Falling For Miss Captain : LOVE Vs DUTY Chapter 8
Advertisement
By the time Prince Felix reached the Shine Hotel, it was only 10:30 a.m. He glanced at his watch and realized that there was still thirty minutes left. Then he let out a light chuckle.
As a future King of Edeladon, his entire life was filled with meeting people. But no other meeting could made him excited to this extent!
Though a minute felt like a day for him, he was willing to be the one who did the waiting, if it was for that woman who suddenly entered his life in the least expected time.
He was so eager to the point where he felt time pass so slowly at the exact day. But he somehow regret for coming so early. Time pass by so slow that it was a complete torture for him, especially for his heart!
Why won't his heart be still today? The rapid thumping of his heart would be able to drive him crazy!
Will she, too, be excited to meet him again? He really hoped so. But may be he was wrong.
Ten, twenty, thirty minutes had passed and it was time for their meeting. But the woman in question was nowhere to be seen.
Felix thought that she might be caught up with something; so he waited again. With each minute passes, his hope was fading bit by bit. His eagerness was slowly replaced by anxiousness.
By the time the clock struck 12, all his hopes were gone.
He hurried to the hotel room where Yelena stayed. As he nervously keeps on glancing the floor number displayed on the elevator, he realized that he was more than afraid to lose her! He thought that he simply liked her; but he was wrong.
He could barely catch his breath when he reached Yelena's hotel room; but all he saw was a hotel worker who cleaned up the room.

She was not there.
What shocked Felix the most was the fact that all her belongings were gone too. He stood dazed, not knowing what to do.
"How can I help you, Sir?" The hotel worker approached him and asked him politely.
Felix's eyes swept around the empty room. "Where is the woman who stay here?" His voice was full of anxiousness.
"She checked out in the morning."
The hotel worker's response was like a thunder struck for Felix! He tried his best to look calm but it was like impossible.
"Did you know why? Or did she leave any message?" Felix asked with a last glint of hope.
"I'm afraid not, Sir. But she seemed to board a plane."
Felix could feel his heart crumbled! How could this happen? They agreed to meet up and exchange their phone numbers; but now she's gone.
Did something happen to her?
Or was she just playing with him? But he didn't think so. Much more like he refused to believe it.
He hold a grip of himself and stepped out of the room as he take out his phone and make a call.
"Look at the information of all the flights that depart today morning and see if there is a passenger named Macy." He ended the call right away. Then he stormed out of the hotel like a ferocious beast determined to hunt down his prey.

1 Hour Later
"Your Highness, I checked all the passengers information as you ordered, but..." Cayden trailed off as he examined his Prince's reaction. The latter sit still in his hotel room with a stoic expression.
The anxious man before was gone and in his place was a determined man who would stop at nothing to hunt down the woman whom he thought was playing with his feelings.

"Carry on." Prince Felix responded.
"There was no passenger named Macy." Cayden finished his words. The Prince calm demeanor made him anxious.
He was already at the Prince's side for quite a long time and he knew him too well. The more calm he was, the more unpredictable he became! He always put up a friendly attitude but once provoked, he could become your worst nightmare!
"Then there are only two possibilities. She never board a plane or..." Prince Felix shifted his gaze to his right hand man and a malicious smile plastered his handsome face. "Her name was never Macy."
"Are you saying she gave you the wrong name?" Cayden asked with his eyes grew wide open.
"It's no big deal. I did the same." Prince Felix calmly replied. "But tracking her down with these wrong information will be a challenging task. Almost impossible."
"Then what will you do?"
"I won't give up." Felix scanned all the business files piling up next to him. "Reschedule all my meetings. We will leave for Silveren earlier than planned."
"Yes, Your Highness. When will we leave?" Cayden asked curiously.
"Tomorrow afternoon. Reschedule all my meetings before then. I don't care if I have to attend meetings after meetings without a break. I just want it done as soon as possible." Felix instructed.
After Cayden leave to comply with his orders, Felix was all alone in his huge hotel room. The beautiful smile of Yelena lingered on his imagination.
He was so eager to track her down. But one thing bothered him. Her name was fake; but what if her country also turned out to be fake? Will he be able to find her then?
Throughout his life, he was always a man with confidence. If he was determined to do something, he would always achieve it. But somehow this woman made his confidence wavered. He even feel scared!
Maybe that woman was too good at lying. But how could he possibly complain? He too, did the same.
'I don't care who you are or what your name is. Just wait for a while. I'll find you no matter what. Then when that time comes, it will be your turn to give me an explanation.'

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
