The sunsets at last, and she found no wonderful blinding sight upon her eyes. Now everything sets on her mind.
Uy Scuti is no longer in the Eruhi Peak, and that she can no longer appreciate the dancing colors of pastel orange, pink, and violet across the horizon. Those colors gave her hope and motivated her to find a way that everyone would have the privilege to appraise the true nature of beach sunset.
She explores not wide enough to tell what Buoki Peak offers more, but she knows the sun never sets in this direction.
She strides towards the night market, glistening lights now slowly illuminating the whole Peak. They, too, are dancing lights trapped in a bulb. In her eyes, they are again new. A set of new scenery.
Being on a journey where she alone travels without any aid, she scratched her cheeks and slowly pinched herself; she overlooked to consider the place wherein she could stay for the night. She pouted. How could she forget that thing?
She looked around that it would not be a problem, though. The Buoki Peak is the most industrialized part of Mt. Kuila-ay-wey. So it wouldn't be hard for her to find an inn to stay, or if she's lucky enough, she could find a hotel to sleep in through the night.
Her action may be of the impulse of her youth, but she knew more than that. Her artsy self still craves for a comfortable bed to stumble in after all the hiding and running she had to do, passing the soldiers of Eruhi Peak a few hours ago. As long as she wanted to take out her mobile scroll, it's an innovative gadget used by each bug Axie or made available in the whole Lunacian Kingdom. She cannot. The Intellectual Council of Technology that lies in the heart of the Peak of Eruhi may find out she's down to the Buoki Peak and may end up being dragged back.
After all, she cannot afford to lose on this self-tasked mission. Not when she's enjoying her youth and slowly growing as an individual. Bug'N Inn She swiftly moved inside the regal-looking place. It wasn't as big as the manor she lived in on Eruhi Peak; the rooms may not be as grand as her room, but what more can she ask? If this place were a decent place to stay, she would be comfortable enough with a soft mattress. A receptionist greeted her in awe and creased her forehead. Like her, she possessed a bug signal that almost dangled upon her entrance.
*"Hi. What can I do for you?" *
The receptionist greeted all smiles. She faints a smile as a response; she can tell genuine or not but still, maybe after along-day work, the woman that stood in the reception may be at par with her exhaustion.
*"The coziest room please," *
She noticed the woman rolled her eyes upon her remark. She doesn't want any bad vibes, as far as she can, especially since she had a lot of planning of exploring the Peak tomorrow. She will continue to stay on the move tomorrow. She cannot stop. The Haruhi Council may have found out already, or her brothers. They will definitely get her, which she will not consent to.
*"How many days?" *
"Just for tonight, please."
She laid out her identification code and brought out the shards she took out from her vault. Good thing she always stored her daily portion of her share from the growth of the earnings she staked through the fund given her wealthy father. If she's not wise enough, she won't last any more days out in their abode. But look at her now.
She was taken aback when the woman Axie stared at her, mesmerized. She cleared her throat. If only she could fake her identity to roam around freely, she can't. She may be living by her title as a Rouge Princess from running away from home and diverting from her responsibilities in the council, but she cannot. She can't put herself into impending humiliation and cannot be exiled from Mt. Kuila-ay-wey. She still had one goal, and evidently, she couldn't be banned or deemed as fugitive.
If so, all of these acts will put her at a disadvantage.
"Please," The woman Axie just smiled at her once and gave her another QR code alongside her identification code.
"Room 10A, executive suite"
"Eh?"
She was asking herself. During travel, they do stay in hotels, but she never knew what these rooms are called. She didn't care in the past. Now she's got a lot of things to understand.
*"Enjoy your stay, Princess." *
Her smile twitched, but she managed to bid goodbye. How have these things never been taught in the academy?
She came across the portal to the 10th floor, and once she stepped into the hallway of her room for tonight, she knew for sure she'd get a good night's sleep. The room is spacious, she shrieked in Glee. The expense of her shards is indeed worthwhile for tonight. She ran towards the glass windows. It's overseeing the whole Peak, and the Peak down below, the Zuwie Peak.
Unlike this shining city, the houses below seem like they had fired as their light. There are too many differences among the peaks, making it look like the Peak belongs in various dimensions. She smiled at slowly went to the bath to take a shower and maybe relax. She felt her body tense; she was exhausted.
Being on rogue makes her feel there's an impending mission impossible for her to finish. She tasked herself and will not let any circumstance kill the fortitude that encourages her to move. A rogue princess, they may call her. Impulsive and opinionated. But she's more than the destructive perspective of those obnoxious elite Axies that are thrown at her.
Her parents would believe she's gifted, and by this time, they could have read her ran away note she put inside her father's study. Her mother would be remorseful; she would think she's not a good mother. Her father would feel worthless, that their only Princess ran away from home without them having to hear directly from her the plans she wanted to accomplish. Her brothers, on the other hand, would be on the move. Despite having a cat and dog relationship with them, they still consider her the Princess of the household after all.
A tear escaped her eyes.
She misses home.
She chastised herself. It was not the time to feel this way. She must stick with her plan. She has to become strong and independent. Her being a Rogue Princess is her front to achieve her ultimate plan. This is for Scuti's royal bloodline. And she mist saved her Mom first the bug society could kill her pure heart even more.
