Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 124 - Her Troublesome Visitor

It's been six days since Rose woke up and this so called cousin of hers did not seize to play the role Anna played in her life by being really clingy and something it could get really uncomfortable. If he was Anna, she will most likely not feel as uncomfortable as she felt with him but since he was not Rose but a boy she saw some hours after she woke up.

"I am really interested in fashion," he continued as always. "I really want you to take me in as your apprentice."

"Go to school," she simply replied him with a slight smile.

"I will go to school definitely but I don't think I will learn what you can teacher me in school," he murmured displeased.

She really wanted to send him out of the room with a broom stick but she could not considering the vulnerable state she was in. "Does Leah know that you here again to disturb me?" she asked tiredly.

"She does not need to know but I am sure they will come looking for me soon," he said with a bored look as he stared at the door as though waiting for someone to open it anytime soon.

"Sure, they will," Rose agreed.

"I heard your mother was isolated by our family after she married your dad," he suddenly brought that up without warning.

"I don't know what you are talking about after all I was not given birth to when that happened," she replied not liking the feel of the throbbing headache she felt listening to what he had to say.

"Yeah that is right. You are older but I know that," he said proudly boasting.

"Okay, so what? You and I don't know each other. Why are you acting as though you've known me all your life?" she asked frowning. Leah warned her earlier that the boy was not as innocent as he seems but he will definitely not hurt her.

"You and I became best friends from the first moment we met each other. It was glorious. I swear I saw fireworks," he said enjoying the look of disapproval Rose gave him. "Most importantly, blood is thicker than water. We are cousins right?"

"Distant cousins," she corrected him immediately. "I am adopted so we share no blood relation."

"I don't care. I know you might have forgotten . . . well . . . I know you more than you think I do. Do you believe someone can remember what happened to him when he was three years old?" he asked as he arranged the flowers he asked Leah to get for Rose in a vase.

". . ."

"Well, I remember you. I remember the princess. Your eyes were the most beautiful things I have ever seen growing up without my mother. You were so elegant and nice to me. Most people were not nice to me while I was growing up but you and your mother, the late queen showed so much kindness to me. I have always wished your mother was my step mother.

"I knew you were the princess from the moment I saw you on TV. Your eyes made me remember immediately. They used to be a little bit more greenish than they are now but I still remember them. They were so beautiful. Your mother told my father to bring my brother and I over to the palace because she used to like my late mother so much like a sister.

"I was so little and clueless of how much power she wielded but she became my hero from that day till today and you became my angel," he narrated sincerely. By the time he was done with his narration, he had finished arranging the flowers into the glass vase and added water from a bottle into it.

"Do you expect me to take credit for the kindness the late princess showed you?" Rose asked unwilling to accept credit for what she did. She got her memories back but some fragments were missing. She could remember a few kids she used to see growing up in the palace which were really few and included only the royals and nobles but she could not remember the boy before her. A boy with very blonde hair that looked almost bleached was definitely not in the memories she regained.

"I used to have brown hair but I wanted it to look better I bleached it. I can't believe you think this is my natural hair color. I wish you get well soon because your state is not doing the great fashion designer in you any good," he said shaking his head pitifully.

Rose almost chocked on her saliva listening to what he had to say. Did she just compare him to her sister, Anna? His shamelessness was definitely off the chart. "Please leave I need to rest. Please don't come here again because my immune system is not at its best and don't want you to give me something I don't wish to have," she told him frowning.

"Oh! Really?! I never knew you had a sense of humor. I will definitely reward it with my laughter," he said laughing in a manner she found nerve-wrecking.

Where the hell did Leah find this pest? She wondered what made him think she said that as a joke. "I really need to rest. I am not feeling good."

"Then, I am sorry. I guess it is time I leave for today," he said now serious. At least he knew when to stop joking. "Should I call the doctor?"

"If I want to do that, I can do it from here," she said glancing at the button close to her bed.

"Oh, right! I will leave now. Who is your favorite writer? I want to get some books for you," he said when he got to the door of her room.

"I don't know. I won't mind any interesting novel. You can get me one you have read and you think is good enough."

"A thriller?"

"I won't mind that," she replied and watched him leave after nodding. She wondered when her sister will be free enough to pay her a visit as she stared around the empty large room when he left.
