(Intro for Myoui Mina and her right-hand woman)

Mina is a princess of the Myoui Kingdom who likes gardening, She even has her own garden in the palace, but she prefers to plants fruits rather than herbs.

Almost every day she will tend her garden while getting assisted by her servant. In case she will be very busy the next day, she will ask her assistant, Nayeon, to supervise the servants to do the gardening.

Nayeon is her personal bodyguard who has fight ability as pro as the assassins, at the same time she also gives advice to Mina like what eunuch do.

. . .

On one of the busy days, where Mina will go to accompany her father to pay a visit to one of his allies, They traveled around 50 kilometers by horse riding to the neighboring kingdom. The King got his face covered and doesn't wear any shiny gold dragon robes like how usually King wear, just some fancy dark black robes, and Mina wear dark blue robes.

So the citizen won't get hyped or unnecessarily crowded.

[ Town ]

The Myouis has arrived at the allies Kingdom, they explore around the town, relaxing while slowly riding the horse, they could see a lot of stalls selling fabrics, herbs, fruits, meat, etc.

There is something caught Mina's attention, it's a fruit she never saw before, the colour is red, dark red, light red, the variation of red. The size is not big, it's slightly bigger than grapes and smaller than apples.

Mina asks permission from her father to explore the town, King Myoui just let her go and asked five warriors to follow her.

The day is still bright, Mina did explore around while riding her horse, and she keeps seeing the red fruit whenever she saw a fruit stall.

The curiosity starts to make her wonder,

A grown-up girl wearing a farmer's hat blindly running towards Mina direction while holding a basket in her hand.

"Watch out! Princess!" one of the warriors shouted.

Mina immediately pulled hard the rope that made the horse lift its front legs up high and scared that girl, "waa" The girl fell down as her knees go weak. Mina swiped the rope to the left so the horse leg will land on the other side.

The girl's hat slipped from her head but Mina's eyes were focused on the girl's basket which is full of red fruits.

that red fruit again??

Oh my god, I almost killed someone, I shouldn't let my mind off while riding a horse

Mina jumps down from the horse and hurriedly runs and squats beside her to help the girl up. "I'm very sorry! Did you get hurt?"

The girl hit her own forehead several times, "I'm so careless, I'm totally fine, I'm so sorry!"

"Let me help you" Mina help her get up, and felt something different from the girl's clothes material.

It's not a material that anyone can get, But it really looks like a normal citizen outfit.

Rich farmer?

The girl smiled, "Thank you!" she quickly wears her farmer's hat back, bowed, and runs away.

"Wait!! wait..." Mina wanted to ask about the red fruits, but the girl already runs off.

What a pretty farmer

Mina unconsciously smiled while watching the girl runs away in hurry, seconds later Mina cleared her throat as she realized it. Turn her back, gets on the horse, and starts to look for a fruit stall nearby.

[ Fruit stall ]

There's plenty of fruits displayed on the boxes, and Mina is only curious about that little red fruit.

"How much is this?" Mina pointing at it.

The seller notice the Royal attire from that close distance, "You can take as many as you want, my lady,"

"Please don't treat me as the royal, just treat me like any other buyer" Mina took a pouch of the red fruits and keep it inside her robes, then gave her a pure silver coin that was worth the whole fruits.

the seller panicked, "Th- this is too much, you should take more, my lady,"

"a pouch is enough for me, keep the change" Mina smiled politely.

"Thank you so much! woooa so humble, please come again, my lady" The seller bowed several times as Mina leaves.

[ Royal Guest dinner room ]

"What took you so long, my daughter?" The King smiled when Mina pop into the room.

Mina walks and sits beside her father, "I bought some fruits, father, we don't have it in our palace, I want to try to plant some at home"

King Myoui chuckles, "Yeoksi, Mina the fruit lover"

Not long after, King Son come and greet us and he did bring his child too.

"Welcome King Myoui! You're still as early as usual, hoho"

They both chuckle and formally greet each other.

Mina tilted her head, her face is full of confusion, looking at the princess from the Son Kingdom.

She looks familiar

"Today, I bring my mostttt beautiful daughter~ hahahah, perhaps you might be interested in finding a compatible prince for her" King Son jokingly said.

The princess lower down her head and bow, "It's an honor to have both of you here, please let me introduce myself, I'm Son Chaeyoung the daughter of King Son, andd welcome to the Son Kingdom I hope you enjoy and have a good time here"

Mina was puzzled and blankly staring at her when she introduces herself,

Isn't she the farmer I saw today?

She is....
