"Princess, your breakfa-" Hyunjin was surprised to see her sleep like a dead log The usual Eun Ae will have already reading the document that he placed on her study table, instead of sleep.
Hyunjin knows that she struggled to sleep because of those nightmares.
" ah!" she sprung up from her slumber, hands on her abdomen just to be confirmed that she is fine. That makes Hyunjin to quickly put away the food tray and ran to her side
" same nightmare?" he asked as she nod, but in reality it was not. the feeling of her getting stab is still vivid for her.
She wants to avoid that man, at all costs .
"coffee?" he ask she nodded her head, handing her the coffee he just brought.
The knock off the door was heard making both the knight and the princess to stare at the door.
"Princess, you should get ready" the maid literally shout as she walks in without Eun Ae's command. Hyunjin who saw this was about to argue but just to stop by the princess.
The princess shook her head, she's not ready to deal with this yet. " I'll be back once you are done , Princess " hyunjin left the room leaving the rude maid.

" hyunjin, be careful! " she yelled out just as the hot coffee was about to pour on him, Eun Ae quickly use her magic and not to let hyunjin get splash by hot coffee.
It was the same coffee that hyunjin brought.
"im sorry" the servant instantly said to them, but Eun Ae clearly saw the smirk on her face. She remember in her past life this girl cause a lot of trouble in the annex.
"you are the head maid aren't you?" Eun Ae asked in which the short hair girl look at the Eun Ae as she nod head.
"yes, Princess" she said, her tone was full of arrogant
"you almost hurt one of my aide, shouldn't you kneel down and beg for forgiveness" In instant the short hair girl frown in displeased
Meanwhile, Hyunjin look at Eun Ae in shock. Hyunjin knows that Eun Ae just doesn't wants to interact with anyone in this annex. All of the servant and butler are people of his majesty's the emperor .
"This people are the eyes and ears of his majesty. Remember that , hyunjin"
This was the first word she told him before he swear oath to protect her with his life.
"What are you waiting for?" Eun Ae raised her eyebrows, showing how displeased she is with the maid.
"Please forgive me " the maid mumble, head lowered towards hyunjin but her eyes were furious.
"Thank you for being cooperative with me " Eun Ae smile as she saw other maid walks in.
"princess, his majesty summoned you to the main palace." Eun Ae nod her head.
"head maid, i hope you will show good example to the others" with that, both Eun Ae and hyunjin walk off to main palace.
the walk to main palace is quite long as hyunjin is still deep in his thought not knowing what to say
"princess, are you alright?"
"hm." she nod her head "what's wrong ?" she ask back
"nothing" hyunjin refuse to answered. He stared at the royal lady as if she changed into someone else just in one night.
just one month on mission, but what he witness about the princess is how she dare to speak with so much of elegance that proves she is a royal member.
Meanwhile, Eun Ae keep thinking about the incident morning happened. she remember that incident left hyunjin a burn mark on his neck area. it might looks like a simple burn mark but that coffee was mixed with some kind of poison that will give hyunjin a seizure once in a while.
thank god.
standing in front of the big magnificent palace door of the main palace. "the princess is entering"
with that, the door was open that led them to the king who is already seated on the throne with so much of arrogance and the smirk on his face shows that he is in hold of the throne.
"Princess is greeting the sun of the empire." Gracefully,she bow to the emperor.
"Oh, you are here. The reason I called you for us because of the upcoming ball."
ball?
" princess, the ball is to invite the Grand Duke's victory " hyunjin whispered
grand duke? who is it again?
just before he could asked her knight, the emperor look back at her after the aide whispered something to the emperor.
"The duke from the Park household will be your partner "
Park? what did i even miss...
but she did not fail to hear the gasp behind her, it was her knight.
