Chapitre 10

Tyler Virtanen’s POV

I was standing at the mansion before I was getting into the car as I saw my grandpa was looking at me by the window of his throne room. I was smiling at him before I waved goodbye.

He did not wave back.

What can I say? That man was a cold-hearted man. He just thinks about profit and nothing else. Sometimes I think he was a robot that was built by my real Grandpa that wanted to get out of taking care of us.

3 of us, Kai, my brother, Chris, my cousin, and me.

I sighed before I was looking at the mansion that I have been calling home when I started to stay with my grandpa when I was 5 years old. After the accident that took our parents away. And this is the first time that I will be out in the open, as someone that might be following the rules of society for once.

I leaned back in the car seat as I was closing my eyes before I was putting the earphone on. I was listening to Mozart to calm myself as I was going to the journey that was dreadful for me. But I was determined to win so, that’s that.

A few moments later, I felt the car stopped as I was looking at the restaurant that was crowded with men of all ages. I think this is the place for the competition. But why a restaurant? I was nodding at the chauffeur before I was getting out of the car with a backpack. I don’t bring much as I wanted to be a commoner as possible.

“Well, this is something else,” I mumbled as the car sped away from me and I was walking toward the restaurant before someone was coming to block my way. I was taking in his appearance.

Tall, lean body.

Brunette hair.

Tan skin.

And when he turned around to look his surrounding, his eyes were caramel, like melted chocolate. I blinked a few times before I smirked. He was looking at the guy that was fighting over to get inside the restaurant.

And I think this tourist did not know anything that was happening right now.

“Hey, what’s going on?” He asked in English before I was looking behind me. He might be talking to me so I replied to him because I am model citizen this time around.

“There is an announcement that you can get free meals at this establishment,” I said as I was crossing my hands over my chest as I was looking at the dumb people that tried to get admitted. I must say, they were hilarious and funny to watch.

“Aren’t you want to get that free meal as well?” He asked me again. I looked at him with amusement.

“Why? Are you interested?” I asked him before he shrugged. Then he winced as he was looking at some guy was knocking each other out.

“I’m hungry but not that hungry,” he said as I was chuckling at him. He crossed his hands in front of his chest before I smirked.

“Well, best luck to you if you want to get some free meals. I heard there’s more of that coming once they got in,”

“Got in what? The restaurant?” He asked as I was chuckling at her. Then I was patting his shoulder as I was walking away from the crowd. I don’t think that I would like to be in this mess.

But your inheritance.

I sighed before I was making another plan of getting inside the restaurant. I was walking at the back of the alley before I was running into someone that I did not expect at all.

After I met the stranger that was trying to ask me about what was going on with the restaurant that was out of control, I know exactly what was going on. It was one of the stupid contests that royalty was NEVER done before.

Keyword: NEVER.

I mean, what was Princess Katherine was thinking? Probably none. I was supposed to be one of the people that we're pushing to get inside the restaurant. I get it, living luxuriously with my future bride who happened to be a Finnish princess.

Well, not my style.

I was an adventurer. I can never be in one place and marriage was not for me, I can assure you that. And so, I went out of the way since my father asked me to be a part of this shit. I will not comply with his sake anymore.
