Royal Love |Iwaoi, Kuroken, Bokuaka, Tsukiyama |

Chapter Three: Online Friends

POV: Kuroo Tetsuro

It's about an hour's trip to Aoba Johsai. But I tend to visit it three-four times a week. I enjoy the scenery in the village and it's fun to have two hours in silence, to and back from the kingdom.

I also enjoy visiting Oikawa. I'm not in love with him or anything, but I don't really get along too well with anyone in the palace here. I mean I know two of the guards are decent. Yaku and Lev, they're not bad but I don't get along too well with either of them. Also Yamamoto is a nice butler but he has way too much energy. I know there's like a few others who are important to my family but I really don't remember their names.

Then there's my wife. She's not the first choice I would pick for an ideal partner but at least she respects me and my needs and wants. Her name is Junko Yumeme. Or Princess Kuroo. Technically she didn't take my last name but for the sake of the kingdom she's known with my last name.

Junko greets me at the door as soon as I walk in.

"Tetsuro we have a slight issue."

"What happened?"

"One of the jewelry stores was robbed and they're blaming one of the workers."

"Who are they blaming?"

"The butler, Yuji Terushima."

"Oh great. I'll handle it."

Yuji is a very special butler. He's actually the closest butler to me. I didn't mention him earlier because he transferred to work here from some other kingdom. No one knows where he came from except us. He's the one we send out to shop for our meals. But he tends to get in trouble. Nothing bad or illegal but he does make people confused and angry. He pull pranks and flirts with everyone but he gets the job done. Of course people accuse him of stealing.

I walk to the butler's corders and knock. Yamamoto answers and bows.

"Sir, if you're looking for Terushima he is in the dining hall."

"Ah thank you."

I walk to the dining hall and see him and my parents. I take a seat next to him and look at them.

"Finally Tetsuro! Where have you been?"

"Aoba Johsai. Now what happened?"

"Ugh you're always over there, pay more attention to your servants." My mom huffs.

"Right. So did we figure it out or no?"

"No. We're being sued for two hundred thousand."

"That's dumb! Where's the proof it was him?"

"Well yesterday he went there late at night and bought a ring and the store owner claimed it missing."

"I got rid of the receipt too. My apologies I didn't mean to get you all in so much trouble. I promise it wasn't me though."

Yuji looks down. He never really gets this down.

"It's fine. I'll talk to the owner. Please give me the cell number to the store."

Yuji quickly pulls out his phone and I dial the number on my own personal phone. I press call and wait for the owner to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this" I cover the mic asking my parents for the name of the store before uncovering it when they reply "Saeko's Jewlery?"

"Yes. What do you need?"

What a way to talk to a customer. "I'm Prince Tetsuro Kuroo of the royal family."

"Oh, if you're calling for me to drop the lawsuit I refuse. I know he stole the jewels."
