Sweet daughter of the Royal Consort

Chance stared into emptiness with eyes slightly widened, 'M-meow? Did I just hear Wish or am I just missing him?' he thought.

He waited for a bit and thought that he just heard it from his mind but then he heard another meow. "There really is a cat!" he said and got off of the bed.

He bent down and peeked under the bed but there was nothing there. He looked around and started walking and the cat meowed again. He followed the sound of the cat and went to the middle of the room.

He stopped and waited for the next meow but when he heard it, he looked down at where he was. A gorgeous black cat was looking up at him while sitting comfortably at the throw pillow in the long single sofa, chaise lounge.

"Wish!" he called out in surprise.

"Meow."

Chance rushed to him and carried him in his arms. He squeezed the cat tight in a hug, "I thought I was the only one who went in this world. Turns out you followed me here." he said.

The cat resisted from his embrace and jumped back at the sofa and growled at him. It must've not liked the sudden hug he did. "Wish, don't you pretend to speak like a cat. I remember you talking to me last night!"

It meowed again and ignored him. It laid down again comfortably on the soft single sofa. "Wow, you're actually ignoring me right now? After I fed you?" he muttered. Good thing he was alone, people would think he is crazy.

His eyes landed at the fur scattered at the seat, "Oh Goddess, Wish! You can't shed your fur! Other people might see it!" he carried Wish and removed him from the sofa. 'How do I remove all of this fur?' he thought, scared for the others to find out that he had an unknown cat inside the palace.

"Your Highness, what is the matter?" asked the knight, who came inside the room after hearing Chance talking while he was alone.

Alec and Chance stared at each other, then looked at the cat on the floor. "What is—

"I cannot explain how this cat got in here, so don't ask any questions." Chance immediately cut in.

"I apologise, Wish's fur is all around the sofa. He must have been here long." he added.

"I see you have already named him, Her Highness will be pleased to know." Alec said.

Chance turned to him with surprise on his face, 'Her Highness?' he thought. He remembered the name in his papers when he was researching about the family.

Her Highness, Princess Carmilla, the daughter of the king with his Royal Consort. Charles's half sister. 'She knows about Wish?' he thought.

"You permitted Her Highness to keep a cat, though I would never have thought that you loved them as to even cuddle it." Alec uttered, his gaze down.

Chance followed where his eyes went and saw that his white shirt was covered with black fur. "Oh, well, I tried to get it off the sofa and his hair got on my clothes." he said, not admitting that he embraced the cat tight because he missed it.

"Your Highness," a voice called out. Chance walked towards the door to see who it was and it looked like a butler. The butler has a golden brown, medium length wavy hair. The side of his hair in the front is combed back, tucked behind his ears so it won't go in front of his face.

He bowed as respect and when he stood up, he still did not look at Chance directly in the eyes. "My lady would like you to visit her chamber." he stated. 'I see, so he is Carmilla's personal butler.' he thought.

Alec looked at his master, Chance nodded at the knight and looked back at the butler, "Lead the way." he ordered.

~~~~~~~~~~

"We have arrived at Her Highness, Carmilla's chamber." The butler stated and bowed as he opened the door for Chance. Chance went inside and Alec followed behind him after he gave the butler a slight bow of the head. The butler bowed his head back and also followed after them.

'Is that the princess?' he thought as he looked at the girl sitting pretty at the balcony, with desserts and tea.

The princess heard the door shut and turned to look at who it was. Her face brightened up as he saw his brother standing inside. "Brother! You came!" she exclaimed with delight. She rushed towards her brother and hugged him tightly, "I missed you! I heard you have arrived so I called you here." she said with a wide grin.

But Chance stood up straight, frozen. His eyes widened as he looked at the face of the princess. 'No way.' he said in his mind.

She pulled Alec's arm and made him sit in the balcony, she also sat down with the butler by her side. "Brother, have tea with me. It has been so long since we saw each other." she said but Chance did not answer and was still dumbfounded.

The princess looked at her brother's face in confusion, "Brother? Is there something in your mind?" she asked.

The butler held the princess and pulled her gently away from the crown prince. "I think it is not proper to call him that. In spite of your blood relationship, you are still talking to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince." the butler said.

"Oh, come on, William! We are in private! Brother Charles would not mind, right?" she said and looked at Chance.

Carmilla Howard is a sweet, loving princess who is kind to everyone. She loves everyone, especially the Crown Prince. She is the daughter of the king's current wife, Royal Consort Caroline.

She was born last, since the Royal Concubine got pregnant first. The princess was very much adored by the servants and the people around her, the Crown Prince Charles and even the ruthless King.

But Chance stared at her, could not believe his eyes. 'I thought I was the only one who came into this world.' he thought.

'I didn't know you were also here,'

"Milla..." he continued.

Right. It was her.

Milla, the café owner.
