I strolled to the next chamber with an owl still tailing behind me. 

A tight grip held another silver tray as i slightly shivered by a sudden cold breeze passing by. 

I finally arrived at a lighted hallway as i made my way in front of the next door, knocking once.

"Greetings, your highness. Snacks from Princess Kim has finally arrived." I softly announced, waiting patiently.

A full minute passed as i furrowed my brows before huffing loudly.

I knocked three times again, only to receive no response.

I pondered, narrowing my eyes at the dead silent closed chamber in front of me.

I took a step back, confusingly tilting my head at the quiet closed door.

"What's happening.." I murmured to myself as i turned around before looking around the area, hoping to find someone's presence. 

The moonlight behind me grazed over the silver tray in my grasp as it started sparkling.

I stared at it, distracting myself for a little while as a twig snapped nearby.

I froze as my grip on the silver tray tightened again. Are these those unknown villagers with bows from the royal fiesta again?

I quickly turned around only to see the pervert princess in the dark, heading towards me.

I flinched letting a small yelp as she also flinched at my reaction.

"YOU!" She pointed at me as her other hand was over her chest in shock. "W-What are you doing here?!" She added.

"To fulfill a royal request." I blinked a few times, "What were you doing without lights strolling out here at night?" I raised a brow.

"It seems like that question appears to be a meddle into my business." She gave me a small glare, "It is none of your concern." She sighed before walking passed me.

I stood still, looking at her with a weird look.

Now where did that come from?

I huffed again, loudly for her to hear as she was about to slide the wooden door open when she paused.

"What brings you here at my sleeping chamber?" She blankly asked, still turning her back away from me.

"I brought food from the royal order of a kim prince--"

"And why is that you're here when the moon's at the very top of the night sky?" She furrowed her brows as i realized she was already walking towards me.

"Princess Kim asked for midnight snacks?" I answered as i made it sound like a question unintentionally.

"Midnight snacks." She repeated before facing me. "How adorable." She chuckled through her nose. "You are asking me why i'm strolling around here late at night while you are here doing the same thing." She raised a brow.

"Yes, perhaps you don't understand that i am no damsel in distress, i don't need such knight in a shining armor to save me if ever i'd be caught up in trouble." I tilted my head at her as she gave me an amused smile afterwards.

"Why of course, you do not need such knight in a shining armor, but you do need warm clothes." She chortled before removing the outer part of her clothing.

My shoulders stiffened as soon as she wrapped it around me.

"We are nearing a very cold season, you could catch a flu on the way." She mockingly laughed before stepping back as i glared at her.
