"Nice trick. Won't work."

Ananya said with a smirk.

Frankly speaking, her heart skipped a beat when he said "Princess".

Her magic never failed her and there was no way he could remember that night's roof-top incident.

"How did you guess?"

Jungkook asked, shocked by her reaction.

"There is no way you could recognize the Princess,"

Ananya said and gave him a smile with relief.

"True."

Jungkook nodded.

For a while, he was sure he got the right one. Her name was similar to the Princess's and she was beautiful.

On top of that, she had already stolen his heart earlier tonight. Though all he remembered was just a glimpse of her face before he blacked out, he remembered the fluttering of his heart.

He woke up in his room and it felt like a dream. But he remembered her.

Out here on the streets, when he saw found her smiling and laughing as she talked to the locals, his heart skipped a beat as he kept melting into her smile.

But when she used Earth Magic, Jungkook realised something was off.

A noblewomen never needed to learn such magic, nevertheless use it on a Royal carriage to save her face.

She was hiding something.

"So," Ananya sighed and asked,

"Who else fell for your trap?"

"Well," Jungkook cleared his throat and said," There is Noblewomen Chelsea and Noblewomen Kathy."

"Really?"

Ananya asked playfully

"So who do you think is the Princess?"

"Noblewomen Kathy seems more likely."  Jungkook reasons,

"She was flustered,  shy and didn't even give a reply! She bowed, left and like an hour later she says that she may be the Princess."

"Yeah! As if!" Ananya huffed and immediately realised what happened.

"You are good!"

She said to Jungkook as

she realise his trick.

"You're doing this to everyone?"

"All Noblewomen."

Jungkook proudly said.

"So you know the Princess?"

Ananya was caught in his trick already, so she didn't know how to reply now.

She couldn't tell him that she was the Princess or that she knew the Secret Princess. He would easily trick the truth out of her.

"I just know that

it's not easy being a Princess,"

Ananya said and pursed her lips.

"Why would you think that?"

Jungkook asked, enjoying her reaction.

Her cheeks flushed a hue of pink as she kept trying to get over such a situation.

But she was acting brave when she clearly wasn't.

"She would have extra classes to attend! And it's a big job hiding her true identity." Ananya replied.

"No one would know."

Jungkook shrugged.

Ananya was about to let it out that it's true when she realised,  he was tricking her with his words again.

"Yeah, no one would."

She played along.

Jungkook smiled at her, turned the other way and said in a pensive mood,

"Then I think I found the Princess!"

"Huh?"

She looked at him, puzzled.

"You are the eleventh Noblewomen woman I tricked. So that leaves only one Noblewomen and she would be the Princess."

Jungkook said with a serious face.

Ananya burst out in laughter as sje realise he was tricking her again.

Jungkook was surprised at the sudden outburst of laughter. No one could have known that trick. Well, V was surely better than him but still. He was getting good at deceiving. Ananya was still laughing and Jungkook noticed something odd.

She was a noblewoman.

She wouldn't laugh so openly in front of a man. But, here she was.

Her bright aura seemed to be radiating as she laughed. It was as if she was enchanting him into falling in love with her.

"You are good at this!"

Ananya exclaimed,

bringing her laughter down.

"Learned from the best!"

Jungkook proudly said.

"Better than you?"

"Way better!"

"Impossible!"

"Won't be till you meet Prince V."

Jungkook shared a laugh and asked,

"So how did you know I tricked you again?"

"There are 12 Noblewomen but, 8 of them don't talk to men!"

A

nanya said and broke into yet another laugh.

"Seriously?"

Jungkook asked with his eyes wide open.

She noded and said,

"Better luck next time."

To this, he breaks into a gummy smile.

For a moment they just smiled and it seemed like time had stopped.

Their eyes fixed on each other, it felt like they were having a sweet talk among themselves.

"So," Ananya started,

breaking the minute long silence,

" Want a tour?"

"Well," Jungkook sighed and continued playfully, "The Prince of a Kingdom usually offers that, but of course, your land has a Princess."

"A Secret Princess."

She corrects him.

"I don't mind a fake Princess."

Jungkook looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Fine!" Ananya said and rolled her eyes, "I will be the Princess for one night. Would that be alright?"

"That would be great!"

Jungkook said, brightening up immediately.

Ananya smiled and asked,

"Are all Princes like this or is it just the youngest?"

"Just the youngest!"

Jungkook says with a bunny smile.

Ananya chuckled and said,

"Well, I am the Princess!

So I am the youngest now!"

"Alright, Princess!

You get your way!"

Jungkook said with a funny bow.

They head off to the crowded streets and Market lanes of Maya.

With blinding lights of the Glow balls and a variety of food-stalls lined up the street, it truly was a festive day!

It was impossible to cross the street without crashing anyone as people busily hurried along in different directions.

Ananya was afraid she would lose sight of Jungkook amidst this crowd when suddenly, she felt a strong grip on her hand.

As she spun around, surprised,

Jungkook whispered to her ear,

"Can't risk losing sight of you."

To this, Ananya broke into a shy smile.

He was quite flirty with his words.

This is was her first time with a Prince and it felt strange talking to him in a Royal way. So she decided to talk to him like a Commoner.

Thus, her Royal manners were

long lost.

(P.s= Royal rules state that we can't hold or touch a person of the opposite gender unless they are our better-half.)

They continued down the street to reach the Mystic Woods,

a place for Spiritual Animals to rest and cultivate their energy.

Everything in these woods is

unique.

The leaves of every plant had different magic. One would heal, one would curse, one would grant a wish while one would injure you bad.

Everything was for a cause.

As there was good, there was the bad.

Living among the woods were

Gremlins,

mischievous creatures that paid heed to none.

They would often cause trouble to the locals by stealing their households.

While few Gremlins, short and skinny ones, would just have harmless fun, there were some, which would feed on people.

These Gremlins were human-sized, with brown-green skin, limbs like the branch of a tree and the face of a Goblin,

long ears and pitch-black eyes with droopy skin.

They would mostly attack small groups travelling through the woods.

"Careful!"

Ananya called out to Jungkook, as he was about to be pricked by a poison spine.

"Close call!"

Jungkook said, stepping aside to a clearer path.

They were walking up a cart track towards the centre of the woods.

Surrounding the tracks were all kinds of Tricky spines and vines.

As Ananya about the location of the trick traps, she was treading carefully.

She could hear Jungkook breaking a twig or two behind her.

"You must have read about these woods in your books," Ananya said as she pushed aside a lingering long brach.

"We have a groove where we can speculate the spirit creatures recuperating.

Would you like to watch?"

She heard no reply.

"JK?"

She spun around and ask.

But no one was behind her.

"JK!"

She called out again, but there was no reply.

"JK this is NOT funny!"

Ananya yelled as she started to fear the worst.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something moving in the dense bushes.

"Oh no!"

Ananya exclaimed,

realising what had happened,

"JEON JUNGKOOK!"
