Normally, you would see Hailey mostly in her room 

But now, she goes to the village every now and then  

Mostly to admire this place she never saw in forever  

But, to also talk with Jake Sterling, a rebel boy on whom after many attempts of trying to executing him, the king eventually gave up 

Jake and Hailey were friends eversince he gave her the scarf she now wears daily 

She tried to repay him, but he denied every single one of her offers 

Finally, when she offered to be his friend, he accepted  

It was awhile before he trusted her(Well, yeah. He doesn't trust any royalty at all), but it was all worth it at the end

Hailey was looking for Jake when she heard someone behind her 

"BOO!" Yelled Jake from behind 

"JAKE!" Scolded Hailey "DONT DO THAT!" 

"I can't promise that, princess!" He teased 

She turned to Jake who was struggling to keep his laughter 

"Whatever...what was that for anyway?" She asked, annoyed 

"Well, I decided to suprise you since you look awfully tired. Did you even sleep?" He asked, concerned 

"Of course I slept! I-" she heard someone calling her 

"Hailey!" Yelled Zander  

"What?!" She yelled back "You know you can just come here, RIGHT?!" 

"Damn, who hurt you today?" He joked while walking toward them 

"No one" she replied not getting the joke 

"Should I-?" Said Jake, breaking the tension between the two siblings 

Lia noticed him and put on her flirty attitude 

She usually does this to steal Hailey's friends 

"Oh~? So you're Jake?" Said Lia walking up towards him 

"I- Uh-" Jake didn't know what to say to get out of romantic situations "Sorry, I don't really know how to react to romantic stuff-" 

"Why don't we do something about it~?" Lia went nearer 

"Leave him alone, Lia. Can't you see he's uncomfortable?" Scolded Hailey 

"Geez, why so moody?" Said Lia sarcastically as she left him alone, making him sigh in relief 

"Why so interested? Didn't you say you hated commoners?" Said Hailey coolly 

Lia was speechless. She never expected that her cowardly sister would ever stand up to her or anyone in particular  

Eventually she left, angry. This was the first time her tricks didn't work 

"S-sorry about her...she's usually like that" apologized Hailey 

"It's okay...who was that?" He asked 

"Lia, my older sister. I thought you knew?" 

"Nope! I don't really pay attention to stuff like that" he replied 

"Hem, hem? Are you gonna stop doing your romancy or continue on doing so? I really like the show here" teased Zander as Luke laughed 

"ZANDER!" Yelled Jake and Hailey
