The prince's face fell, he really wished he did not provoke such a devil! He was about to open his mouth to say something but his guard interrupted him: "Miss we can agree to the first condition since we were at fault but the second..."
The guard was really put into a tight spot. He could not let the prince become a dog of some unknown girl but at the same time if he didn't they would all be dead! So all he could do was hope he could reason with the girl and see if she could at least change the condition. But unfortunately, his hope was all for not since Ah Chun was not going to let that happen.
"You see there are only two answers that you can give me. It's either... Yes… Or… Yes. Now pick one, I do not have all day. I do not think I am giving you such bad terms. For the price of me sparing your lives, the Prince only needs to become my people and if he is one of my people that means he also gets my protection. So I do not think these terms are too bad. He will have an extra guard that can protect him while he is at the academy. As long as he is willing to be my backing and cover up the messes that I might cause. Because as you can see my appearance is one that will bring trouble and as you now know I do not put up with anyone trying to bully me or my friends. So in a way, it is a win-win situation." Ah Chun's cold eyes panned across the three guards and landed on the Prince. Her gaze sent chills up the Prince's spine. "So Prince what is your opinion on this?"
The Prince was really cursing himself at this time. But when he thought of how strong she was he couldn't help but think the deal was not that bad. To have an extra guard that was out in the open would allow him to feel more at ease. This was especially true now that the other princes were all aiming for the throne. His talent was the highest out of all of them and if he was not careful they would find a way to get rid of him to push themselves forward. The more he thought about it, he realized he would not have to do much. All he had to do in return was get the girl out of trouble when she caused an issue. With his status as the current crown prince, it would be easy to deal with such issues even if she went on a killing spree.
Thinking to this point the Prince made a firm decision. "You have a deal. I agree to both your conditions. "
"Un... Good! You made the right decision. Now, Mr. Guards, can you lower your swords we are all on the same side now. Oh yes, don't forget the apology..." Ah Chun was very pleased. Now she would not have to worry too much when offending people in the academy. Although this world was where the strong rules and the weak were nothing but ants for the strong. In order to not allow oneself to be stepped on it always helped to have some sort of backing and Ah Chun had just stumbled upon one of the best backings you could have. This way at the very least they would not attack her out in the open.
"Yes, yes of course. Miss… I'm sorry I do not know your name." The Prince knew when to be humble. Although at first, he was not so willing to be a lackey to anyone since he was the crown prince, the heir to the throne of the Heavenly Realm. He knew that the girl could not only kill him but his three guards as well and he knew when to sumbit when needed. He was lucky that her conditions were not so bad and would not make him lose any face. If it was one of his brothers then they would have surely died due to their own arrogance. Since they did not know when to take a step back to gain ten steps forward.
"My name is Ah Chun. You can just call me Young Miss for now. Although we have struck a deal, we have yet to form any kind of friendship so until then just call me Young Miss." Ah Chun was very direct on this matter. She did not want this prince to call her in any familiar way at this point and time.
"Then Young Miss I do apologize for my earlier behavior and words. Also Young Miss's friend I am sorry for my earlier actions." Meimei who was still standing down below was a bit surprised at how this whole situation had turned out. So when the prince said his apologies she could only nod her head to him.
"Un… Good. Then, Prince, I will see you at the Academy." Not waiting for an answer Ah Chun floated down to the first-floor landing next to Meimei. "Meimei let's go." Meimei nodded her head and followed along after Ah Chun.
Watching as Ah Chun started to walk away hew couldn't help but yell out. "How did you know I was going to the Academy?"
"Your uniform!" Ah Chun said while waving her hand up over her head never turning around as she continued to make her way up the stairs. As for Meimei, she had gone back to her rightful spot of cuddling Ah Chun's tail.
