Hi, everyone!
So sorry for not updating these past few days. I was really busy with school.
Here comes the new chapter!

Still confused, Ara walks along the hallway. She is not very sure where the kitchen is but she is somewhat certain that if she keeps on walking around, she will reach the kitchen.
"Ah, where is the kitchen? If I do not get the breakfast, the Princess is going to be unhappy!" After quite a while, Ara is getting frustrated.
She has been walking and walking but this ship is really big that it feels like a maze. Just when she is about to give up, she smells food from a room in the corner. Logically, if she follows the smell of food, she will get to the kitchen. So that is exactly what Ara does.
Standing in front of the closed door of that room in the corner, she is sure that she can smell fried eggs.
"Excuse me!" she says.
But nobody answers.
"Excuse me? Is this the kitchen? I'm Princess Intan's new lady in waiting. I am here to get her breakfast!" Ara opens the door as she speaks.
Behind that closed door, a young man is sitting on his bed...shirtless.
"AAAAHH!" Both Ara and the random guy scream.
"Ah! I am so sorry! I did not see anything I promise!" Ara quickly steps back and closes the door.
"Hey, you! Where do you think you're going?!" shouts the naked guy.
Ara's heart is pounding really hard as she stands with her back leaning on the closed door.
'What was that? A man? With no shirt on? What the..?' Ara's brain cannot seem to find the frequency to comprehend what just happened.
Suddenly the door swung open and Ara instantly falls to the ground, butt first.
"For the heaven sake of the kingdom of dragons!" Ara curses nonsense as the pain starts creeping in her bottom.
"You again?! I thought you left! How dare you still standing here!" The guy that was naked, now wearing a shirt, looks down at Ara.
Like, literally looking down at her because she is laying on the floor.
"You can at least say sorry! Rude much!" Ara springs back up because she cannot stand the idea of being embarrassed any further.
"Don't you think you're the one owing me an apology?" the guy asks back while smirking.
"Why should I apologize to you?" Ara challenges him back.
"Well..First of all. You barged into my room without knocking."
"I did say 'Excuse me', you know?"
He lifts his forefinger up to silence her.
"Second of all, you saw me without a shirt."
"Well.. Well.. I did not mean that! it's not like I want to see your pale body!" Her face turns bright red because the picture of the shirtless guy comes back to her imagination.
"What did you say? Pale? Excuse me! This is called golden tan!"
"Ah, you're right. It's golden tan if you see it using a straw from the Eiffel Tower! Ah wait! Eiffel tower does not exist anymore!" Ara has completely loses her cool and shouts at him.
"How dare you shout at me you...you peasant!!" The guy grabs Ara's shoulders and swings her body so hard that her back hits a wall.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Aplogize!" He demands.
"No! You apologize! You're hurting me!" Ara refuses to budge.
"You little..."
"Hey, Chahaya! What are you doing with a maid?" another male's voice breaks the unbearable tension between Ara and Prince Chahaya.
