The Prince's Revenge
22: Promise
Tik tok tik tok
The seconds of the clock clearly filled the room. The cool wind that was exhaled by the air conditioning machine also made the atmosphere of the room calm and comfortable.
There, there were two people who were sitting opposite while eating toast that had been smeared with butter and given pieces of fresh fruits, as a breakfast menu that morning.
The girl, who was happy with the full service of her partner, devoured her with a smile on her face.
“Is that so happy with the food I made?” Ask Egon.
“Iya! I really like this,” he replied loudly.
“Thankful..” says Egon.
“Your face looks tired, does anything bother your mind?” Ask Mysha.
Ever since Mysha was awakened by Egon, she realized that the man's face looked sad. He thought, that was just his feeling, because even Egon had not been awake for a long time.
But, until after they started eating breakfast and had a little chat, the sadness was not gone. Mysha who was worried finally ventured to ask first.
“Ah yes, just a small problem with myself.” she replied.
“Oh so, you can tell me anytime you want.”
“Thank you,”
Silence re-emerged between the two. Although Mysha told her to tell her a story whenever she wanted, she was actually a little disappointed at Egon's reply, which did not tell her the problem at the time. On the other hand, he also wants to appreciate it if he is not ready to tell it.
He still felt that the man before him still had a million secrets that he did not know.
“What do you want to know from me?” as if Egon could read his mind, he spoke up.
“I know you want to know everything, you said that a few days ago. But I don't know where to start,” he explained again.
“Hmm,” Mysha also chose one of the few questions that flashed across her mind. “How similar is the novel to your real life?”
“First book 90% and second book 30%”
“Wow.. as far as that?”
“Yes, the first book is really similar. Only a small part is missing. The second book, broadly similar, but the details are a lot of wrong.”.
“Wow.It was as if in the first book, the author got an inspiration about you. While the second book only wrote according to his imagination.”
“Maybe so,”
“You are not suspicious of the author?” Ask Mysha.
“You mean, because he can write about my life?”
Mysha nodded.
“I'm just trying to think that I'm from a novel like you told me. Because, I was recently convinced, that you and I are from different dimensions.”
“Hmm.. means you are indeed a figure of his creation, so?”
“You could say so..” Egon nodded.
“Or the author got inspired?”
“Maybe so. or.”
“Or?”
“The author is from the same world as me.”
“!!!” Mysha was surprised to hear that. Frederick's? a Frederick from the same place as Egon?
“I don't think that's possible!” Mysha rejected Egon's thoughts on that.
“I've met Frederick several times. He looks like an ordinary man. Even he has photos of his childhood with his parents.” he explained.
“Oh yes?”
Mysha nodded again.
“By the way about Frederick, I told him to call you.”
“Ah, fast last night she sent a message.”
“Oh? He already sent a message apparently.”
“Why suddenly?”
*“*Me and him talking about The Dark Prince storyline. I told him that you have an interesting point of view about the story.”
“If he hears my story, it's like getting a shortcut to write the next book.” Egon snorted in annoyance not accepting.
“You're right! He's actually running out of ideas for it.”
“If he gives me royalties, I want.”
“I'm sure someone as rich as him, will definitely give you untold royalties,”
“Hmm” Egon has finished breakfast first. He also drank white tea which began to warm because of the cold air of the room.
“Egon, are you full of such food?” Ask Mysha curiously.
“Hmm.. eat it not until full, but whether the nutritional content every day is fulfilled or not,” he replied.
“Oh no, I will die hungry if I apply it.”
“Hmm. but your body is muscular.. I think a muscular person like you eats a lot, at least more than you eat now” Mysha who also finished eating her breakfast, got up from her chair and cleaned up the dirty dishes that were on the table.
“You know my body is muscular?” Egon smiled mischievously at him.
“From your hand.and in the novel it says so,” with a shy face he answered.
“You want to see the others?” Egon held Mysha's arm trying to escape into the kitchen to put the dirty dishes.
Seeing Mysha trying to hide her smile from Egon with a very red face, Egon also increasingly wanted to tease her.
“Mysha.”
“Y—ya?”
“Let me just put the plate.” Egon smirked.
He took all the dirty dishes in his hand and started whispering in his ear, “if you start first, maybe I can hold it.”
“Egon!” Mysha also shouted at him who had already walked first towards the kitchen.
“Hahaha” the sound of Egon's laughter echoed in the room.
At the same time, Mysha's phone, which she placed on the table, shook. He checked his phone screen to find out who called him.
“Ah? Frederick called me..” hesitantly, he told Egon.
“Thank you, that's your job too.”
“Hmm, baik” Mysha went to Egon's balcony room and lifted it.
“Halo?”

“Mysha!” Frederick immediately called out to Mysha from a distance when he saw her appear at the entrance of a clothing store.
“Oh hi!” Mysha turned to Frederick and greeted him as their distance approached.
“Sorry to suddenly call you here.”
“It's okay..Who do you want to buy a gift for?” Ask Mysha curiously.
“My mother, tomorrow his birthday,” with a smile Frederick answered.
Mysha could see how the man looked happy to see her. His eyes look sparkling. Unlike the gaze of Egon who rarely seen emotions in it, except when Egon was wanting him.
“Oh so yes?”
*“*Yes, since I don't have many girlfriends, I called you here.. Plus, every time we meet, I see you always wearing fashionable clothes, I'm sure your taste is good.”.
“Oh yes? Whereas all this time, I only choose clothes that look simple.”
“Hahaha.or maybe I just made excuses because I wanted to meet you.”
Hearing that, Mysha fell silent with an uneasy feeling.
“Ah, but about my mother whose birthday is true.”
“Then, are we in?” Mysha responded with a smile.
“Iya, come!” Frederick walked in, next to Mysha.

*Flashback before meeting Frederick*
“He asked you to meet him at the shirt store?” Egon frowned at the reason Frederick called him.
“Iya,” replied Mysha while putting her phone back.
“You're going?”
“Iya, I want to talk directly to him that there are people I like, so I can not accompany him again in the future.”
“Alright.. Then, be careful.”
“Iya. thank you.. You are also passionate about your work today.” Mysha walked towards the door.
“Iya.”
“Egon..” before he went any further, he stopped his steps and turned his head back to look at Egon.
“Humm?”
“I really like you,”
“Hmm? Me either.. What's up?” with a little confusion at Mysha's sudden statement, Egon replied.
“No, the goods of the time you suddenly disappeared when I returned, do not forget me.”
Egon smiled. After drying his freshly washed hands, he approached her and kissed her soft lips.
“Not going..” answer.
