Your POV

  "So, where were we?" I've made it back where Papa Snow and Queen Amelia were. They turn to seem relieved that I was alright.

  "I'm fine, no need to worry."

  "You never know with Casper my dear. He is like a slippery serpent. Very sinister." The Queen says. She gives me a quick hug and squeezes my shoulders when we break apart.

  "The Princess will be here soon to help with the arrangements, so we have little time for questioning. We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow when you have free time my Queen." Papa Snow states.

  "Oh, do stay to meet her."

  "Come on, Papa Snow. It wouldn't hurt to meet the Princess, maybe she can gives us some insight on Casper. They have been spending a lot of time together lately. Maybe she's been able to get something out of him without knowing it."

  "I highly doubt it, Casper is a clever man and very intelligent. He wouldn't slip up so easily."

  "Everyone slips up. It's like a game of chess, one wrong move and the whole game could change."

  Soon we hear footsteps echoing coming our way. We all look to see the Princess Serine herself being escorted by Levi, but there's a smaller girl, looks about my age, that's clinging to Levi's arm. Who is that?

  "Lili! It's so good to see you again." Serine and Amelia hug each other and I've a peck on the cheek on either side.

  "Serine it's good to see you again. I see you brought along your little sister as well. It's good to see you too Misty."

  "OH! AMELIA I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Misty lets go of Levi and runs to the Queen almost making her fall, but giving her a pain look seeing that she hit the bad shoulder.

  "Princess Misty, I beg your pardon, but can you be a bit gentler with the Queen. Her shoulder hasn't quite healed yet. And it still causes her some pain." The Queen gives me a sort of  'thank you' look, but that's not what Misty has on her face.

  "And who are you to tell me what to do?! Are you my mother or father? NO! You're just a soldier who takes orders! Who is your ranking officer?! What's your name and position? I'll have you removed from the military before you can even think of agreement to disagree with me."

  "I'm her higher up." Levi finally speaks up. 

  "Oh! Thank goodness. My sugar plum can put her out of her misery." Misty clings to Levi again, but he he removes himself from her and walks over to me and puts a arm around my waist and kisses my head. My cheeks flush red, making me embarrassed.

  "She's my girlfriend. And, pardon me, princess, but she's right. The Queen is still healing from the ambush we experienced not long ago."

  "You! You turned him against me! You uncivilized swine!"

  "Misty! That is quite enough!" The Queen and Serine finally stepped in.

  "Young sister, we've heard quite enough. This young lady was just telling you the truth in a polite manner and you turn on her like she's killed our mother. You also flirted with her significant other. If was me, I'd be furious with you. But she is showing her utmost respect to us and you are treating her like a piece of cotton meat. If I am to die or fall ill while holding the throne to our small district, I'll trust in you and Casper to take care of the people. The people come first and we must treat them with as much respect as we do anyone else. Am I clear?"

  "Yes, ma'm."

  "Now, do apologize so we may proceed with the preparations." Misty walks up to us and bows before us.

  "I'm am deeply sorry for my unruly behavior. I do ask for your pardon, miss."

  "Oh, uh, no no it's fine. I've been treated worse. Wait, did that sound wrong, cause that wasn't my intention." I'm a complete mess, I've never been apologized to before by royalty...I think I'm starting to get dizzy.

  "Its is completely not. I was unruly. I'll make it up to you somehow I swear to it!" Misty pleads.

  "No, no, its completely fine, you don't have to do anything."

  "Well let's get carried on shall we. We will be tasting cake first and I'd like some guest opinions on the matter." The Queen interrupts. We all nod and follow the Queen to the kitchen for taste testing. I feel my hand being squeezed when I look down, I see it's Levi's hand. I look up at him as he continues to look ahead. I smile a bit and squeeze back. He really does know when I'm feeling uneasy. He knows just how to handle it.

  "That was quite a delicious taste testing, but I'm afraid that's all me and Misty can do for today. We must head off. Mother is wanting me home so I can look for dresses." Serine says.

  "Oh, it's quite alright, my dear. Go home, try a few dresses and get some rest. You'll need your rest for your preparations. We still have a lot to discuss."

  "Of course." They all say bye as do we. We all go our separate ways back to our dorms, but before I could go I feel a hand grab my wrist. I turn to see Misty. Levi looks at me worried, but I just motion him to go on to our room. He looks skeptical, but my eyes tell him otherwise. He lets out a sigh and continues forward walking with Papaw Snow and the Queen.

  "Misty? What's wrong?" 

  "I just wanted to apologize again for the way I behaved earlier. It was uncalled for."

  "Misty, it's in the past. I forgave you and you should just forget about it. You don't need to worry yourself so much."

  "I know, but...when your a princess it's hard to find the right person out of love and not for business. That's why I clung to Levi when I first saw him. I thought he was the most handsome man I've ever seen, but I reacted terribly when I found out about you."

  "Look, if you're worried about finding the right person for you, you shouldn't worry so much. Misty you're still so young. You have plenty of time before you find the right person. You'll know when you see them. Your heart will tell you."

  "Thank you, Miss?"

  "(Y/n), (Y/n) Moon."

  "Miss Moon. I'll be going now. Bye.

  "Bye." I wave off to her as she rushes towards her sister and they leave the castle. 

She seems like she meant no harm, but what worried me is what I saw in her.

Misty's POV

  'Tch. What a sucker.' Since Serine has her own carriage and I have my own, I'll be able to deliver the message.

  Miss Moon is like a open book. She's too caring and kind. BLAH, it makes me sick. Although, she's really good at hiding...she won't be for long though.
