Alma POV 14/17

After having enjoyed a delicious lunch, we decided to drink some cold drinks while walking across the park of the Kingdom, it was an extensive wilderness area in the middle of the entire city, we arrived there through a special taxi-like carriage, and we had been enjoying the day while drinking these cold drinks, which were something like very sweet fruit juices with ice cubes. They were refreshing for the heat of today.

”Did you enjoy the day, Alma? ” asked Elred at my side as we sat down below a tree giving a lot of shadows.

”Yes, it was a fun day, this is the first time I finally got outside my room, you know? ” I asked.

”Yeah, you ’ve mentioned it multiple times… ” said Elred, as he drank his juice. His preferred flavor was orange while I preferred apple… been a while since I drank something so refreshing. It takes me back to the old days back on Earth where I drank cold drinks in the middle of the morning…

”Hehe, thank you for helping me out, ” I said. I couldn ’t help but feel grateful for this kid, he had done a lot for me without asking for anything in return, so I felt the necessity of thanking him as I could.

”A-Ah… I-It ’s nothing… really! ” he said while growing red.

”Well, it means a lot to me! Hopefully, we can go out more. Maybe tomorrow too, as you ’re staying today, right? ” I asked.

”T-That ’s right… S-Sure! ” he said.

”Good! Let ’s explore a lot more! I want to see what this Kingdom has to offer to their princess. ” I said with a greedy smile.

We admired the beautiful park, the small trees, the nice breeze, and the warm sunlight. I don ’t know why but this is the perfect romantic summer atmosphere, and I am kind of beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable by how much Elred is looking at me as if admiring my body while bathing in the sunlight.

”What ’s wrong? Why do you look at me so much? ” I asked.

”Ah! I-It ’s just… Y-You ’re very pretty when you bathe in the sunlight… ” said Elred, looking at me with sincere and loving eyes, a warm, cute, and gentle smile emerged on his adorable face.

He ’s really making me blush now… How come! I shouldn ’t be getting so embarrassed over another man ’s praises this much! T-This feels wrong on so many levels, yet my own mind is now thinking it ’s actually fine…

”Uweh… ” I sighed. As I ended getting red and averting my gaze from him.
