Your POV

"Promise not to laugh, ok?" I said making a space between us.

I felt he took my hand and pulled me closer to him "I promise, just tell me please." He said.

I held his hand tightly "Well, it all started with me and my stupid idea." I said looking at the ground.

I didn't want to face him. I was too ashamed I guess, after all, it was indeed my fault.

"We were happy together. I swear! I just thought it was too perfect that it can be applied to others. ." I said still looking at the ground.

I felt Ichabod's delicate hand swift under my chin and force me to look at him "Hey, look at me. Didn't I promise I won't judge you?" He asked with that sweet soft smile of his. 

I can't help but smile either. He have the power to make someone smile, I wonder why did he wanted to escape his hometown. I nod as we continue to walk but this time I have my head held up, knowing no one will ever judge me this time.

"Like I said, I thought. It was just a thought, ok? I didn't know it would lead me to this." I said pointing our situation. "I was too naive to think like that." I said looking up on the sky as I heard him laugh softly.

"Funny, because it was a bit naive. But at the same time, didn't you really think that maybe you just felt something bad, that's why you left?" He asked.

I look at him, is he making any sense? My brows knitted not knowing what he meant. Our eyes met together and he smiled.

"What do you mean?" I asked wanting to know what does he really meant.

"You don't really do?" He asked back as I answered a firm shake of my head.

He stop smiling for awhile as he also stop on his tracks "You don't understand, can't you?" He asked again.

I shake my head looking back at him. He held me on my shoulders, it might sound bad, but why does his hands feels delicate in almost every action he does? He was looking at my eyes searching for something. I don't know what he was looking for but I was looking at his own orbs either.

"Well, I'm not sure about your whatever was it suppose to be, but if you don't know why did you say that to this boyfriend of yours. . Then, you'll know it soon" He said his eyes setting on my own. No longer searching for something. Maybe he didn't found it.

I nod, I can't seem to say anything, after all he might be right, he might be not. 

"What are you trying to imply though?" I asked as we continue on the road.

He shake his head, no longer talking about what he just said. "Come on! I want to know!" I said pulling through his sleeve. 

He just chuckled and said "I think it's time for my explanation."

I stop pulling and nod "I think so, I wanted to know your side too." I said now walking normal beside him.

. . .

I was shock. I thought it was all a make up whatever he was saying last night. I didn't thought that he was really indeed a prince. 

Ichabod  Olander was a real time prince. The eldest of all his siblings. He was suppose to be married last night, but because he didn't want to get married at his age; he run away. And now he was willing to escape the town instead of marry some girl he didn't even know who was it.

"Wait, wait. So you're suppose to be a married man last night?" I asked stopping us both so I could understand more.

"Yes, but again because I didn't want to get married on someone I don't even know. I run away. More like a run away groom." He said before adding "And the bride must be thankful because I gave her a chance to escape this stupid arrange marriage." He finish.

My mouth was open after hearing that. I understand his side, but what about the girl's side? "Did you even think, that maybe the girl was nice or something?" I asked walking again.

"Well, they said she was nice, but I was thinking that maybe she doesn't really deserve to be my wife. I don't think she's going to have nice life with me, I'm not a husband material after all." He said as I look at him.

He was handsome, I can tell, but maybe there was really something else I didn't know that made him say that. He caught me staring at him and he tapped me on my temple. It hurts that immediately look away. 

"Ok, that hurts." I said massaging my temple.

He smiled "You were staring." He said.

"I was trying to find out about why did you said that you weren't a husband material." I said rolling my eyes.

He sighed, I feel like he was a bit annoyed by me. I wasn't really doing anything to him. "You won't understand." He said.

"Then you won't understand me either. You know, about me finding my boyfriend." I said.

He sigh looking down on the ground. I don't know what he was think but he look at me and smiled. Goodness, he looked beautiful at that. But I promise myself no more relationships, because I need to focus on finding Howl. 

. . .

After a few more hours of walking and a few rides because Ichabod got tired. Ugh, princes and their habits of being lazy. We got into our next stop. I hand Ichabod his hood, because he might be recognized by the neighbouring town, but he drop the hood and told me to put it back in the bag. I tilted my head, Why? Well, because he got confident out of sudden.

"What is wrong with you? They might know who you are." I whispered as we enter the town.

He chuckled "Lets test it." He said holding my hand as we both walk around the town. It was filled with many people at this time. Like there was a festival. Oh no, enough festival please. I want to rest for now.

I want to focus on finding Howl, I have my break. So, it's time I give my time to Him.
