"My parents are still there. And I just go here first since I saw you sitting here alone. "  Princess Christine said and I just nodded

"How are you? How's the life of being a princess, huh? " - Princess Christine

"It is kinda hard but I was enjoying it" I said

"I agree. That's why I don't really wanna be a princess, there's too many responsibilities to do" the princess said

"Really? You don't wanna be a princess? " I asked

"Yup. But I'm glad that you are enjoying it. Since the day that you get married to my brother. I was really glad. To be honest. My responsibilities went to my mom and some of her responsibility get into you. Now I can focused more to the things that I really wanted to do" the princess said

"What are those things? " I asked

"I actually wanna be a lawyer someday" the princess answered

"Really, that's cool"

"Yeah, thank you. My dad doesn't really support me. Also Carl. Mom is the only one who supports me" - Princess Christina

"Now you have two" I said that made her look at me and smiled.

"Thank you" she said while giving me a smile

"Just keep doing it. Keep doing the things that you like. Whatever what people told you. Just keep doing and don't stop just because some people don't support you"

"Indeed. Thanks a lot. "

"I actually don't think you are suit with Prince Carl" she said that made me look at her

"Oh, don't get it wrong. I mean.. You know... I just do think you are too better for him. But don't worry. I'm just telling what I think. Honestly. I just do like you a lot. That's it. " the princess said

After that, the Queen and the King has finally approached us.

"Where Prince Carl? " King Friedrich

I then stand up from my sit

"I'll just go after him now, your majesty" I said then bowed at them before I even walk away.

I walk and look around. There's some people who were approaching me and talking to me. But even i'm talking to them, I was looking around. And when they finally finished talking to me. I kindly excused myself and finally continue to look around, until I saw him outside, was talking to someone. I then approached them.

"Prince Carl, the majesties are already looking for you" I said

"Oh, I'm sorry if I ever disturb you. I'm sorry Prince Carl, Princess Alicia. You should go now"

"No, Princess Dakota. You aren't disturbing me. By the way, Princess Dakota, She is my wife, Princess Alicia. My wife, she is Dakota, Princess Dakota" - Prince Carl

"It's really nice to see you Princess Alicia"

"It's nice to meet you, princess" I said

"We should go now, princess. I have a really good talk with you" the prince said and after that, he held princess Alicia's hand then finally go away.

"Who is she? Where did you two meet? " I asked

"Oh, Princess Dakota also likes horses. I met her while I was with coachman and my horse. " Prince Carl answered with a big smile on his face.

"Oh, is that it? "

We then finally get back our thrown.
