"Yuniko! It's a good thing you're here now--who are you?" A man as tall as me, with long black hair that reached his shoulders, narrow eyes, a pointed nose and red lips opened my eyes.
I grinned inside. This one, smart but has cheating parents, the only sin I smell in him is jealousy.
"Where's the old yuniko?" It's a question again.
"My name is Ksara, my cousin left and I took over as the new yuniko of the dear prince." I said, another man peeked out from behind him with narrow eyes, just the right length of hair and slightly bigger than us.
"You are a woman, shouldn't the yuniko of majesty is a man?" He asked the man in front of me, he looked at me. "Did you passed the screening of the beloved king and queen?" This is a question. I nodded in response, frowning.
"Its a miracle, they took a yuniko girl." He whispered, this one is stupid, but cunning in lying. I won't be surprised if I see it in my place when it's time.
"Alright, come in." Said a man as tall as me, the man behind him suddenly stopped and looked at my horn.
"Your taste in head bands is ugly." He said then looked into my eyes.
"He's still in the bathroom, put his food down first and wait for him to come out of his bathroom." He said and then let me go, as he said, I put the food on a table then looked around the prince's room.
The color is ugly, too painful for the eyes. Aren't these people tired of using bright colors?
"Hey, why did you sit? Just stand up and wait for the prince, why are you sitting on the prince's bed?" A man as tall as me asked.
"Maybe that's the only time he got a room this big." One said.
"Neither." I said so they frowned. "My room is bigger and more spacious than this." I said so they were surprised. "With so much space and size, there's still room for the two of you." I said and smiled at them.
Obviously they didn't get what I said so I just laughed.
"What are you talking about? You're just a lowly yuniko so it's impossible for your room to be bigger than the prince's room." A man said so I laughed then stood up and walked around the area.
"Hey, Just stand up." A man as tall as me said annoyed.
"About how long will it take for the prince to finish his bath?' I asked them.
"What is that noise Bael?" We looked at the speaker from a door inside the room, from there my target came out with half of his body covered in a towel while there were drops of water dripping on his body and wet hair.
My target is here in front of me. Now I'll just think about what I'll teach him first to make him bad.
"By the way, Yuniko, this is Bael." The prince said as he pointed his hand at the man who was one man taller than us. It just raised its eyebrows.
"And this is Cynrad." He said and pointed to the man with long hair and as tall as me. "My friends." He said and smiled at me, I just tried to smile.
"It's beautiful, look at it too." he said and raised his right hand, it was the same as the purse he wore on me.
The wrinkles on my forehead slowly disappeared, he smiled and looked at me.
"That, that's a symbol of our friendship." he said then let go of my hand.
I looked at the purse. Symbol?
"From now on, I won't just treat you like a stranger, I'll be a friend." he said with a smile so I looked up at his smiling face.
I was stunned by what he said, I just looked at him, my brain couldn't process what he said. He went back to shopping the things in front of him.
"From now on, I won't just treat you like a yuniko person, I'll treat you like a friend." friend
~~~~
I stopped and looked at my hand where Pavel was wearing the purse he gave me, a symbol of our friendship. It was not in my hand, I looked again at my human body that Bael and Abiah were crying.
The purse is there, how can I get it if Pavel is watching over my human body?
I was stunned when I saw Bael again hugging my human body. The good times we spent together came back to my memory.
~~~
"I made her sit down, I told her to join me to eat." Pavel said.
"WHAT?!" Bael and Cynrad asked in surprise then looked at me at the same time, I just shrugged my shoulders then looked at the smiling prince.
"Why did you invite her? We who are your friends are not? It's unfair!" Bael said angrily and looked at me evilly.
"You know, you have your own room and food, the Yuniko are always tailing us royal and doesn't have a permanent room that's why I invited her to eat because I know she hasn't eaten yet." Pavel said then looked at me.
"Let's eat." He said while smiling.
"Okay." I said staring at him, my forehead wrinkled again as he just smiled at me and seemed to be waiting.
"Put food on his plate." Cynrad whispered to me so annoyed that I looked at the prince who was looking at me with a smile.
"Huh?" I ask.
I smiled at the prince, why should I serve this creature?
I took the food near me and started eating, Bael and Cynrad's eyes widened while Pavel's smile disappeared.
"What are you doing?" Bael asked me irritably. I smiled at the prince then showed the food I had bitten.
"It's delicious, try to take it and eat it." I said and nodded again, Bael and Cynrad's jaws dropped because of what I said.
"T-take it?" Pavel asked, he seemed to be used to it being the only ones who put his food on his plate.
"You have hands, right? What's the use of them if you don't use them?" I asked while smiling causing the three to be even more surprised.
He hopes that I will serve him. I should be served and not weak creatures like him.
"T-that's right." He stammered then took the food that was near him, I smiled when I saw that he was not used to taking it.
~~~
Suddenly, I thought about Bael and I's past, the past where I was with them in my first life.
~~~
"Karma, hurry up let's take a picture!"
"Wait, Bael isn't here yet!"
"You guys miss me so much, I'm still waiting for Cynrad for a while."
"Let's go first Karma."
"I'm on my way!"
"Okay, look at the camera, 1,2,3."
"Look at us."
"It's so cute here."
"You are really beautiful Karma."
"Cheat doesn't come along!"
"You're so slow."
~~~
My tears flowed even more when I remembered how happy we were when I brought them to the beerhouse.
~~~
"Hey, consume that!" Bael was obviously right, I laughed to myself and crossed my legs.
"Hey Yuniko, why aren't you drinking?" Cynrad asked causing the two to look at me.
"I'm drinking, I already have a lot." I said while pointing to the empty bottles.
It's true that I've had a lot to drink, while they, less than half way through, they were immediately hit.
"Ksara you said, let's talk about what we should do." said Pavel leaning on Bael's shoulder.
"Hmm, yes. I just waited for you to remember, I don't want to spoil your happy time earlier." I said then smiled at them.
"Hayst, there's so much you're saying, just tell me what the rules are that you're going to implement." Cynrad said and took another sip of wine.
I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair.
"First, you are not allowed to touch me." I said so the three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time, making me angry with them.
What's so funny about what I said?
"We're not holding you, only Pavel is holding you," said Cynrad.
"Then why should I hold you? Maybe later you have bacteria and you can infect me." said Bael laughing. I'm so tired.
"Just, the first rule is clear to you." I said.
"Why don't you want to be touched?" asked Pavel, stopping me.
Why? Of course because there are some images I see every time he touches me.
"Next Rule, follow what I say." I said, I didn't answer Pavel's question.
"Can we do anything about that part, you are the one who knows the most about the town," said Cynrad.
"Thirdly, the three of you need to put aside your royalty." I said making Bael look at me.
"Why?" he asked.
"Do you think it will do you any good if they find out that you are from inside the palace? There may be trouble and your lives will be in danger." I said to silence him. I'm so tired.
I shouldn't have said that, what do I need to know if their lives are in danger? That's what I want. I was wrong about that part.
"Fourth, avoid being artistic, especially Bael." I said that Cynrad and Pavel laughed, Bael looked at me evilly and crossed his arms.
"Being artistic doesn't make a man look good. Act like a real man." I added.
"What you're saying is already hurtful." He said that's why I'm so tired.
"And finally..." I stopped as I couldn't think of any other rules to add.
"What's the last one?" Pavel asked, I looked at him and remembered again what I saw when I touched the picture in the basement.
"You can't.... fall for me." I said, the three were silent for a moment and Bael and Cynrad suddenly laughed while Pavel just stared at me. "Seriously? As if we both like you, you're not our type of girl." Cynrad said.
"Good." I then said to work hard. "You're not my type of man either, young minds." I said to drink wine again.
What came out of my mouth? I looked at the behavior of Pavel who had closed his eyes while leaning his head on Bael.
"Look at this guy, he's passed out." Bael said and laughed. I didn't take my eyes off Pavel. A few minutes later Cynrad fell asleep while Bael's eyes were closed.
I forgot to do my plan to mess this place up, I was too interested in looking at Pavel.
"Hi Yuniko." Bael said softly and pointed at me, he smiled then laughed. "About your last... last rules." He said and put his arm on the table then laughed. "We will never… never like you… ever." He said as he lost consciousness. I just looked at the three of them.
"Good." I whispered then took a deep breath.
~~~
I didn't expect that.... they would be affected like this if I were to disappear.
