When Baekhyun awoke, the sun had gone down and the only light resources came from the fireflies dancing outside of the windows. Baekhyun hiss when he moves a bit. His head hurts, his whole body hurts. What had happened? Baekhyun didn't remember anything except for being attacked by that bastard, and what happened after that was a mystery.

"Baekhyun?"

He looked over to see a very tired looking Chanyeol sitting by his bedside. He had a look on his face that Baekhyun couldn't seem to read, was it worry? The thought of making Chanyeol worry about him made him hurt more than his injuries did.

"I'm alright," he suddenly blurted out, trying to sit up a little too quickly. His head ached as he attempted the feat and he ended up falling back down again.

"Hey you shouldn't get up, you got me worried, please dont do this ever again, you have no idea how worried I am when the servant told me you suddenly past out in the kitchen. Now rest a lot okay, you're still weak." Chanyeol leaned forward and kiss Baekhyun's temple.

Wait! Past out? He didn't know?

"Also I put out the butterfly bait tonight, so they'll probably come tomorrow when you feel well..." Chanyeol tried to reassure him. Baekhyun had completely forgotten about the butterflies, but that must have been why they always came there. The bait must have brought them closer to the cottage.

"Is that what you were doing today?" Baekhyun asked, not trying to get up again.

"It was part of it, yes. Father had me doing a lot of errands today, even though we were supposed to be vacationing," Chanyeol sighed, "I really just got here now."

"You---just got here now? Then who helped me get in here?" Baekhyun blinked, looking genuinely confused.

"You have no idea?" Chanyeol seemed just as confused, as if the answer was obvious to him. Baekhyun slowly shook his head, and Chanyeol looked even more taken aback, "The Princess helped you."

" The princess? Yuri? But why?!" Baekhyun exclaimed.

" It was not my right to tell, but she did wish to speak with you. Perhaps that's where you will find the answers you seek. Do you wish to see her?" Chanyeol asked, almost like he was the servant and Baekhyun was the master.

"A-Are you sure she wish to speak with me?" Baekhyun questioned.

"She did asked, but she assumed you would want to rest in peace consedering your still in a weak state," Chanyeol shrugged.

"I-I want to speak to her, but alone please..." Baekhyun decided, almost wondering if it was too late to take it back already. Chanyeol looked deeply at him, sighing either to let the princess have a talk with the fairy was a good idea at the moment..

"Alright, If that's what you want, I will go get her for you, tell me if you need anything," Chanyeol stood up, quickly pecking his lip and before Baekhyun could change his mind the prince was already gone. Baekhyun waited for what seemed like hours until there was a soft knocked on his door, followed by the princess poking her head into the room.

"Do you feel well enough to see me?" she asked, slowly entering the room.

"I do, although it should be me feeling honoured to be in your presence. You are the real royalty after all," Baekhyun pointed out.
