"Father! You have had enough!" Ananya yelled out to her Father as he continues drinking his malt.

"I am still sober. Don't worry!"

Her Father replier and patted her in the back.

"You can hardly walk!"

Ananya sternly said and cross her hands.

...

It was a festive time for the citizens of Maya.

Whenever a Prince comes over, the whole land has festive night's to welcome the Prince.

Jk is the last Prince to come over for this generation,  so the festivities are bigger than ever.

The streets are lined with coloured papers and golden glow balls.

Children are playing with Dragon figurines.

Spirit Animals are roaming around and people are wearing their festive gowns.

The shops by the streets are flocked over. Free Malt and Whisky were available at the street centres.

The central circle of the City was lit up and decorated for the performers.

People with various talents were performing their best on stage while the crowd kept cheering for them.

The King of the Kingdom, sat in disguise among many common men, drinking free Malt and Whisky.

The Secret Princess and her cousin were keeping an eye on the tipsy King.

...

"Sweetheart! Why don't you go and enjoy the festival?" The King of Maya pats Ananya and says.

Irritated by this, she was about to say something when,

"The Prince is here!" A man yells out, pointing at a Royal carriage was speeding towards the crowd.

The crowd immediately cleared the street to watch the carriage, carrying the youngest Prince of the land, pass by.

The carriage stopped right in front of Ananya and her father.

"Oh no," Chelsea mumbled as she feared that the entire crowd had their eyes on them.

King Amish looked up at Ananya and asked, "Did your magic fade away?"

"No Father."

"Then why are people looking at me?"

"For the Carriage Father."

"Oh!" Her Father says and

pulls himself up.

"So should I announce

that I am their king?"

King Amish drowsily asked.

"Okay, that's it!" Ananya said and signalled Chelsea to come closer.

She immediately cast her Rose-Gold Mist to cover my Purple Magic.

"Sobrio Maximus"

Instantly her Father was back on his feet. Completely sober, he asked,

"Your Disguise Magic didn't fade right?"

"Purple Magic doesn't fade, Father,"

Ananya replied.

Before entering the Festival, Ananya had to cast a special disguise Magic on both her Father and Chelsea.

Ananya never really needed

a disguise for herself.

She has been going out on the streets since she was a toddler. She would be accompanied by her Maid, Mrs Rowan.

So the locals mistook her for a maidens daughter.

On the other hand, Chelsea was always seen as a noblewoman on the streets.

Even as a kid, she wore the Noble Gown and wouldn't play with the street kids. Thus, she was recognized by the people as a Noble.

Mrs Rowan never let Ananya wear her Royal clothes outside.People used to keep a strict eye on the Royal Gate.

Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the Princess. Noblewomen didn't live in a castle, so Ananya wasn't allowed to wear Noble Gowns as well.

So, for the people of Maya, she was just their beloved Anu.

She was popular among the locals as she would often stir up some mischief and give them trouble.

They would be angry at her for a while, but soon, would forgive and forget.

...

For now, all the eyes were fixed on her.

Father wasn't usually seen around as much as Chelsea and Ananya.

The crowd's eyes were fixed on them as the Royal Carriage didn't budge, making the situation more complicated.

"What do we do now?"

Chelsea asked her sister, flustered.

"I have to use Earth Magic."

Saying so, Ananya immediately cast a verbal spell on the Carriage.

"This is the Queen."

The crowd was silenced.

Everyone present gave a bow in respect and greeted the Queen.

"Your Mother never goes out!"

King Amish nudged her and said.

"Should I have said the Princess then?"

Ananya said and rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, a safe distance away from the crowd, Prince Jk silently watched the drama. His eyes were fixed on Ananya all the while. She wore a white dress and had a purple ribbon fastened on her hair. What caught his attention was her eyes. Every now and then, he could see a spark of Purple from the corner of her brown eyes.

He sighed and decided to head up to her and explain that the carriage was there for him.

Ananya on the other hand, continued mouthing the empty carriage

Verbal Earth Spells,

which won't reveal any coloured mist.

Such spells are usually used on wood , soil and other things related to Earth.

It was the only Magic she could use outside.

"Charioteer!"

Ananya nudged her Father and asked him to take the seat.

"Maid!"

To this Chelsea walked up the empty carriage and entered the bunk.

Of course, no one knew that the carriage was empty, people kept trying to get a glance of the Queen.

Without another second put to waste, the carriage rode off with high speed.

The crowd chattered loudly and crowded over to question Ananya,

"Your Father is a charioteer?"

"Was that your sister?"

"Are you a Royal Maid too?"

"Have you seen the Princess?"

"Psst!" A hiss came from behind.

As Ananya swung around,

she was petrified.

In front of her stood none other than,

Prince JungKook.

He grabbed her by her arm and pulled her away from the crowd.

"That carriage was for me!" He said as they stood alone in an empty alley.

"I guessed!" Ananya and freed her hand from his clutch.

"Then why did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Use Earth Magic!"

Ananya looked at him surprised.

Earth Magic isn't easy to be caught by a spectator. It's colourless and doesn't leave any kind of trace behind.

Only a few powerful cultivators and the Royals of Janari can use a counter Magic to trace it at the time of its use.

"How did you know?"

She asked him suspiciously.

"I have been to Janari already."

Jungkook said and rolled his eyes.

"Where did you learn that?"

"I have been to a library."

Ananya said and crossed my arms.

They glared at each other, equally angry.

Jungkook was pissed that his ride was taken away while Ananya was pissed at him because he looked pissed.

After a long angry staring game, Jungkook spoke up,

"Prince Jk of Nergia."

"Noblewomen Anu of Maya."

Ananya bowed in courtesy.

"Pleasure meeting you, Princess."
