Rogue Princess (Izana x Oc)

Stay, Don't go

Izana's side

Judging by how thick the layer of snow is from how it was on his way to the capital, there must have been a storm last night or sometime before he got here. Not that he's afraid of risking his life through the thick snow with his horse that is incapable of walking through it, but the possibility that there might be another snow storm coming in or worse, an avalanche. He needs to be more careful on this so that he won't die before he could save his fiancé... Or to be more specific, drag her back home...
I will find you Lilaca, and I'll take you back home whether you like it or not. He thought to himself as if his voice could reach the ear of his escaped princess. He turned his horse around and galloped back to the city, this time he'll need to contact the castle for more professionals to help him go through the snow.

I'll find you, my runaway princess...

Lilaca's side

The princess gasped when she woke up, and realized that just now was a dream, resting her head against her knees she told herself to calm down... The image of Prince Izana's face appeared in her mind, making her feel uneasy.... What was that? She thought, she was aware that the Crown Prince of Clarines is someone she were to be married to one day, when she finishes all her studies and become the queen of Azurian. Even though she barely talked to him, and when he pays his visits in the kingdom, the one who talked to him more was Lillia. Even Lilaca had admitted that her sister looked good with the prince, that they fitted in to each other... Perhaps, leaving the castle was actually a good idea, that way she won't have to feel like being a burden to the country and her people...

" Lilaca?", Lone called her, peering his face in to her room. Apparently, this cave was indeed magical, the things shifts or appears out of thin air just by thinking of it in her mind. A while a ago she thought of her own room, and the walls shifted and changed colors, then her bed, and other furniture merges in as if it's some kind of illusion that only such great witches and wizards could create, this is indeed one mysterious enchanted stone cave to be found in Azurian out of all places, and of course she had requested for a shack for Eden. No wonder why Lone look so relaxed while he knew he's stuck in here...
" What?", She replied.
" I heard your voice so I came in... did you have a bad dream?", He said.
" Not really, just an image of something unexpected...", Lilaca said.
" I see", The old man nodded and left her alone in what's now her new room.
In deep thought, she wondered why did she saw Izana in her dream... remembering the words he said, ' I'll find you, my runaway princess'  Sends the chills down her spine, it wasn't out of fear, but it's more likely to come from disgust... " my"?? Ughhh, She never liked him in particular, but she did admired him being able to stand tall for his country, he is indeed a fearsome prince, unlike her who hated talking to people, especially when its about the the boring business or laws of her country.
.
I wonder why he chose me to be his finacé....

Flashback 6 years ago

" Your highness please don't run around the garden too much! You might get lost you know!", said the young woman who's taking care of the two twin princess Lilaca and Lillia.
Lillia was sitting on her favorite white cushion playing with her dolls, while Lilaca was hopping around with a net in her hand trying to catch butterflies, it was one of the rare time in every 2 years that it was summer in Azurian. The air felt nice and warm as the people started to grow various types of plants, and hope that this summer will be long enough for the plants to mature so they can harvest.
" Whatever Mirian, let me get one of these butterflies first!", Said Lilaca running in to the maze hedge that was recently brought in.
" Your highness!", Mirian called out again, about to follow her.
" It's seems to be quite noisy here in this garden", Said King Leon walking in, with a young man and a younger boy walking with him.
The caretaker quickly turned to face the king and bowed, " Welcome back your Majesty, I apologize for causing too much disturbance", she said.
He gently waved her off, " It's okay Mirian, so where are my two little angels?"
" They are....", The woman turned back. Only Lillia was seen holding her dolls in her arms, she ran up to her father.
" Mirian! Father! Lilaca went in to the maze, and hasn't returned!", she said, about to cry showing that she's worried about her older sister.
" What?", the king said looking at Mirian and was about to yell at her.
" Your Majesty, please, there's no need to be harsh here... My brother and I shall go look for her to together, since we're in the middle of exploring the castle as well", Said the young blonde haired man.
" W-well, if you say so", the king replied, calming his voice.
" Lillia will look for older sister too!", Said Lillia, her cute round face showed determination.
Izana place his index finger on top of the princess's nose, " I'm sorry but you have to wait here for your sister, in case she finds her way back herself", He said, smiling gently...
It didn't take so much effort to have Princess Lillia to stay behind, since she'll just get herself lost in the maze too like her sister. Izana and Zen entered the hedge maze, for hours they walked around together, taking a turn from corners to corners.
" Where could she be brother?", Zen asked, feeling tired from the long walk.
" Anywhere..." he blankly replied to his younger brother...
" What's that suppose to mean!"
"What I meant is that she could be anywhere in this maze, I've heard that Princess Lilaca is a pretty carefree little girl", Izana explained.
" Hmmm.... seems like a troublesome one", Said Zen.
" Indeed, you're quite troublesome at home as well, Zen"
" That was when I was a kid! I'm 12 now brother!"
" Ahahah, right...."
As they walked for a few minutes more, Izana spotted something from afar. A small light blue figure lying on the ground under the hedge on the far end from where they stood. They went in closer to see it was Princess Lilaca, fast asleep.
" It seems that she had fallen asleep here", Izana said. Slowly lifting her up on to his back, the sleeping figure of the princess suddenly grabbed his hair, holding it tight in her little hand. To their surprise and relief Lilaca was still sleeping. Zen gave his brother a hand, as they tried to get her in place, in order to carry her properly. Her hand still, was grabbing Izana by his hair, and she slowly pulled it and mumbled something to herself.
The brothers returned to the king, the caretaker, and the younger princess who's waiting in the main garden, everyone was happy to see her unharmed, and when Izana was trying to put her down for Mirian to carry her back the sleeping Lilaca refused to let go of his hair... That was when her mumbling becomes clear enough, that the prince was able to understand.
" Stay, don't go....", she said.
To say it in such a cute voice, that mysteriously made Izana soften. He smiled.
" Yes, I'll stay with you" he whispered.
