_____

Through festive music, loud chattering and children playing with traditional games. The sun was bright, just the right temperature and the wind was cool as birds fled through clouds. Beatrix, ran swiftly among the crowds, it was a very busy day and people were everywhere around the town. "Excuse me..Can I pass by please?" She requested while squeezing between two people so she can arrive at her destination.

For context, her caretaker told her to buy a pastry that is only made once a month. The pastry is very delicious and sold out very fast, the pastry are made by a baker, named Timothy. While running to the well known bakery, she stumbled upon a huge crowd, surrounding a big carriage. She couldn't careless and walked passed the crowds, she is really focused on her task that was requested by her caretaker, Ruth. But, someone caught their attention on her, someone who was mesmerized by her beauty.

His eyes widened slightly at the sight of Beatrix, his heart began to race as he can't seem to take his eyes off of her. Her long silky black hair and her dreamy emerald coloured eyes was captured as perfect by the person. But he was brought back to reality when his butler, Norman, called out on him. "My prince, one should not be distracted while visiting the town. Please keep your guard up." The prince was starled and faced his butler. "I apologized, my mind was off elsewhere due to a very..interesting sight." Prince Zen, the son of King Sirius, famous for his rank and leadership. Not to mention, his good looking features and his nicely toned body.

After a quite awkward conversation, prince Zen's mind wandered off, again. 'I have to meet that girl...I can't just let someone like that passed by without knowing who she was..', he thought to himself while putting his pointed and thumb finger under his chin, thinking. The butler took noticed by the prince sudden seriousness and asked. "Is there something on your mind, my prince?" The husked tone entered the prince's ear, and suddenly the prince had an idea. "Norman, my father is going to another kingdom in a few days, am I correct?"

Norman's eyebrows raised a bit, as prince Zen looked at him in a hopeful way. "Yes, my prince. Your father is going to another kingdom to attend a wedding." Norman finally answered, wondering why prince Zen is asking about his father's schedule. Prince Zen's eyes softened and a smirk form on his face. "My prince, please don't plan anything..foolish." The butler said in a concerned tone, "No worries Norman, I'm sure my plans are not foolish this time."
