You opened your eyes and found yourself in a huge bed. The sun was shining brightly into the room. Everything around the room was gorgeous and fancy looking. The room looked to be made for a princess. You pushed the covers aside and stood up from the bed.

When you stood up you heard voices outside of the door. A maid came bursting into the room. Her hair was long and it was a bright pink color. She bowed to you and brought you a dress and pushed you behind a changing curtain.

" Please dress my lady. You have a very important meeting today. "

You looked at the dress and you knew you were in a palace and you were the princess. The gown reached the floor and it was a deep red color with gold accents. The sleeves revealed your shoulders and they stretched to your elbows. You slipped the dress on and it fit your body perfectly. You found the shoes that the maid had set out for you and you stepped into them.

You looked at the mirror and saw your hair and make-up already done and you stepped out of the door and you were greeted by a man about to open the door. He jumped back and pulled his hand back with him.

" I'm sorry my lady. I was just coming to check on you for our meeting. "

" It's okay. "

" Your highness, you seem distressed. "

" What's your name? I'm sorry my memory has left me today. "

' I'll act like I know what I'm doing until it all changes. '

" Oh, I am Prince Hugh Windsor. I come from the Camin Empire. I have come to discuss the ball tomorrow night. "

" Oh? "

" Yes, your father contacted mine and asked if I would help you today. He said you were in distress and needed some time to relax and not worry about the party tomorrow. "

" What's special about the ball? "

" My you really do need to relax, you've allowed yourself to go crazy with the details. You've forgotten everything. "

" You're right. " I said agreeing with the prince.

" Tomorrow is your engagement ball. Tomorrow night you will find a prince that you deem fit to rule by your side. "

" Oh. "

" Yes, you've been very stressed these last few days about picking the right husband. You're more worried about the kingdom than yourself. "

" Oh. "

" Is that all you can say? " The prince teased.

You smiled at him and lightly hit his arm. He laughed with you and held out his arm to you. You looped your arm around his and he started walking away from your room. You traveled down the stairs, unaware of where you were heading or of where the dream wanderer was.

" Why did my father contact you, Prince Hugh? "

" I'm offended you can't remember your best friend. OR are you just teasing me? "

You understood who he was to you in this dream and you decided to play along with the story line. You turned your head away from him and stuck your nose in the air.

" I have no recollection. "

" I am hurt, my princess. And you know when we are together you can call me Hugh. "

" But you still call me princess. "

" Because that is my name for you. Just princess. "

You moved your head back to the front of you. You looked to where you were heading and saw a huge flower garden. It was filled with butterflies and flowers in many colors. You let go of Hugh's arm and walked to the flowers. You started smelling each of them and rubbing their petals.

Hugh watched you as you were looking at all of the flowers. He had a smile on his face. If you had turned around and paid attention you would have seen the look of love he had for you in his eyes. To him, he had known you for years, but to you, it was only a few minutes. He was sad about the engagement ball, but he was willing to let you go if you were happy.

Ji-Young on the other hand wasn't thrilled. He was looking down at you two with a glare in his eyes. In this dream, he was already a king the same age as Hugh. In this scenario, his parents died and he was now the king of Arenal. HIs royal advisor made him travel to your kingdom to try and win you over to be his wife and Queen.

He had blonde hair, and his skin was pale. His eyes were a bright blue and they were concentrated on your figure as you walked through the large garden. Hugh was following you and the two of you were messing around the garden. Ji-Young didn't like it, not one bit. Only in this scenario, he wasn't Ji-Young, he was King Albert and he wanted you as his Queen.

' You can try and have her boy, but she's mine. No matter what dream we're in. After that kiss I don't want to let her go, I will not lose her to some figment of her imagination. '
