(Hey..... Guys. What's up? ... Uh... STORY TIME!)

I had to admit, Nico looked pretty cute with bed hair. Not that he was cute! His hair.. Was.. Just cute. Gah, nevermind! I followed him downstairs, quite amused at how uncomfortable he looked with the amount of sun that was in the castle. I saw it as an improvement. His castle was quite lovely when you could actually see it. Was strange thing was Nico looking around like he's never been in his home before. He stared at the wall filled with portraits of previous rulers with amazement. That was my job. I'm the guest. I should be amazed by how beautiful this place is. He should be bragging. How weird.

When we arrived downstairs I noticed.. Something weird. It was a voice.. Two voices.. Speaking to each other. The only thing that was weird is that I recognized one of the voices. And it wasn't anyone in my family.

"You truly have a lovely home, Miss."

"Please. Just call me Hazel. I hate being kissed up to."

"Beautiful and humble. The best kind of women."

"Oh stop..."

Nico's expression hardened. He rushed down the staircase and into a hallway. There was the sound of.. Two girls screaming? What? That was a male voice before.

I hurried downstairs to see.. Frank? One of my guards? He was pressing himself against the wall, Nico in front of him with a dagger to his throat. Hazel was behind Nico, trying to pull him away. "Keep your lips to yourself," Nico hissed, his accent becoming clear as day. "Or I'll take them. And keep them." Holy shit, I'm blushing.

Frank nodded quickly, eyes the size of the moon. He was utterly terrified. And honestly.. I didn't know how to feel. Nico then pulled away, grabbing Hazel's arm and dragging her the rest of the way to the kitchen. I walked over to Frank who was gasping and clutching his heart. Poor guy.

"Frank? What on earth are you doing here?" I ended up startling him more, causing him to grab his sword and spin with it to my neck. He paled and quickly pulled away, sputtering apologizes. I reached out and placed my hand on his arm to get his attention. "Frank. Calm down. It's me. You know I would never to anything crazy over a mistake." Frank eased, nodding and chewing on his lip.

"I.. The king summoned me.. To give a message to our kingdom to calm them down," Frank finally managed to say after he recovered from two heart attacks in a row. I nodded, glancing to where Nico had dragged Hazel off to. "And you ran into the princess?" I wiggled my eyebrows, causing a blush to spread across Frank's face. He began to sputter nonsense and hide his red face with his hands. I chuckled, walking off to the kitchen.

Nico and Hazel were sitting next to each other, as usual, but Hazel seemed to be pouting. Nico no longer looked murderous and more ridiculous with a milk mustache. I walked over and sat in the chair across from Nico, earning a confused look from Hazel. I ignored her and ate. I still can't get over the fact that Frank was.. Flirting with her? I wasn't sure.
