"Oh mother, do I have to get married so soon?" You say as you enter her room.

Your mother sighs, "Of course you do Y/n.
You're the future queen of this kingdom. We have already talked about this."

You pout, "I'm only 18," you say as you roll your eyes, "and besides there's better things to do than ruling a kingdom."

"Now now Y/n, if you really don't want to be queen, you can wait till your brother Hwanwoong is old enough and you can pass the crown to him." She says as she walks up to you and puts her hands on your arms.

"Mother, Hwanwoong and I are twins," deadpan. "But you're older by 36 minutes." She smirks.

You sigh, "You make no sense mother. Oh, and why can't Youngjo be the king instead, he's old enough." You say as you cross your arms.

"Well your brother has another kingdom to take care of." Your mother says as she puts her arms down.

"Ugh, why did I have to be born first, why couldn't it be Hwanwoong." You continue whining in your head.

"Y/n! Y/n! Are you listening to me?" You mother says as she snaps in front of your face. "Oh yes of course I was, but can you repeat it again." You say as you innocently smile.

You mother scoffs, "I said that Youngjo is coming to visit us for a few months." You smile at your mother's words, you haven't seen Youngjo for two years!

You clap your hands in joy, "How long till he comes?" "In a week or so darling. We are going to have a beautiful party for his arrival too!" Your mother says in delight.

"Does that mean cousin Keonhee is coming?" You say with a bright smile. "Of course he is! This is going to be like a family reunion." Your mother says as she firmly nods.

"Ooh I can't wait!" You say as you feel bubbly inside.
~~~                                                                      ~~~
A week later...

A week has passed and you are currently getting ready for your brothers arrival. "And this, this is going to be the dress you will be wearing." The butler and your teacher, Seoho, says as he pulls out a beautiful pink dress from your closet.

You gasp, "Oh Seoho this is beautiful! I can't wait to put it on!" You say as you feel the texture of the dress between your fingers.

Seoho nods, "Now go sit down Y/n, so the professionals can do your hair and makeup." You nod eagerly and quickly sit down.
~~~                                                                      ~~~

You stand there in front of the body mirror and appreciate the work everybody has done for you, "This is so wonderful."

"You're a princess, Y/n. Of course it's wonderful." Seoho says as he smiles proudly. You nudge Seoho's shoulder and he chuckles.

"I'm going to my father, I want to know when Youngjo gets here." You say and Seoho bows, "Of course princess."

You nod and walk out of your room, walking through the empty halls of the palace, passing a few maids every now and then.

You come near the throne room and walk in, seeing your father sitting on his throne. You look around and see many guards standing around the room.

"Today, we are having a party, which you all know of. The security must be stronger today, because of this party! You must keep the royal family safe today!" Your father says loudly, to all the guards.

"Yes sir!" The guards yell, in sync. "Good, now go back into your positions!" Your father says, "Yes sir!" They scream once again and bow.

They look up once again but they see you, resulting to them bowing once again. You walk to the front of the throne and bow slightly.

"Father," You say and smile up at him. "Oh if it isn't my lovely daughter, what is it?" He says as he gets up from his throne.

"I just wanted to ask, when will Youngjo get here?" You ask with an eyebrow raised. "He should be here in a few minutes," Your father says as sits back down. "Hello father, and Y/n." Says a voice and look to see your brother.

"Or right now." Your father says and you laugh. "Brother!" You screech, and quickly run up to him, holding your dress up a bit so you won't trip.

You pull him into a big hug and you feel him wrap his arms around you, "How have you been Youngjo and where is your wife, Minji?" You say as you pull back from the hug.

"I'm very good, and Minji is with mother right now." He says. "I'm glad you're home now Youngjo, you can keep an eye on your sister. She can get a bit crazy, as you know." You father says and sighs at the end.

You feel slightly insulted, "Excuse you father, but I've never done anything crazy," you scoff.

"Remember the time you tried to sneak out, but of course you failed because of my amazing security." Your father says as he playfully puts his hands on his hips.

"Where is Hwanwoong?" Youngjo suddenly says, in wonder. "Oh he's probably at the party already." You say.

Youngjo nods and starts thinking, "Oh I forgot to tell you father," Youngjo says as he smiles widely, "I have brought you a present, I guess you can call it."

"What is it my son?" Your father says as he leans in, in curiosity. "I have brought two of my many finest guards for you."

Suddenly, two guards walk in, "Oh my goodness, I've never seen somebody so good looking in my entire life."

"Hello, your highness, my name is Kim Geonhak." He says and bows deeply. "He has a deep voice too! I think I just died."

The other one starts to introduce himself, "Your highness, my name is Son Dongju." He says and he bows deeply just like Geonhak.

They look at you and bow also, "Your highness." They say at the same time. "Oh! This is a wonderful present Younjo!" Father says as he gets up and walks over to hug Youngjo.

"You know? Y/n might need a personal guard nowadays since she is going to be queen soon. I could choose one of them!" Your father says as he stares at the two guards.

Your eyes widen in shock, "I don't think I need a guard, father." You say as you put your hands up and shake them.

"Don't be silly Y/n. And besides maybe he can stop you from getting in trouble." Your father says as he laughs. "B-but, you ca-," Your father interrupts you, "But nothing Y/n! Lets forget about this and let's go party. The guests must be waiting." Your father says as he clasps his hands together and walks out of the throne room.

"You know, father is kinda right. You do need a guard." Youngjo says and you glance over at Geonhak and Dongju.

"Yeah yeah, lets just go." You say tiredly.
