Years passed eversince that night where the five soon-to-be knights found the witch in the Princess' bedroom, and eversince then there's always two guards guarding the balcony, the bedroom and the front door, the king was affraid that the princess might be harmed by who he suspected the Kings of Eastern and Western kingdom whom he defeated with the help from the Southern kingdom's King and army.

The Princess is now 3 years old, and she is the crown jewel of the kingdom, everyone loves her and want to protect her so that no harm may come to her.

Even though she's young, the Princess had already began some of her basic lessons, she's bright and brilliant and her tutors love teaching her.

She now had just finished her last lesson of the day, hand-in-hand with her governess she walk to the fencing room where the boys are practicing, "Princess, are you sure you want to wait for them here?" the governess asked, the Princess nodded and smiled widely, "yes!! I wanna wait for oppas!" she said while jumping excitedly, "okay Princess, I need to go now so be good! I'll see you later before dinner" the governess said while smiling gently before the Princess leap off to wait by the bench.

The boys' practice were somehow interesting to her, she would always sit on the bench whenever her lessons finished.

Soon the practice came to an end and with the last bow to the teacher, all six boys collapsed to the floor.

Seeing this as a chance, ___ came running to her brother and hug his lifeless sweating body, "___-yah!" Sanghyuk called excitedly, ___ giggled and lay down next to him, "oppa, can we go out to play in the garden today?" She asked with excitement, Sanghyuk pouted at his little sister and pinch her nose lightly, "I still have one more lesson..." he said sadly.

___ jutted her lips forwards and cross her arm, "aww, don't be mad" Sanghyuk said while patting his sister's head gently, "tell you what, as soon as our lesson ends, I'll come and play with you!" He said with a grin on his face, "me too! Me too!!" Minki yelled while running towards the two sibling excitedly.

Hearing that she'll have company soon made ___ crack a wide grin and nod quickly, "I'll wait for you!" Then she hopped out off the fencing room and to her own room.

She peek from her balcony and saw that the garden was empty, a perfect spot for playing with her brother, "are you going out to play, princess?" One of the guards that is stationed in her balcony asked, ___ looked at him and nod excitedly, "mhm! Hyukkie oppa will be there a-and also Minki oppa a-a-and-and everyone!!" She said excitedly while jumping, "whoaaa, princess you need to be careful!" The guard said as he hold her from falling down.

___ only grinned cutely before leaping off of his hands and took her coat, "I'll see you later Hakyeon ahjussi!!" She yelled as she took off with her coat and gloves in her hands.

Once she was out of the ice castle, she quickly put her gloves and coat on, "cold, cold" she whimpered softly to herself, her cheeks slowly became red once it made contact to the cold air.

___ looked around the spacious field that's filled with blue roses-the kingdom's flower.

The cold air wasn't uncomfortable for the princess, instead it was comfortable and nice.
