5 Princes and I(Preview Only)

Chapter 11 A lesson with Ace -

"You guys are in the year 465!?"

Ace frowned. "I asked you a question."

"In case you haven't noticed, I was already surprised by the current year and now you are asking me for the name of a ruined kingdom? I don't know! Hogwarts!?"

"You're hopeless! You didn't even get that right."

"I'm trying here!"

"I said try harder!" He was yelling now.

"Well maybe if you can speak in a language I can understand then it might not be difficult! Back in my world we have presidents and vice presidents. Only a few countries have royalty these days."

"Then what are you? A plebian?"

"I'm a student who doesn't even bother to do my homework and you expect me to learn this world's history? Sir, I bid you good luck."

He sighed and turned back. He didn't even bother to look at me as he said that. He just went back to the couch opposite of mine and sat down. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. A sign of his frustration. He then grabbed a book and started to read. "Self study from now on."

I frowned. "Hey Ace." He didn't look at me as I called for his name. I wanted to ask him something.

Maybe he didn't hear me?

"Excuse me, Ace? Yoohoo!!" I waved my hands for him to notice me.

He continued to flip through a book. Pretending not to hear when it was pretty obvious that I was calling him. I know he heard me. My voice was already loud enough. Why is he not answering?

Oh I see

"PRINCE Ace?" This time he looked up and gave me a questionable glance. "Yes?" He asked.

Stupid-Arrogant-Royal-Pain-in-the-Butt!!!

I clenched my fist at my sides because of my annoyance towards the prince in front of me. I forced myself to smile despite his attitude. "Can I ask you a question?"

"No." He went back to reading.

I'm gonna kill this Prince.

"Why are you so grumpy?" I asked. Patience slowly faded. He didn't even answer my question and proceeded to read. I might go wolf on him now and tear him limb from limb! Hopefully.

"There are things that you must learn in this kingdom. You must first learn the ranks and positions in each kingdom so you can know your place. As you might know, the king ranks the highest. Followed by the Queen, then the Prince and Princess." His lips moved as he talked. His eyes glued to what he was reading.

This guy is really serious about this.

My gaze darted to the bag of cookies on the table. I silently made my way towards it.

"Are you listening, Princess?" He looked up from the book that he was reading. He raised a questioning eyebrow at me. Face a mask of seriousness as he looked at me. I don't need to be a mind reader to know that he didn't appreciate my lack of interest.

"I...uhhh....yes." I said and hid the cookies behind me.

"Oh really?" He asked. Not buying my answer to his question. He folded his fingers in front of him and placed his chin on top. "What did I just say just now?" He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Easy.....'What did I just say just now?'." I said. I know that wasn't what he meant, but that was the only thing I could think of.

"Your sarcasm always shows up in times like these. Let's be serious now and answer my question properly." His tone was dead serious. If I answer with another sarcasm, it might be my last. A small smile found its way to his lips when he saw my speechless form. He straightened up.

"You were really not listening."

"You know what? I should go upstairs and look for more books to read. Probably a dictionary so I can understand some of the words that you are saying and not purely history. Be right back!" I lied. I only ran upstairs to eat the cookies I stole.

It took me a while to get back as I made sure to finish all the cookies and leave no traces of crumbs on my face. I took a random book with me that if Ace ever asks, I'll have proof. And if the book is now the right one then I'll just pretend to be ignorant.

At least that was the plan, but when I came down, he was nowhere to be found. I looked around the library to find him. He must have left somewhere. I sat on the coach once again and closed my eyes to take a little break.
