Two days passed in a flash, and Maria was still nowhere to be found. After she left that day, nobody saw her; naturally, the others couldn't continue the sparring matches, it was canceled.
Alex couldn't stay he searched for her but was unable to locate her, it was as if she had vanished from the city. He even asked for the girls' help, but together they were still unable to find Maria. Not even Silveria managed to locate her.
Tonight the moon was more beautiful than usual for those in the mood to enjoy it.
Funnily today was lovers' day; it was like valentine's day on Earth. Unfortunately, Alex was not in the mood to enjoy this day because he could not find his lover. At the same time, he might have gone out with Artemia; he chose not to because by doing something like that without taking care of his problem with Maria, he couldn't afford to get distracted.
It was his first real dispute; he thought everything would always be fine between him and his lovers, something impossible, dispute is normal between a couple, no it is normal between human being, a relationship without dispute is not something that exists in the universe. To right thing to do is to overcome your differences to grow stronger to make your relationship everlasting.
Alex's previous relationships could be resumed in a few words; I'm rich; you want my money and want your cunt. It was a give and take relationship, no string attached.
After returning from his fruitless search, Alex decided to visit the princess; he headed to Artemia's room. He knocked, but nobody responded; he did twice but still nothing, sighing. Alex opened the door and walked in. At the beginning of the universe, there was only chaos. Chaos gave birth to a world, accumulating into Black and White and the five elements (also known as the Origin Elements), creating the world's laws and the order of heaven and earth.
This world was called the Origin world, where the Original beings born out of chaos reigned. They created orders, creatures, and numerous worlds where they reigned as Supreme beings until a calamity befell them and destroyed the Original world alongside numerous worlds.
Two billion years have passed since then. In a small world, a baby was born carrying an unusual past.
He felt a presence inside the bathroom; Artemia must be taking a bath. Alex decided to play a prank on her.
''Eretria, I'm back. What are you doing?"
''It's nothing you need to make a fuss about. I've just finished my bath." As she said this, an indistinct figure began to emerge.
"You just finished your bath?" Alex asked while acting surprised.
"Is that any of your business?" The princess said with a snort. Despite her words, her voice carried a hint of playfulness.
Alex frowned. Something seemed off about her. Maybe she knew I'm faking it? Alex wondered, but he was not in the mood to continue further as the indistinct figure slowly emerged from the steam blanketing the room, and his eyes went wide.
Artemia had casually draped a nightgown over herself. Even though it wasn't transparent, it made the faint outlines of her curves even more enchanting.
Her long blue hair, slightly damp, casually flowed down her back, causing most of her nightgown to grow wet and stick to her body. Even from a distance away, he could make out her gorgeous curves.
She was like a hibiscus flower blooming beside a clear spring—a natural beautiful creation.
These words appeared in Alex's mind, but he quickly tossed them out. How could she be a mere hibiscus? Only a peony or a rose could describe how stunning this woman was.
The nightgown clung to her body, exposing her delicate feet underneath. Her toes seemed cute and lovely, her calves were straight and fine, and her well-proportioned thighs were also vaguely visible…
"Have you seen enough?" Artemia said in her playful voice.
''No, I can still keep watching for three lifetimes.'' Alex declared absentminded.
Artemia froze; although Alex's line sounds cheesy, it carried an undisputed charm that made the princess's heart beat wildly. She was lost for words.
Not knowing that those words he had casually said tugged a few strings of the princess's heart, Alex sat on her bed while looking at her.
Finally, the princess came to her sense; she chuckled and sat beside Alex while suggesting he use her thighs, something Alex was happy to oblige.
''You didn't find her?" Artemia asked while combing Alex's hair which had grown past his shoulders. He calmly nodded.
''We searched everywhere, but we are still unable to find where Maria is. I'm afraid.''
''What are you afraid of?" Artemia asked while she continued to take care of her man's hair.
''I'm afraid that she would be left just like that,'' Alex told the princess his biggest fear.
''Pfft! Hahahaha!" Artemia couldn't help herself back and began laughing.
Alex sighed, thinking that his worries may sound hilarious to Artemia; it was why she was laughing, but it was not really the case. The reason why the princess was laughing was because Alex acted like someone who could not be easily afraid, but in his first dispute, he lost all confidence and turned into a child afraid of being abandoned. The current Alex compared to the normal Alex, the change was too much which shocked the princess, the shock turned into an amusement, and she laughed.
''Can you stop laughing now?" Alex asked and pinched Artemia's waist.
''Ouch! I get it, so stop pinching me. It hurts.'' Artemia pleaded, and Alex stopped after pinching her one last time.
''Ah! Forgive me. You were so funny that I could not stop myself from laughing. I have never thought you would be this scared. To think the all-mighty Black Prince was this fragile when it comes to romantic stuff. How funny.''
Alex glared at Artemia, who was still making fun of him; the latter chuckled.
''Okay, let's stop and stop seriously. I promise not to laugh again..'' Artemia declared while fighting against a smile.
