"Lady (y/n), your (s/c) skin fits this (f/c) dress so well! Your beauty is outstanding!" It was weird. Everything had been weird since the day that she had kissed the prince. Suddenly, as soon as he declared her as his future wife, the other servants began to treat her differently.

Now, some of them would address her with 'lady' instead of just her name. They would even offer to do her work for her. Because even though she now had a slightly higher position, she still was a servant. She insisted on it, not wanting to be lazy.

'How long will this continue? I hate it. I'm still an almost normal servant. I may be the prince's fiance, but I have to do my work nevertheless.' With that thought in her mind, the (h/c) haired female picked up the tray with two cups of tea on it.

The prince had asked her to bring a cup for herself too, he wanted to spend a little bit more time with her. 'I wonder if it's just so we can get to know each other better. But then again...' Her thoughts wandered off to when they had kissed.

'What if Prince Byakuya wants to spend time with me in private? Like really private? Not as servant and prince. As lovers. Could that be it?' A smile made its way onto her face. 'That would be nice. I still have so much questions that I want to ask him.'

Understandable. After Byakuya had pulled away from the kiss that day, his only reaction was a small smile before he acted like nothing ever happened. 'Can I even call us 'lovers' then? What if he doesn't see me as his fiance but as some sort of business partners?'

"Ah, there you are, (y/n)!" Her movements entirely stopped for a second. Even her breathe stopped. "I was looking everywhere for my brother's favorite servant!" The blonde princess hurried over to her, a servant running behind her, gasping for air as he begged her to slow down. "Ah, princess... What is it?"

'I may not like her, but she seems nicer than all of his other siblings... And she's a royal, so I have to be nice to her.' "I came here to ask how you were doing. After all, all these false rumors are spreading around the castle. What a shame!"

'Rumors? No, false rumors?' Tilting her head to the side slightly, (y/n) gave the princess a questioning look. "What do you mean with 'false rumors'? Did you hear anything unpleasant about me?" The blonde took one of the cups that the tray held, taking a sip from it.

'She may be the princess, but why is she just drinking from a stranger's cup?!' Taking a deep breath, the servant looked at the blonde once again. "Oh, did my brother not tell you that he invited me for some tea under siblings?" Her (e/c) eyes widened in confusion.

'But Prince Byakuya told me that he wanted to spend time with me! Who of them is lying to me right now? It has to be the princess, right...?' Her thoughts were racing as the blonde spoke up once again. "You know, the rumors about your and my brother's marriage."

"I-" (Y/n) began but was cut off rather quickly. "Really, I mean, how dare these dirty servants say something like that when everyone knows that my brother would never marry a commoner? It's so frustrating." Wiping away an Imaginary tear, the princess turned around. "I will make sure to clear these rumors up, don't worry!"
