"Umm.... Are you okay?" The youngest princess asked the boy who was in tears at the moment concerned on why he was crying. Of course it alarmed her at first as why there was a stranger in the palace balcony, she thought the boy was a thief at first that was until she saw his face with tears. She was sure he wasn't one, she also have a weird feeling of comfort when she saw him.

Jimin turned around when he heard a voice familiar to him. It was the princess who spends her time with him every morning to keep him company, but of course she didn't know that. Jimin quickly bowed down at her noticing the tears that was flowing down his cheeks wiping them with his sleeve. "I'm okay your highness, I'm sorry for staying here I should probably go-"

The princess held his right wrist making the boy stop his rambling. She then smiled at him telling him that it was okay, then she pulls him to the small table there at the balcony to sit with her. Jimin was a little bit confused at the action of the princess but didn't question her about it. When they sat down he began rambling again, concerned on why would the princess willingly invite a stranger to sit with her. "You highness you shouldn't just invite me to sit with you, what if I was a bad guy I could've harmed you-"

He stopped once again when he saw the princess giggling. "I don't think a bad guy would remind me about that" She said her smile widening. Now she was really sure the boy wouldn't cause her any harm. Sighing softly she adverted her gaze to the night sky, the look on her face turned into a bitter one. Then she continued smiling a bit "And honestly I dont think my family would mind me gone..."

What she said made the boy frown, he knows that she was disliked by the people in the kingdom as well as her family as she keeps on ranting on him about it when they meet during the day. But he doesn't want her to think that way, jimin wanted the princess to be happy. As much as jimin wanted to hug the princess right now to comfort her, he can't, the princess doesn't know that the swan she called her friend was him. And he couldn't tell her about it he knows he can't, Who would believe him anyways? A boy that turned into swan? He was the lost prince? People wouldn't believe him. The boy just looked back at the princess still frowning.

"You shouldn't think like that your highness, this wouldn't mean that much but honestly I think I would mind it if something happened to you" He replied. Jimin can see the happiness in the eyes of the princess when he said that although she didn't show it to him. It still made him happy that the princess trust him.

"Right-" she said facing him smiling again. "I'm Charlotte, what's yours?"

"Jimin, your highness" he replied.

"So how about you stop calling me that and we become friends Jimin?" Charlotte said giggling at him a bit. He replied in a heartbeat.

"I'd love that you- ehem... Charlie" smiling back at the once lonely princess.

The next day, at the Eastern kingdom the servants of the palace are preparing for the departure of the king to the Northern Kingdom. He didn't know it but his father just announced that he would be staying there for a week... This made jungkook annoyed at his father but he knew he can't do anything about it now so he just started preparing himself for the departure as well. Once finished he headed to the front gate where the carriage he was going to travel with was waiting. There he saw his mother and Taehyung waiting for him, he approached his mother first kissing her on the cheek as a sign of goodbye. Then the king's counselor and him went inside the carriage and started traveling to their destination.

"So what's your plan once we arrived kook?" The latter asked.

"I don't know Tae. But I do know this is going to be a hell of a week" He replied sighing closing his eyes, trying to get some sleep before the arrived.

Oh how wrong he was for thinking that.

It was almost lunch time when they arrived at the Northern kingdom. People gathered at the main road where the king's carriage arrived, some waving at him at his window from afar others were cheering at the sides of the road. They were cheering and rejoycing for the engagement of the two feeling happy that their favourite princess was getting married to a fine king like him. Jungkook wasn't feeling the same way as them though, and Taehyung knows it just by looking at the young king's face. He wanted to laugh at the sour look on the face of jungkook but decided not to as he felt bad for the king as well.

Taehyung knows that jungkook is a romantic, he knows that the king wants to marry someone that he fell in love with. Damn those books jungkook was reading ever since he was little! That rarely happens anyway and considering he was the heir Taehyung was aware that there's only a little chance that those fairytale stories could come true like what the king wanted.

Both of them snapped back to reality as their carriage stopped moving, the king's counselor peeked at the small window at the door admiring the palace in front of them. He admitted that the Northern Kingdoms palace was beautiful but it was not as beautiful and big as theirs. Both the king and the other went out of their carriage as the coachman opened the door. There in front of them standing the whole family of the Langdon's. But the king's attention wasn't on all of them but one. There she was smiling at looking so innocent on the outside. She was his fiance or that's what his father wanted her to be.

The girl with two faces he called her.
