A Princess Pride is her Title : The Most Beloved Princess

Prince Worry

“Princess! Did he do anything bad to you?” Zeo asks and grab her shoulder.
His face is paler than usual.

“What? Ahahaha. Relax.” She said rubbing Zeo’s head. “You are more likely to be a pedo than Randy.”
Emerald smiles.

“Eh?”

Jess pouts at the corner with his arms cross together.

Emerald looks at him.
“Randy is someone who I can talk to with any reserve so I….”

“You can also do that with me! Talk to me more. I will listen to you. What ever you have to say!” Zeo said kneeling in one knee as he looks at Emerald.

Emerald rubs his cheek again.
“See. You really looks like a pedo.”

“…….I don’t know what that is but I will be a pedo if Princess needs me to!”

Emerald shakes her head.
“No. I don’t need someone that may endanger me.”

“…..Eh?”

Jess sighs.
“Princess, please open your heart for us too. To us, you are not only an employer but some one we cared for.” He said and grabs the flour sack.
“Let’s go Zeo. Those orders won’t make themselves.”

“….okay!”
Zeo stood up and went to his place.

Emerald turn around.
Her face is blushing red.

“Thanks.” She said and walks to the door.
Then she turns around.
“I…me too..I feel the same.”
Jess blinks while Zeo smiles.

Walking to the palace garden. Emerald saw Yosef sitting there alone with his head lowered.

“Prince Yosef.”

“You!”
Yosef stood up and stare at Emerald.

“Ummm? Huh?”

“…….What did you do?”

“…..I just walk and greet you.” Emerald feels startled.

“Not that. But to everyone!”

“Excuse me but what?”
sHe shakes her head in confusion.

“You don’t deserve it! You are not born like us. So how come? How?”

Emerald frowns then she pulls Yosef hand and make him sit down.
She pats his hand slowly.
“Come down. Everything will be alright. Do not rush it.”

“………”

“What happened to you? Why do you look like that? Have you eaten?”

“……I…I really wanted to be a King.” Tears slowly fell his eyes. “I thought it will be enough to just be the fifth Prince and just be contented to this position…I didn’t know….I didn’t know that…..”

“Prince Yosef?”

“Do you know the tradition of the Royal family kingdom?”

“The tradition? Is there one?” she tilts her head.

“After the King ascend. The other princes will not be able to live in the palace. They will go all over the country to oversee things.”

“Ah! Yeah. Barely. It is popular story but I don’t know much about them after that.”

Yosef looks at Emerald.
“There’s no..’after that’.”

Emerald frowns…then slowly her eyes open wide.
“What?”

“I don’t want to die!”

“Hey. Hey wait..What?”

“You have to help me!” Yosef grabs Emerald’s shoulder.
“You have to!”
