"𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦?"

'which part was it again?
ah, right, how could i forget.'

𓂅 THE SUN ROSE , accompanied with a bunch of ash grey clouds upon the azure sky .
the sun was shining in all it's glory , covering up the gloomy mood of the whole empire .
the wind softly blew a cold ; refreshing breeze .

"𝗗𝗔𝗗𝗗𝗬, 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚?" y/n calls out to the man whom she was slightly catching up to. he was fast with those long legs of his; compared to hers. well, she is just a 7 year old child after all.

the h/c haired man winced at the way she addressed him, not liking it even a bit. "do not ever call me that ever again," he scoffed "how unpleasant to the ears to hear that from you."

the said child widened her eyes at this as she stays silent, pursuing her lips to at least help her stop the tears from flowing out of her royal e/c eyes.

"of course. my apologies for my reckless behavior, father." she quietly responded.

her father hummed contently at the change of her demeanor. he halts his walking; causing his daughter to stop after him, too. they were in front of a large carriage with well behaved white small dragons at the front of it.

"be at your best behavior." his green glaring eyes glances at his child's small form, "we will be going to the obelian empire for business purposes."

he steps in the carriage and took a seat, resting his chin on his palm. "inform your mother about this important matter, i will be waiting here." he added.

"understood, father."

——— ˗ˋ ୨୧ ˊ˗ ———

the young y/n was walking alone in their palace grounds, her head facing the ground deep in thought of the previous events she has been experiencing.

this household was never safe for her. her family is very powerful and scary. dare to disobey them, and face the consequences.

being their own child was scary enough, being a stranger to them was even more worse. she visibly shivered at the thought of her being nobody to this family and deciding to mess with them.

she takes a look at her little hand with sad, drooping eyes. 'will I ever be enough for them?' she thinks.

'I hope I can be strong someday like them.. but why? what is my reason to be strong? wait— maybe I'll protect daddy and mommy, since I love them very much! .. but, what even is my purpose? this makes my head hurt, everything is too confusing for me.'

a soft voice suddenly stops her depressing thoughts, "your highness, what bring you here at the sapphire palace?" his footsteps covers up the silence of the whole room.

y/n tilts her head to look down at the man who was on his knees, hand on his heart; bowing in front of her. "ah, ray. please raise your head."

「 RAYJIN SMITH 」

" 𝗜 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗢𝗟𝗗 , 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗜 𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗞𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗔𝗦𝗦. "
—————————

he raises his head as he softly looks into her e/c eyes, "of course, your highness."

she nods in return, turning her head to look at the direction where her mother's room is. "and to answer your question, I was going to visit mother to inform her about the visit to the royal family."

"I see," the butler hums, still on his one knee that was supporting his body.

"would you like me to do it instead? i wouldn't want the princess to get herself tired on her way." he chuckles softly at the flustered child.

"sure.. thank you." he stood up from the ground and bows a little again at the princess, turning his back on her to continue on to his destination.

standing still and staring at the back of the her personal butler, she closes her eyes; thinking deeply once again.

after moments of silence, she abruptly opens her eyes and pumps her fists, looking oh do determined. "cheer up, y/n! let's not think sad thoughts for now!"

she runs to the opposite direction while smiling brightly, not even caring a bit of the male and female knights' looks at her. 'ignore them, they're probably just judging me again.'

as she was out of their sights, they suddenly squealed in delight with blooming flowers surrounding their bodies,

"𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗬/𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗗! 𝗜 𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗣𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥!"
