"Are you sure that this girl named Louise exists?" Prince James asked.
Prince Zeus let out a heavy sigh. It's already two days since he met the girl named Louise but until now, he never saw her again. He didn't keep a secret about how they met. He told this to the two princes. But since they don't see the girl, they are now starting not to believe in his story.
Prince Zeus tried to search for the girl on the whole campus but he failed. He can't also search for her on the student lists because he only knew the girl's name. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Impossible but still, he's hoping that he will meet again the girl named Louise.
"Because you don't want to marry the princess, maybe your brain is making a girl you dreamed of," Prince James added wearing a smirk on his lips.
"No. She's not imaginary. I told you, even Athena and her friends met Louise," Prince Zeus said in a serious tone.
He's sure that Louise is true. He even touches the girl's hand and talks to her. He is not imagining things and he is sure of it.
"Is it coincidence? Do you know that Louise is the name of the Queen of Ignis Kingdom?" Prince James asked.
"Of course, I knew it. Why?" Prince Zeus asked.
"Nothing. Maybe this Louise is not true. Or maybe the girl is true but not her name," Prince James answered.
Prince Zeus silenced for a moment. He didn't think that way. What if the girl lied about her name? What if she didn't say her true name in the fright of him being a prince? But even if it's not her true name, he should see the girl because they are in the same school.
"Do you really like her, Prince Zeus?" Prince Philip suddenly asked.
Prince Philip doesn't want to join the conversation but he's now curious about the girl. Because the girl she accidentally met a while ago is the same as the description of Prince Zeus about the girl named Louise. But the girl she met is Thea. It's impossible that they met with the same girl.
"Is it a sin if I say yes?" Prince Zeus answered.
Prince James shakes his head. This should not be happening. As for him, he also has a girl that catches his attention, the girl she met in the Terra Kingdom, the girl with the Jade bracelet. Until now, he's searching for that girl but like Prince Zeus, he failed. He didn't find the girl and he doesn't know where to find her elsewhere.
"Look, I know you're thinking because I am not in favor of your idea before of not marrying the princess. But when I met this girl, maybe you were right. It's not really a good idea marrying a person you don't love," Prince Zeus explained when his two friends didn't utter any words.
"Well, it is a sin after all. It's like we are betraying the princess. She's preparing herself for her future husband, and we, the candidates are liking someone," Prince James said.
Prince Philip looked away. He's sure that he doesn't like anyone but he doesn't want also to marry the princess. And the two princes having a girl they liked, it's like he should win the competition for the sake of his two friends. But he doesn't like the idea especially since the girl he met earlier bothers him. He can't just simply forget the innocent face of the girl named Thea. Even the soft voice of her lingers in his ears.
"Well, except to Philip. He doesn't like anyone," Prince Zeus said.
"What? Are you saying that I can marry the princess since I don't like anyone? Is it a bit unfair?" Prince Philip protested.
The two princes chuckled. Aside from being the coldest, Prince Philip is also the most short-tempered. And they know that their friend is already pissed. It's obvious that all of them don't want to marry the princess. But how they can escape their destiny? How they can fight for what they want?
"As our friend, don't you want us to be happy?" Prince James jokingly asked.
"Nope. As if your girls were real."
"Wait. If you will able to meet the girl we like, you will marry the princess?" Prince Zeus asked smilingly.
"I am not saying that. But if I met these girls and when I knew that they are deserving, maybe I will think about it," he answered.
"Don't worry. I will find Louise," Prince Zeus said.
"And I will find the owner of this bracelet," Prince James said.
"Yeah. you better find them before I find Ms. Thea," Prince Philip said in low voice but unfortunately, he was heard by the two princes.
"Wait, who is Thea?" Prince James asked surprisingly.
"Is it true? You also have a girl you like?" Prince Zeus asked in disbelief.
Prince Philip shakes his head. "Find your girls, then we will talk about the competition again."
Prince Philip stood up and started to walk. He didn't want to tell to the two princes about Thea but he doesn't understand why he uttered those words. It's like those words were automatically said by his mouth. And now for sure, his friends won't stop until they knew little pieces of information about Thea.
