1 Chapter 1: Morning trip

" Your Highness" the female servant faintly said outside the door, with the intention of trying to wake up the young crown prince, she once again called out to the young man sleeping soundly inside the room when she couldn't hear any response: " Your Highness". Though, her voice this time seems to be louder than the first time. After some minutes of waiting, the female servant decided to open the door slowly and said " Your Highness, excuse my rudeness"

For the third time, she decided to call out to the youngster again " Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's time to wake up, the Queen is waiting." This time, finally, there are some movements of the youngster under the quilt, he suddenly sits straight up with his hair a mess, his clothes still wrinkled from rolling around the bed too much, his eyes barely even open revealing the slight icy blue iris underneath the long fluttering lashes.

" What...Queen Mother is waiting for me,...why?" Verhyn asks in a low voice. He still hasn't fully awake yet since today morning is quite chilly, the sun hardly appears today when the clouds are covering it. The female servant replied in a warm tone with her beaming face " The Queen is asking for your Highness to accompany her to the Royal Museum today" After hearing the answer from the female servant, Verhyn finally snapped to reality, he abruptly jumps out of the bed while fixing his clothes and hair to his normal appearance as best as he could. " You should have called me sooner Laina! Queen Mother is going to scold me again…" Laina left out a small chuckle and called out to other maids to help the youngster dress up. Several maids start walking into the room bringing in clothes, food, and other stuff to help the young Crown Prince get ready.

After 10 minutes, Verhyn finally dressed himself up formally and started dashing towards the front gate of the castle. There stood a fair lady wearing a light blue dress with a white fan, her black hair decorated in a bun and had a flower stick upon it.

She didn't wear any makeup but her lips have a slight tint of red plus her eyes had the blue colour of the vast ocean. Her appearance was quite casual for a noble lady that's ready to go out. When she saw her son walking down the stairs waving for her attention, she immediately waved back with her fan and there appeared a smile curved upwards. Verhyn saw the Queen Mother isn't mad with him, he happily walks towards his mother when suddenly the Queen raised her fan and slap lightly on his head scold him in a soft voice " You dare make this Queen Mother of yours wait for you, do you wish to receive punishments"

Verhyn raised his hands up to slowly push the fan away and replied to her in a sorry tone, " Mother, this child is sorry for his mistakes, beg Mother for his forgiveness" When people heard this angelic voice, they could forgive this person right away without hesitation, especially his light blue eyes with tears slowly building up, he really looked like an abandoned puppy.

But unfortunately, the Queen Mother won't get pulled into his charms, since she has witnessed this trick of him too much. She let out a small chuckle, her lips still curved upwards and she decided to stop the teasing and pat the youngster on the head that still looks like an abandoned pup.

" Come child, that's enough of your tricks, Mother isn't mad at you, let us go before the rain starts falling down." The Queen then walks slowly towards her palanquin and gestured to her personal maid to bring 2 umbrellas lest the rainfall upon them.

Verhyn still hung a low bow towards the Queen when he saw the light blue dress leaving, he hastily looked up and put upon a smile and walked towards his palanquin. His palanquin and the Queen palanquin were put closely together so the distance between them wasn't that great. Verhyn was about to reach his transportation but just then the Queen put her hands through outside the small window and pulled his sleeve and asked in a questioning tone: " Where's your nanny child?" " Ah, Laina won't come with us today, I asked her to pick me some peaches and oranges in our garden" Verhyn replied while stepping into his palanquin.

It didn't take too long for both the mother and the son to arrive at the Royal Museum. The sky today was weirdly cloudy, it was almost 8:30 in the morning but the sun was nowhere to be found. As soon as the young Crown Prince stepped out of the palanquin, everyone around couldn't help but watch him closely as if an angel had descended. Verhyn steps out of the carriage and begins to travel towards his Mother to escort her, his appearance was known to be 1 of the top 3 that could fascinate anyone no matter the gender. People from around usually admired him not only for his eyes but also his slender but firm body, silky black hair with light red lips and soft masculine jaws.

Despite what others said, Verhyn's blue crystal iris is the part of his body where he felt most confident. Putting aside those gazes that the ladies and other men put upon him, he slowly opens the door for his Mother and offers her his hands. The Queen looked very proud of her son's popularity, her lips once again curved upwards with what she had been hearing about her sweet little baby. Well, since the youngster inherited her and the king's genes, Verhyn looks supposed to stun everyone. Although she is quite satisfied, she still rejects Verhyn's offer.

" Mother?" Verhyn looked very confused as to this being the first time the Queen ever rejected his hands. He quickly hides his right hand still hovering before the Queen's hands. " Child, you no need to escort me, this isn't any grand occasion, let us just enjoy this normally." The Queen, still with her beautiful smile, slowly stood out of the carriage and followed her personal maid into the Royal Museum. Verhyn was still standing there dumbly but his hand already retracted, he snapped to reality when his Mother turned her face back and waved at him with her white fluffy fan. Verhyn then runs forward to the Queen to catch up with her.
