The way to the Dining room was silent. I gulped when Celestiana giggled lightly. William nudged Tony and whispered something. Tony responded with a glare to which William laughed at.

"Seriously though, why were the two of you singing?" Celestiana asked barely containing a laugh.

Tony and I looked at each other and told each other 'You tell them'.

In the end, both of us refused to answer.

"Why aren't you answering?" Celstiana asked with a smile.

Tony sighed, "It's embarrassing."

William raised his eyebrow at his older brother, "Why would singing be embarrassing? Both of you have good voices."

I took a deep breath and looked in front of us, "It's not about our voices. It's about what we were singing."

"What were you singing?" Celestiana asked.

Tony coughed and pointed at the big doors, "We're here. Let's discuss this later."

Celestiana rolled her eyes but obliged and entered the room, William following her.

Tony cleared his throat and gestured inside the room, "After you."

I entered the dining room with Tony on my tail. I sat down on Celestiana's spot which was facing Tony.

Lunch began once the queen placed her napkin on her lap and we followed her. The food wasㅡas expectedㅡdelectable. And that was just the appetizer. When we went to the main course, I was almost full that I barely had space for dessert. Which reminds me, the dessert was the best food in today's meal.

After eating, Tony escorted me back to Celestiana's roomㅡI mean my roomㅡand sat down on the bed.

"So, how about let's start working on your Italian?" He suggested.

"Gladly." I said.

"Do you know any italian words?" He asked.

I paused to think, "Well, besides madre and padre, I know ti amo means I love you."

He nodded, "Correct."

"I also know Ciao." I stated.

"Those are simple words, if you ask me." He said.

I snickered, "Yeah. You don't need to rub it on my face."

He laughed, "Sorry."

I rolled my eyes at him but he was actually entertained at that.

He cleared his throat, "Well, let's start."

He taught me basic greetings and other italian stuff. He corrected me once I said something wrong. Sometimes he just laughs at my accent. He frustrated me but seeing me frustrated just fueled his entertainment.

"Before I forget, Celstiana also knows how to play the violin." He stated.

I groaned in frustration, "Why does she have to be so talented?"

He laughed at my misery, "Don't worry. I'll teach you. How about let's go to the music room?"

I nodded, "Let's go."

He offered his arm again and I put my hand on it as he escorted me to the music room.

The music room was gigantic. It had a piano in the middle and other instruments were carefully placed around it. Tony got two violins from the ground and gave me the other one. We removed it from it's casing.

"Do you know how to position it?" He asked.

I nodded, "Luckily, I'm not that much of an amateur once it comes to music. I can read music sheets."

He nodded, "It makes my job easier then."

I glared at him, "Are you implying that I'm hard to teach."

He laughed, "Not at all." He said and winked.

I rolled my eyes at him. I placed the violin on my shoulder and I leaned my chin on it.

Tony looked at me with a smile, "You look good holding a violin."

"Thank you," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes at him.

"Woah there. You don't get to roll your eyes at me, Miss." He said and smiled mischievously.

"And why not?" I asked.

"Because I am your great master and teacher." He replied proudly. "I know everything."

I smiled widely, "Well then Oh great master and teacher who claims to know everything. What is the age of my youngest brother?"

He was speechless, "Oh come on! I didn't even know that you have a brother!"

I laughed, "I have four brothers."

His eyes widened, "That's a lot."

"I'm the only girl." I stated.

As unvelievable as it is, his eyes widened more, "Really?!"

I nodded, "You don't know anything about me, but I know everything about you."

He raised his eyebrow, "Like what?"

I smiled, "Your favorite color is aquamarine. You have a younger brother who's name is William. Your parents are Eadlyn Schreave Koskinen and Eikko Patteri Koskinen. You are 18 years old. You can speak english, french, spanish, italian, german, and new asian. You can play the violin, piano, guitar, and harpsichord."

He snorted, "That's basic information. You don't know my personality."

"Well, after meeting you today, I can conclude that you are playful but serious when needed. You are a caring brother and son. You like singing. Honestly, before I met you today, I always thought that you were just handsome but I was horribly wrong. You're a good person."

He couldn't speak for a while but he smiled and talked after a few seconds, "Thanks for seeing me that way and for indirectly saying that I'm handsome."

Heat rised to my cheeks, "I didn't mean it like that!" I denied.

He laughed, "Whatever you say, Princess. Let's start the lesson shall we?"

He taught me the chords and how to properly hold my bow. He also corrected the way I held the violin and how my fingers were placed on it.

"How about let's take a little break?" He asked.

"Finally!" I exclaimed to which he laughed to.

He took me back to my room and I laid down on my bed.

"I'm so exhausted." I complained.

"I can see that." He said and sat on the bed.

"What time is it?" I asked.

He looked at his watch, "It's almost dinner time. Which reminds me, I have to go prepare for dinner now. I'll send your maids inside to prepare you. I'll meet you at dinner."

I nodded and waved at him before he left. Like what he said, the maids entered my room. They made me wear a new gown since the gown I was wearing before were stained with sweat.

After re-touching my make-up, I proceeded to the dining hall where only Tony and I weren't present. I sat down on my seat and started eating. Halfway through my meal, the doors of the dining hall opened and in came a late Thornton.

The queen scolded him for being late and he apologized. I finished eating together with Celestiana and both of us excused ourselves and went back to our rooms together.

"How's your first day in the palace?" Celestiana asked.

I paused to think, "It was . . . peachy."

She laughed, "What have you been doing all day?"

"Zeke has been teaching me some things." I replied.

She nodded and we walked in silence for a few moments but she broke it again, "Thank you again for agreeing."

I smiled, "Well, I didn't even know that I put my fingerprint in a contract. But it's okay. You're welcome."

She hugged me again, "You're nice."

I laughed and hugged her back, "I doubt that."

We said our goodbyes and headed to our rooms. The three maids from before entered my room with a curtsy.

"Hello, there." I greeted.

They nodded and approached me. They started taking off the pins from my hair and removed the gown. They slipped a night gown on me and left without a word. It was getting boring so I looked for a stationery to write to my family.

Dear family,

It is I, the great and powerful Haidee, bringing the latest news from the palace. Today was hectic and a lot happened.

Turns out I was to be wedded to Prince William as you know, but due to some circumstances, Princess Celestiana and I switched places. Now I have to act like her and she has to act like me.

Don't worry I'm fine here. Dear brothers, don't make mom and dad have more headaches. I'll send the palace guards to take you and put you to jail if you do. Kidding.

I miss you guys, hope I can see you. I love you.

Your favorite daughter,
Haidee

I went out of my room and saw a guard outside my door. I told him to give it to the post office to send to my family. He obliged without a word.

I crawled back to my bed and slept once I covered myself in the comfy blanket.

The next morning, the maids prepared the bath for me which smelled of lavander. They made me wear a day dress and some white heels. They curled my hair and made it into a half up half down hair style.

I went downstairs for breakfast. The queen wasn't there, probably discussing some things with the Prime minister, and so was the Prince consort. The only people there were Celestiana, Tony, and William.

"Good morning," I greeted and sat down on my chair.

They said their greetings too and continued eating.

"Haidee, come to my room after breakfast, I'll teach you." Celestiana reminded.

"Yeah I have not forgotten about it." I said.

After breakfast, I went to Celestiana's room where a guard was stationed outside. He bowed a little before opening the door for me.

"Let's get started, shall we?" She said once she sae me.

I nodded and approached her. The room was the same as before, nothing changed. At the side, I saw my backpack. I checked it and sighed out of relief once I saw everything still there.

"Don't worry, I haven't touched it." She said once she saw me checking the bag.

I nodded, "Thanks."

"Let's start with your posture." She stated.

I quickly fixed my posture. She inspected it with a smile.

"That's almost perfect, actually." She commented.

"Thanks, Zeke corrected it." I replied and laughed.

Her eyebrows rised, "Why did you laugh?"

"Oh I just remembered that moment. Do you remember Julian and Erika's song 'To be a princess'?" I asked.

She nodded.

I laughed more, "That's what we sang yesterday."

Then she burst out laughing, "So that's why it was embarrassing!"

"Don't tell him that I told you." I told her and she made an action which looked like she was zipping her lips.

"Let me correct some things." She said and fixed the way my feet were placed. She also put some books on top of my head. "Now, walk."

I walked carefully, trying not to make the books fall. When I mastered it, She made me hold a glass on each hand and balance on one foot.

"How is this related to walking?" I complained.

"You need to have balance." She replied nonchalantly.

After the balance lesson, she taught me how to properly hold a fork and a knife. She taught me how to pour tea properly. She taught me how to sit properly.

"Straighten your back." She commanded. "Don't lean on the chair, Haidee."

I groaned in frustration.

"Don't cross your legs."

The lessons went on the whole day and I was exhausted. The maids approached me once I opened the door to my room. They started preparing me for bed.

Soon enough, I was on the bed and was about to close my eyes when I heard a knock on the door.

"I'm sleeping!" I yelled.

The door opened and I saw Tony coming inside laughing, "I doubt sleeping people can respond."

I groaned, "I'm too tired today so tell me what you need to tell me."

"Sorry to disrupt your much needed sleep. But you didn't even come for dinner." He said and showed me a tray of food he was holding.

"I'm not hungry." I said.

"You should still eat. You'd need to be healthy." He said. "I'll keep you company while you eat."

I took the food he was holding and ate it against my will.

"You know, I think we should get to know each other better." He stated.

"Hmm? Why is that?" I asked.

"Well, you know, since we'd be together for like, the rest of our lives."

I paused eating and looked at him, "Point taken."

"So, since you know me and all, tell me about yourself."

"Well, my favorite color is lilac. I have four brothers like what I told you. My eldest brother is Austin, following him is Atlas. I'm the third. Xavier is fourth and Vince is last. My mother has a flower shop and I help her everyday. My father works as a mechanic together with Austin. Atlas is in med school. Xavier and Vince are still in school. I'm 17 years old. I wanted to try acting or modelling. I like designing clothes. I like things that are priceless. Things that was made by the person and not bought."

We spent the whole night talking to each other and getting to know ourselves.

The next few days, the same thing happened, my day was spent with Celestiana and my night with Tony. By now, I could speak French a lot better and I could finally play the violin. I learned it better thanks to Celestiana.

Dinner came and I went down to the Dining hall to eat. The tension around the hall was thick. The Queen looked troubled and the Prince Consort held her hand. Then she took a deep breath and looked at Tony.

"Zeke?" She called.
