~Mikayla's POV~

I was stucked in the palace for three whole weeks and I swear the days go by way too slowly.

"You look like a kid wanting to go out and play." Ivan laughed.

"I can't help it!" I say frowning.

"Well, do you want to explore the castle?" Ivan suggested.

"Sure." I say with a shrug.

We were at an elevator, it was old and creaky, probably build a long time ago.

"I love this, it looks so ancient." I gushed.

"Why do you like something like this," he says gesturing to the elevator,"it looks super old and broken down."

"Geez, you must have failed all of your history classes." I say rolling my eyes."This must have build in the mid 90's, I bet it has tons of history beneath it."

"Okay, okay, Wikipedia." Ivan laughed.

"This is called common knowledge." I huffed.

Ivan stucked out his tongue at me and we both bursts out laughing.

Ding. The elevator announced that we had arrived at our destination. Floor 8.

Ivan was spinning the keys while we walked side by side, our fingers sometimes brushed together, sending a chill down my spine.

Stop,why am I feeling like this? Gosh,what the hell is wrong with me?

"We're here." Ivan says pushing the keys into the keyhole, it opened with a horrible screeching sound.

A gust of dust flew in our way and we quickly ducked back. It took a few seconds to dispersed and we cautiously walked inside.

It looked abandoned, cobwebs hanging from the wall, windows shut tightly, dust pilled on top of the table.

"Hmm, is there anything valuable in here?" I asked curiously.

"Money,no. Memories, yes. Ivan replied stiffly.

My mind wavered, but I can't seem to remember anything withheld memories in here.

"Be careful, there's a lot--," he was cut off when I stumbled forward, my feet tangled with a bunch of wires. He turned around but was quickly pushed onto the ground.

Without warning,our lips connected and both our eyes widened.

His lips are so soft, wait what?

I pulled away in a jolt and felt my cheeks burning, I stood up and haul Ivan to his feet.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see the wires." I say ducking my head.

"Err, it's o-okay." Ivan stuttered. But when I look up, his cheeks were as red as mine.

"Um, let's go find the so call precious thing?" I said awkwardly and Ivan nodded silently.

He walked next to me and latched his fingers around mine. I smiled at his genorisity.

Ivan lifted a latch off the crate and it revealed a photo frame with all the princes including me. I was about six and all of them were older than me. Sieg was hugging me from behind me, Hayden was holding my hand and Ivan on the other. The other princes was holding flowers while looking at the camera with charming smiles.

"Oh wow, I totally forgotten about this." I say with a grin.

"Me too, I just happen to remember it today." Ivan replies.

"Let's go email to the other princes,yeah? I bet they will be shocked that we found it." I say happily and Ivan smiles. I was happy the awkwardness from before had dissapeared but I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss, what did it meant to me? Why did I enjoyed it so much?

"Of course, but won't his lover prince try to stop her?"

"Your important to her, how can she reject?"

"True, she's freaking dumb anyway, by the way give me a pistol."

"Here ya go,hey,catch!"

"What is this?"

"A stringe. Just creep from behind and stab her,and she'll pass out, and then we'll get her ready to ship to Dres Van."

"Heh, this makes it so much easier."
