The next morning, Xavier was warmly woken up by his maid, Anastasia, early in the morning.

"Good morning Young Master. How did you sleep today?", Anastasia inquired with a warm smile.

Xavier smiled back and answered, "I slept great, how about you?".

"Fine just as usual", Anastasia replied.

Placing Xavier's breakfast on one of his tables that was far off his large bed, Anastasia inquired of Xavier, about what plans he had for today since it wasn't a school day.

To which Xavier replied, "I don't know what to do".

"You could go take your letually classes with the royal teachers?", Anastasia proposed.

And not wanting to be bored by those boring royal classes, Xavier responded, "Actually, I do have plans".

"I will go on a little stroll around the city streets since I haven't explored them yet".

Anastasia thought for a moment, then added, "Well, in that case, I will inform the royal guards about this".

But Xavier immediately cut her off, stating in a panic, "Don't tell the royal guards about it!".

Confused, Anastasia then proposed, "Then how about I go with you then?".

And Xavier answered, "Thank you, but I actually want to go by myself".

Deeply surprised, Anastasia hastily replied, "But your majesty! If you ain't going to be guarded by the elite royal knights, I should at least come with you for your safety".

Seeing how panicked Anastasia was, Xavier immediately calmed her down and clarified that the reason he wanted to go by himself, was that he didn't want to go out there in the city streets as a Prince, but as a regular citizen just like everyone there.

Anastasia sighed, and took a deep breath, finally deciding to obey her master's wishes to go out to the city of Moscow all by himself.

She then told Xavier to eat his meal, and that she and the other maids would prepare his clothes for him to wear so that he didn't catch too much attention.

An hour later, Xavier was fully dressed in some casual clothing that wouldn't make him stand out too much. And Anastasia then handed Xavier a small gold wrist chain, that had the Ivanovich family crest on it.

"What's this for?", Xavier questioned, looking at the chain.

"You can think of it as a multy scenario key, that will help you in whatever situations you get yourself in", Anastasia answered.

"For example, if you ever ran into trouble, just show that chain to the knights, and they will immediately help you in whatever you need".

"And if you're feeling hungry, you can just show that to whomever you are buying from, and they will it what they're selling to you for free".

Xavier then claimed in surprise and excitement, "Really? That's so awesome!".

"Yes, it is only normal for everything to kneel to your wants as a Prince of a great and powerful kingdom such as this", Anastasia retorted with a smirk.

Before leaving, Xavier inquired where his family was, as he didn't see them in the palace today.

Anastasia replied, explaining, "Well to begin, her Highness, went out with her friends for a small vacation".

"Vacation?", Xavier questioned confused.

"Yes", Anastasia answered.

Xavier's thoughts suddenly shifted, and he mused to himself, "Wait, if big sis went out with her friends, that must mean she's with Jasmine." His cheeks flushed as he pictured Jasmine's beautiful face, the image lingering in his mind.
