I didn't even notice that things happened already and I am about to go to the northern kingdom.

I changed my clothes into a formal peach ribbon-tie dress with a cloak.

I am currently standing in the point of transfer and everyone is waving goodbye to me.

I remembered Prince Zean hugging me tight, Princess Adelaide kissing my cheek, Luisa kissing my hand and Roelia with Hilary hugged me tightly.

I smiled at them.

I will have to leave them on the hands of the traitor but I know as long as I do what they want, they won't hurt them.

I will come back with our home, Luisa.

Vi looks at me like he knows what is happening but I just smiled at him and he nods.

We have to fight on our own.

But for now, I will have to face the enemy.

I will destroy them with my own hands.

Both of these kingdoms that treats the south like a toy.

As the blue light appears I held my luggage tight.

And when I opened my eyes, I saw someone familiar... or not.

"Welcome to the North Kingdom, Princess Lorainne Emersyn Superio Luoie, the rose of the West Kingdom."

A long line of butlers, knights and maids bow to me.

I am in the vestibule of the castle and I can see two men walking towards me.

They are both silver haired with electric blue eyes.

The old man is obviously the King and the Prince... he looks like someone.

"Welcome to our humble castle, Princess."

The King took my hand and kissed it while the Prince bowed down.

"This is the heir to the throne, Prince Tris Cassiel La Estella, your fiance."

Sharp eyes blue eyes.

His hairstyle...

He looks like Ren but he's more handsome because of his hair and eye color.

He didn't even smiled at me.

He just stands there beside the King.

Is he a statue?

Or maybe he got fascinated with my beauty that he can't move a muscle?

I curtsy and brings out the brightest and warmest smile I can while looking at him, "I am honored to be in your presence, Prince Tris Cassiel La Estella and Your Majesty, the King that owns the widest lands."

Now, are you going to smile?

No. He didn't move still.

He just stares at me coldly.

The King smiled at me but he won't.

If only I can kill them in a flash.

But I will feel bad killing these beautiful men, if only they didn't steal things from people.

"Are we done? I wish to have my rest, Your Majesty."

The Prince turned around and started walking even though the King didn't even gave him the permission.

"Please excuse my son's rudeness, Princess."

The King's voice suddenly felt like he's stabbing people with the sharp and cold tone.

Everyone seemed to freeze in fear and I just stand there watching the Prince turn around and walk back to us.

"I am sorry, Your Highness. Please forget what I said, I would love to spend time with you. Rest can wait."

He smiled but you can clearly see that it's fake and he's forcing his lips.

The King looks at him and then went on his way, "I will have to attend things, please let the Prince show you around."

The people started going back to their places as well.

The maids took my things and now I am alone with this arrogant Prince.

He's just standing there looking at me coldly.

"What do you want to do? The castle is big and you will get tired going around tonight. The wind is cold outside, you might freeze to death if you wish to see the garden."

Just tell me that you don't like me.

And I will scream at your face how I want you dead now.

I just smiled at him, "Then, why don't you show me where my room is, Prince Tris Cassi-"

"Tris. Just call me Tris. You have the permission. I don't want people calling my whole name. It's irritating."

I just maintained my smile as he start to walk.

No one except a King or Queen can call a royalty's first name or use a nickname for you unless you gave them permission.

I followed him and just like the West's palace, there is a touch of blue everywhere.

He didn't even speak but somehow the way towards my room is very entertaining.

There is this hall full of the paintings of the previous Kings.

And a hall where there are different kinds of flowers in vases.

But I stopped at the wide glass window.

You can see the stars clearly and the town from there.

The lights are very vibrant and since the way's light is turned off, you can clearly see the different lights.

I can feel the light cold breeze from outside and I started rubbing my hands.

"If you feel cold, you should hurry and go to your room."

His eyes, the light from the moon lightened up his blue eyes.

I never seen such cold beautiful eyes before.

It resembles the sketch of Ren.

His hair even makes his cold stare seem colder.

I might freeze while looking at him.

No I am already frozen while staring at him.

"What are you staring at? I have to wake up early tomorrow. Hurry up."

I suddenly woke up from reality, this guy is arrogant.

How can he be beautiful?

I hurriedly followed him and until I got to my room, he never spoke.

Not even a 'good night.'

I took a warm bath and as I lay in my bed I know that my enemies are planning already how to eradicate me when they have gathered enough information while I don't even know where to start.

I closed my eyes but I only saw his cold blue eyes.

How did I end up here again?

Oh, yeah.

I died.

And I wonder if I will die here as well.

"Your majesty, Father, may I know the reason why we had to greet her last night?"

I am preparing for my public coronation today.

I woke up early and the moment I opened my eyes maids have gathered around me, excited to "dress me up" for today.

I wasn't even able to see her for today.

I wonder if she's sick?

She didn't come yesterday and I even waited for her.

'Irie, where could you be?'

I don't know where she lives.

I promised myself that I will just be her friend but somehow, I began feeling weird.

Father is standing in front of me, criticizing everything that might be wrong in my appearance.

His hand is touching his chin as he think deeply while staring at my clothes.

"Well, I was curious. I thought they meant Princess Adelaide but they sent a different Princess. Someone who they just found. Also, only people with high status got to see her. Isn't it interesting ?"

He smiled, still staring at my clothes.

"Yes," I just answered.

I don't want to ask few more questions since he is a type who doesn't like questions about his actions.

Even that day...

He never explained why he betrayed South Kingdom and killed his childhood friends.

"My, don't you look dashing today, Prince?"

Michael, my personal knight and friend commented.

I just look at him annoyed.

He knows I hate compliments that are too obvious, I mean...

I am gorgeous as hell.

No one ever looked away from my handsome face.

But she, that Princess Bug, she smiled at me like an idiot.

No one smiled at me because their amazed face is all over the place.

They just look at me in awe.

And imagine if someone in awe smiled.

Wide eyes, wide smile, isn't that horrendous?

Yet she maintained that smile like, 'I have to smile at them or else I will look like I don't care which I really am.'

I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes.

"You still don't want to have your coronation?"

The King looked at me angrily.

"No, I was just thinking about something annoying."

I tried to smile at him but it didn't work.

My father and Michael are the only ones who can resist my smile.

All the other people felt blessed in the room when I smiled, especially the maids.

"And that is the coronation."

He turned around, ready to leave the room.

'Thank goodness.'

I really don't like being a prince.

I don't like the power.

Ever since I never saw the Princess of the south, a name I forgot due to some reason that I can't even understand.

I never wanted to be a prince if I can't see my princess.

And that is a result of my father's action.

She was not announced yet since she's only 9, and she's supposed to go with me on my coronation as my partner but before that even happened, their kingdom fell down in the hands of my kingdom.

I didn't tell my father about her.

No one knew about her.

But she's gone now.

Every member of the De Fenuelle family were killed.

And that is the reason I didn't do my public coronation on my 10th birthday.

And now, I have no choice but to do it or else the people will disown me and that will be a great disaster to the King if the heir of the crown is unaccepted by its own people.

"You have no choice, better wear that exhausting smile of yours while you walk around and never show tiredness. Only attend the Princess and be sure not to interact with other ladies or she will be embarrassed."

He left with that angry expression.

This is the fault of the Princess Bug.

If she didn't popped in my head, my father wouldn't be like this.

Though I was the one who thought of her.

I just sighed as the maids look at me like, of course, I am the most handsome Prince you'll ever see.

Irie's lucky to have my photos in her phone, though I don't look like me in my appearance in those photos, I am still gorgeous in them.

I am going to be accompanied by Michael, with other knights, some butlers and maids for the Princess and of course, that bug.

I went out of the room.

The royal blue rose gem is attached on my blaze, I can feel it on my chest so I look at it and moved it a little.

I didn't notice that the people around me bowed and I just stopped since they did in the middle of the hallway.

"What is it?"

I thought it's father but I was wrong.

I look straight and saw her.

'Princess Bug.'

She's smiling at me then she curtsied.

Why does she have to smile?

I hate it.

It looks like she's mocking me.

If Irie or that Princess smiled at me, I will feel blessed that there are ladies who look like goddesses.

But she looks like a demon.

Even though she's beautiful, that can't blind me.

I know she accepted to be engaged to me because I am going to be the King and of course, because I am handsome.

Every woman is like that.

I just look at her with no emotion.

She didn't even flinched and continued smiling.

The people around seemed to be in awe with her beauty.

I got more irritated because I have to compete with this woman for the people's attention.

I started walking and she's still in her position, I didn't tell her to rise and her maids are starting to get nervous for her.

If I will not tell her to rise, she won't.

And if she did without my permission, she's going to disrespect me and that of course can put her to prison.

I smirked while I pass by her.

Her smile didn't vanished.

I want to make her suffer but I can feel Michael's eyes.

If I will ever do this today, the coronation won't happen.

"Rise," I said.

I can feel her stand and her maids held her, "Princess..."

I looked back and saw her losing her balance for a while.

Her legs might've went numb.

"Aren't you being childish right now, Prince?"

Michael tapped my shoulders and squeezed it.

He's right.

Since she got here, which is yesterday, I am acting and thinking childish.

I don't normally approach people I hate this way.

I just play with them until I can pierce my sword through their dirty bodies.

But I can't do it to this Princess, war will happen if I did that.

"Princess, please do walk beside the Prince until the public coronation is done."

Michael went to her and held her hand until she's beside me.

I look at him sharply.

He didn't even look at me, but I can see his eyes stuck in the Princess.

Even my knight is stolen by this bug.

"I am honored to stand beside the Prince," she smiled at me.

I hate that face.

I started walking and I did it a bit faster.

Yet she didn't say anything, she walked with the same pace.

If I slow down, she too will.

If I walk faster, she will also walk fast.

I wonder if she'll run if I run?

'No, what am I thinking. I am really being unreasonable today.'

"Prince, bring your sword just in case something happened."

We are at the palace's gates.

Michael handed me the sword and I took it.

I am really acting like a child whenever it's about the Princess.

I kill.

I command.

But most importantly, I never forgive anyone who acts according to their likes.

Yet here I am.

I wish Irie's the one with me.

There are a lot of people outside waiting for me to announce my presence.

Michael and the other knights are alert.

There are at least fifteen behind us and three in front, which includes Michael.

I saw the maids trying to cover the bug with umbrella but she refused.

Now that I look at her, she's not that fair for a Princess.

Her skin's like Irie's.

Maybe it's because she's only found to be a Princess yesterday.

She might've lived a life like Irie.

I hope I can see her in the crowd, though I know she's not interested in me, the Prince.

When everyone's in their position, the gates opened.

Princess bug is beside me with her usual smile.

It's cloudy so it's fine for her not to be covered.

I am supposed to hold hand but I don't want to.

As the gates opened, I judged my feelings.

The people might think that I am against this engagement if I don't hold her.

I slowly folded my hand, "Here, hold me. They might think I am against this engagement if we are not acting close."

Even though I'm looking straight, I can see her smiling face as she put her arms around mine.

'She's so small.'

I know she's wearing high heels right now but she still looks like a kid.

We waved at the people with the smile in our face.

And everyone's hearts are captured twice.

By my face and by her smile.

They already love her.

I don't know why no one's suspicious of her.

She just became a princess yesterday!

There are rose petals falling in the air as the royal palace's aircars shower it where we are walking.

I saw the bug look up and is amazed by the aircar.

These vehicles can only be used and seen when there is a very important event or transportation by the palace.

If Irie saw this, she will have the same expression.

She's always curious about technology so I bought her a phone.

Sometimes she still forgets that she has one and leaves it in her basket.

And... yeah, no one greeted me happy birthday.

We stopped for a while to rest, I sat under a parasol while drinking water.

Princess bug entered a bakery, 'Is she hungry?'

Her maids and a knight is with her so there won't be any problem.

Or so I thought.

When they got out, the maids and even the knight are eating bread.

My eyebrows flinched, 'What the hell is she thinking?'

She's buying from a public bakery.

What if it's unhealthy?

Oh, wait, Irie used to buy one from that bakery and we ate the bread together.

I sighed.

"Are you tired, your highness?"

Michael asks and guess what's in his hand, bread!

Princess bug suddenly appeared like a bug she is, and is handling me a bread with that smile, but as a royalty, I will refuse.

And it's because she's the one giving me that.

What if she put love potion?

Women are scary when they want something.

And who wouldn't want me?

If she's Irie, I will accept it without any thought.

Even if the King's watching me.

"No, thank you."

I refused and stand.

She still didn't even sit.

She went to the people and is having talks and somehow, she's good at it.

Most commoners will brush her off or even tell her things that she might find disrespectful.

But the people loved talking to her.
