"Princess! Princess?! Where is she? It is time for her lessons."

Ever since the princess turned five last year, she been playing alone here in the Clover garden, with guards of course. She spends half of her day here and then golo back inside the castle for her lessons and to have a meal with the King.

The King who is still a lot busier with his work, let the princess play outside as long it is here in Clover garden. It seems that the garden is blessed by the Diamond seal bearer, so anyone with ill intention will not be able to get in.

I continued walking through the big bushes. In the midst of the plants is a enormous round bush. Outside of it, it looks like just an overgrown bush, but inside is quite hollow that can fit give men. The princess made this place her little hide out and have her tea time and naps here.

As I opened the bush quietly, a small girl is sleeping peacefully on the top of the dried leaves. I tried to dread in carefully to not wake her up but in the dark corner, a pair of Scarlet eyes lit up.

"Intruder!! Kahhh intruder!"

"Eh?!! Scarlet?! Sshh!!"

I tried to quiet down the raven but it was too late. The girl lazily rub her eyes and stretch out little by little.

"Uncle...."

"Princess, please call me Kaleid or Butler."

"Is it time for lessons, uncle?"

One thing for sure the princess inherited from her parents, stubbornness.

"Yes, please go back inside the Castle and meet your teacher."

"Hmmm... Is it math today?"

"It is art for today."

The little girl's red eyes lit up and stood up. She looked down and pat the leaves out of her dress.

"Let me fix your hair, princess."

"Thank you, uncle!"

When the princess was a baby, she smiled less and less but ever since she met the weird masked boy, she started smiling more. I and the King was against of their little friendship because the boy is the son of the weirdest man in the Empire, however, seeing the princess smiling with the boy, we cannot separate the two.

"Is your friend not coming today?"

"Yes! Not on art days! He doesn't like art or music."

The boy who is supposedly only seven right now, uses the portal exclusive for the royals as he please and visits our princess here in Spade almost everyday.

The first time I met the boy was on princess's first birthday party. The King and the princess escaped the ball and took a refuge here in the Clover garden. I was looking for them and found the King chasing a boy wearing a mask. It seems that the King did not appreciate that the boy gave the princess a gift.

I fixed the big jeweled hair clip on her hair. It stays perfectly on the side of her head and shines as red as her eyes. The rubies are shaped as dragonflies. According to Benjamin, it was the first time the boy asked him for something, so he made sure to win the accessory from an auction, and According to him, he had to use his family's entire annual budget. He was complaining for a while that he is a prime minister but he is broke as hell. Like his son, the creepy man uses the portal and steal the king's alcohol and sweets with the excuse of spending his allowance for the millenial princess's crown.
