   "It is time to wake, dear,"

   Felix whined and hid under his covers.

  "I do not wish to get up, mother," Felix said.

  The woman sighed, "I do not wish for you to be mopey. You have been in bed for three days,"

   "Where is Hyunjin? I have not seen him in as many days,"

   "He is taking some time to himself,"

  Felix hummed.

     "My dear son, it is time for you to get up,"

    The prince groaned.

   "Do you not have obligations in town today?" The queen questioned.

     Felix thought for an moment and then sat up, "How am I to do it without a gaurd?"

"Hyunjin is not your only gaurd if you have forgotten. For the time being Jackson will be your gaurd,"

  The male pouted.

  "Very well, I shall get ready," Felix muttered.

    "Ah, those flowers came in for you earlier. I had Ms Song bring them up and leave them there," the woman said when she saw Felix looking at the red tulips.

   "Who sent them?" Felix questioned looking at the card.

   "I do not know, they came anonymously,"

   Felix hummed.

   "Well, you must be Lady Nani, it is a pleasure to meet you," Felix said, getting down to the small girl's height.

    The small girl giggled.

   "You're really pretty!" The five year old giggled out.

    Felix smiled brightly and chuckled, "Why thank you, you are very pretty as well,"

  Felix stood up properly, smiling at the other three girls all of which seemed nervous compared to their five year old sister.

   "It is a pleasure to meet you, your royal highness," the oldest of the three girls said.

  The other two following what she said.

   "Ah, what shall I do with you?" Felix questioned.

   The three girls eyes widened thinking they said something wrong.

   However Felix turned and flicked James in the forehead.

   "I asked you to tell them not to address me so formally, did you not listen to a word I spoke?" Felix huffed.

   "Well, I was quite taken by your beauty, so it was possible I missed that," James said.

   "Why you…" Felix grumbled, rolling his eyes playfully.

    The four girls laughed at the interactions between their brother and the prince.

  "Ah well, please do not address me so formally, just call me Felix. What are your names?"

  "I am Tina," the oldest girl said.

   "Lana," the second oldest said.

   "I am Iris," the second youngest said.

   "It is a pleasure to meet you all, we should get going, there is somewhere I wish to take you four," the prince said.

   "Do we not need to wait for your guard? He seemed pretty upset last time you were here ithout him," James mentioned.

  Felix pursed his lips, "That particular guard is taking some time off as something apparently came up," he said.

   The group began to walk.

   "You do not seem pleased with that,"

  The younger bit his lip.

  "He is not one to take time away. I am not used to him not being by my side. He's always the one making sure I do not do anything reckless, he always makes sure I am safe… he is just always around and it feels not really good to not have him here with me,"

   "But you have snuck out of the palace without him," James said.

   "Mm, I guess I was always fine with that because he always seemed to know where I'd go. Right now, however, I do not believe he even knows I am out and it just makes me feel uneasy in the greatest sense of the word," Felix said.

   "It sounds as if you are quite dependent on him and him being near,"

   Felix never thought of that. Had he come to be dependent upon Hyunjin being with him?
