⟨ FUNNY CHENG ⟩
Fine I did. I never forgot about you Tiana, after I almost harmed you, I wanted to push you away by saying I don’t remember anything about you”
“What” Tatiana muttered as her eyes slowly began to form tears.
Cheng sighs and walked closer to her.
“I’m sorry Tiana” He said, but Tatiana landed a hurtful slap on his face. Cheng touch his face and sighs.
“Yeah, I know I deserve it. I was so hurt when I was being controlled to harm Tiana, that’s why I chose to act like I can’t remember you, so you could stay away from me”.
“Was that the best option huh? Do you have any idea how hurt I was when you said you don’t remember me? I felt like dying Cheng!!” Tatiana shouted at him, slowly letting her tears fall down her eyes.
“I’m sorry Tiana. I did that to protect you” Cheng said with a pleading voice.
“You did that to protect me? And yet you didn’t consider how I was going to feel. You are not the only one who gets to decide Cheng”
Cheng tried to hold her hand, but Tatiana snuggled backward.
“I’m sorry Tiana. Sorry I made you cry, but I promise is never going to happen again. I won’t make you cry from today henceforth. I just wanted you to stay away from me, but I can’t stay a day without seeing your face” Cheng said with pleading eyes.
Tatiana snickers hurtfully, cleaning the tears in her eyes.
“Better get used to not seeing my face from now on Cheng” She said.
“W-what do you mean by that Tiana?” Cheng asked.
“You want me to stay away from you, right? I am going to grant you your wish. Since you played dumb by saying you don’t know me, I am going to do the same” Tatiana said and turns to leave, but Cheng quickly held her hand.
“I’m sorry Tiana, you don’t have to ignore me”
“But you did right?”
“Yes I did, but that’s why I’m apologizing to you. I’m sorry pretty damsel” Cheng said touching her cheek, but Tatiana slapped his hand off.
“That’s not going to work on me Cheng. When I was growing up, a lot of people complimented on my beauty” Tatiana said
“And who the heck were does guys?” Cheng asked sounding angry.
“I never said they were guys” Tatiana said.
“Really? That’s good to know then” He said smiling.
“Don’t smile at me. I haven’t forgiving you for making me waste my tears, thinking that you forgot everything about me”
“I understand. How many seconds will it take to forgive me?” Cheng asked
“Two weeks”
“Two weeks? I am going to die before then Tiana” Cheng said.
“Then die” Tatiana said.
“Seriously you are going to be happy if I die?”
“At least I will be able to perform rites and rutuals in your funeral. Avoid me, because I don’t want to talk to you. I will just do like you have said, staying away from you” Tatiana said.
She takes her hand from Cheng and tries to walk away, but Cheng held her again.
“Please Tiana, I am sorry” He said with a pouting lips.
“Let go of me this instant or I won’t talk to you for one month” Tatiana said seriously, and Cheng quickly let go of her.
“I am sorry Tiana” He said in a baby’s voice.
“Sorry for yourself” Tatiana said and walks away.
“Tiana”
“Call my name again, and I won’t forgive you till two months time” She said, and Cheng kept mute blinking his eyes.
Tatiana shot him a glare and finally walked out from his sight.
“I know I don’t deserve her forgiveness, but not talking to me for two weeks will land me in a lovesick situation. I almost died when I said I didn’t remember her. How can I survive without kissing her soft lips?”
“Tiana, I am sorry” Cheng whines like a baby going after Tatiana.

⟨ THE KING’S CHAMBER ⟩
“Has Cheng agreed to stay here in the palace?” King Osvaldo asked.
“He said he is going to think about it, but I am sure he is putting it into consideration” Waylon said.
“That’s good to know then. I hope he stays here in the palace, I want to make up for neglecting me at the time he needed us the most”
“Same here father, and thankfully, he is slowly bonding with me just like ten years” Waylon said smiling.
“Of course he has to, you were his favorite brother ten years ago” Queen Vanya said entering the king’s Chamber.
“Greetings my King” She said bowing to the king, and the king smiled at her.
“Thanks a lot Queen Vanya for supporting that Cheng should remain in the palace, I’m happy you’re not protesting like Queen Anjali and Thiago”.
“Cheng is like a son to me, your majesty. One thing I want is to see a complete family” Queen Vanya said smiling.
“And I want to help him, mother” Waylon said, and both King Osvaldo and Queen Vanya looked at him.
“Help him with what?” Queen Vanya asked.
“Finding the witch that possessed him” Waylon said.
“The witch?” King Osvaldo asked.
“Yes father. I believe Cheng was possessed. We have been quiet for the past ten years and we shouldn’t remain quiet now. The only way to make it up to Cheng, is to find the witch controlling him to be evil” Waylon said.
King Osvaldo nodded his head in agreement to what Waylon said.
“That’s a great idea Waylon. But is definitely going to be hard” Queen Vanya said.
“I know that mother, but I won’t give up on making sure Cheng becomes a normal human being again”.
“I am so proud of you son” King Osvaldo said.
“Thanks father. I will be taking my leave now” Waylon said and leaves the king’s chamber.
He went back to the room Cheng was in, but he wasn’t there, and the bed was neatly arranged.
“Did he go back to the cottage?” Waylon muttered with a sad face.
✨✨✨
Cheng actually didn’t go back to the cottage, he was looking for Tatiana around the palace, to continue pleading with her to forgive him.
He was still on it, when he sighted Jai seated with Marcellus, as he was being tutor.
Cheng looked at Jai and he could see his little self in Jai. He smiled lightly before entering the study room.
“Brother Cheng” Jai said excitedly, and went to hug Cheng. Cheng was indeed surprised that Jai hugged him, he least expected it.
“What are you doing here Brother?” Jai asked smiling.
“Well… I was just walking around the palace” Cheng said.
“Are you finally agreeing to staying here in the palace? Please stay here in the palace Brother, I want to get to know you” Jai said smiling.
“Well I….”
“What the heck are you doing here!!” Queen Anjali yells, coming inside the study room with Thiago.
“I was just talking to Brother Cheng” Jai said, and Queen Anjali quickly dragged Jai to her side.
“Are you trying to possess my son?” Queen Anjali asked, and Cheng shot her a h@ťěful glare.
“Just because the king approved for you to stay here in the palace, doesn’t mean you are allowed to talk to my Brother” Thiago said.
“He wasn’t doing anything wrong Brother Thiago” Jai said.
“Shut up Jai! You don’t know how evil he is. To your room, now!!” Thiago yelled out Jai, and Jai left the study room with a sullen face.
“Stay away from my son” Queen Anjali said and leaves the study room.
Thiago looked at him, and when Cheng furrowed his eyebrows, Thiago quickly left.
Cheng sighs and was about leaving the study room, but he was stopped by Marcellus’s voice.
“Prince Cheng” He said.
Cheng turns to look at him. “Who are you?” He asked.
“I’m Marcellus, Prince Jai’s tutor” Marcellus introduce himself to Cheng.
Cheng looked at him, and nodded his head.
“How is Tatiana?” Marcellus asked.
“How did you know Tiana?” Cheng asked already getting Jealous, that another man apart from him knows Tatiana.
Marcellus smiles when he noticed the jealousness in Cheng’s voice.
“You don’t have to be jealous Prince Cheng, because I don’t even know what Tatiana looks like, I only know her name”.
“How did you know her name?” Cheng asked curiously.
“She is the best friend of Swati. Swati works under me and she is a little bit worried about Tatiana”.
“Tiana is fine. So tell her not to worry” Cheng said, and was about leaving the study room, but he came back again.
“Don’t even think about talking to Tiana, if you want to help Swati find out if Tiana is okay, come to be instead and I will tell you everything” Cheng said sounding serious.
“Wow, you are one heck of a jealous lover” Marcellus said sarcastically.
“I won’t deny that, so if you don’t want your body to turn upside down, don’t even go near my bride” He said, more like a warning.
“Relax man. I’m not planning on talking to Tatiana. My job here is to tutor the last prince of Maelstrom. I won’t be asking after Tatiana if not for Swati” Marcellus said.
“Then we are on good terms”.
Marcellus smiles. “The hearsays about you aren’t true. You are different from what I heard”.
“I am a normal human being if I am not being controlled” Cheng said.
“Aah, I see. Is it okay with you if we practice archery together when next I come to the palace? Is my favorite” Marcellus said smiling.
“Same here”
“That’s cool Prince Cheng”
“Just call me Cheng”
“But you are a prince”
“I am not use to that title since I didn’t live like a royal breed for ten years”.
“Alright Cheng. So is it a yes?” Marcellus asked smiling.
“Let’s see about that” Cheng said, and slowly smiled.
