Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

24

Luna wiped one of the tables as she could hear the village celebrating the official announcement of the royal wedding date outside of the open window.

She tried to ignore the excited cheers of the children throwing flowers to decorate the streets as celebration.

She stopped her movements before tossing the cloth into the bucket filled with water, walking over to the window to close and lock it.

But her eyes ran over the streets as the beautiful colors were everywhere.

The wedding was supposed to be in three days, and everyone around the town was excited to finally officially see the prince being announced and married.

There had been ongoing celebrations since the start of the week. People from other villages had come into the town square as well, bringing flowers and gifts for the prince and soon to be princess.

Some of the people from the bar who had met the prince a couple of times were even more excited for him, as a marriage is one of the most important events for a prince who was soon to be king.

Ms. Tem was also outside, pushing the flowers out of her way as she carried a bucket of water towards her home. Their eyes met, and the lady gave her a small wave with her free hand.

Luna nodded her head as a greeting and Ms. Tem looked at her in slight pity before walking into her house.

Luna raised her eyebrows as her gaze met Hav's.

The little girl was approaching her with a basket of flowers and a skip in her step.

"Hello Luna."

"Hey, kid. Are you having fun with the flowers?" Luna asked as she raised her eyebrows.

Hav shrugged her shoulders and looked down at the basket, passing it to Luna.

She furrowed her eyebrows in question as she stared at the basket of flowers that the little girl was offering.

"This is for your wedding with the prince."

Luna's eyes widened slightly as she stared at the little girl.

"What?"

"I don't like that Beomgyu is marrying someone else, he should marry you, so I'm giving you the flowers instead of the princess. My mommy wants him to marry you too, and so does everyone else, especially the elder ladies at the end of the street." Hav smiled as she placed the basket on the windowsill.

"Um... thank you." She said as she didn't know what exactly she was supposed to say to her.

Hav only gave her another smile, before skipping away to her friend.

As Luna's eyes followed her, she spotted more of the flower baskets in front of her bar, making her look at them in shock.

"Why..." She couldn't even finish her words as she moved to open the front door of the bar, seeing more than ten baskets of flowers. "What am I supposed to do with these?"

(~+~+~+~+~+~+~)

Beomgyu sat at the dinner table with his parents and lady Elle as they would consistently look at him every two minutes.

He was eating nonchalantly as he barely looked up from his food, sometimes interacting with Elle who he had managed to become friends with after a couple of times meeting.

The queen cleared her throat, making everyone look at her in question.

"It feels a little weird at the table without Princess Ari. We used to do this all of the time when the kids were younger." She started speaking, and the king nodded his head at her words. "As now we will be a family, it is best if we all have dinner together every night."
