Lilan's POV
Huh? wait look, Phoebe look. isn't that mother? that mortal, she looks exactly just like mother!
You're right Princess. But how could that be possible?
Hmm... Let's go, Phoebe, Let's follow her.
B-but Princess w-wait. It's illegal in this world to just follow someone, it's a crime they call stalking.
So? We won't go to jail if we get caught or just approach her for help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you think is this place, Phoebe?
I also don't know Princess, but look they have prison cells here this must be the guard's station...
Okay then...
"Um, Excuse me. I-I think I'm lost."
"Hey Dear. Are you with someone you know, you're friends maybe?" Said the lady who looked like my mother.
"N-no. I'm not with anyone" I lied.
"Oh, is that so... Hmm, then what can I help you with, dear?"
"I, um, ran away from home, and I--"
"Kids these days, really," she whispered.
"So, would you like to stay here for the night?" She added.
"May I?"
"Um, yeah of course."
"T-thank you. It's just that I have yet to find accommodation, and all of my friends refused to let me stay at their houses for a few days."
"It's fine. Just call me Clarise, Hmm?" The woman said as she smiled genuinely at me.
"O-okay, Clarise."
Suddenly there was some shouting of men that entered.
"Captain, these sick drunkards kept starting fights with everyone that comes by them down there on the street."
"Ha, it's started. you just stay there okay."
"Okay, Clarise," I said nodding.
"Hey, hey, stop! I said stop! Enough!All of you!Ouch! Damn!" Clarise yelled as she was pushed hard by the drunk man.
"H-hey I said stop it will you!" She shouted once more, trying to make them stop.
"What is it to, huh, b***h! You stay out of this! You're just a mere sissy here! Dear, this is the big brothers' fight I'll talk with you later. How about a drink just you and me?" The drunk man said, but before he could even touch Clarise I dashed in the middle of both of them.
"Dare touch her and I'll break both of your hands into thousands of pieces," I said as I glared at him.
"Hahaha! Would you look at this pretty lad we have here, protecting your mom, eh?"
"Correction, she's not my mother, but it's all the same, whoever she is I'm still breaking your arm if you dare do anything to her."
" Haha! Okay, I'll leave miss police officer here, if you be her replacement. How 'bout that?"
"I don't think that would be possible how could you hold a glass with broken arms, Hmm?"
"Oh yeah? How do you suppose you'll be able to break my arms?"
"What do you mean how? It's already broken, look, you're bones are already facing the other way." I said nonchalantly.
"W-what the--?! H-how did you do that?! I didn't even feel you touch me! Y-your a witch!" He said as he ran away from me screaming his lungs out.
"Clarise are you okay?" I asked
"H-huh? Oh yeah yeah of course."
"How did you do that?" She asked with shock written all over her face which made me giggle a little bit.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Well, it just that your face says shock all of it," I said as I giggled again.
"And for your first question, well, I was just trained a lot as a kid, it was like some kind of hereditary family tradition of ours," I explained.
"Oh ok then, I understand. Oh right, here, you could sleep in my bed, I'm on night shift today so, you can take the bed." She said as she led me to their boarding quarters.
"Ok, um ... thank you."
"Yeah sure, thanks as well, for you know earlier. Though I felt offended as a policewoman when you protected me but I know you meant good so, yeah thanks!"
"You're welcome! And if there's anything I can do to help just tell me as a way of me paying you back."
"Sure..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I placed my luggage down and unpacked the necessities I needed for the night.
When I finished doing so, I breathed a sigh of relief...
I just have to continue to keep an eye on Clarise and then try to find a lodging that where I can stay while I'm here in the mortal world, oh right I also have to find a way to earn money for my stay here and as well as do my real job here...
Again I breathed another deep sigh...
Oh, Phoebe I just hope we can get by in this world as commoners now, it is indeed different from how we were in the castle but I need this right now Phoebe, and I will stick to my decision...
