First nine

It's still a week away but there are just so much work to do for the party that I am already exhausted. I have to organize the party myself because the emperor won't do this and I am the only capable royal member . But still organizing a birthday party is a first for me though I don't have any problem probably because of the body's memories.

But I sometimes still remember my past family , I was the youngest out of four other brother of mine.

My parents didn't even like me that much because I was a girl . I wonder if someone mourned for me later? I didn't really had any friends to speak of anyway.

"Princess you should take a break."

Julia cared for me very much , I am lucky to have her besides me.

"Yeah you are right , how about a snack break."

"I will bring some refreshments"

I love to sit in the terrace and enjoy some time alone , I usually eat there too since I don't have to eat a family meal.

Well the view from the terrace is nice . The royal palace is as big as a small City , probably because it was built a long time ago .

It has a great history , but sometimes it feels stuffy . At times like those I take a walk in the garden and seem to find Derek everytime by 'coincidences' according to him .

But he is rather cute and charming at the same time.

The life here is not so bad if I ignore those looks sometimes I receive.

"Princess you look troubled"

Oh , I have worried Derek.

"I'm fine , just there is a lot to prepare."

"I see"

"Derek would you come to the party as my partner?"

"Yes!?"

He made the most troubled face ever , I controlled my laugh though.

"You won't?"

"No .. I mean it's my honor princess."

"So will you or not?"

"Of course I will go with you."

We both laughed at that.

Nice , it seems like the awkwardness is gone now.

I made some progress at least.
