Is he really willing to change? Is he capable of changing? That's the question.

The night swayed along so fast in a blink of an eye. He kept throwing some jokes about stuff that I can't relate and all I did was laugh pathetically. But I can't stop thinking about this night, it was full of confusing scenes and tragedy. The moment he asked my hand in marriage shivered down through my spine- and they way he held onto my chance I gave and how much he promised on changing, but though I have these doubts on him that he'll return to his old once self.

We came back to the castle because I was dying to eat some food. He held my hand tightly as we got into the doors, the guards opened it and great timing- he was called to the aisle.

We seperated our ways, he promised that he'll come back for me after all this- I just agreed 'cause I promised I have to see Jonah.

I went to Jonah and found him there- taking all the muffin to his tray to serve for the people.

"Hey Jonah," I greeted right infront of his face.

"What the fuck!" He jumped- almost dropping the food on his tray. He quickly regain his balance to get the food in places. I laughed at his reaction. He gave me a scowl, but at the end he smiled and shook his head.

"Hm, chicken." I teased he rolled his eyes on me and flick my temple- and it hurts. "Hey! Ouch, that hurt, Muffin man."

"Do you know the muffin man?" He asked giving me an arch eyebrow. I blinked- and gave him a look. He shook his head and laugh it off. And I still didn't get it about what he's talking about. "Alright, I'm serving this muffins to the people. Bye," He added a little wave and disappeares through the crowds- serving awesome muffins.

I came back on the table- Zach wasn't still there and he's probably having the time of his life right now and I'm here, playing with the utensils as human beings. Ugh, I'm such a loser.

The big doors opened- the people around me stopped dancing and started talking. I wasn't sure who it is but there's this familiar feeling that echoed inside me, it was as if I have abondoned it. And yes, it was the person who I abondoned.

I saw the king looked ahead- he was in the middle of something on the isle. As I was about to turn back on my business, I heard someone gossiped.

"Isn't that king Avery? Queen's Y/n's ex?" Someone from behind me talked to her friend. My eyes widend in disbelief and- I thought he's not coming here. I snapped my head behind me to see the two woman looked at me but quickly look away.

"Ah! King Avery, glad you have arrive here," The king's voice echoed through out the castle. I didn't move, I was beginning to plan on going home. I couldn't be more surprised- I should have known. I thought that we couldn't cross paths anymore, but here we are.

The people started to dance again and the orchestra starts to play. I look at the two of them who seems to enjoy each other's company. I can't make out what they're saying but they're laughing hysterically. Ofcourse, Jack is handsome but terrible at being loyal. Usually, guys have perks yet worse in them. It's like- if you have this, you can't have this, or something like that.

I stood up and thought about Zach. Nah, he can go home by himself, I thought and I descended. I was trying my best to hide so I can't be caught by the king and asked why am I leaving so early and that it would take forever to find the right excuse that's believeable.

"Queen Y/n, why are you leaving so soon?" I froze. I stared down the floor- my posture rigid. I cursed under my breath, I slowly look behind me and smiled. The king arched an eyebrow at me, "I'm going home," I reasoned. Damn, please believe me. I chanted inside my head over and over. I felt my back is getting hot and my face is flushed red. "I still have to introduce you to someone," he was still frowning- I look behind him to see that Jack-ass was already looking at us with curiosity lingered into his irises. I briskly look at Daniel who seemed to not take off the eyes off of me. "No, I don't think- I'm going home," I insisted.

He pursed his lips, he caught a hold of my hand- he got a pleading grip on me. I looked at our hands and contemplated, I was going to deny it but he said something again.

"Come on, Princess. I would love you to meet my bestfriend." He spoke. Quickly, my eyes met Daniel's- I wasn't expecting that at all, I thought they're rivalries but- what? Bestfriends? Since when did they became friends? My mouth quiver when I begin to open it to say something, he was still looking at me.

"Fine," I muttered and nodded nonchalantly. Ofcourse, I don't wanna meet Jack, I just took pity of Daniel because he's what he called it 'Changing'. Daniel gleemed in happiness and quickly descended us towards Jack. An anxious feeling flood inside me- I swallow it down but it only came back and brought more anxiety.

"Jack," Daniel called. The whole time Jack was looking at us with his fake smile- I've been with him for too long and I know that smile. Grudge. I know I should have went home when I got the chance. I avoided Jack's burned gaze at me he'll think that I didn't said 'yes' of his love because I loved someone else, but I swear to God I never loved anyone the way that I loved him.

Yes, I have loved Jack for too long, it's as if I thought I'm gonna be attach to him. But even though I love him, I never gave my kisses or my body to him. I know he's this playboy king who's not loyal. Me and Daniel stopped infront of him, I quickly withdraw my hand from Daniel's and crossed my hands together over my chest and not gazing to look at him. Daniel look at me for a moment then back at Jack's.

"This is Queen Y/n of the North," Daniel introduces. I didn't said anything back but bit the inside of my cheek. "Um, Princess?" Daniel called me. I hesitated to look at him- he gave me a signal that I should introduce myself to Jack. I mentally wanna choke him to death, I look at Jack who looked at me with cold stares. I bowed, "Good evening, you're majesty." I coldly said. We both stared at each other, Daniel who's confused looked at us. I can feel the animosity he's given towards us- his jaw clenches and his eyes stares dagger. I'm not gonna loose, I stared back at him with fire beyond my eyes.

"And good evening to you too, You're royal highness," He gritted his teeth as he spits out the words. I know him too long that I noticed the sarcasm in his words. I wish I can roll my eyes infront of them but I can't, we don't wanna hurt Jack's little feelings right? Right.

A/n: this is for today, I'm gonna have a quick nappy nap nap. Happy new year!

Sorry if it's short. Luv you💖
