~Once Upon A Love System~ ~His Highnesses Wild Kitty²~

Nicholas

*hastily walking away* *rubbing his wrist* (If he's our new king, we're doomed.)

Nicholas

*glance at his wrist* (It's swollen..)

Nicholas

(..Do I have some of those swelling reducing herbs left..? I think I used the last of them on that little boy..)

Nicholas

(And I didn't even get the book.. because of that clown of a prince.)

He made his way out of the village to a small cottage

The cottage was surrounded by flowers and other herbs

Nicholas

*glance towards a bright red flower* (Looks like it's going to mature in a few days..)

He walks into the cottage and starts searching through shelves with marked bottles

Nicholas

There it is.. *takes a bottle*

Nicholas

It's empty..*sigh*

Nicholas

I'll just bandage it until my package arrive.. *mumble*

The front door opens and a young lade walks inside

Amelia

Oh, Nicholas you're back

Nicholas

*Looks at her* What are you doing here?

Amelia

I came to leave some vegetables from my parents farm *holds up a basket*

Nicholas

*sigh* I've told you and your parents that it's not necessary..

Amelia

Ofcourse it is..

Amelia

You're living alone in a secluded area and only care about flowers and plants

Amelia

If we didn't keep an eye on you, you might starve to death

Nicholas

It's not that serious..

Amelia

Says the guy who didn't eat for 3 days because his precious flower seemed to be dying *placing vegetables on the table*

Nicholas

It was a really expensive flower.

Amelia

*glance at him*

Nicholas

It is! It's also the main ingredient for the medicine against vomiting and nausea.

Nicholas

It's really profitable. A lot of pregnant people buy it.

Amelia

Yeah yeah. I already know.

Amelia

You gave it to my mother after all

Amelia

But, *turns to him* when are you going to find a life of your own?

Nicholas

Life of my own? Isn't this my life? *gesture towards his herbs*

Amelia

*chuckle* I mean finding a mate, creating a family

Nicholas

*Looking at her* You know I'm not interested in that kind of life.

Nicholas

I prefer to be alone in my house.

Amelia

*sigh* It's your choice. But please consider it. Living alone for the rest of your life maybe isn't so fun in the long run

Amelia

*notices his hand* What happened to your arm?

Nicholas

Ah. Some guy forcefully grabbed it. It's a little swollen but it's fine

Amelia

Forcefully? What happened?

Nicholas

He pushed me to the ground and then yanked me behind a bookshelf to hide from some guards

Amelia

Guards? Why was the guards after that man?

Nicholas

They yelled "his highness" or something.

Amelia

Wait...the person who pushed you was a member of the royal family?

Nicholas

I guess

Amelia

What happened next?

Nicholas

I slapped him and walked away

Amelia

*stares at him*

Nicholas

What?

Nicholas

He looked down at me for being an omega. I had enough.

Nicholas

Royal or not.

Amelia

You have a death wish.. *sits down on a chair* slapping a prince..*mumble*

Nicholas

*shrug* I'm the only one in this tiny kingdom who knows everything about herbs, so I don't think they would get rid of me.

Suddenly, they were both startled by loud and hard banging on the door

Nicholas went to open the door and in his garden was 5 guards

Guard 1

Are you Nicholas Bryne?

Nicholas

*glance at them* Yes.

Guard 1

You need to come to the palace immediately.

Nicholas

*glance at Amelia*

Amelia

*Looks at him frightened*
