The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

Students who were interested in what would happen soon formed a circle with Altair and Charles in the center. With enthusiasm, they paid close attention to what would happen.

"Okay ... you can start," said Altair in a cold voice. He did not care about the students around him, who were shouting encouragement or ridicule. Some female students seemed to shudder and cry when they realized what was about to happen.

"Vega ... hey ... let's go to the schoolyard!" Tatiana entered their class and called Vega. The girl was busy writing down some assignments in her book.

"What is wrong?" Vega asked without looking up from her book.

"Charles and Altair seem to be fighting again ... Come on, hurry up !!" said Tatiana, shaking her friend's shoulders.

"Altair won't be okay, really ..." Vega replied without looking remotely interested. She was still busy writing.

"But, this time, it looks like your brother won't fight back. I heard a rumor that Charles would force him to take three punches to punish him for what happened yesterday; otherwise, his father, who was a famous lawyer, would send Altair to jail."

"What? Really?" Vega looked surprised. She quickly closed her book, cleared her bag and hurried out of the classroom to the schoolyard.

When they arrived, Altair only received the first hit. The other students shouted in unison as Charles's fist struck Altair's cheek with all his might. Altair felt his left cheek with his right hand. His expression was calm. He did not want to be provoked by anger and hit Charles back.

"Hmmm ... that's one. You have one more chance," the young man said calmly.

"Ugh ... you're still so arrogant," Charles said, grinning. "Let's see if you can still talk after my next punch..."

He clenched his fist and prepared to beat Altair once more.

YAAASSHHH

Altair could see that Charles's fist this time was wielded with all his determination and hatred, directed at his nose. Even though he could endure the pain ... he was suddenly worried that Charles's fist would break his nose.

He would not be able to hide a broken nose from his father, Elios. Yikes...

"Hey!! You jerk!! Don't hit my brother!!!" Suddenly Vega's scream was heard, and at the same time, the girl had attacked Charles with a swift kick towards his waist ... just as Charles's fist almost touched Altair's nose.

In an instant, the situation changed. Charles suddenly lay on the ground with Vega's right foot stomping on his waist, and Altair stood frozen in his place, closing his eyes, ready to receive Charles's fist on his nose.

Everyone present was stunned to see what had just happened. It all happened so fast and was totally unexpected.

"Gosh ... are you all right?" Nicolae immediately rushed towards Vega, who was standing with one foot on Charles's waist while the boy was growling in pain. He quickly checked on his daughter to make sure the girl was okay.

As he appeared in the middle of the circle, all the girls in the crowd let out muffled shrieks in unison. They did not expect such a handsome and cool man appeared suddenly like a knight in shining armor, wanting to protect Vega.

"She's fine! I'm the one who's hurt ...!" Charles's voice cracked as he held back his anger. "Daaddd....! Please help me ..."

Ron Gilbert immediately helped his son get up and cursed the annoying little bitch who hurt his beloved son.

Vega, who had released her foot from Charles, immediately pulled Nicolae's hand and approached Altair. Her face looked astonished.

"Why don't you fight? If you didn't defend yourself, you would be injured ..." she said, checking Altair's cheek that looked reddish after being punched by Charles. "I will not care for you if you get hurt."

Altair just grinned and shook his head. "I am alright."

Ron Gilbert was really angry and immediately took his phone to contact the police station.

"You rascals, how dare you to hurt my son... You will pay for this," he said furiously.

Nicolae approached Ron and touched his shoulder. "Please, let's just end this here. I am begging you. If you want to continue with this problem, even though your son is at fault, you will also face the consequences."

Ron brushed off Nicolae's hand and kept talking on the phone. "Yes, good afternoon, Officer. I want to report an assault that occurred at George Washington High School. The address is at ..."

He proudly called the police and showed a threatening attitude in front of everyone. There were some whispers among the crowd when they saw what happened. Most people seemed sorry for Altair who would be arrested by the police. They knew, with his influence, Ron Gilbert would send him to jail for this fight.

"I'm sorry, Tatiana ... it seems like today I have to skip group work at your house ..." Vega complained as she heard the police siren from the distance. It's too late to avoid police involvement. Maybe they should settle things with Charles once and for all.

Ugh ... what should we do? If this escalated, Altair's and my disguise as regular people would be uncovered, Vega thought to herself.. She didn't like the possibility.
