"Seriously, he is such a spoiled brat!" You mutter to yourself as you trudge your way around the kingdom's local market. It was the morning of the first day of the meeting between the kingdoms.

And instead of being able to do your duties and help everyone in the palace out, Hyunjin had asked you to "get the reddest apple that you find in the market" You remember staring at the prince in disbelief, waiting for him to tell you that he was kidding.

But he didn't.

Which is how you ended up in the busy streets of the kingdom of Metallum 

"The Castle garden has so many apples but NO! Of course Hyunjin wants the reddest damn apple in the mark-"

"-HELP! THAT MAN TOOK MY POUCH!"

You stop mid-rant upon hearing someone call for help. You quickly scan around the busy market to see a hooded man screaming and pointing at a guy who was pushing people left and right, a pouch that looked like it was filled with coins in one of his hands.

 Lucky for you, the snatcher was running towards where you were so you didn't need to chase him.

"tch, amateur"

You mutter as you simply stretch your arm out right when the man is close enough to you. His neck comes in contact with your arm, making him stumble back.

As the snatcher tries to regain his composer from hit, coughing a bit from how you hit his throat and blocked his passage for air, you bend down to get the pouch that was long forgotten on the ground.

Your eyes go wide when you feel the weight of it.

You notice that the snatcher's about to run away but before he could, he grab him by the arm and twist it behind his back. As you were doing so, the guards patrolling the area had already arrived to the scene.

"Oh y/n!" Felix says with a small smile, waving at you before thanking you for catching the guy. "Tell sir Changbin to line up more guards around this street so that things like this won't happen again" You say with a small smile before looking for the owner of the pouch.

And just when you turn around, this really cute boy bumps into you.

"Hey um... thanks for-"

"-oh you own this yeah-"

"-um yeah he-" You're both reaching out and trying to give stuff all while trying to introduce yourselves and recover from the initial shock of being so close.

After a few seconds, you both realize how stupid you two probably look and burst out laughing.

"Let's talk in a less crowded area" You say with a chuckle.

You and the cute boy decide to buy an apple first which he picked. After buying the fruit, you both see a small street that was less crowded and decide to talk there.

"Sorry about earlier. I'd just like to say thanks!" The boy says bashfully, cheeks covered with a light blush.

"Don't sweat it! Just- next time, make sure your pouch is secure and all" You say, flashing him a smile once again.

"It's just that it's my first time out so I-"

"-oh..." You mutter with your eyes wide. A part of you was just shocked that a guy like him had never been out in a town while the other half felt bad that it was his first time yet the first memory was about his pouch being snatched.

"Well I'm sorry that you had to see the bad side of this kingdom before the good one. I'm y/n by the way! What's your-"

"YOUR HIGHNESS I FINALLY FOUND YOU!" You and the cute stranger turn your heads towards this very handsome man -who you assumed was a knight based on his clothing- who was running towards the two of you as he said "Your father would kill me if he found out that you roamed the streets alone!"
