I've gotten better and my fever was entirely gone. Now I was back outside and jumping around in the snow building a snowman and snow forts. I was having the greatest time of my life. Avia was making a huge snowball and Hilana was standing a little far's away but close enough to keep an eye on me. The guards were standing on duty and the other maids were inside working. 'It's boring with no one...That's the best thing I could ever ask for.' I excitedly digged in the snow to make room for my fort.

I got out of my snow fort and looked up to see a face and I instantly fell on my butt. 'That scared me. How did he get there without me hearing him?' Standing in front of me is a man I have never seen before but that ombre is looking fabulous on him. Wait dark purple-that color is ringing a bell. Oh, he's the guy I saw when I was sick. "Good to see your up and kicking princess." The man said. I smiled at him. 'Why do I get the feeling of evilness from you.' I had to wonder.

"Well, I'm not exactly a good man." He said. Huh, what? Did I hear wrong? 'Is this man physic like my father who somehow is also physic.' I looked at the man in a whole new light.
"Nah don't compare me to him I'm better than that kid in basically all ways." Ok did I just hear him degrade my father? I looked with wide eyes. 'Ok, this is getting confusing. Is he psychic or not.' The guy sighed and looked at me. "I can read your thought's dummy princess." He poked my forehead. 'Ok well, that's new. Oh boy, this is strange. Why does this feel like an invasion of privacy.' The guy laughed.

"Say want to do something fun?" I shrugged my shoulders and nodded my head. "Alright, then how about we get married." My eyes went wide like golf balls. 'What did you say?' I think I heard wrong. He got closer to me and whispered in my ear. "Let's get married." He looked at me with his gray eyes. I backed away from him and ran.

Apparently not looking in front of me results in me hitting something hard and falling on my butt. I looked to see my father. I got up and patted off the snow before tugging at his pant leg. He looked down at me with uninterested eyes. 'Please squat. I can't see if you don't squat.' He squatted and looked at me with almost dead-looking eyes. 'Geez, how bored can one man get.'

"Papa." I gave him my sweet childlike smile and he smirked. 'Oh no. Not again. Here we go again.' I heard nothing, not even a peep. My father was just staring at me. 'Well if you're not going to talk then I'll talk but it's going to be very bad.' I still can't talk fluently. "Papa wat's maried?" Oof that was an oof but not the worst. It could have gotten really bad but not the worst. My father tensed and hardened his look.

"Who told you that?" I pointed at the purpled-haired man. My father got up and pulled out his sword from nowhere. "Morium(1) you're dead." My father said as a matter of fact and started chasing Morium.

"Now, now Lyer don't you know you'll age faster if you don't relax more." Morium teased my father and that just fueled his thirst for wanting to kill the purple ombre man. 'Oh boy, this great. I'm loving it!" Morium then disappeared into thin air and I sensed a presence behind me. 'No way.' I turned my head around and yep he was behind me. This prick has some skill even I couldn't do that.

"Get away from her." My father said menacingly with his sword gripped tightly right beside him. It kinda looks like he wants to kill me and I can't blame him with all the stupid things I've done. I take that back I can totally blame him and I don't feel guilty for thinking so.

"You already have one. Why not give this one to me since you don't exactly need her." Morium hugged me from behind and my father raised his sword. Oh boy, he's going to kill me with this purple ombre but I'm not ready to die yet.

"Step away from the thing." I am still on the same level as a thing. I feel ever so offended by his comments. 'When shall I be promoted to being a human.' I let my thoughts wander off and at the same time watched those two one trying to kill the other.

"Lyer~ be a good boy and put away the sword." Morium was just edging my father on at this point. My father was going in for another strike until a soldier came rushing over and kneeled on one knee. "Your majesty I have a report regarding the eastern borders." My father lowered his sword and that thing disappeared into nowhere. 'Where does it go and how do I not see it go every time.' The soldier whispered the report to my father and my father just up and left. 'Look's like it was something serious maybe.'

I was so busy talking in my head to notice a certain somebody. I turned my head to see him staring at me. 'You really don't have anything better to do I'm guessing.' He shook his head. 'The marriage thing has to be a joke right." Morium let out a hum seeming to sort out his own thoughts as well.

"Well I mean it's not every day you get to talk to a princess that's actually coherent of the people around her. Also, you have a fountain of magic just waiting to explode, and last but not least. A beautiful princess." I feel as if the last one was totally unneeded. I looked at Morium with a blank face. How does this man just spew out words but he doesn't seem to be the type that lies? I could be wrong since I don't know how people really are. I'm not psychic

'I-I have no words for what you have just said. One thing I can confirm now is that I am not marrying. Not now and most likely not in the future. So it's better to get rid of that marriage idea early on.' Morium'f face fell into a sad puppy dog look.

"Is that so. It looks like even the princess rejects me. What use am I if I can't even obtain the love of my life. I might as well end myself and leave this pathetic place that we call home." Morium looked as if he was on the verge of tears. He's a very great actor and that scares me quite a bit. He's also very straightforward. That's not a good thing reason my father.

'Ok put aside the beautiful acting and let's get to some talking. So what is your profession and what's your relationship with my father? I mean from how two acted earlier I can tell your pretty close but there's something more to that isn't there." Morium grinned at me mischievously and damn does he look good when he's being mischievous. What's wrong with me. Why're the people here always so good-looking, it's not fair I wasn't born with any of that-actually that's probably some bull I made up. It could be my dislike for children.

"My profession is unknown unless you can tell me what my profession is princess. As for my relationship with Lyer-well that is a hush hush between the two of us. Anyways I have to go now. Have fun guessing princess and the next time we meet I hope you can accept my proposal for marriage." Morium got up walking away waving his hand at me.

'He answered absolutely nothing. I call so much bull. Why must you avoid everything, Why can't you just give me a proper answer? Like so far everybody has been so secretive with me but they also tease me by giving me some smidgets of the answer to my question and then leave it at that. This is what will get me killed, nobody giving me a straightforward answer.
"Princess it's time to go back." Hilana walked towards me and brushed away the snow on me. I hugged Hilana unwilling to let go. "There's some drucocoa being made. Let's go inside and have some." I nodded my head and Hilana grabbing my hand we both went back. Avia was near the door waiting for us.

"Princess hurry or else the drucocoa(2) will get cold!" Avia shouted. 'Avia thanks but whats drucocoa?! I have no clue! What is that?!' We went inside and Hilana helped me take off my coat, snow boots, gloves, scarf, and hat. I got changed into something drier and back out to my room with the new fireplace? 'When did they install a fireplace. I was for sure that we didn't have a fireplace before. Like we just used freaking heaters and that's it. I am getting shoved with so many surprises today.

I sat on the soft fur rug that was placed at least 2 feet away. 'I wanna say this is a safe distance but it's still a danger hazard. "Hold on Princess don't get to close." Hilana came over and put a metal grate over the fireplace. I can still see the fireplace but the gate can block the stray embers. 'Now this is child safe.' I looked around my room to find it a lot darker than I thought it would be but it's a nice thing to have a dark room just not too dark.

"Here princess a cup of drucocoa." Avia handed me the cup and the little me grabbed the big cup. I blew on it a few times cause a baby's tongue is very sensitive. I took a sip and I recognized what this was. 'It's hot chocolate with...mint? I taste a hint of mint after a chocolatey sip. I like it.' I started drinking the cup.

"Princess slow down or else you'll choke." Hilana warned me but this is just too good to stop.
"The chef will be happy to hear you like the drucocoa." Avia happily said and I nodded my head still drinking. I set down the cup once it was empty. Hilana wiped my mouth and I laid on the fur rug looking at the fireplace. 'So pretty.' With that being my last thought I closed my eyes going to sleep and unable to keep myself awake.
