out.I also heard that to visit that continent, they must have a ticket or an invitation from a wealthy family."

Lia didn't react much hearing Atheria Continent.She only heard about Atheria Continent for the first time.She felt like Eloise was indeed lucky but that's just it.She never felt envy.She just hoped that it was not Eloise who sent killers to attack her yesterday with Xavier.Although she knows Xavier and her family is powerful, she just hope that her family can withstand Eloise's attacks.

When it was lunch time.Lia, Xavier and Naftali meet at the cafeteria.The three of them ordered a shrimp dish and Xavier again peeled shrimps for Lia as usual.Lia sat at the center of the two.Xavier is at her right side while Naftali was on her left side.Naftali shamelessly took some already peeled shrimp on Lia's plate and ate it.Lia just let her brother and even gave several pieces to Naftali.Naftali cheered up and Xavier just let Naftali do his childish acts.

Suddenly, a man walked to their table and beside him was Eloise.Naftali became alert and frowned while looking at Eloise.

Lia on the other hand looked at Ethan in shock.She knows him.He's one of the people in the past life she saw.He was the evil third prince who create havoc in her past life.A lot of people died under his hands.The king and other princes and princesses died because of him.Lia and Xavier fought hard to protect each other and the others under the third prince wrath.He did all that all because of the throne.

"Xavier.", the man greeted Xavier with a smile.

Xavier looked at Ethan.Ethan informed him that he's here in the Philippines and also enrolled in their college school.Ethan asked for his location and Xavier gave him his location.He knows Ethan just tried to kill them yesterday but he acted like he didn't know and acted normal.

"You're here.Sit."

Ethan sat and Eloise sat at the opposite of them.Naftali frowned.He hates Eloise.Eloise kept bullying her sister and Eloise's recent post destroyed Xavier and Lia's reputation.

"You know him, Xavier?", Naftali asked Xavier.

"He is my--"

"Relatives!", Ethan immediately cut Xavier's word.He was afraid that his identity will be exposed.His identity was something he always feels insecure about.Comparing to Xavier's real identity, he was just a no one.

Naftali saw Ethan's weird reaction and frowned.He was also dissatisfied why a relative of Xavier brought Eloise.

"I'm Ethan.This is Eloise, my girlfriend.", Ethan introduced themselves.Eloise just smiled and acted like a pure gentle girl in front of them.

Naftali's expression went ugly just by looking at Eloise.He badly wanna puke.He was irritated.

"How did you meet Eloise?", Xavier asked casually and ate.

"I met her at a cafe.Who is this man and woman?Mind if you introduce this two?"

"She's Lia and Naftali.", Xavier replied and peeled a shrimp for Lia.

Eloise's eyes followed the shrimp in the hands of Xavier and saw Xavier put in on Lia's plate.Eloise's heart trembled in extreme jealousy.She wanted Xavier to do that to her too.Eloise tried to calm herself down and comfort himself.She already has Ethan.A man who's much richer than Xavier.

"Why did you sneak out of the clan?I heard you live with the two of them.Isn't this country dangerous to be alone?And why are you playing with a woman and even peeling shrimps for a woman with no background?", Ethan asked in displeasure.

Naftali was stunned and also Lia.Naftali looked at Ethan and in disbelief.He felt upset.He was pissed!Who is this man to dictate Xavier when Xavier was the heir of Moreau clan? Isn't he just a relative?!Xavier is his sister's man!Why is it wrong for a man to peel shrimps for his sister when his sister is the princess of Country N?!

Lia felt embarrassed.She just let Xavier pampered her and she had gotten used to it.She also realized Xavier's not her boyfriend for him to do this.

"Xavier, stop peeling shrimps.", Lia murmured feeling embarrassed.

Naftali frowned hearing his sister's soft voice.He looked at "Xavier who is this man really?", Naftali asked in annoyance.

Xavier didn't answer and just silently eat.

Ethan looked at Naftali with his right eye brow raising but then went surprised.

"Why do you look familiar?", Ethan asked making Naftali stunned and silently panicked.

Ethan was in deep thought.Naftali looks really familiar.He looks like the prince of Country N?He remembered a document of Naftali's background, it was normal.His parents is both an office worker.Ethan disregard his worries.

'That can't be possible.The last time the Moreau Clan had a contact with the prince was when we were young.Xavier can't possibly be a friend of Country N's Besides this man is just a son of an office worker.'

Ethan felt displeasure.Xavier's background is something that everyone envied for.Even he wants to have Xavier's background but this siblings luckily leech on Xavier.

"I heard you're living together with these siblings in a penthouse.How lucky for these two siblings to be able to live in a penthouse."

Naftali was shocked and he wanted to refute that it's his penthouse but he couldn't go he thought about his background being hidden.He can only eat the insults.The man probably didn't investigate thoroughly.Naftali was relieved deep inside his heart but Xavier's sudden reply made him stunned and speechless.

"Her value transcends measure.I'll bend the world to her will.She's my girlfriend.She deserves the world.", Xavier calmly declared.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xavier silently in surprise.Xavier just declared his love and devotion for Lia.It was quite a confident, simple yet impactful statement that leaves impression.

Naftali was satisfied with the words of Xavier.He also disregard Xavier's declaration as his sister's boyfriend.

Eloise on the other hand went stiff and her jaw tightened after a few seconds.She saw Xavier took a spoonful of rice with a peeled shrimp on top of the rice with the intention to feed Lia.Xavier let out a soft 'ah'.She saw Lia hesitantly open her mouth and ate the food on the spoon.She saw Xavier let out a soft gentle smile in satisfaction.

Eloise's eyes went teary.She thought it was just a rumor that Xavier is Lia's boyfriend but now that he declared it in front of her,she sour deep inside her heart. Resentment, bitterness, envy and jealousy.

She bit her trembling lower lip and looked away.She felt like she couldn't watch anymore.She gripped her uniform skirt and let go.

"I-I-I'll order some food.", Eloise excused herself with her crack voice.

Ethan worriedly looked at Eloise walking away.He stared at Xavier continuing to feed Lia.He frowned and stood up.

"I'll order some food too.", he excused himself and followed Eloise.

Naftali looked at the back of the top and smiled in satisfaction.Xavier just savagely wounded Eloise's heart.Her sour expression just now is really satisfying to watch.

"Hmph!That's what you get for insulting my sister.", he harrumphed in satisfaction and moved his eyes back on his food and ate silently in a good mood.
