“Rose, come on. Do you or do you not want to go to his coronation?” Nate asked me while I was squatting on the ground and pouting. I was back in my track uniform while having my morning run with the Vampire prince.“I want to.” I grumbled. “See? Now, less sulking and more running. Come on. I’ll run with you.” Nate offered me his hands and I lazily took it. I let out a dying groan as I got up to my feet. “Don’t give me that attitude. Remember the condition that the queen gave you so that she would allow you to attend?”I rolled my eyes. I do remember. “I have to at least convince her that I am capable of protecting myself.”“And what else?”

 The day, training began and I was dead nervous. Emphasis on the dead part. I mean, who wouldn’t be nervous? I was going to go up against a genius assassin!What bothered me is the fact that he was already practicing his swings even though Terrence isn’t here yet.“You know, you should follow his example and do some practice swings yourself.” Nate commented.I nodded. “You know, I have thought about it.” I agreed.“And?”“That’s it. I just thought about it and I suddenly feel tired so I didn’t do it.” I looked at Nate and smiled proudly.“I agree. I mean, Sir Terrence isn’t here yet so

 It has been a week now and we have been constantly practicing with both my magic and physical training. Terrence is an excellent teacher, obviously. And I could see a lot of improvements from all of us. The princes mostly since I still find the time to sleep somewhere when Terrence isn’t looking.Ace is surprisingly a good teacher in magic as well. He would occasionally threaten me whenever I make a mistake, but he doesn’t really follow it through.“One more lap, Viex.” I commanded as I tried to maintain the flow of magic onto Viex while practicing my whip. It’s very hard to multi-task especially when I just got distracted by a pretty butterfly. “FOCUS!” Ace snapped beside me that I immediately looked to

 It has been a long time since I came to visit the market here in Hazel. Nostalgia hit me differently because there were good and bad memories that I had here. One of them is where I had my first fight with Fred, and the other one is where I finally realized that Custard was indeed following me at that time.“Nora, stop removing your cloak. People will see that you’re a royal.” I chided her as I fixed her cloak. Before leaving, I asked the servants to bring us some cloaks just to hide our dresses. We didn’t have much time to change since Nora seemed like she was in a hurry. “I’m hungry.” She pouted.“Me too.” I agreed. “Let’s go look for something to eat.” I was a bit surprised when Nora smiled and started pulling on my hand a

  As the crown was placed on top of Fred’s head, the crowd erupted into a big round of applause. Fred, who was currently declared as the youngest king of Hazel smiled back onto the crowd as he returned the scepter. The princes and I couldn’t be more proud of him. After all, he deserves it. We have seen and witnesses what he could do and how responsible he can be. That is why I admire him. He’s kind and smart, and also talented. He was the perfect king. Maybe I should consider migrating to Hazel or buy some Fred action figures? Will I be charged with tax? “Enjoy the party everyone.” Fred says before he went backstage, probably to sign a few more paperwork. I almost booed at this sudden disappearance because I have yet to marvel at the sight of the handsom
