"Good morning princess Murai!" I heard Haru, my maid, exclaim excitedly as I tried to hide under the covers "Come on princess it's your birthday, try to cheer up" She said patting my head as I sighed.

"It's still early in the morning Haru" I groaned as she chuckled pushing the covers from me.

"But you have to get ready for the party the King has prepared for you and your sister" She said and I sighed nodding at her.

I lifted from my bed and neatly folded the sheets I've been sleeping in and also the covers. In the past Haru would always make a fuss about it, but I told her that I was okay with doing it. Besides, I really don't like others living my life, or doing things for me.

"So princess are you not excited?" Haru asked me as she picked out my kimono for the day, well, at least until the party. It was a light purple kimono, with a beautiful long purple bustle sash wrapping my small waist, and the skirt part of the kimono was a dark blue. It was all made of a super light fabric, after all, heavy kimonos are made for special occasions.

"Not as excited as Yona might be" I said as both of us laughed "And Haru you know you can call me just Murai" I reminded her and she nodded.

Haru was this beautiful elder, her long gray hair was pulled in to a bun, and her silver blue eyes shinned almost as bright as her smile, she seemed to be in her fifties. She's been taking care of me since I was a baby after my mother died.

"You know what could happen if the King saw me calling you only by your first name" She said and I sighed "But don't worry Murai, when it's just the two of us, I'll be just Haru and you only Murai" She said and I smiled.

"If you need anything you know where I am Murai" She said with a smile and I nodded as she left.

I put on my dress, and combed my hair. I didn't bother to put any makeup, or put anything in my hair, I just sprayed some perfume on myself and hid my favorite and only dagger inside my kimono.

I was walking down the halls trying to find Yona, I couldn't help but to feel embarrassed at some comments the younger guards where saying. That's when I felt a strong hand holding my own as he pulled me closer to him, it was someone I'm afraid I knew to well. He pulled me in to his chest and held my waist, glaring at the younger guards as we walked down the halls.

"You didn't have to do that Hak" I said and he looked at me with a grin.

"Oh so you liked that those men were checking you out?" He asked me as I crossed my arms arching an eyebrow.

"Oh so I can't take care of myself now?" I asked him as he took my hand it to his and pulled me closer to him.

"But don't you like having someone to protect you princess?" He whispered teasingly in my ear as I pushed his chest away from me.

"Gosh your such a flirt" I mumbled which caused him to laugh.

"Oh am I now?" He asked as he held his Hsu Quandao (A/N: Hsu Quandao is what Hak's weapon is called) against his shoulder pinching my cheeks slightly "Anyways I was doing my job" he said carelessly.
