"Princess... your smile is so bright." Lily teases Athy. Athy was wiping the red bangle with a clean cloth while smiling. "is it the young man with red hair?"

"ah... the nosebleeding man."

The two of them giggled as they remembered the redhead noble having his nosebleed after staring for a good while at Athy on the first night of Rowoon's foundation anniversary.

Honestly, after that night, Athy couldn't take off her mind from the man. She never really took a liking to the opposite sex but somehow, those fierce gazes prod into her soul. It's not the usual lustful gaze of men who wanted to take her, bed her, or lust after her. It was a proper gaze which is why she didn't feel any repulsion while spending the day with him.

"My princess is in love." Lily smiles and pokes Athy's side, "by the looks of that man, he is dense."

"I don't know about that yet, Lily... but... apparently... He's a noble while I'm merely a dancer,"

"But you are a princess," Lily said.

Athy sigh and smiled at Lily, "you know that I can't go back there now."

Lily had fallen silent and sat beside Athy. She wrapped her arms over her and lean her head to hers, "If it's a noble... then, at least you have someone you like, normally right."

Athanasia was not innocent enough not to learn about these. She was a dancer and she was forced to learn the ways of living, including falling in love. She was able to preserve herself by using magic and protect herself from harm on her own.

If that crazy magician knows this, he might clap his hand for her.

"I wonder... if we can meet again." Athy said. This was the first time she had a crush. Although it's with a noble, who will marry a noble lady, at least the man she has a crush on was a decent man. (I wonder about that...*looks at Big Brother Prince and his treasury*)

However, fate is great for the first time in her life. She meets the scowling Red Head being pulled by children left and right.

"You okay, Mister?"

"Do I looked like okay?" Cale retorted but his tone was mostly gentle. Athy laughs lightly and pulls the man towards her.

"Noona!" the gray-haired children cried happily in unison. They went to Athy after calling out to her. The children made happy purring sounds which are new.

"what are you doing?" She asked Cale.

"I came to have them get trimmed." The Henituse official hair styler is suffering from backaches due to his age. Cale didn't bother calling for one and decided to bring the children with untidy long hair for a cut. Of course, Hong is included. They're currently afraid of the almost gay-macho barbers that's why they're refusing to go inside while pulling him away from the shop.

Athy laughs once again and said, "they're good hairdressers... they won't hurt you..."

"But Noona..."

She chided in a soft voice, "come on... Young Master Cale will treat after, don't you want it?'

Cale had a face, since when did he promise that?

Athy ignored him and said, "do you know the reason why he took the trouble to take you here? It was because he plans on treating you all after you obediently have your hair cut?"

Ten pairs of doe eyes glanced at Cale. The redhead scoffed, crossing his arms in affirmation. The pack then went back to Cale and cling to his sleeve.

"Have your hair cut..." He said. The children obediently followed and entered the shop with the following from behind.
