Chapter 274 - Big Prince Siegfried & Little Prince Siegfried

"Are you terminally ill?" Aleksis asked worriedly. "Why do you think you will die before you can meet me again? My father is a very skilled doctor... He will definitely be able to cure your illness..."

"You said your father doesn't work...?" asked 'Prince Siegfried' in surprise, "Now suddenly he is a doctor? Little girl, you are indeed very good at scheming."

"No... I did pretend that my name was Laura, and I tricked you to jump into the ocean, but this time I am telling you the truth. My father is a great doctor, but he is currently not practicing. He is taking a long break to stay at home with our family..." Aleksis was aware that Prince Siegfried wouldn't trust her words easily because she always talked so carelessly.

"Hmm... alright." Prince Siegfried nodded. He suddenly felt tired of this conversation, "I'm not sick, don't worry, but I'm not sure if I will have a long life either. That's why I can't promise to meet you again for the Go game match. So today, I just admit defeat."

He shook hands with Aleksis, who was dumbfounded and shook her head unsatisfied.

"I am pleased to meet you, for the second time, Aleksis. If we have a third meeting in the future, I will consider us to be destined, just as you and your puppy are destined to meet." Prince Siegfried stroked the back of the puppy on Aleksis' lap with affection, "Do you already have a name for him?"

Aleksis pursed her lips, "His name is Prince Siegfried!!"

The young man gasped in surprise, but his face looked amused, "Why... am I your dog now?"

"The thing is, you said that if we will meet again for the third time, it shows that we are destined, just like I am destined to meet this puppy. So, I will just consider him as you," Aleksis shrugged.

The young man nodded seriously and ruffled Aleksis' hair, looking amused. "Alright then."

The cellphone in his hand suddenly rang and 'Prince Siegfried' saw a foreign number on display. Ah, this must be Aleksis' parents. He handed the cellphone back to Aleksis, so the girl could talk on the phone.

"Hello..."

"Oh my... Aleksis... Mummy is very happy to hear your voice. Are you OK, baby?"

"Oh... Mummyyy!!! Yes, I'm fine... Mum, are you here?" Aleksis asked happily. She recognized her mother's voice. "I'm in the lobby of a hotel."

"Mummy is almost there. Wait for me there, Baby. Soon Mummy will enter the lobby."

"OK."

Aleksis hung up with a happy face. She stroked the puppy's head while smiling broadly.

"My mother is almost here..." She turned to 'Prince Siegfried' "Do you want to see my mother?"

"No, thank you." The young man shook his head. "It's time to part, Little Girl."

Instantly Aleksis felt very sad. She really liked this young man who helped her and treated her so well. Even though their ages were far apart, they were able to get along well with each other and respect each other.

She remembered how she always wanted to have an older brother, and it felt like everything she wanted from a big brother was met by her 'Prince Siegfried'.

If only the young man was not so mysterious and would want to keep in touch with her, Aleksis would be happy to consider him as her first brother, and Terry her second brother...

"Uhm... just a moment..." Suddenly the girl remembered something. She removed the white ring with a pearl decoration from her finger and handed it to 'Prince Siegfried'. "I don't have anything to give as a thank you for helping me... This is my most precious treasure; it's a gift from Uncle Rory... I want you to have it..."

"Hey... you shouldn't regift a gift," 'Prince Siegfried' said, "That's disrespectful to the person who gave you the gift. Besides, I'm not a girl, I don't deserve this beautiful ring."

Aleksis shook her head, "Uncle Rory wouldn't mind. He taught me to be grateful. He gave me this ring because he loves me so much and this was his most precious possession. Now I give it to you because you saved my life. I wish to show you my gratitude by giving my most precious treasure..." She placed the ring on 'Prince Siegfried's palm and closed his hand, "Please accept it, do not embarrass me."

'Prince Siegfried' thought for a moment, then nodded. "Well. I don't want to embarrass you. I helped you because I received a lot of help in the past too... I was just paying it forward. But I appreciate your gift, Little Girl. Yes... don't let me see you for the third time because then I have to save you again..."

Aleksis frowned, "Save me again for the third time? Big brother, you've only saved me once..."

Prince Siegfried just laughed a little. He kept the ring from Aleksis in his pocket and caressed the puppy they had saved.

"Goodbye." He kissed Aleksis' hair gently and then left. He saw a beautiful woman who looked like Aleksis walking in a hurry towards the lounge.

"Aleksis!!" Finland ran towards the girl and within ten seconds she had grabbed her daughter into her arms. "I was so worried..."

Aleksis looked back and could not find 'Prince Siegfried' nor his shadow anywhere. The young man had disappeared. In the end, she could only sigh and respond to her mother.

"Mom... I'm fine."

"Oh... what is this? A puppy? From where?" asked Finland. She saw the puppy sitting next to Aleksis as she relaxed her arms, "What happened to you? Who helped you?"

"I'll tell you at home, okay, Mum..." Aleksis said reluctantly. She raised her dog and Finland asked the hotel staff to bring Aleksis' bag to the car. They went out in unison.

'Prince Siegfried' stared at the scene from behind the elevator without blinking. He was amazed to see how beautiful and young Aleksis' mother was. Was it because she's half Asian? He thought.

He knew that genetically Asians had a youthful appearance. Inwardly, he thought that when Aleksis grew up, she would also be as beautiful as her mother, or even more beautiful.

"Take care of yourself, Little Girl," he said softly, before finally stepping out through the back door.

Caspar got out of the car when he saw Aleksis and Finland leave the hotel. He couldn't hold back his emotion. He embraced Aleksis tightly and almost shed tears.

"I'm sorry Daddy couldn't take care of you, Baby... From now on you will always be protected. I will never allow this kind of thing to happen ever again..." He whispered.

"Ugh... Daddy, I'm short on breath. Hug gently, please..." protested Aleksis. She was trying to save her puppy from her father's body, "Prince Siegfried is dying..."

Caspar let go of his embrace and frowned, "Prince Siegfried? Who?"

"My puppy... I saved him and named him Prince Siegfried," Aleksis said. "If you make me my favorite meal, I will tell you all about my adventures this week with Big Prince Siegfried and Little Prince Siegfried."

Caspar smiled broadly. His daughter was still as happy and carefree as usual. That meant she didn't experience anything horrible nor traumatic .

He would patiently wait for Aleksis to tell him everything that had happened. He was also waiting for a report from Jadeith about the identity of the person who helped Aleksis.

"All right. Let's go home. Daddy will cook for you..."

Caspar held Aleksis and guided her to the car with her puppy. Finland followed from behind and they immediately drove back to the Continental Hotel.
