Yesterday's incident was unusual. Why does it have to be Grandmother? It's really creepy.

"Your Majesty, your dress is ready."

"Thank you Ivy." I got up from the tub and dried myself.

"Thank you for always fixing my hair, Ivy." I thanked her as she combs my hair and some other maids are fixing my dress.

"It is my pleasure, Your Majesty. You just remind me of my little sister." she explained.

"You have a sister? What's her name?" I turned around to face Ivy. This is the first time I heard someone I know has a sister or even siblings.

"Oh your dress!" some of the maids panicked because I turned around so suddenly

"Her name's Yvia, your majesty." She told me the name of her sister and chuckled.

"Let me just fix your hair again. Hihi." she added.

"Oh sorry." I turned back and got my hair and dress done. It is somehow weird being dressed by the maids. Maybe because I am a Princess? They really should get a lot of reward.

"Hey, Ivy!"

"Yes, your majesty?"

"Do you have a moment?" I was just thinking if they can all come with me by the ocean. And of course we all ended in the same boat.

"Isn't it pretty here, Ivy?" I looked at Ivy who was looking at the beautiful view of the ocean.

"Your majesty, be careful!" I stood by the boat and the other maids were panicking. We're riding two boats, the other one is where the king and the queen are and the other one is for me with Atticus and the maids.

"Woah, look at that!" I signal them to look at the fishes who are swimming below the boat.

"I want to hold them." I tried to reach it until

"Your Majesty!!" The maids shouted but someone reached my hand.

I smiled as soon as I saw him.

Atticus' Point of View

I quickly grabbed her hand as she was about to fall. She smiled so innocently as soon as she turned around.

"You keep on making me nervous. You keep on making me worried. Aisla, can you please be careful? I don't want to lose you again. Do you understand?!" I hugged her tight and told her those words.

"Okay." She stares at me but still smiles.

Silence remains from the boat we were riding and the other maids just keep talking while Aisla is looking at the view at her side. Is she thinking of Lord Dylan?

"Atticus?" she suddenly looked at me.

"Oh I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. It's just that you look like you have a lot of things in mind."

"Nothing, really." I lied.

"But."

"Hmm?"

"Aisla. You know I'm always here for you, right?"

"Of course, Atticus." She replied and smiled.

I really hope you do. Because Aisla, I'm scared of losing you again.

Flashback-

"Isla, be careful!" An old woman warned a little girl who is about to-

fall!

"Aw- huh?" I quickly caught her.

"Isla!"

"Young master!"
