Duke's Daughter Margarita Frost Reporting for Duty

Sneaky 3

Miguelito and Halley will almost out the watchful eyes of the guards when the real food delivery comes.

"Halt!"

Miguelito looks startled and stares at Halley.

Halley grabs Miguelito and runs away.

Though Halley is strong he is strong in a fight not in a defensive area.

They were cornered.

"Should I fight?" Halley asks.

Miguelito grits his teeth.
"No."

"Who are you? State your name and your reason to sneak to the fourth prince palace or we will treat you as terrorists."

Miguelito pats Halley to put him down.
Then he removes his wig.

"I am Miguelito Frost."

"This.." the guard knights look confused what to do next.
A royal knight walks forward.
He is older than anyone around.

"Come to the headquarters, your excellency."

Miguelito nods his head.

Halley scratches his head.
"If you didn't forbid me to use force we won't get caught." He whispers.

"How can I allow you to do that?" Miguelito wryly smiles.
If Ben is here, would he get caught?
Miguelito is startled at his own train of thought.
He shakes his head.

"Is there something?" Halley whispers.

"I….I am sorry." Miguelito said.

"Sorry?"

"Cause...I….I compared you to someone even though it's all my fault."

Halley smiles.
"I don't mind if you blame me or compare me to your previous knight. I'm not that sensitive."

Miguelito smiles timidly.

"But isn't it a problem that we got caught?"

Miguelito clenched his fist.

***

A royal knight comes to Alan's room.

"Your highness, Young Master Frost was found sneaking inside your palace. He said that the two of you are friends and he is here to visit you.But this is an improper way of visiting and will cause a lot of misunderstanding. Worst come to worst, he might get injured if he was found sneaking around next time."

Alan clenched his fist but didn't look at the Royal Knight.

"What do you suggest for us to do?" Alan asks.

"Well, he should come officially with a letter of introduction to show his sincerity." The royal guard said.

Alan laughs.

"Your highness, the King ordered us to talk good care of you. We won't let anyone harm you. Please advise her excellency to not ignore official procedures."

Alan nods.
"Tell him...I don't want him to return."

"Your highness?"

"It's not like we are close. I barely know him." Alan said.

The royal guard squints his eyes.
"Hoh? He sneaks inside the palace for someone he barely knew?"

Alan shrugged his shoulder.
"In the first place, he and I have no more than a handful of events we have seen each other. I don't know why he wanted to visit me so badly."

The royal knight stares at Alan's back for a while before he responds.
"I understand. It seems the illegitimate son of the Frost family is being a nosy person."

Alan chuckles.
"Yes. He is a nosy person."

The royal knight leaves the room.

Alan took a deep breath.
He watches the sky outside his window.
"Idiot…..Just stay where you are protected…"
He closed his eyes.

Miguelito is sitting in front of Miguel in tbe carriage.
There are only him and his father.

Miguel looks at his guilty son.

"You know what kind of rumour you will be starring because of this?" Miguel sternly said.

Miguelito is looking down, clenching his pants while biting his lower lip.

Miguel sighs.
"Are you hurt with the prince words?"

Miguelito looks up.
His eyes are red from forcing not to cry.

"I…..Am I really…."

Miguel smiles.
"Is that how you know the 4th prince? Someone that treated you as someone he barely knew?"

"Then….why? Why say those words?" 
Miguelito lowers his eyes again.

Miguel pats the open space beside him.

Miguelito timed the carriage slow movement and sat beside his father.

Miguel rubs his head.
"Because he cares about you. He knew you are hard headed and careless. So you will attempt to come again despite the bad rumor you might get in. He is your friend so he wanted to protect you but he can't do anything so all he can do is to push you away. And to let you stay where you are being protected."

Miguelito's eyes lit up.
"Really?"

Miguel smiles.
"I am not the prince and I don't know him. You are his friend, you tell me if that is what he means."

"It was! Alan...He is that kind of person!"

"Then, are you going to listen to him?"

Miguelito holds Miguel's hand.
He seriously looked at Miguel.
"Dad, how much can I mess up?"

Miguel laughs aloud.
