Robbie's P.OV
Rosaline finally talked to me again.I wasn't glad at all.She kept saying that she was in love with the Prince of Xerxes.And the worse part was that she mentioned y/n helping her out with getting along with the Prince.
I was beyond confused,I was mad.Y/n,ever since she became princess,she was suddenly changing.She was no different from the rest of the noble people.I felt played.
I didn't know what got into me,but I didn't came home today.I went to the pub and I found myself drinking an awful beverage with the money I earned from the crops I sold at the market.Father would be so enraged.But I felt nothing.I was being consumed by the tingling scarce feeling flowing through my throat.
I kept on asking for dozens of rounds more from the bartender not knowing that I was getting a big worth of money short.It was almost midnight,I started to leave the pub even if I was feeling hazy.
"Hey kid,"called the brony bartender,"Pay up!"
I showed him my empty pockets and gave him an annoying smile.He grabbed me by the collar and yelled at me.Je threw me over the table and came to drag me out the pub.He would've just let me go...if I hadn't punched him straight to the jaw.
And so,a terrible fight came.These guys seem so influential.
At the end,I was dragged outside by a palace guard that stopped the fight.They were going to drag me to jail when they turned to a beautiful woman riding a white horse.
"Robbie!"So much for calling her beautiful,my vision is quite blurry.I could never be sure.She ran to me and gave me an embrace.
"Do I know you?"I asked with an unsteady voice.
"You're drunk,"she concluded.
"I swear to drunk,I'm not god,"I hiccuped.
She gave a sigh and then turned to the guards,"As princess,I command you to clear off his charges,whatever that is.And I would like to have your word that you would never tell anyone of my whereabouts...even if it was the King."
They were quiet for a while,but soon enough I felt them nod.I just laughed.
Instead,they took me home following the girl that lead the way.I was getting tired.
Once the door was opened,I could see everyone waiting for me.But first,they greeted the girl that brought me home.What was her name?Oh yeah,they called her y/n.I knew someone named y/n.Only she was prettier.And she's at the palace probably living the dream.
"Hello,everybody!"I greeted.
"Robert Andrew Kay!How dare you stay out late these hours?I've been looking for you!Where the heck did you go with the earnings today?"
"Relax,father.I just went to the pub to have fun,"I replied in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Why you-"
"Please,Ivan,"the girl cut him off,"He's not in the state of mind.And he's hurt.Let's just talk about this in the morning."
He calmed down.Mom just looked worriedly at me.And my sisters looked at me disappointingly.

Y/N's P.O.V.
It wasn't the sort of welcome I expected.But there's nothing I could do.It was a good thing I found him before he got to jail.
"Camilla,can you get me a towel and a basin of hot water?"Camilla complied immediately at my request,"Fiona,can you help me get him to his room."
By his,I meant Robert who had fallen asleep when his father was about to give him an earful.He is so dead tomorrow.Ivan also helped carry him,Stephanie was the one to put on the pot.
I took off Robbie's shirt,cleaning his upper body with the towel and hot water that I asked for.I never had seen him shirtless before.He was thin but he had a built body.I'm ashamed to confess that I liked what I was seeing.
Shoving my stupid thoughts away,I also cleaned his wounds on his face which I guess was murdered with punches.His left eye was purple and I was worried.I asked for ice and took care of him.
"What's a princess doing in my house?"he asked suddenly.I thought he was deep asleep.He was talking in a funny way,and I didn't think he would even remember any of this in the morning anyway so I answered.
"I just missed it here.That's all."
"What's your name,then?"he asked again.
"Y/n.Don't you remember me?"I chuckled.
"No,not really,"said Robbie,"But now that you mentioned it,I think I knew someone also named y/n.But you're prettier than her.She left just a month ago.Do you want me to tell you who she is?"
I snorted,"Okay,enlighten me.How come I'm prettier than her?"
"Oh,you're pretty,"he hiccuped,"But she's beautiful.Even if she had only ragged clothes,she was still the most beautiful in the whole kingdom."
"You think so?"I blushed.
"I know so.We were best friends,you know,"he claimed,"But she was always a sister to me in my father's eyes.That's why I could never ask for her hand even if I wanted to."
Ask for my hand?"Well,did you want to?"
"Of course,I did.But we could never be so I looked for someone else.Roseline was her name.I became obsessed with her for sometime.And eventually,I stopped.The only reason why I'm even after her is because I promised."
"Promised?"I asked,"To who?"
"Y/n,of course.I always kept my promises to her.But then,we had a fight before she left and I could never forgive myself after that.She had everything now,and I think she was mad at me so she helped Roseline to get to be with her dream guy.She wanted me to end up alone."
He had tears in his eyes.And I panicked at his words.They ringed with truth,I did help Rosaline but I didn't think it through that my urge of trying to help Rosaline would collide with what I was helping Robbie with,"That's not true.She would want you to be happy."
"How would you know?"
"Because she loves you very much,"I whispered,"Now,get some sleep.I'll see you in the morning."

Robbie's P.O.V.
I woke with a searing headache.And I smell like I swam in alcohol.
I couldn't remember what happened last night.Or how I got home.Or why my face stung like hell.
I went to the nearest mirror,which was just a shard from a whole lot bigger mirror taped on a post in my room.I was shocked to see that my face was bruised and there was a wound on the upper past of my eyebrow.I was confused so I went to the dining room to hope for some answers.
