I looked at him. He was looking at me. We looked at each other. A silence settled in the room, before I backed up and started running like crazy towards my room.

– Ruby! Immediately exclaimed this deep and masculine voice, while I tried as much as possible to get ahead.

He is mad, but mad my word! Nobody will share my bed, oh no, and it certainly won't be him!

I rushed to jump the stairs, as I heard him calling me. Out of breath, I finally arrived in my quarters. I threw myself into my room, grabbed his suitcases and threw them violently down the hall.

Broom the babysitter!

I saw him in the distance, striding closer, frowning, as I threw his last black suitcase on the floor. I slammed the door abruptly, locked it and let myself slide against it, dead tired. Now I was puffing like a charming ox, my brown hair falling over my face.

- Open me Ruby! He exclaimed, before I decided to get up.

– Open up? Surely you don't know me, sir. I'm very very stubborn, they say. Good night my beloved babysitter! "I exclaimed, later falling back on my bed.

The knocks redoubled against the door, Esteban obviously not being ready to let go of the matter. Tenacious man, tenacious.

- All my things are inside, damn it! They are hung in the wardrobes! He continued to bray like a little calf, making me let out a sigh.

– Stop screaming like a calf oh la la; they arrive your business!

My impulsiveness suddenly seemed to take hold of me, as a wonderful idea just popped into my mind.

Will I dare? Of course, I love doing stupid things.

Oh... Ruby you're a genius from genius... Perfect.

A triumphant smile came to stretch my lips, before I headed for my balcony. Of course, the knocks on the door still continued to echo. Leaning against the railing, I let out a deep sigh of happiness before...

Oops then. How clumsy I am... His things had suddenly escaped me and fallen from three floors, then landed... in the grass.

That you're clumsy Ruby, it's not good...

I then returned normally to my room, strangely relieved of a certain weight. I feel much better now; It's awesome !

– Ruby! Open up to me or I won't hesitate to break down the door! Mr. Grumpy yelled again, as I took off my shoes.

- Your clothes are on the first floor, good night my dear Esteban! I declared all smiles, heading for the bathroom afterwards.

Take. The beast finally stopped bellowing. What happiness! My smile widened further, realizing that I had indeed won this little game.

Babysitter: zero.

Ruby: one.

After taking a good shower, I came back to settle in my bed. Strangely the noises had not returned and I was still curious to know what he was doing. Finally not too much either, do not exaggerate... Still thinking about this man against my will, I decided to grab my computer and look for some information on him.

I immediately entered his name in the search bar and a few minutes later, I realized... in my turn that I had been fooled. And very well, I could admit it. Oh the liar. Oh the player.

"I manage papers here and there." He said simply, shrugging his shoulders

Hey... He made fun of me, the cheat. Babysitter yes, that's right.

Esteban Monero: Prince of Spain; he is very well known for his many strategies and his many successful deals. Much loved, the people of Spain have a deep respect for him...

Ah anyway. I quickly began to document myself more about him, but... my mouse slid strangely towards certain images. Hmm, I see. I grabbed a packet of crisps lying around, letting the photos slide. I later decided to change platforms, suddenly arriving on a site solely devoted to this royal family of Spain.

I suddenly stopped eating. My heart sank and my appetite suddenly left me. My God... is this a joke. But what is this article that is already seventeen years old...

"King Alfonso Monero, King of Spain was arrested last night, around two o'clock in the morning. Indeed the police would have arrived at his home after receiving a panicked call from his wife Adelia Monero. The whole truth has finally come out. burst into the open. Behind these tender looks, these many smiles... hid in reality a tyrannical king. Its dark sides finally came to light.

His wife's report revealed to the people that behind this appearance, this man would have beaten his wife and his only son, Esteban Monero for many years..."

I kept reading this article, completely shocked. My heart was accelerating constantly, while I felt a certain sadness invade me. My God. How is it possible. This man beat his wife. He beat his child. Esteban...

He and his mother went through horrible things... How could this man do this...

I almost abruptly closed my computer, my heart stirred by several emotions that almost made me nauseous. I closed my eyes for a moment, breathing heavily, still in shock from this article. It's terrible, there are no words to describe it. I let out a sigh, rubbing my face with my hands.

I don't even have the words to describe it anymore. This man dared to beat his son. Beat his wife. Beat his family. And the worst part of it all is that this terrible thing lasted for many long years.

I decided to go to bed, much too upset by what I had just learned.

Curiosity is a bad thing, Ruby...
