Chapter 17 - Home Sweet Home

They all got in the carriage and as they left the princess looked to see if she will see Cosmo but then Cosmo hid from her.

"After they left Cosmo went back into the castle with her brother and sat down by the table.

"Sis what's wrong?" he asked as his sister's eyes started glowing red,

'Why am I the only one who never gets what I want?" she asked while shouting,

"You need to calm down, Cosmo returns with her if you want, I know how hard it is for you to stay away from her, even though I am the one that might get to be with her: he responded smiling and Cosmo pouted.

"Let her return home first then we will see what happens, what if she falls in love with someone though?" she asked,

"Then makes sure she feels the same way about you first" her brother responded then patted her on the head.

"I have some work to do, we will talk when I see you again," he said,

"Take care bro" she replied then disappeared leaving a little red fog behind.

"Love can make you do stupid things," he said then went to do his work.

An entire night passed and they kept traveling and the next morning when the sun raised they arrived at Lilith's home and they all came out.

Lilith and the others were really tired.

'Guys each of you take a guest room and nap, leave the bags we will take them out later" Lilith said,

"Okay" Vivian replied with a small yawn as they all entered the castle and her parents were sleeping.

Everyone went to their room and upon arriving in hers, Lilith threw herself on her bed and she slept away.

While she was sleeping Ash came into her room and brought in her bag, as he did that due to tiredness, he fell on her bed beside her and fell asleep.

Later that day everyone woke up and refreshed themselves, well almost everyone, Cosmo and Ash were still asleep, but when the others went for breakfast they saw the king and queen waiting for them at the dining table.

'Your highnesses" Vivian said,

"Sit down guys," the king said and so they did.

"Good morning your highnesses," Jack said,

'Good morning guys, have breakfast and then we have some questions for you" the queen said as the maid served them.

While they were eating Cosmo appeared in the princess room and when she saw As sleeping beside the girl her eyes started glowing.

"You little snake, you slept near my little phoenix, if you were not her fiancee, I would have strangled your ass, time for you to get up," she said with a wicked smile.

She then opened all of the windows, placed her lips together and her eyes glowed blue and she blew a wind on them and it was so cold and strong that it blew the boy right off of the bed and at the same time the [Princess woke up then Cosmo disappeared.

When Lilith saw Ash on the floor ahs wiped her eyes.

"Eh?.... what are you doing in my room?" she asked,

'Sorry... I must have slept away after I brought in your bag" he responded as he held on to his head.

"The poor guy got his head hit on the floor because o me, ah... that's what you get for sleeping near her" Cosmo said to herself as the princess got up.

"Give me a minute," she said as she left the room and went to the kitchen to grab an ice pack.

The girl then came back into the room.

"Let me see that," she said as he looked at her and she placed it on his head.

"Where did that sudden wind come from?" she asked,

"I don't know it even flung open the windows" he responded as he placed his hand around her waist and his head fell on her as he fell back asleep and her eyes widened then she laughed.

After seeing then Cosmo pouted "that is nothing to smile about, he is obviously trying to hit on you Lilith" she said to herself as she spied on them.

After the girl finished with his head she laid him back gently on the bed and covered him with her blanket.

The princess then went and took a bath.

About half an hour later when she finished, she got dressed and came out by then Ash had to wake up.

'Good morning" he said as she dried her hair and he left staring at her.

She smiled at him "good morning slept well?" she asked,

"Yeah sorry for intruding" he responded,

"No problem," she said then flung her hair.

"You look beautiful," he said and her eyes widened then her face got a little pink.

"T... thank you," she said as he got up,

"Well I am going to take a bath now," he said then left the room and she sighed.

"He is weird for a prince but cute I guess," she said as she walked out of the room and Cosmo disappeared.

The girl went to the dining hall and saw everyone there, she then smiled nervously and sat, then she began eating her breakfast a little while after Ash came and sat near her.

"Good morning everyone," he said and the girl grabbed onto his hand as her father gave her a death stare.

"Relax as long as I am here he won't be able to lay a hand on you," Ash said,

"Okay" she replied nervously as she drank her coffee.

"Lilith why did you go against my wish?" her father asked but she did not answer him.

"Lilith I am talking to you" he shouted and they jumped well all except Ash.

"Why did you lie?" he asked,

"What else could I have done when you are behaving like a tyrant?" she asked on the top of her voice and everyone stared at her in amazement.

Her father then grabbed her by her arm and took her into the main hall and they all followed.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" he asked,

"Apologize Lilith," her mother said nervously,

"I am not going to apologize for being right, not to him, not this time" she replied and her father slapped her to the floor and Ash grabbed onto her, she looked at the prince with tears in her eyes.
