"We can separate here now..."

"Are you sure? That way leads you to the palace already..."

"Yeah... I-I work in the p-palace..."

"Really? So that means that you already saw how the Hidden Princess looks like? Is she beautiful?"

Mina smiled at her cuteness.

"I did saw her a lot of times already, but you know how I can't tell you anything about her, right?"

"Right. I'm sorry... and for the wound on your knee—"

"It's fine. Partly my fault as well. I hope this isn't the last time we'll see each other— Cloud."

Mina gave her a warm smile before turning her heels around and running as fast as she could to go back to the palace.

Tzuyu was then left confused on how the latter knew her nickname but she remembered that it was embroided on the clothes she's wearing right now.

Princess Mina being back in the palace again, makes her kind of regret to came back so early but she can't blame herself, she might get caught if she stayed longer outside the palace.

She already even lost count on how she tried to escape but soon retreated as she felt guilty for sneaking out and it's more dangerous now that her Father added more guards around the palace.

"You seemed down lately..."

Her thoughts were cut off when her Mother entered her room and joined her from reminiscing the view on her balcony.

"I just... wanted to know what it looks like outside... I've been in the palace my whole life like I'm in a dungeon or something..."

"You know that it's for your safety, right?"

"I know... but why can't I still go out when people don't even know about my looks? I could always tell them a different name..."

"You really wanted to explore the outside, huh?"

Mina slowly nodded before looking away, she couldn't do an eye contact with her Mother.

"I'll convince your Father to let you atleast for once..."

A small smile appeared on Mina's face as she immediately hugged her Mother, thanking her continuously.

Dressed in a disguise wearing clothes from the Chaedovien Empire, Mina happily skipped her way to the place she'd been longing for.

She pleaded their guards to stay a few meters away from her so that people won't notice, if ever they'll encounter one.

Reaching the Shaiden Falls, her mouth was agape in awe and satisfaction on how beautiful and mesmerizing the place is.

"Your highness, please remeber that you can't go any further from that big rock right there."

Mina frowned but soon slowly nodded on the instruction.
