*Kingdom of the Merlin

The main gates can be seen being opened slowly as one of the guard quickly make his ways inside of the castle. His eyes was searching for exactly someone important before his eyes landed on the Queen that was walking towards him.

Stepping closer to the Queen, the guard bow down a little and regain his balance before uttering the words out.

"Your Majesty, did you see Prince Hendery anywhere?"

"In his room. Why are you asking me?"

"Something important, Your Majesty"

The Queen raise one of her eyebrows to the guard as she asked him with a little worried tone in her voice.

"What it is, Yangyang?"

The guard lick his dry lips while looking down for a sec and look up back at the Queen as the answer come out from his mouth shocking the Queen.

"Prince Alexender will marry Princess Ara around this month. I don't know the detail, but Winwin told me that Prince Lucas forced King Edward and Queen Eruca to send a letter about the marriage to the Howard Kingdom"

*Kingdom of the Howard

"Where are you these whole time, unnie?"

The princess look down to the little girl that was laying her head on her laps as she throw a small smile to her stroking her head gently.

"There's some works..."

The princess heard a loud sigh coming out from the little girl's mouth as she sat up and look at the grass under them with a dull eyes.

"Why are you always lying to me?"

The sudden unexpected question that come out from the little girl's mouth shocked the princess a bit. The princess was confuse about how in the world the little girl could sense her lies towards her. A little girl that was barely 7 years old who doesn't even know about the outside world can sense her lies?

"W-What do you mean, Lily?"

"Your hands twitch whenever you lies. I've seen it multiple times..."

The princess curse under her breath quietly as she close her eyes shut embrassed about how the 7 years old little girl can notice the slight ways she'd lies.

Inhaling a loud sigh, the princess move closer towards the little girl and put her left arms resting it on top of the little girl's shoulders. The younger one just look at the hanging arms on her shoulders solemnly without saying anything more.

"You'll know the truth once you're growned up, Lily. The world is not so beautiful the ways you look at them right now, there's so much unwanted problems and experiences you'll receive from. The once prettiest moment can turn into a whole disaster in any times. You'll never know what or when the right times was"

The little girl open her mouth only to close it back upon hearing what the princess beside her was saying. The little one was curious yet confuse about what was out there hidden from her eyes. How can the princess knows about all the outside world even when she'd a title as a respected one.

'Unwanted pains...Isn't it?...'

The little girl could've wanted to yell to the princess asking her about the question that was roaming inside her head but she couldn't. Not when the princess has just come back from only God's knows where.

"Are you...Truthfully okay?"

The princess force a smile to the younger one as she look up to the bright skies above them with a little tears brimming in her eyes.

"I wish I was once..."

*Kingdom of the Zeyzhde

The sound of the gates being opened can be heard from outside confusing the King and the Queen slightly. Never ever once the gate's guards will open the door without any commands from the King, the Queen or the main guard of the castle, Kun.

The main guard has just told them that he'll be resting for a while and will not come out for another two hours but there it was a sounds of the gates being opened. The King and the Queen stood up on their feets walking towards the front gates in no time.

"Just what happen--"

A slight gasp left the Queen's mouth upon seeing someone unexpected walking ahead towards the castle following behind her, the princess that was once with them, Princess Yeeun. The King widened his eyes in shock and quickly rush towards both of them with the Queen following behind him.

"S-Songyeon, is that y-you?"

The other Queen's head snapped towards the spoken one as a wide smile immediately appear displaying on her face. The Queen shake her head in disbelief and pull the other one into a tight hug squeezing her tightly.

"It's really you!! You're not dead!! You're alive!! Honey, she's here!! Here with us!! I knew it!! Junmin have to know about this!!"

"Wait wait wait!!"

The princess held back the Queen's arms from running inside the castle stopping her. The Queen turn back her head looking at the princess's hands on her arms before looking up back to her.

"Father can wait. We have something more important to tell you"

The Queen exchange glances with the King and turn back around looking at the other Queen's face with a slight confusion.

"What it is, Songyeon?"

The other Queen sigh a little as the princess pull away her hands from the Queen's arms slowly.

"I'm not good in words so that I invite someone to join us. She'll explain everything to the both of you"

The princess nodded her head to someone as they walk inside the castle with the help of the stick in her hands. The King and the Queen's eyes widened in shock upon seeing the old lady that was making her ways to them.

"Mirana?!"
