Summer would soon come to an end, and usually the princess would complain and throw a fuss towards the sky which would turn darker sooner, but this time she needn't bother.

Every season was a good one if she felt happy and mostly content, and she truly did.

"What are you so happy about?" Hyungseo chuckled, looking at the princess who stood in her usual position by the window.

A smile was worn upon her face, a smile that he hadn't seen for a rather long time in the five years that he had known her.

"I can't be happy?" Dallia asks, raising an eyebrow at the prince.

"You can, but you cannot twist my words," Kevin joked, walking over to look out of the window too. "What do you find so fascinating out there?"

Truthfully, the princess panicked inside a little. She couldn't tell the man she was to marry that she would watch the coachman from here as often as she could.

Instead, she smiled, sighing with a light shrug. "I have a beautiful view, that is the most fascinating."

"I have to agree," he nodded, the princess relieved that he believed her. "Should we go out and explore?"

"Where?" She asked, turning her head to look at the boy who narrowed his eyes, his expression showing he was deep in thought.

"What about that waterfall you and your sister often visit?" He suggested, the girls face dropping slightly.

The thought of being there without Hyunjae was enough to turn her stomach, but now wasn't the time to let on to such a thing.

"Sure," Dallia smiled, breathing out. "Shall we?"

"We shall," Kevin nodded, watching as the girl looked at herself in the mirror. "You look wonderful, it's only a waterfall."

"It's too much," she mumbled, looking at the intricate detail upon her dress. "I must change."

"Alright," the prince nodded, the two standing awkwardly before his face dropped in realisation. "I'll wait outside."

The girl smiles through pursed lips, waiting until she heard the door latch before she untied herself, remembering how Hyunjae once did this for her, despite it being unnecessary.

She smiled at the thought, coughing to prevent her from chuckling to herself anymore, sucking in a deep breath as she opened the door, revealing the prince who stood chatting to some guards nearby.

Sights like this made the girl feel somewhat grateful that she would be married to him.

If they were to be married, he would be kind and gentle, a caring husband who wouldn't let her live an unsatisfactory life.

But these factors alone didn't change much. She still longed for something more, and she knew who she could most likely find that in.

"All ready?" Kevin chirped, smiling to the princess as she came out of her trance.
