She covered her lips while staring at him with wide eyes. He got her first kiss and she doesn't even know who he is. She is supposed to push him away but why does it feel like she lost her energy to do it? He is just staring at her and she feels like melting. Is he her Prince Charming? 

"You will forget about this soon." He whispered and he held her wrist to remove her hand away from her lips. 

"Tell me your name." She mumbled but he kissed her once more. She slowly closed her eyes and started kissing him back. She is feeling sleepy. Her grip on the man's clothes is getting weaker. The moment he broke the kiss, she fell asleep in his arms. 

She hummed softly when she finally woke up. The sun is already up. She quickly sat up on her bed and removed the blankets. She looked at her chemise. It is clean. She looked at her knees. There are no wounds. She looked at her side and saw that the music box was closed. 

"I met Prince Charming in my dreams." She whispered and she touched her lips. The kiss felt so real that she can still feel the man's soft lips on hers. 

At one point, she is disappointed that it was just a dream. She got up from her bed and went out to the dining hall. She saw her parents and her twin brother. They are already having breakfast. She sat beside her twin brother and the servant served her food and warm milk. 

"Mother, did you close the music box last night?" She asked and their mother looked at her and smiled, nodding her head. 

"Is there something wrong? You didn't have a good sleep?" She asked and she quickly shook her head. 

"I just had a dream. I met my Prince Charming in my dream last night." It was almost a whisper when she said that. Makoto laughed and she glared at him. 

"You're already fifteen but you're still believing in fairytales." He said and she punched his arm. She started eating and their father told them to finish the food first before fighting. 

After breakfast, they prepared for their classes. She expected that it would be an ordinary day and it didn't disappoint her. She went to the library to borrow a book collection of fairy tales. For a teenager like her, she still believes that her soulmate exists. She calls him Prince Charming. Perhaps, if she will be able to meet him, she will be the happiest. She smiled sweetly while hugging the book she borrowed from the library. 

"The Prince has arrived." A guard suddenly announced and she stood at the side to keep away from the crowd. 

She stared at him when he passed by. He looks like the man in her dream last night. He stopped in front of her and looked at her. She realized that she was the only one who didn't greet him. She gripped on the book tightly and walked away instead. She doesn't like his presence towards him. It was arrogant and she doesn't tolerate something like that. Everyone looked at them and the Prince just smirked before walking again. She doesn't care if they will talk about her. 

Night came once again and she stared at the music box. She opened it and listened to the melody and she is still thinking about her Prince Charming. How come he looks like the Prince? She shook her head and tried to forget about it. She opened the windows and took a chair to sit and relax while appreciating the full moon. Cold night breeze passed by and she closed her eyes while smiling when it touched her face. 

He looked up and saw her from the windows. He tilted his head as he remembered that she was the girl earlier at the university. She rested her chin on her palm but when she looked down, she saw a figure standing just below her. Knowing that she already saw him, he grinned widely and walked away. 

"Prince Charming.." She mumbled and she ran out of her bedchamber to chase the figure she saw. 

She forgot to get her fur coat and she was feeling cold when she arrived at the forest. She looked around and saw the figure towards the direction of the lake. She called for him but he didn't stop from walking. He stopped by the side of the lake and she bit her lower lip while catching her breath. He turned around and walked towards her, cupping her cheeks and kissing her lips. Her eyes grew wide and she pushed him away. 

"Pervert!" She shouted and slapped his cheek. She started crying, feeling mad that a pervert got her first kiss instead of her Prince Charming. 

"You're not my Prince Charming. How dare you kiss me." She sobbed, running back to the manor. He tried to chase her but he realized that she already hated him. 

Her hair fell when she dropped her hairpin while running back. She didn't bother to look for it anymore since she might encounter the pervert again. She went to the bathroom and washed her face, especially her lips to erase the lingering feeling on it. Her brother asked her where she went and when she walked out of the bathroom, she just hugged him tight and cried more.
