How?

"Good morning, Your Majesty," Noah greeted as we bumped into each other in the halls. "Good morning, Noah," I greeted back and smiled.

"The weather is beautiful today, isn't it? It's a perfect weather to go out and play," he said as he looked at the windows. I looked at the view outside from the windows just like what he did, and indeed, the weather was beautiful. "Yes, it is," I said as I looked outside.

"Your Majesty," he called. I turned to look at him and I found him staring at me. "Yes?" He took a step closer to me and said, "Did you know that you're like the sun?" I tilted my head a bit and raised my brow in confusion. "What do you mean? Am I yellow?" I said as I looked at my skin.

Hmm... I'm not yellow, though. Do I look that way to him?

He chuckled as he held his stomach. My forehead creased as I looked at him, clearly confused because I do not understand him. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I did not mean to laugh at you," he said as he tried to put on a straight face. "Then why are you laughing?" I asked. "It's because you are too adorable, Your Majesty," he said and smiled. "You're like the sun... because you brighten up my day," he said as he looked straight into my eyes. "And in the days without you, I feel blue, and the whole world looks gray," he continued.

"Oh! So that's what you meant," I said and giggled. "That's very sweet of you, Noah. I, too, feel blue..." I said as I looked at him and smiled. His face brightened up as if he was expecting something more. "... when you, and all of my people, are not here," I continued as I smiled.

"Oh," he said as he smiled. "Yes, of course. You are the princess. Of course, you would feel blue when we, your people, are not here," he said and chuckled. "Yes, that's right," I said as I nodded.

I did well, didn't I? I showed him how much I cared for everyone. You did well, Krishiella.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. I still have something to do," I said and smiled. "Of course, Your Majesty," Noah said and bowed. I continued walking and walked past him as I headed to the garden in the west wing of the palace to meet my brother.

Before I could reach the garden, a man stood before me and stopped me from walking. "Good morning, Your Majesty," he said as he bowed at me. He then lifted his head and a smile formed on his lips. I smiled and curtsied as I greeted him, "Good morning, Your Majesty." He chuckled and said, "Have you slept well? Are you feeling better now?" He asked as he looked at every feature on my face. "Yes, of course. What about you, Vaughn?" I asked. "That's very reassuring to hear. Well, I was quite bothered because I knew you weren't feeling very well yesterday, but regardless of that, I could say that I slept quite well," he said and smiled.

I nodded and said, "Where were you heading? Were you off to somewhere?" He nodded and said, "I was about to look for you, but I guess I got lucky and bumped into you." I just giggled and said, "Well, I'm off to see my brother. Would you like to come with me?"

"Oh... the Crown Prince," he said and scratched the back of his head. "It would be best if I do not see him for now. Please go your way, Krishiella," he said and smiled awkwardly. "Did something happen between the two of you?" I asked. He did not answer right away, as if he couldn't decide what his reply would be. "No, nothing in particular," he said and smiled.

I think it would be best if I do not ask him for now. The subject might be uncomfortable for him. I should be considerate.

"Very well, I'll take my leave now. Our conversation will not take very long, so please wait for me at the east wing of the palace. I have something to show you later," I said and smiled. "Alright, I'll be waiting for you, my lady," he said and placed a soft kiss on my hand.

I continued walking to the garden and found my brother sitting under a tree. "Good morning, Brother," I greeted as I walked closer to him. "Good morning, Sister. Not gonna curtsy?" He said and chuckled as he stood up. "No," I said and smiled. "Aw, really?" He pouted.

"Let me get to the point, Brother. How can I go to the academy's library?" I asked. "Another library? I knew you were a big fan of books, but I never thought that you'd want to go to another library. We have all the books here in the Imperial Palace, Krishiella. For what reason do you want to go to the academy's library?" He said as his forehead creased. "Well, a certain someone wouldn't allow me to go to the restricted room, so I thought that maybe I'd be able to find what I'm looking for at another library," I said, trying to guilt-trip him.

He frowned at me and said, "Come on, Sister. I can't really let you go into that room." I took a few steps closer to him and said, "Which is why I'd like to know how I can enter the academy's library." He let out a heavy sigh and said, "Well, if you want to go inside legally, you'd have to be a student there first." He replied. "And how do I get in illegally?" I asked as I looked straight into his eyes. "Krishiella!" He yelled as he glared at me. I giggled and said, "I was just messing with you, Brother. I know that even if I am a princess, a crime such as trespassing the academy would have a very heavy punishment. A lifetime of imprisonment, I guess?"

"That's right. So, you better not do anything rash. But why do you want to go there anyway?" He said as he looked at me with a confused expression. "I just want to learn more things, Brother," I replied as I smiled at him. "I do not really think that you are telling the truth, but I'll let you off for now," he said as he shook his head.

"Thank you for the information. I'll take my leave now, Brother," I said and curtsied before leaving the garden.

I'd have to enroll there, huh?
