Ellis: Ahhh! I fell asleep on the sofa.
Adalyn: I'm not surprised. You didn't even have dinner last night.
Ellis: I was too tired.
I slowly sat up on the sofa.
Adalyn: I told you not to sleep on the sofa.
Ellis: What time is it anyway?
Adalyn: It's 7:48 am.
Ellis: I'm going to be late for university today.
I quickly got up and got ready.
Adalyn: Do you want breakfast?
Ellis: I don't have time, Mom.
I took a local bus to get to the university.
Elliot Ellis's POV
Muriel: Ellis!!!
Ellis: What??
Muriel: Our finance professor has retired!!
Ellis: Ah? Who will teach us Finance?
Muriel: You are not happy?
Ellis: Yes but worried also.
Muriel: Oh come on best friend, you hated him.
Ellis: I sure did.
Muriel: Coffee?
Ellis: Why not?
(University ended)
Muriel: You are going home?
Ellis: Hmmm. 
At the Mansion
Ellis *whispers *: Why did Lady Lucy summon us all here?
Ariana: Like I know.
Lucy: Today I have summoned you all to tell you that my beloved son Noah is returning home after a very long time so I want this Mansion to be perfect. Understood? Now Hustle.
Lady Lucy went inside of her room.
Head house-maid: Let me distribute the chores At first, Ellis you will clean the prince's room with the help of Clara. (Distributing other maid's chores). Now work!
Clara: let's begin.
Clara opened the door of the prince's room.
Ellis: Oh my Lord! For how many decades has this room been locked?
Clara; Let me count............. ! almost 10 years
Ellis: The prince is returning after 10 years?
Clara: Yeah.. Let's begin then.
Half an hour later.
Ellis: This room is quite big compared to the princess's.
Clara:  After all he is the heir of the throne.
Ellis: Have you ever seen him?
Clara: No. The head housemaid only saw him when he was a child.
Ellis: She is quite old.
Clara: That's quite right.
We both laughed.
Clara was a good company. I enjoyed her company. In the afternoon,
Ellis: Done!
Clara: I will sleep when I get home, what are you planning to do when you get home?
Ellis: Well I have 4 assignments that I need to submit tomorrow.
Clara: Rest In Peace girl.
I give her a little smile before saying my goodbyes.
Ellis: I am home Mom.
Adalyn: Welcome home dear. How was your day darling?
Ellis: Prince is coming home after 10 years so I had to clean his room with Clara.
Adalyn: That must be hard.
Ellis: Clara helped a lot so it was not as much.
Adalyn: Get fresh, dinner is on the table.
Ellis: What did you cook?
Adalyn: Your favorite.
Ellis: Oh mom I love you!!
Adalyn: I love you too.
After dinner
I need to be strong I have to do 4 assignments now........I will die!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next day,
Adalyn: Wake upp!! 
Ellis: Ahhh!!
Adalyn: Do you have a problem with the bed?
Ellis: no (laughing) why?
Adalyn: You sleep on the sofa or your study table.
Ellis: I had 4 assignments. I slept at  3:56 am or something... Last night 4 big cars entered the mansion at 2 am.
Adalyn: I heard that the prince is a big-shot businessman, it must be him.
Ellis: I think it's him also.
Adalyn: I think you should go to university.
I went to the university after breakfast.
Muriel: Ellis how are you??
Ellis: Good what about you?
Muriel: Fine. Our first lecture is on Finance.
Ellis: And there is no professor of finance.
Muriel: Free class.
Ellis: nice.
The bell rang, and we sat on the chairs of the classroom.
A man enters the room.
Noah: Hello. From now on I will be your Finance lecturer. You can call me Professor or Professor Noah... 
He opened some slides.
Noah: Someone stand up and tell me which chapter are you on?........Nobody? Faith stand up and tell me.
Faith: We are on chapter 3.
Muriel *whispers*: How did he call Princess Faith "Faith"?
Ellis: Because he is the prince.
Muriel: What?
Ellis: Hmm
Muriel: He has been missing for decades.
Ellis: He was not missing; he went abroad to study.
Muriel: For real?..
As I looked up at the board, I could feel my cheeks flush as our eyes met. Something about his gaze made me feel like he could see right through me. His brown eyes were intense, yet warm at the same time. I quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed for getting caught staring.

The lecture ended.
