Once Personality Wins (Seventeen Jihan)

Lesson 3: Maybe this Kingdom Will be Difficult

His big brown eyes peered into mine as I stared down at a god sleeping on my supposed bed in my supposed room. He sat up on the bed, and I kid you not that his movements are the most elegant I have ever seen in a long long time. The way he picks himself off the bed to turn towards me.

And of course, I couldn't stop staring at him, no matter how hard I tried. His platinum blond hair that curved in all the right places. The curves enhancing his facial structure so much. His bangs pulled back but still framed his face to create an illusion of his cheekbones popping out a lot more than they already have.

His lips were a nice rosy pink with the perfect cupids bow. His nose was small and had a perfect outlining.

If I were to compare him to the people in the high-class area of Aleumda Kingdom, I wouldn't even put him on the same list entirely. He himself is the top 50 places on that list, then a different name would be on the list. Yeah, that is super exaggerated but not by much in my opinion.

His eyes, jawline, lips, everything was flawless and no matter how long I starred I couldn't find anything wrong. With the high-class people, I recognized the bad right after but I still couldn't with him. I don't know if my six sense is failing me but, I think he is just a hard one to read into.

"Are you still going to stare at me?" He asked and I almost melted into the ground. His voice was like honey, like music to my ears.

But I finally caught myself and brought myself back into reality. "Oh no I...um ah I think this is supposed to be my room," I said in a low voice as he yawned and stretched. My heart just couldn't stop beating and I hate that. Get your composer back, Joshua.

"No this isn't yours, this is my sleeping room." He said turning all defensive all of the sudden. He throws himself off the bed and in my face. "This is my sleeping room and I will not let you take it from me." Even though his words still sounded like honey to me, this honey came with a side of bees.

I slightly nodded as I moved out of the room and into the hallways and took a breath. I haven't realized that I was holding my breath this whole time. I shook that encounter off and walked away from that room wondering when I will meet the prince...the prince...PRINCE!!!!

It suddenly clicked in my head.

I ran right back into the room where the god-like male was already sound asleep like he hadn't just threatened me. I took a deep breath as I dared to shack him awake. Ok... maybe not the brightest idea of mine, but I guess I was desperate.

"Hey sleeping god, are you by any chance Prince Jeonghan?" I asked still shaking him back and forth.

"Give me peace. So what if I am?" He said shoving my hand away from his shoulders and turning the other way. I ran right to the other side of the gigantic bed and did the exact same thing.

"I know this isn't our official introduction, but I am your new royal tutor, Prince Jeonghan," I said with a smile.

He glared at me as he nodded and fell right back to sleep.

"Ok then, " I said giving up on trying to let the prince open up to me.

I looked beside me at my luggage that the maids must have placed in here. I pulled my bag off my shoulder and placed it on the vacant desk next to the windows that were bigger than they really should be. I started to unpack my stuff from my bag. The notebooks full or my observations of the town. My planner that I will soon have to start filling in with lesson plans after I determine how I want to improve this kingdom.

But something is telling me that the castle isn't the root of the problem in the center kingdom. I might have to rethink in my ways in how I am going to change this kingdom around. Using my usual methods only worked when it was the castle that was originally corrupted and the kingdom had to pay the price for that, not the other way around.

I sighed thinking of how much more work I will have to do and think about to finally have this world a little more fair for anyone despite their looks.

I was just about to move on to my luggage full of my necessities when I heard shifting coming from the bed. And not much longer I heard a voice.

"Hey tutor." I heard the honey voice say from behind me and got excited instantly leaving my luggage half opened to go next to the bed.

"Yes Prince Jeonghan, What is the matter?" I said brightly, I wasn't expecting to already have a real conversation with him. It took me a good week for the other princes and princesses to open up to me.

He turned to look at me for a split second and closed it as he ordered me, "Can you close the blinds, I can't sleep with all the sun shining in my eyes."

And like that my smile quickly faded into a frown as I did as he told me to do and sighed finishing up my unpacking as quietly as I can.

Once I was done with all of that I lowly said bye to the Prince and left the room, walking out the room without another sound.

I bumped into a maid as she was holding a really high stack of sheets. They were about to fall alongside with her, so I quickly helped her gain balanced and supported the stack of sheets before they fell on the floor.

"I'm so sorry about that ms." I apologized when everything was taken control of.

"No tutor Joshua I wasn't looking at where I was going." She said but I realized something.

"What how come you know how to address me already?" I questioned.

"The whole castle knows already. Once you tell one of our maids that you have a preference then that will travel around the castle in a short amount of time." She explained proudly of the social network the maids and other staff have with each other.

I nodded actually being amazed by that fact too, that would be super convenient in the future. I jotted that down in my imaginary mind notebook.

"Oh, and may I ask what I should be doing right now," I asked as she shrugged.

"I am not too sure about that but you can just go to the king's office and ask him directly, he would gladly tell you what to do." she smiled and told me the directions to the king's office.

This castle is getting weirder and weirder the more time I spend in it. Since when was it so easy to meet the king like this I don't understand Aleumda kingdom so far. Their prince doesn't outright seem cocky, their guards don't seem to lackluster, their maids are quick to point the way to the King's office. I rubbed my eyes just trying to imagine how the king will be like.

Haha, wouldn't it be funny if he was one of those unique souls that are super extra with everything they do? "There is no way that is true, Joshua, stop trying to fancy yours——"

There he was the royal king, the king of all kings, riding a chocho train with a ladybug right on the hood of it. "What in the world did I get myself into."
