"Are you lonely darling?"|| Part 3

And just like that, everything started to play out. The distraction had started.

"You! Gather the guards and check that out! I must go check on the princes!" I shout to one of the guards. He waves the nearby guards to follow him and signals for another to go collect the others on the other side of the castle. I start running towards the castle to avoid suspicion but change directions once I'm out of view of the guards.

I look over my shoulder once more to confirm that I'm not being followed. To my misfortune, I run into a person.

"God! What is it with you and running into me!" Prince Seungmin says while catching my waist, preventing my fall. "Your Highness! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the back with your brothe- mph-" My sentence is cut short when Seungmin's hand clasps over my mouth and my back hits a wall.

"Shh, someone is coming.." Seungmin whispers next to my ear, his voice sending shivers down my spine. I realize just how close we are. The prince has me trapped, once again, between him and a wall, his body is almost pressed up against mine.

I can't lie, he's undeniably attractive, just like his brothers. His dark eyes collide with my own, making my heart rate increase. A ghost of a smirk grazes the prince's face. I break eye contact and shift uncomfortably.

His eyes glare at me in warning as I try to wiggle out of his grasp.

"Stop moving." He whispers sternly while tightening his grip on my waist. "You're going to get us caught, 'Royal Guard.'"

I stop trying to free myself. Seungmin slowly removes his hand, and puts a finger to his lips, silently telling me to be quiet.

Without warning the prince grabs my hand and harshly pulls me out from behind the wall. We run under the cover of night, towards the back entrance of the castle.

Once we made it to the destination, Seungmin releases his grip on my hand. "Where the hell were you?!" Prince Chris whisper yells. "We almost got caught!" Seungmin replies.

"It was my fault, Prince Chris, I deeply apologize," I say while bowing.

"I doubt that Y/n, but anyways, let's get moving. We have a 3-day trek until Eldermora." The prince continues. "Are you alright Y/n? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Prince Chris says while getting closer to me.

I look him up and down quickly. He's not in his usual suit, he doesn't have his crown sitting on his head, and there's a bag slung over his shoulder.

"N-no your highness, I am alright," I say. He smiles and turns back to his brothers. "Alright, let's head out."

We start walking down the dark path. I have my hand on the hilt of my sword, ready to draw it at a second's notice. I walk behind the group of princes. To be honest, it's weird not seeing them in their fancy clothing and crowns, they look... normal, unlike royalty.

I'm lost in thought when I feel a nudge on my shoulder. I snap my head around and I'm greeted by one of the princes smiling down at me. Prince Hyunjin, the flirty 4th born.

"Prince Hyunjin. Is something wrong?" I glance ahead to see the other princes chatting and laughing. "Hmmm, nothing comes to mind. You just looked like you needed some company. Are you lonely darling?" Prince Hyunjin says smoothly.

"If you're trying to charm me, your highness, I assure you it's not going to work," I say. Hyunjin stops in his tracks, dumbfounded. I continue walking after the other princes. His pace increases to catch up to me.

"You're an interesting one, Y/n. Beautiful and brave? That's a dangerous combination if I've ever seen one." He says. "You flatter me, your highness. Now if you are done trying to flirt with me, I must get back to making sure your highnesses are safe." I say, looking forward.
