Suddenly, they heard a crack sound indicating someone was near them. That is the sound of woods breaking when someone step on them. Or rather, horse. All of them stay high on alert when they heard the sound of a horse. Its not coming from them.

They increased their speed slowly getting away from the sound.

The faster they goes, the faster the sound chases them. They hit the tack making the horse ran faster. When they look behind, a person with a dark blue cape on his/her own horse are chasing them. Taehyung shouted while riding fast "Intruders! Ready with your swords!" The person increases its  speed as now they were side by side.

However the distance were further enough from each other. Instead of running away from the human, Hyela changed her direction and head to the person's lane. Jimin shouted "No!!" But that doesn't change her mind.

When they collided, their two horses neighed really loud and stand making both of the riders fall onto the ground. Taehyung and Jimin halt their horses and jumped off with their swords ready.

Hyela was laying beside the person as they both stare to the sky after their fall. "Hyela" giggles. The two girls giggles at each other before turning into a snorting laughed "We should really do that again." The girl answered "That was my second horse for god sake."

The two male watched in confusion. "Ouh c'mon.. The royalties have more horses than you ever imagined." Taehyung took out his sword and held it to the girl's neck "Reveal yourself." Hyela grins "I wouldn't do that if I were you." She sat up and so does the girl.

The girl pushed her hood behind revealing a beautiful lady with her hair plated at the side and pinned behind, her other hair falls behind unplated.

Hyela saw how the two male mouth agape at the sight of the girl. She smirks before standing up. Holding out her hand for the lady to stand up, she spoke "Your highness, brother, I would like to introduce you to Miss Aurora and Aurora, this is Your Honorable Prince Taehyung and his advicer The Head of the Royal Council, sir Park Jimin my brother."

Aurora smile and lower her head while curtsy to the male.The smooth curtsies and the smooth tone of speaking. It shows that she was trained up to grow like this, as a lady. If other commoners, the awkward of doing a simple curtsy is not visible to the other's eye, but very visible to the eye of the royalties. Taehyung nod his head as a sign for her to stand back up.

Jimin faked cough trying to hide the blush on his face "That was an excellent ride." She return back the smile "Indeed." Taehyung slides in his sword back into the scabbard hanging around his waist. "You are an amazing rider Miss Aurora." He added "And a fast one." Hyela puckered her lips at the two boys.

Now they were praising her instead of herself "But not as fast as me." Aurora laughed "Yeah sure Hyela." Jimin raised his eyebrow. "Did you just call her Hyela?" Aurora look at Jimin and then back at Hyela. "Pardon me? Did i pronounced her name wrongly?"

That was a whole lot of awkward in a situation. They had been friends with each other since they could ever learn how to run and he's trying to tell her that all this consecutive time, she called her name wrongly? That would be a great shame for her to proudly say they were bestfriends.

Taehyung deep voice spoke "No,  peasants like you shouldn't call us by our name and instead with an additional- oof." He was pinned to the tree. Hyela blocked Jimin from jumping to Aurora. Their gap between the two are small enough that they could feel each other breaths.

"I know what I suppose to call her. You doesn't have to educate me."

He let out a breathy chuckle "I never expect a lady like you which is beautifully made is this disrespectful towards her own Prince." She stare deep into his ocean eyes "Do.not. Ever. Call. Me. A. Peasent." She pushed herself off him wiping her dress. Taehyung who was still leaning on the tree smirk "Aren't that title belong to you?"

"It does but i hate when people like you calls us like that." Jimin scowls behind her. He was held a captive by his own sister. "People like us? Elaborate." Hyela pushed Jimin away "Royalties." She curtsies to Taehyung as a sign of an apology for Aurora.

"We have been friends since forever and I never once call her a peasant. A subject, a citizen is fine but I warn you, peasant are a sensitive syllabi."

Aurora nods and then bow to them. "Pardon me for the lack of etiquette I've shown today. But as a future King and a high council member, you should know how to deflect your words as shown in the Duti-. Cause we as a subject want a better King to rule us."

Jimin took her token of apology and sighed. "You are the first person that dare to approach a Prince that way." She sheepishly smile "Im sorry Your Highness, Sir Park, that must've shook both of you out." He chuckled "Honestly don't think to do that at the palace ground. You'll get your head" He made a cutting sound "Chop chop."

The two girls laughed. Jimin lay out a huge mat and took out a basket of fresh fruits. "For the ladies.." The girls stare at each other before laying down on the piece of cloth. Taehyung and Jimin sat on it munching the fruits in silence while the girls chatted around. Jimin constantly laughed at their jokes and stories.

Taehyung however were a bit distance and sometimes did talk around when they ask but he kept his distance away. His thoughts began to get to him.

Though no one seemed to realize her mistakes, Taehyung did.

"But as a future King and a high council member, you should know how to deflect your words as shown in the Duti-. Cause we as a subject want a better King to rule us."

Did she just wanted to say the Duties and Obligations of Royal Personages?

How did she knew about the Royal Decorum studies? Only the princes and the princesses to be were taught by our special Royal Teachers with the compact studies. Even non of the palace people except the Royal Blood could learn about it.

Taehyung look at her who was laughing at Hyela. Who is she?
