Today is rain's second day living in this huge and expensive looking palace, after waking up in his chamber, rain decided to walk around it's his exercise on this morning.

"It's my 2nd day here yet I am still not used to it" his elbow rested on a metal while his chin is above his palm. His eyes are wondering above the sky thinking if he's really worth of living here. "If this is a dream, please do wake me up" from what he remembers this might be the 2nd time saying this. don't blame him tho.

"Hey you-!" A bratty voice called.

Rain tuned his head and saw a young lady almost same age as him. She's wearing a unique and expensive dress with peplum under his bodice, it has different laces and decorations attached to her bodice and hem of her skirt.

"You servant! I am calling you!" She called again and approach him frowning. "Haven't you heard me!" She sound like demanding rain though.  "Wanna die right now or what!?" Rain's tempered almost Burst out, luckily he stopped himself and just did what this bratty princess wanted.

Rain is just wearing a simple plain-white shirt and a ripped jeans, that's why he's not surprised why this bratty princes mistaken him as a servant inside the palace.

"Anything you wanted, princess?" He bowed. The princess smirked, thinks highlu of herself. "Go get some water, my throat is dry" before leaving rain bowed.

The princess release her fan and ordered the maids to fan her behind.

Ostel just came back after talking with the royal king and royal queen. He is on his way to fetch the prince, he stopped when he saw princess aile with her servant in the middle of the hallway.

"Princess aile" he bowed. Princess smiled at him. "May I asked why princess aile is here?" From what ostel see, she seems like waiting or chill there. "Ah. I am waiting for my water" ostel nodded but that doesn't convince him.

"Here" rain came back rudely handed the cup to her. "Oh, sorry but.. I already change my mind, can you get me some juice instead?" This time rain roll his eyes. He was startle after noticing ostel's presence in a corner.

"He's.. the servant you're talking about?" He pointed out. Princess aile nodded, still venting anger on his behavior towards her. "Sir ostel. Look, how rude this servant! He has no manners at all!" She dare pointing her finger on the person he called 'servant'.

Ostel clear his throat, an misunderstanding seems happening round.

"Please, fire him! And make him leave" ostel gaze the princess sharply and that shivers her. Ostel came Infront of that 'servant'.

"I think you're mistaken about this person, princess aile" ostel taken rain's side. Rain behind him crosses his arm, raising his chin too. "This person you called servant is not what you just have said earlier, princess" ostel clarified.

Princess aile laughed in a formal lady way "then who is he then? If he's not a servant here, then he must be a trespasser" She sarcastic said. "Quick! And called the guards, this trespasser should put inside the jail before he steal something more worthy than his life" she ordered her maid, they almost leeav the scene but ostel gesture his hand.

"Halt!" A strong and demand voice ostel used, that started everyone arounds him. He sounded like a strict leader from a military group. "I am sorry for the tone I used but you're already crossing the line, princess" he still respect the princess even tho she's bad mouthing she called 'servant'. Princess huffed "if you're here to make a scene with this person you called servant please leave immediately" he said with polite.

"How dare you! You're just the king's right hand. You're not in the place to order me around!" Princess roughly Rebuke him. "I am the princess of ohkailo kingdom if this news reached to my father he will surely sentence you to death!"

"What's this all about!" Everyone halt. All of them lower and bowed as the king entered the scene. "Your royal highness. Please send this two servant to jail" she begged. "They trying to corner me, correcting my wrong doings. This person also raised his voice at me!"

The king glance to them "is that true, ostel?" The king ask, so he could analyze the situation first before he act. "Your royal highness. I might be a servant but my words are the purest. I understand if don't believe me but please keep him away from this" he was talking about the prince behind him. The king step forward and go behind ostel. His eyes were stunned, the king didn't even blink once his eyes landed. The king raised both of his hands. Rain thought of ready to be hit by his father hitself yet nothing landed on his cheeks instead he received a warm and longing hug from his father, his biological and blood-related father.

The king huffed, his eyes stares at rain's, he wander his eyes at the boy's appearance. "You.. you looked so much of your mother, just like the moment you were born" he softly rubbed his cheeks. Rain stares at the king for a long time, a tear started to fall from his eyes after hearing his biological father's voice for the first time.

"Is he... My father?" He asked with confusion on his voice. Ostel nodded with a smile. Rain looked back. "Father!" Rain sobbed. He throw himself to his father after, his father hugged him back. Rain continue sobbing as he felt the warm embrace with HIS father for the first time.

As the the king felt the longing of his lost son, Princess aile was puzzle, she didn't know how she could express what she was witnessing.

"Your royal highness" princess aile interrupt. The king face her with a poker face but his hand never withdraw from his son's shoulder.

"Princess aile" he says. Princess aile attentively listen. " You should know who you were talking to before bad mouthing them" fear was shown on the princess face. "B.but, isn't he a servant with sir ostel?" She tried to defend herself

"No" he strongly disagree. "You should leave this palace before i permanently banded you here" the king leave with his son leaving the princess to ostel.

Ostel was about to leave also but the princess's hand stopped him, ostel remove them immediately and did the thing for the princess. He move closely to the princess's ears "if I were you, starting from now on, you should stop visiting the palace"

"You know why?" The princess swallow his saliva. "Cause you just offense the royal prince earlier" The Princess started to lack of strength from his legs, she fell down and remain faze. She just didn't offense the king but also the boy whom he called servant earlier, it's was the prince itself who got lost 19 years ago.
