She bit her lips the moment she got out of the Third Prince's car. They just arrived at the Hasegawa Mansion after a week of staying in the treehouse. She walked in and the maids and butlers greeted them with a bow. She could tell that her grandfather was waiting for her. She gave her things to the maids and then, she went to the garden to see her grandfather. She found him sitting on the wooden bench and then, she immediately gave him a hug. She felt like she committed a sin.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry for not contacting you for a week." She said while looking down. The elder hugged her back and just nodded. She smiled faintly and then, the Third Prince arrived at the garden.

"You two need to explain to me what happened." The elder said and they started explaining their side. It took them a while to tell him what they really feel for each other and what are their plans for the future.

"As long as you two are happy, I'll also be happy. Take care of my granddaughter. She is the only princess that we have here." He said and she hugged him tight once again while crying softly.

After a while, she went to her room first to take a shower and change clothes. The elder talked to the Third Prince alone and it seemed like they were getting along well. When the Eighth Prince arrived, he already accepted him as his twin sister's boyfriend. Though he felt bad that the Seventh Prince was heartbroken because of their decision. She went back to the garden, wearing a baby blue tulle dress that she got when she turned fifteen. She sat beside the Third Prince with a soft smile.

"Grandpa, it will be summer vacation soon. I want to go to another country." She suggested while playing with the Third Prince's fingers between her hands. She already got a few countries in her mind and one of them was Maldives.

"We can invite the others. I'm sure they will go with us." She added while looking at her twin brother and at her boyfriend. They talked about their plans for the summer vacation and then, the maids brought them some refreshments.

A few days had passed and they finally arrived in the Maldives. She stretched her arms up while yawning. It took them several hours for the flight. They used the private charter that the Eighth and Ninth Prince and Princess' grandfather prepared for them. They carried their own luggage and they saw the cars that they could use to go to the beach villa. The Third Prince pulled her to the blue convertible and placed their luggage at the backseat.

"Remove the cover." She said and he pressed a button after turning the engine on. It was windy, so she put her sunglasses on while sitting on the headrest of the passenger's seat. He started driving, following the other to the beach villa.

"You might fall." He reminded her and she held tight on his free hand while he was driving. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the cold summer breeze touching her face. They arrived at the beach villa after a few minutes. She looked at the Seventh Prince and realized that he was not really enjoying their vacation trip. Was it her fault?

"Hoku-chan." She called him but he didn't bother to look at her. She pouted a little and held his hand while looking down. He let out a deep sigh and then, he pulled his hand away from her to pat her head. After that, he followed the others inside.

The two princesses dragged her inside the villa as their boyfriends took care of their luggage. The villa is owned by the Aoyamas and they were welcomed with five caretakers, including the maids and gardener. The Fifth Princess looked around and realized that there are eight bedrooms on the upper floor. She opened one and saw how large each room was. The Ninth Princess saw that they already got their own rooms and when she looked for her luggage, it was with the Third Prince's. She bit her lips when she realized that she would stay in the same bedroom with him.

"Aren't you gonna join the others? I'll join Gia and Lauren." She said when she walked inside their bedroom. He looked at her and gave her a questioning look. Then, she realized what he wanted to happen for the next few days.

"I want to stay with the girls." The Sixth Princess said as she carried her luggage out of the bedroom. The First Prince immediately stopped her and dragged her back inside and then, he locked the doors.

"It will be our first time to sleep together. Don't you want to sleep with me?" He asked and she pinched his cheeks. He winced in pain but then, he hugged her waist before burying his face on her chest.

"Why don't you stay with Fuyu and Lauren? Girls' night." The Fourth Prince said and the Fifth Princess furrowed her brows. She just unpacked her things and already put some of her clothes inside the closet.

"Are you giving me away?" She suddenly asked and the younger one shook his head. This made her feel suspicious, so she put everything back in her luggage and rolled her eyes before leaving him alone inside. She slammed the door and everyone went out of their rooms for a while.

She pushed the Third Prince and the First Prince away from the two girls and then, she dragged them inside the room. The two men looked at the Fourth Prince and sighed deeply. They already planned to spend the night with their girlfriends and yet, the only one who will ruin it is the Fourth Prince. The Fifth Prince opened the door again and then, she threw out the Third Prince's luggage.

"Gia, you can't do this to me. I should be with Fuyu tonight." He knocked on the door but they only heard it getting locked from inside. He glared at the Fourth Prince and he locked his arm around his neck while dragging him in front of the door.

"Open up! I have your fiancé as the hostage!" He shouted and the door slowly opened. The Ninth Princess peeked from the inside and he quickly released the Fourth Prince from his grip to pull her out of the room.

"No! You can't take her!" The Fifth Princess was holding the other arm of the Ninth Princess and they started playing tug of war. He lightly slapped the Fifth Princess' hand and forcefully pulled the younger one away from her.

"Sorry, but she is mine." He grinned widely while hugging her tight. She giggled softly while hugging him back. The Fifth Princess puffed her cheeks, feeling betrayed by her own best friend. The Fourth Prince took her back to their room and decided to make up everything with her.
