Tzuyu pull her horse in front of the Palace of Catnedwil, she was about to enter the palace but there's a person that she always saw it.

She walks to her "Hi!" Tzuyu smiles widely to Sharon "Uh hi?" Mina stops from fixing all the bushes and she stood up "Who are you?" Tzuyu fix herself and she raise her right hand "Let me introduce myself I am Chou Tzuyu from the Realm of Onux"

"Onux? From the north?" Mina raises her eyebrows to make sure that this person came from North "Yes I cam from North and I am also a Highness"

Mina hurriedly bow to Tzuyu "Your Highness welcome to the realm of Catnedwil" Tzuyu just smile to Mina "Are you also a servant here? And what's your name?"

"Yes I am also a servant here your highness, I am Sharon" Tzuyu pick a flower and she gave it to Mina "Such a wonderful name Sharon." She smiles at Mina. Mina's attention diverted when she heard Horses that are arriving at their Palace, she saw Chaeyoung hop off the horse and she fix her hair again.

"Sorry, Tzuyu but I need to go.. I need to help the other servants" she hurriedly walks away.

In the meeting hall, the 4 realms of the kingdom are present.

"The war is coming," Jihyo said while drinking wine "Are you excited to kill us Chaeyoung," Nayeon asks the girl who is spacing out, she thinks that who is the princess of Catnedwil.

The King arrived and they bow as the king seat to his throne. "Is everyone here?"

"Yes your highness"

"As a gift of participation, I would like to give this to you" The 8 servants give the gift to each one of them "A gold and a ring?" jeongyeon said, the King nods "What's the value of this if one of us will die soon"

"You will take it or you'll leave it?" The king asks Chaeyoung and she kneels down "I will not accept this gift your highness" The king nods and the servant takes the gift back. Jeongyeon kneel "Your highness, I'm sorry for what my sister did"

The king clears his throat "I call each one of you because I want to say good luck to the battle. May the best person wins. The battle will be happening in the open area of Callainus boundary of Catnedwil and Nharian"

Chaeyoung rose up to her eyebrows "Callainus? That.. that place is existing?"

"What do you think?"

"Ha pabo" Tzuyu whisper that made the 8 highness looks to her "What did you say?" Chaeyoung furiously grab Tzuyu's Blue silk dress "Chaeyoung stop!"

The 8 of them looks to the girl who suddenly enters the hall, the king's eyes widen but he needs to act calm.

"Sharon?" both Chaeyoung and Tzuyu said in unison.

Chaeyoung looses the grip while looking to Tzuyu. Tzuyu, on the other hand, she fixes her dress.

"Servant what are you doing here?! We didn't call you!" The king shout. Mina kneels down "I... I am sorry my highness" she hurriedly go out.

"So we both know who she is" she chuckled, Chaeyoung left the room and she stops when she reaches the door "Are we done?"

"Fine, you may go" Chaeyoung opens the door.

She runs outside to find Sharon but she didn't saw her.

She walks to the back of the palace and she saw Mina sitting while facing the view of the kingdom of Catnedwil.

Chaeyoung approaches her and she sits beside Mina "The king shouts at you, are you okay?" Mina looks to her side "You are here, you must be inside because the king wants to talk with the highnesses of each realm"

While looking at the foggy view where the mountains can be seen Chaeyoung replied to Mina "I don't like the way he thinks." She exhales "I think her daughter is suffering right now because she must not expose her self in public"

Mina smiles because Chaeyoung is concern to the princess, little did she know, the one that she is talking with is the Princess of Catnedwil.

"What if you met the Princess of Catnedwil here in the palace?" Chaeyoung looks to Mina "Sharon you know I don't have any idea what does she looks like, what is her name, even her attitude. But if I have the chance to meet her I will court her and make her mine."

"Do you only want the throne that's why you'll marry the Princess?"

Chaeyoung laughs "Of course not, I'm gonna marry her because i.."

"You what?"

"I want to marry her. Love is love you'll learn how to love that person as time goes by."

Mina felt happy because she wants Chaeyoung.

"Chaeyoung?"

"hmm?"

"What if I'm the Princess of the Catnedwil?"

Chaeyoung looks at her and she laughs "It's okay to dream! No one can stop you" Mina also laughs "You know what I want to escape here" Chaeyoung worriedly looks to her "Why? Did they not treat you right?"

"maybe?"

Chaeyoung immediately stood up and she let out her sword "Hey chill chaeyoung" Mina softly laughs. "It is just I want to be free, I want to explore my self more. Chaeyoung"

"I also wanted to escape, Sharon. I don't like being like this, I also want to live normally and spend my life with the person that I like"

"I get comfortable when I'm talking with you" Out of nowhere Mina said that to Chaeyoung, She smiles that her Dimples are visible in Mina's eyes that she wants to poke it.

"Me too."

"Chaeyoung?!! Chaeyoung where are you?!"

"That's my sister I need to go home now, thanks for the small talk Sharon"

Mina stood up and she bows to Chaeyoung "Take care my Highness"

While running Chaeyoung looks to Sharon and she waved her right hand. 

When Mina goes back to the palace her father hugs her "Mina I'm sorry that I shouted at you" Mina smiles to her father and she nods, she understands that her father must do that so that no one could notice that she is the Princess of Catnedwil. 

Mina saw that there is a box on the floor "Father, whose gift is this?" Her father looks to the gift and he picks it up "Oh this? This is for Chaeyoung but she declines it" Mina take the gift "Father, I'm gonna keep it" Her father agrees. 

"Perhaps do you like Chaeyoung?" 

"What?! Father? No of course not" 

Her father laughs "let's see if she will survive the war."
