Chapter 628 - Six Hundred And Twenty-eight: Jasmine Was Missing

The third point of view:

Surprisingly, people paid more attention to Akim than Jasmine even though she was the one dressed in the eye-catching superwoman suit.

It was a bit disturbing for Akim, to be honest. Most of the time people who stared at him, did so with ambition and infatuation, but these ones? They - both young and older women - looked at him as if he was a meal to be eaten.

Akim shivered, maybe it wouldn't be too late to go back home now. At home, he was secured - and caged. A bird in a golden cage.

No, he worked so hard to get out of the palace. Akim refused to sacrifice his freedom because of a little fear. So he forged ahead, ignoring their blatant stares.

"People are staring," Jasmine finally noticed..

"Don't worry, they don't know we're royals," Hopefully.

Jasmine giggled at him, "I mean at you,"

"Oh," Akim understood, scratching the back of his head.

"They must not have seen a handsome guy like you," She said.

"Then they must be blind, there are more handsome men out there," Akim replied.

Jasmine gave him a knowing look, then said, "Since we're here, why don't you take the chance to talk to a girl without your princely prestige,"

Akim went beet red, "H-how?" He was in disbelief, "How do you know all this? You're just six, you shouldn't know this bad stuffs,"

"Bad stuff?" She gave him a dirty look.

"Well. A-hem," He cleared his throat, "I'm not saying that you shouldn't know but..." Akim didn't know what to say and that was made worse by Jasmine's intent stare.

"Forget I ever said that," He said instead and turned to face the crowd.

Right now, a group of dancers were performing and wowing the crowd with a set of synchronized acrobatics moves. However, to Akim, those moves were mediocre compared to the ones performed in the palace, however, this one was more enjoyable.

Perhaps, it was in the way the people clapped and cheered each time they did a flip, or the smiles and lively glint in their eyes. Above all, the happiness was so infectious that Akim got carried away by the performance and clapped for them at the end of the show.

"Wasn't that spectacular...?" Akim trailed off when he discovered that Jasmine was no longer by his side.

His heart dropped at once, "Jasmine? Jasmine? Jasmine?!" He shouted amid the crowd and some of them turned to look at him.

Akim's heart began to pound hard in his chest. How could that be possible? Jasmine was just by his side minutes ago. How could he have gotten carried away?

He looked around the square, there were thousands of people moving to and fro and Jasmine could be trapped amongst them, looking for him as well. How and where was he going to start looking?

But then, a lot of negative thoughts crept into his mind, what if Jasmine was kidnapped. What if the rebels sighted them and instead of killing them right away, resorted to kidnapping Jasmine to make his parents suffer and kill her off eventually?

"Oh my God!" Akim groaned, pulling tight at his strand. What was he going to do? What would he tell his parents? His mother had warned him sternly about the outside and yet he stubbornly, resorted to his own tactics.

Akim was having a panic attack yet he didn't care, everything was all his fault. He couldn't dare to think of the heartbreak and disappointment on his parent's faces - especially his mother - when he shared this news.

He brought out the phone in his pocket, at war on what to do. The sooner he called his parents, the earlier the better but he couldn't. Once his parents knew of the incident, they would surely know his secret route. But it's your sister that's missing! It's Jasmine!

Pedro threw his head back once more in frustration, hot tears on the tip of his lashes. He then turned to the side and there, as if God answered his prayers, he saw it, his sister being dragged away by someone. And no, his eyes were not playing tricks on him. It was indeed his sister, her royal highness, Jasmine, in her superwoman suit.

Hope surfaced in him while his heart began to pound loudly as he quickly went after that kidnapper.

It was a brisk walk at first, but the next, Akim broke into a sprint as he chased after the person who was still dragging his sister to God knows where - probably to hide her.

Soon, he caught up to them and grabbed the kidnapper by the arm, forcefully turning her to him only to discover it was a girl - a young girl to be precise.

"What the hell?!" The girl said as Akim grabbed her roughly.

"I should be the one asking that after you took my sister!" his anger only rose as he couldn't believe that such an innocent-looking face would have the heart to kidnap his sister.

"Brother?!" Jasmine hugged his waist at once.

"He's your brother?!" The strange girl looked at him with distaste, "Didn't you say he was handsome and well-mannered?"

But Akim looked between the both of them in confusion, "What's going on here?" he couldn't understand anymore. It almost seemed like the kidnapper and his sister were best friends.

Jasmine explained immediately, "I can't really tell, brother, but all I knew was that while I was looking around with you, someone bumped into me and the next thing I knew, I was shoved far away from you by this swarm of people. By the time I could move out of the crowd, I couldn't find you! "

She took a deep breath and continued, "Do you know how terrifying that was?!"Jasmine cried out, "I didn't know the way and I couldn't recognize anyone from the crowd. I was so alone and afraid. But that was until she found me," She gestured to the strange girl.

Akim felt a sense of shame wash over him, to think that he had been rude and rough with the girl who rescued his sister. His parents didn't raise him that well, they would surely scold him if they knew of this incident.

If only he knew…
