Chapter 255 - At Friedrich's House

"I'm definitely not a male escort as you thought last night," Friedrich said with a shrug. His words immediately made Hannah hiccupped.

She became so embarrassed because she had carelessly judged people.

"I'm so sorry," said the girl earnestly. "I'll learn not to judge a book by its cover."

The robot had returned with a tray containing two drinks.

"Have a drink. You both look thirsty," said the robot in a cheerful voice. Hannah was really impressed,

"Ahh ... so clever," said the girl as she accepted a glass of orange juice from a tray.

"Mr. Neuman is indeed clever. He is a genius," said the robot in response to Hannah's words.

"Uh ..." Hannah turned to Friedrich. "Is that true?"

Friedrich nodded as he took his drink glass and took a sip of orange juice. "Yes."

"What's your IQ?" Hannah asked curiously. He had never met a genius before. 

"That is not important." Friedrich refused to answer. "What's important now, we have to think about what you want to do with your life."

"Oh .." Hannah nodded slowly. "You are right."

"Earlier, that bastard claimed to be a prince, is that true?" Friedrich asked Hannah. He then gave a sign for them both to sit on the sofa and rest their bodies.

"That's right," Hannah replied with a disgusted expression. "Valentino is a prince from Spain."

"And you ..." Friedrich gave Hannah a hard look. "... are a princess?"

Hannnah nodded. This time her face turned sad. "I am the youngest child of the king and queen of Moravia."

Friedrich only nodded when he heard Hannah reveal her true identity. Now it all made sense.

Of course, it would be very difficult for Hannah to leave her family. They would not allow her to 'ruin' the reputation of the royal family and the kingdom of Moravia by running away.

"Have a seat," Friedrich said.

He sat in a chair and took a sip of the juice his robot housekeeper gave him. Hannah obeyed and sat on the other chair. Somehow she felt safe with this man.

If Friedrich was willing to help her and wasn't afraid of her family, then she too would be brave. 

They sat like that for a long time. After their drinks were finished, it seemed Friedrich had made up his mind on what to do with Hannah.

"I'm going to get a shower and get ready. I still have to pick up my brother at our friend's house. You can rest and think about what you want to do. We'll talk again later."

Hannah could only nod. She looked at Friedrich, who walked inside to take a shower. Her face was filled with a relieved expression.

It turned out that Frederick really wasn't afraid when he heard that Hannah came from the royal family. He seemed very calm and in control.

Hannah became even more amazed at the young man. Friedrich turned out to be very impressive!

Who was he really?

Ten minutes later, Friedrich was out of his room, dressed in a casual outfit. He wore a short-sleeved shirt with shorts below the knee and sneakers. His appearance was like a student on a school holiday.

For a moment, Hannah was staring at him in awe. Now that she was feeling relieved, the girl started to notice Friedrich's appearance carefully.

This man was very handsome, and he was clearly very young, just like Hannah. His brown hair was a little messy, but it just added to his charm.

He looked like he didn't care about his surroundings and made him look so cool. His eyes appeared amber, or like a very light brown. They reminded Hannah of honey.

However, even though the man looked young, Friedrich had the attitude and gestures of a much older and authoritative person. And, didn't Harley just say that his master was a genius?

All of this made Hannah curious to find out who Friedrich really was.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Friedrich asked Hannah, who was staring at him without blinking. "Is there anything you want from me?"

Hannah shook her head quickly. "No. Uhm .. maybe a little. Can I use the bathroom?"

"Of course. Later, after I leave, you can ask Harley to take care of you." 

The young man turned to his robot housekeeper and gave orders. "Harley, this lady is my guest. Please, serve her well. She will stay in the guest room."

"Thank you," said Hannah.

"Hmm."

Friedrich did not look again. He immediately got out of his house and asked the chauffeur to take him to the Atlas family mansion.

He had to talk to Charles before they returned home, and his brother met Hannah.

***

Harley showed Hannah the guest room and invited her to use the en-suite bathroom. Hannah felt very relieved to be in a place far away from Valentino.

She had turned off her cell phone on the way to Friedrich's house because she didn't want Valentino to track her down.

Now that she already washed her face and freshened up, she sat on the bed and stared at her cell phone, having a dilemma on her head.

She was eager to contact Aurora and Sebastian to inform them of her whereabouts so they would not worry about her. However, she was afraid that if she did, they would be chased by her family and her fiancé's family.

Aurora and Sebastian had always been nice to her. Hannah didn't want to trouble them any further. Finally, she decided to leave the room and meet Harley. She wanted to ask who her savior really was.

"Hello, Harley. Can I ask you something?" Hannah asked when she saw Harley waiting for her in the living room.

"Please, Miss."

Hannah sat on the sofa and comforted herself. She looked around and was impressed by the large, well-appointed house.

"Who is your master? Is he really a genius?" The girl started her question.

Harley answered in a flat, straightforward tone. "That's right. Sir is Friedrich Neumann. Genius scientist of the decade who holds three aviation patents. He earned his master's degree several years ago and he taught university before he moved to work for Atlas X to take humans into space. He is German, and soon he will celebrate his 21st birthday."

"Wow..." Hannah pursed her lips. Now, she felt like she had read about Friedrich before, somewhere on the internet. She never thought that one day she would be able to meet the man in person.

Her thoughts drifted back to the handsome young man who had helped her. As it turned out, Friedrich was no ordinary man.

"So ... his name is Friedrich," Hannah muttered to herself. She then looked at Harley with a gaze of concern. "Does he have a girlfriend?"

"No. Master is too busy to meet girls. And as far as I know, he doesn't like dumb girls. There are too many dumbs girls around him," Harley replied bluntly.

For some reason, the answer from the robot made Hannah feel very happy. To her relief, Friedrich did not have a girlfriend. 

She didn't want to be the cause of Friedrich's strained relationship with another woman just because that man helped her and it made his girlfriend jealous.

This is better, she thought.
