When the four of you reach the dining area, you all notice the two new additions to the group. There was a new prince and knight. Each of the children were seated while their knights stood beside from a respectful distance.

Seungmin headed to kitchen first while Hyunjin and Jisung took their seats as you and Minho stood beside them. Hyunjin decided to wait for his best friend to return before he began speaking and after a few moments of awkward silence, Seungmin finally emerged from the kitchen and sat beside Hyunjin.

"Well then. Let us all introduce ourselves." Hyunjin formally announces before getting up to start with his introduction.

"I am Hwang Hyunjin, prince of this Kingdom and this is my knight Song y/n. If you all need anything, don't be afraid to approach either of us" he says with a small, slightly forced smile. You try not to chuckle at the situation, knowing how much Hyunjin hated formal events.

"A prince and a female knight? How scandalous" The newly arrived prince says with a little smirk, catching everyone's attention. Now all eyes are on him. Everyone hears his knight sigh before the latter steps up a bit, apologizing for the rude comment before introducing him and his master.

"My apologies. But this is his highness Park Jihoon. And I am Lai Guanlin, at your service"

Afterwards, the only girl who is seated, the rose among the thorns, suddenly gets up and introduces herself. "Hello, My name is Song Yuqi and this is Yeh Shuhua my knight. Honestly speaking, I was shocked but happy to know that there were female knights in this kingdom as well" The girl says. As she speaks about the female knights, she turns to face you, flashing you a small smile which you return.

After Yuqi's seated, the next prince gets up and introduces himself, flashing everyone an eye smile that you swore made your heart melt. "Hello, I'm Lee Jeno and this is Na Jaemin. Thank you for welcoming us here"

Towards the end of Jeno's introduction, your eyes couldn't help but trail off at the bubbly ball of energy that you met at the market earlier, who just got up, ready to introduce himself.

 "Hi everyone! I'm Han Jisung and this is my knight Lee Minho! I've never been out of the palace so please excuse my curiosity! I hope that we all get along well" He says, flashing a bright smile. 

A smile unknowingly forms on your lips as well upon seeing how bright and happy he seemed.

"Since all introductions are done, let me give you all a tour around the palace" Hyunjin says. And one by one, everyone gets up and heads out, following him and yourself out.

"This is such a beautiful kingdom" Yuqi says as she makes a flower crown in the gardens. Right now you found yourself with the two girls, seated on the grass as Yuqi told random stories about her kingdom. 

It was fifteen minutes in the tour when the princess couldn't bring herself to leave the garden, too amazed by the sight so she requested to stay. And when she did, Hyunjin ordered for you to stay with her and Shuhua and assist them if ever they needed anything.

"Beautiful like yourself your highness" You praise, making her and Shuhua giggle.

"Please, call me Yuqi! In our kingdom, we actually don't speak formally to each other which is why I'm kind of having a hard time adjusting to everything here" She admits with a small chuckle, making you smile.

"You're allowed to roam without your knight?!" Jisung asks in awe. Right now, him and the other princes were still exploring the other parts of the kingdom.
