Help Me, My Prince!
Chapter I: The First
In the spring, many people would gather their family members to meet each other to have a
memories full of joy. In the Winter, everyone would prepare for the royal exam to enter the Royal Court. However, their life wasn't the same as I do. I, Melena Vonyigre (Vonviygre-shortened) will gain my freedom soon!
The bird were chirping outside the mansion of Vondagre. It wakes me up. The bird has a wonderful life. Traveling the world by flying... They are lucky. They can fly whenever they want. Aside from that, have a freedom. However... they are just too Vulnerable. They can't even protect themselves from the predators bigger than them, specially when it comes to humans itself. So do I? It is really stupid. I just want to travel the world, witnessing how the people in the capital lives their own lifes. Its not always happy being born as a Noble. You still need to work hard in order to achieve something. So why bother if there is no difference?

Cesellie Von Gard
What are you guys talking about?
Irene Zartptoy
Nothing, its just her brother.
Cesellie Von Gard
Well then, do you think Brother Fan will accept my gift?
Mia Vonifan
Mind your actions, Cesellie.
Cesellie Von Gard
Why can't I think of it?
Cesellie Von Gard
I mean, there is nothing wrong with that.
Mia Vonifan
Yes, there is nothing wrong. But we are the daughter of the well known Families. This is not a private place to talk about daydreams.
Cesellie Von Gard
So what if im?
Mia Vonifan
Sigh*
Why can't you be serious? We are in the middle of noble banquet.
Irene Zartptoy
Haha, you know what? Let's just go, the banquet will start soon.
Melena Vonyigre
Yes, she is right. Let's go.
Cesellie Von Gard
Alright.
As soon as the banquet starts, many performer sings and dance while the guest were having fun.
Someone called out my name. Unsuprisingly, it is someone who always approach me.
Filbert Von Celbino
Hi, good evening, ladies.
Cesellie Von Gard
What is this guy doing here..?
Mia Vonifan
Hey, Irene, did you invite him?
Irene Zartptoy
I think it was my grandpa who invites his dad.
Filbert Von Celbino
My lady, do you want to have a dance?
Melena Vonyigre
Im sorry, but no, I don't want to go dance. Its too crowded here.
Filbert Von Celbino
Its alright, I can ask them to give us some space. What do you think?
Melena Vonyigre
Please pardon me, but, Im still in a middle of conversation with my friends.
Melena Vonyigre
Also, Mr. Celbino, please watch your attitude.
I walk away as if nothing just happened.
This is what always the scenes is whenever I attend banquets and invitations from the other nobles. Afterall, this isn't private banquet.
Every time someone ask for me, I always turned them down in order to keep my title and my Family's background. Once there will be rumors, It will only create more and more problems not only my family but also to someone who will dare to befriends with me.

Irene Zartptoy
She asked for you again?
While we were chatting, a man in the black suits suddenly run towards me that I almost fell. He hold my shoulders and my back waist so that I will not fall. He let go of me and run to the exit of the villa.
Everyone was so terrified, but I.. I felt like my heart was beating so fast. I was in daze.
I keep distracting from what happened.
Melena Vonyigre

Irene Zartptoy

Irene Zartptoy

Gilbert
We didn't see his face, he knows Gufen.
Irene Zartptoy
How can someone who know Gufen came here?
Melena Vonyigre
(Its strange.. If he came here to kidnap someone so he can make money, why would he care about me falling?)
Melena Vonyigre
I think the person just now is a noble person.
Irene Zartptoy
Are you sure?
Melena Vonyigre
Yes. I saw him wearing the Tsuerengi badge just now.

Melena Vonyigre
I also wanted to apologize. I can't meet your mother to see me right now.
Cesellie Von Gard

UPCOMING CHAPTER:
Chapter III: Morning Capital
Chapter III: Morning Capital
After the incident yesterday, rumors started to appear around the capital.
It is a total mess right now.
I knock on my father's office room and he ask me to come in
Melena Vonyigre
Can I talk to you?
James Vondegre
Is it about last night?
Don't worry about it, your mother has been looking for that guy.
Melena Vonyigre
How about the rumors?
James Vondegre
It will stop after a little while.
That's right. We are a noble family, whatever problem it is, as long as you are rich you can rent someone to stop those rumors. To us, its just a gossips that will disappear soon.
Thats what the upper level's difference from the lower level.
If someday this world will turn good, my life can be more good. I love simple life rather than seeing the nobles and riches. Hopefuly.. Oneday.
Melena Vonyigre
Father, im going to leave.
She closes the door and goes back to her room
At night, she was staring at the moon thinking if she will be able to walk in the capital freely without someone looking after her, without any harm.
Suddenly, a bird came and she smiled.She wonders again, the bird understand her feeling and she does understand them.
Melena Vonyigre
It seems like even the heaven were looking after me.
Melena Vonyigre
Im happy for you accomponying me here.
As the nights becoming deeper and deeper... I fall asleep in my chair.
The wind blows towards me while i was sleeping.
It is unusual, like, someone is touching.
Then, I heard that someone called my name
"Elena Jadiah!", "Elena Jadiah!"
The next day, I woke up sleeping in my bed while sitting.
I opened my eyes slowly and the bird didn't come. Its weird... Everymorning it will come, why didn't it come today?
Melena Vonyigre
Uh.. Feir.
Feir
I heared that the party was attacked by--
Feir
My lady, Why are you sitting in there?
Feir
Are you worried about the incident?
Melena Vonyigre
Im just finishing my paper wor--
My servant took all of my Paper Work so i could stop from over working myself.
Feir
My Lady, think about it, if you die because stressing yourself, there is no someone to feed me.
As i thought, even if they are close to you, they will only think of themselves when their master was in troubled.
That is how the selfish people would be. Even if they are rich and noble blooded one.
I say her name in a serious tone.
Melena Vonyigre
Do you think... it was the time to change your master? and stop serving me?
Feir
My lady, what was the word you are talking about?
Feir
Since I met you, I swear that I will serve and protect you even if I need to sacrifice my own life.
Feir
My lady, are you going to send me away?
The atmosphere is very silent. I never thought that she will be this loyal.
When we first met, her mother passed away while she was force to become a 'Rented Slave'.
That time, my mother and I were looking for the Heirbloom flower.
I saw her and my mother left at the assitant's care. I approach her and lent my hand to her. Altought she is just a daughter from lower class called, Unfilopbant Frelle, I still lent my hand. I wanted to befriends with someone whom will not care who am I. I saw that to her.
She is a loyal person whom will never betray you. Since she trust me the most as a Noble Daughter, we made a promise.
"To never regret, to never being left behind"
Melena Vonyigre
(I completely forgot about it.)
I suddenly hugged her and say..
"I was so sad that I forgot about someone who cares about what i feel."
Then, later on... She help me get dressed.
She always do help me, even if she thought that she couldn't do anything but to hear me and listen to it.
I know that I couldn't do anything to stop those people who made the normal people and the lower people suffer.
But now, I know that I, Melena Vonviygre can do something to change things.
