Recap
"Welcome to Tanbarun Prince Zen and special guest Stella, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let us discuss over tea while my maids will bring your luggage to your chambers."

'I'm a special guest?!'

'Some shits gonna happen...'

'...'

Stella's POV
'Why am I a special guest?....'

'Stay on guard.... I can't guarantee safety.'

'Yea...'

I was walking side by side with Obi as I observed my surroundings of this castle from angles to hallways, to windows, and possible escape routes. I just needed to make sure. Zen was walking next to Shirayuki while Mitsuhide and Kiki were diagonally to Zen's left while Obi and I were to their right diagonally. Prince Raji was leading us to a more private place to talk.

"So Raji, what country are you aligning with?" We all directed our attention to him as he seemed really uncomfortable...like really... Shirayuki on the other hand just wanted her question to be answer to create conversation.

"U-um... I d-don't know..." I sweat dropped and replied bluntly.

"How exactly did you not know?....seriously..." He seemed to have some kind of fake lightning of shock and regain his composure. 'He's a weird prince alright...'

"I-it was kept secret from myself and my younger brother and sister... I just know that they came from a very far land... May I ask of you... Why are you wearing a hood?" We all had stopped walking and in the inside, I was taken aback from his serious gaze. Obi was glaring at Raji weirdly which made him falter his serious gaze, but I let out a sigh and removed the hood.

My long turquoise hair fell from its place as it fell graciously onto my shoulders and past my knees. Smoothing out my straight long hair, I looked to see Raji's expression to see a huge bewildered and shocked face.

"H-ha ba-ba.... What?! Your hair is so rare...and long... It's beautiful..." His eyes were widen and huge from this unexpected sight and stared at me for a few seconds.

"Um, do I have something in my hair or are you plotting something idiotic?" He jumped backwards in shock and cleared his throat.

"Um pardon me, let's continue shall we?"

Obi and I were quiet as we walked with the group, but it was fine because it was comfortable for us right now...but Obi honestly seems a bit agitated... Shirayuki is chatting lovely with Raji and a slightly jealous Zen. Kiki and Mitsuhide are just smirking at the love triangle and mostly the jelly Zen.

We had soon finally made it to Raji's office, and I rather would say that it was decorated just finely. The space of the room is quite lovely along with the fact that he has a spot for a small lounge in the center. On the coffee table, there laid some prearranged tea and cookies.

Zen, Shirayuki, and I ended up sitting on the couch facing directly with Raji while our three attendees were behind us in different angles. Silence erupted the room as Raji was fidgeting a lot... Mostly because of the fact that all of our presences must be overwhelming....especially my dead aura of my guarded self. Well that is until the silence was broken by an entering.

"Prince Raji, sorry for my absence. I was attending with the younger two." 'He looks pretty fit.... He has a tall and strong build... He must be the prince's attendee...'

"N-no! It's f-fine! Sakaki! I presume you know everyone already but the special guest?" The attendee who I suppose his name is Sakaki (no, really?...) walked over to bow in front of me as I gave a confused expression.
