A Princess Story

Karina meets Yeji

It's been a month since we started searching for Yuna's sister and my mystery kisser but there's no luck. When Chaeryeong went to that place I told her to, the woman wasn't living there anymore.

Why would she move so sudden like that?

So for the past month, I've been feeling down. My parents keep asking me why and I just tell them I'm fine. They don't really believe me but they respect me enough to not push it.

Good news is Yuna and I are not awkward around each other anymore. She's opened up a bit to me and told me about her past. Her relationship with her sister. How hard it was when they moved here. How she had to witness her sister get beaten up by people or how her sister would protect whenever someone would try to hit her.

"Will you stop sulking? Did one kiss make you fall in love with her?" Lia jumps on my bed to join me.

"I'm not in love. I'm just curious about her" I say.

"Is it love that I can't stop thinking about her? Is it love that I want to experience that kiss again? Is it love that I want to spend more time with her? Is it love my heart beats faster when I think about her? How can it be love if I don't even know her name?" I question her.

"You're right. It's just an infatuation that could develope into love" Lia teases.

"You're crazy. I'm not gonna fall in love that easily. I'm a princess" I chuckle.

"A lovesick princess" Lia teases me more.

"I'm not in love!" I grab a pillow and I hit her with it.

"Okay okay. You're not in love. You don't have to kill me!" Lia defends herself.

"I'll prove it to you. If I meet her again that there's no feelings involved" I say.

Someone knocks on the door.

"Princess, you're wanted by the king" Yuna informs me. "I'm coming, thank you!" I shout.

I walk to my dad's office. I wonder what he wants.

I enter the room and I see someone else is in there.

"Dad, why did you call me?" I ask.

"Yewang?" The female guest say.

"Karina? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Yewang?" My dad questions me.

"Ahh that was the name I used when I was out" I shyly say.

"Yewang? You couldn't think of a better name?" My dad ask.

"It was a spur of the moment thing. I couldn't tell her my real name" I sit down next to my dad.

"Can someone tell me what's going on? And what's Yewang, I mean the princess' real name?" Karina looks at us confuse.

I tell Karina my real name and I explain her about me leaving the palace to explore the kingdom but I didn't share the fact that I was almost abducted.

"Why is Karina here?" I ask my dad.

"She's Lord Kai's daughter. She will be staying in the palace from now on. She's gonna take over Lia's job and Lia is gonna be your personal help" my dad explains.

"Really? So I get to hang out with Lia all the time now?" I excitedly ask.

"Mhm. I notice you've been sad lately and maybe it's because Lia has been busy with her duties" my dad explains.

"Thanks dad" I smile at him.

"So Karina, may I ask why the sudden interest? I heard your dad has been trying to get you to work here but you would always refuse" my dad ask.
