'finally'
Asteria said as she opened the door and saw Matthew towards her , he was coming from her right side , seeing her he stopped and started staring for a moment they both kept staring at each other when they noticed Rafael running towards them
"hah hah found you"
Rafael said while breathing heavily
"why are you running", Mathew said
"what do you mean you were the one who didn't wait for me"
Rafael said angrily , Matthew was just about to state his reasoning when he was interrupted by Rafael calling out to his sister in excitement , he rushed towards Asteria and hugged her
"sister what are you doing here , can you gimme a kiss"
he said making faces
"what the-"
Matthew was disgusted after seeing him act that way , Asteria was also feeling uncomfortable by Rafael so she said while pushing his face with her small hands
"uut urr pace awae"
"ey uu is ee"
she said and pointed at Mathew
"Hmm ? He?"
Rafael asked and Asteria nodded in response
"He is your brothers closest friend "
Rafael said with a smile
'hah? Closest friend but I don't think he agrees to that'
She thought while looking at Matthew's face , his face gave one complete look with complete disbelief and disgust
" Your highness Rafael I don't think you should lie to your sister"
Mathew said sternly
"What do you mean, are you not my close friend"
Rafael said
"No you are not"
Matthew said abruptly
"Hey-"
Matthew ignored his ranting and bowed to Asteria and said
"Let me introduce myself properly princess , I'm Matthew Hercules, son of Duke Cale Hercules , it's a pleasure to meet you "
"Aice too eet uuu "
She said and thought
'wow although there is no hint of emotion in that face of his he's so beautiful and he's also so well mannered, and I also like that mole of his right under his eye , wow his eyes are also so pretty, maybe this world is full of beautiful people '
Asteria was constantly staring at him with sparkly eyes , Rafael noticed her staring at him and said
"Hey you handsome jerk , don't seduce my sister "
He then closed her eyes and hugged her
'hey hey put your hand away I can't see his face '
"Ey ey "
She struggled to break free
"I'm not and can't you see your sister struggling"
He said and took her away from Rafael arms and hugged her in his arms instead
"Are you ok princess "
He said while placing his hand on her back and making his grip slightly so that she won't fall down
"Eaa"
She said dumbstruck by his beauty
"Don't take my sister away "
Rafael said annoyed and tried to take her away
'ahh someone save me '
Asteria shouted in her mind
"You should go and rest princess "
Rafael couldn't take her as Mathew turned the other side and placed her on the floor
"Eaa ayy"
She said
"Damn you "
Rafael cursed at him , Asteria left them alone and went to her room
