In the world of Elrios, the country Velder is known throughout the land, not because of its powerful military nor its economy, but the Velder's princess. She is known to be the most handsome princess ever in existence. Yes, that is correct, not beautiful but handsome. Needless to say, she's not happy with that title.
The princess in question is Elesis, who was currently hiding from her maids. She stuffed herself in her younger brother's wardrobe and prayed with all of her heart they wouldn't find her. She just needed to keep this going for two hours or so and she would be in the clear. That said, her heart almost stopped when the wardrobe was opened.
"Sis...what are you doing?" Sighed in relief, Elesis couldn't be happier to see it was her brother, Elsword.
"Shh! Not so loud, I'm hiding from the maid."
Elsword raised an eyebrow skeptically, but he figured out why immediately. The marriage. His sister was engaged to the prince of Elder and in tonight's party, they would have to meet each other face to face the first time. Or is it the party itself? She had always hated them anyway.
"Is it the party tonight? On the bright side though, for me at least, I get to see Raven. I wonder if he would spar with me later." He chuckled when he thought of the last time they had a good training, but then another possibility came to his mind "Or the marriage, if you hate the marriage so much, why did you agree to it in the first place?"
"It's the marriage. I did object, but apparently, I can't! Father has already proposed the engagement and the other side agreed! I can't back down, it will bring shame to our country." Elesis forgot to stay quiet and explained quite loudly, emphasizing her point.
"Alright, alright. I get it. You know you have to meet that guy already, but why are you hiding? Eventually, you will have to go."
To be honest, Elsword was genuinely worried about Elesis because Elder's prince had the reputation to be eccentric. Most royal family hadn't ever seen him, it's rumored that he locked himself in his room to experiment on machines. He silently prayed that his sister wouldn't end up married to a weirdo. But then again, his sister, despite being a girl, is said to be handsome.
"The dress..." Elesis mumbled quietly. "I have to wear a fancy dress and put on make up."
Elsword mentally face-palmed, he couldn't do that physically since Elesis would strangle him for his attitude. That was why she had the handsome princess of Velder title. She looked like him (self-praising intensified) and never put on anything girly. A lot of people mistook her for a guy because of that.
"Of course... The handsome princess can't ruin her image..." Elsword accidentally said that out loud.
Elesis felt something inside her snapped, probably her love for her brother. She ticked her tongue and glared so intensive that it burned like her fire.
"You want me to set your room on fire or what?" Elsword shook his head vigorously. "It's just that dresses are uncomfortable. They are hard to move around and make up makes my face feel heavy."
It was not that Elesis hates wearing dresses to the point of hiding in a wardrobe. She does hate them a lot but her personal maids tend to get overly excited whenever they have a chance to dress the tomboy princess up. It was painful. She pleaded (threatened) Elsword to stay quiet about her hiding spot. Ten minutes or so passed and Elesis started to feel drowsy from the lack of air. An hour more to go, she wasn't sure if she would survive another hour in this wardrobe. The door flung opened again and her heart almost stopped in fear of the maids had found her. Luckily, it was her best friend Rena, the captain of the combat division in the military.
"Rena, you almost make me died in shock."
"You would die from the lack of air if you keep hiding in there." Rena chuckled. "Elsword told me you were here." God damn it that boy. "And asked me to help you hide from the maids, he said that staying in there too long is not good for your health." Never mind, thank you brother.
