The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

"Uhm ... should I clean up your villa, Sir?" asked Fae, breaking the silence after sitting for ten minutes doing nothing.

"No need. The housekeeper had already done the cleaning." Ren finally looked up from his book and stared at Fae. "Do you feel bad if you don't do anything?"

Fae nodded sheepishly. "I do, Sir."

"Hmm ..." The man seemed to think for a moment. "I don't need you to do things for me now. What do you usually do to entertain yourself?"

It was Fae's turn to think.

"Hmm .. I like to care for the plants and sing to them .." Finally, Fae answered. She then laughed shyly. "Ahh .. that's ridiculous. Please don't take it to heart."

Ren shook his head. "It's not ridiculous. On the terrace of this villa, there are lots of beautiful plants. You can take care of them. Later, when you get bored you can do other things as you please. Do you have any hobbies?"

"Oh .. I like reading, sometimes I would knit too. My grandma taught me how..." replied Fae. "But, of course, I'm here to work, not do my hobbies."

"Uhm ... you are my personal maid while at the resort. You will only help me do the things I need, whenever I ask you. But I am a busy person myself and I don't always have work for you. I hope when you are not needed, you will not bother me, and you can keep yourself busy. I don't mind if you do your hobby," said Ren again. He then turned to the stack of books beside him. "You can read one of my books if you really like reading ..."

He flipped through several titles and frowned. "Hmm .. sorry, apparently I only brought books in French."

"Oh, I speak French," said Fae casually.

Her words left Ren amazed. He did not expect this beautiful village girl to understand French. The colloquial language spoken in Moravia was German, and some people understood English, but it was rare to find anyone who could speak French in Moravia.

"You speak French?" the man asked in amazement. "Where did you learn it?"

Fae was pensive. She doesn't remember when or where she learned French. She only knew that she could speak the language. The girl could only shake her head weakly. "I do not remember..."

Ren looked more interested. "How come people learn a foreign language and can't remember when and how they learned it? Try reading this first page to me. I want to see if you really understand French."

He held up a book by Voltaire in French and handed it to Fae. The girl accepted it hesitantly and read the first page of the book, according to Ren's request.

French had a unique pronunciation. Only a person who truly understood the language would be able to read every word in the book properly.

Ren was amazed to hear Fae's words as she read the first page. Not only did the girl read it well, but her French sounded perfect without an accent. He gazed at the girl with an unmistakable look of admiration.

"Your French is perfect," he commented. "Have you lived in France before?"

Fae shrugged. "Uhm .. I don't remember."

"Why can't you remember?" asked Ren.

"Uhm .. I can't remember my past, Sir. I only remember the last three years of my life..." Fae replied quietly. Her face suddenly turned sad. "Uhmm .. four years ago, my parents and I were in an accident while going on a cruise. Both of my parents died, and I was in a coma for six months. I couldn't remember anything before the accident."

Ren now put his book aside and focused completely on Fae. He did not expect this girl to have such a sad past.

"Then how can you live in this village?" he asked attentively.

"The police called my grandparents and they brought me back here." Fae took a deep breath, trying to stop herself from crying when she thought of the bad experience. "I've lived in this village since then. I went to school here and learned new things and made friends with my schoolmates."

"Oh .. I'm sorry about your parents," said Ren sympathetically. "Do you know if you speak other languages?"

Fae shrugged. "I don't know. I just knew that I speak French, German, and English."

"Hmm .. very interesting. Apparently, you are not as simple as you seem," said Ren with a nod. He then waved and signaled for Fae to approach him. "Come here. Since you do speak French, please choose from any of these books if you want to read. Later, when I need your help, I'll ask you. Now, you can take care of the plants, read, or knit."

Fae smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Sir. I'll take care of the plants on the terrace then. When I've finished and want to read something, I'll borrow your book."

Fae bowed slightly and excused herself to take care of the beautiful plants on the villa terrace. She really liked them.

Ahh ... her heart was filled with warm feelings. She didn't expect that her first day working as Ren's personal maid would be such a joy.

Fae's mood turned sunny as she took the watering can and watered the flowers and potted plants. After that, she cleaned the dry leaves and cut off the stems that were not growing properly. She was so happy that, unknowingly, her lips began to hum a song.

Ren, who was solemnly reading, raised his face to the direction where the singing came from. A smile began to appear on his face. He loved Fae's singing, which made him sleep so well yesterday. This girl was undoubtedly blessed with a very beautiful voice!

For a moment, he was struck by how beautiful Fae looked in her dress under her autumn coat. The girl appeared much different now compared to yesterday when she was wearing a very ugly housekeeper uniform.

Ren secretly imagined how Fae would look like if she was given a beautiful dress like a princess in the palace. That girl must look like a goddess.

Unknowingly, Ren had been observing the girl who was busy tending the plant for ten minutes and he completely forgot about his book.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Heya... this is Missrealitybites, the author. Thank you sooo very much for picking up this book and reading this far. The book will be premium in a few more chapters, I think it's on chapter 78. That's why, I'm showering you with a mass release. 10 chapters to be exact ^.^

GOING PREMIUM & PRICING

Going premium means the book will be locked today at chapter 78 (five more chapters after this one). You can unlock the chapters with coins or fast passes. If you are new to the site, this is how the chapters will be priced:

200 words = 1 coin, and 1 coin is worth $0.02

So, the longer the chapters, the more coins needed to unlock them. For 1200 word-chapters, the price will be 6 coins, and 2000 word chapters are worth 10 coins, and so on.

Out of these coins, the author will only get 30%, minus 5% tax. The other 70% was divided between Google/Apple (as app store providers) and Web.no.vel.

HOW MUCH AN AUTHOR ACTUALLY EARNS?

An author gets around 25% of what their novels earn. From a chapter that costs 6 coins, only 2 coins will go to the author. It's not really much, considering 1 chapter takes 1-4 hours to write (depending on the author's health, inspiration, research, etc). But the more readers unlock the chapters using coins, the more money an author could make. So.. please open the locked chapters with coins if you wish to support me and this novel.

I really hope at least 100 readers could unlock the chapters every day.

If each chapter of this book gets 100 unlocks every day, that means I will get

200 x 2 coins x $0.02 =$4 per day or $120 in one month.

I know it's not enough to live, so I will have to publish more chapters, and that's fine. At least, if I knew you are invested and are willing to support this book, I would feel encouraged to write more and more and more.

In exchange for your support, I can promise you my dedication and hard work to see this book written until the end. I never drop a book in my life and I will not leave you hanging. I hope this book brings you joy as you read it and get you through the day, feeling happier.

FAST PASSES & OTHER SUPPORT

If you cannot afford to unlock the chapters with coins, and can only use fast passes, don't feel bad about it. I love you too! I know how it feels to be poor and crave books. I understand. I was there.

I pray that you will be blessed abundantly and someday you can have the luxury to support the content creators that you love. The universe is listening :).

You can also support this book by voting your power stone so it will go up in ranking and noticed by other readers, write your thoughts about the book in the comments or reviews, give me feedback, or anything at all. I'd love to hear from you.

Lastly, I would like to thank the silent readers who are reading this book. Even though you didn't say anything, I notice your support from your power stone votes and gifts. Thank you!
