☆ Aeris's Pov ☆

"Then he had the audacity to put the blame on his imaginary friend," Alvira ranted,chewing on her bread roll aggressively.

Picture this: The head maid sends you to sleep once again despite waking up at noon because you are apparently hallucinating  about a guy named 'Sunoo' after reading way too many books and are now speaking absolute 'nonsense'.

So you go to bed angry and wake up angry. So to cheer yourself up,you decide to have a dinner date with your friend in the pretty garden. But now your previously joyful friend also came back again angry for some reason.

Now, both of you are angry and hungry

That's what happened to me

"And this Beomgyu guy was nowhere to be found?," I asked with a look of disbelief after Alvira finished her rant.

If he was going to lie, why not make up a believable one?

Kai pushing him on to the painting is a more believable excuse

But not for the last part

HOW DARE HE RUIN HER PAINTING

MY BABY PUT HER HEART AND SOUL INTO IT

And to think, I was shipping them

"I am pretty sure by wanting to 'fix' it,the only thing left was for him to wash it in the stream," Alvira rolled her eyes in frustration.

But now the main question

"Did you ruin his painting in return?," I asked, making her eyes widen in realization.

"Bitch, I forgot" She replied unfortunately, looking down at the grass below.

"YOU should have thrown his painting into the stream or at least draw scribbles all over it!" I expressed my disappointment, slamming my hands on the table, earning looks from the guards who were  standing near the garden door.

"I'll do it next time. Wait, no! I am never painting with him again!" Alvira declared, holding her butter knife in the air.

"Put that down"

"Yes, mother"

☆ Soobin's Pov ☆

"My Prince! Wake up! You are needed in the meeting hall immediately!" Eunchae, my assistant said, slamming my door open early in the morning.

"Be the crowned prince" They said.

"It'll be 'fun' " They said.

"Five more minutes," I mumbled,going back under my blanket, only for it to get snatched away by Eunchae.

"The world is going to end if we wait for five more minutes, Your Highness!" exclaimed Eunchae dramatically as I sat up in my bed, looking at her run around in panic.

"What even happened? An apocalypse? Are zombies attacking the citizens as we speak?," I asked in a mocking tone.

"No"

"Good night then," I clutched my pillow and went back to sleep.

"Stop reading those books and wake up!" yelled Eunchae, trying to pull my pillow away from me.

"Go away" I whined, fighting for my pillow back when the door suddenly opened and Yeonjun showed out of nowhere.

"Yah! Choi Soobin!Get your ass down in the meeting hall!" He yelled, going into my closet.

I can't even sleep peacefully in this household

No wonder, Yeonjun abandoned his duties

Maybe, I should too

What should I rebel about?

Maybe, the lack of sleep!

Why do people keep barging in?

"Thank you for your very colourful choice of words, Prince Yeonjun!" said Eunchae, finally yanking the pillow away from me.

It's okay

I have more

I extended my hand towards the pillow on my right only for it to be snatched by Eunchae again.

"No"

"Get dressed and be downstairs in ten minutes," Yeonjun threw the clothes he selected at me and left.

"Ten minutes? But what about breakfast?," I looked at Eunchae who took a glance at me and then at the clock.

"Sir, it's noon"

"Brunch?"

"I'll wait outside. Get ready quickly," said Eunchae, pretending like she didn't hear what I just said, leaving the room taking my blanket and pillows along her.
