Prince POV
I have been up since early morning I'm busy preparing everything for tonight there is going to be a royal ball to welcome my 14 brothers even though they have arrived yes turfs today we shall give them all a proper welcome since we spent all of yes turfs planning and coming up with different strategies and defenses.
"Hey what's my Dongsaeng thinking about with such concentration" Leeteuk said.
"I'm pretty sure it has to do with a really cute girl" Kyuhyun said with a smirk on his face.
"His blushing I think your right" Eunhyuk said.
"Guys stop teasing him already and let him tell us who she is" said Ryeowook.
"Alright alright guys calm down hyung who is she tell us already" Henry said in a frustrated yet amusing voice.
"Well I - That's all I had to say since another voice interrupted me -_-
"Omg let me guess is it that girl the one you were arguing about with James before we arrived" said Swion with so much excitement in his voice that even his eyes sparkled.
"Oh her well you see" I said grabbing the top of my head when another voice was heard and this time it was.
"Hey yeah I heard that conversation to,he was screaming his lungs of about not being able to see her again and that he could loose her if he doesn't go and explain to her why he hasn't gone to the meadow to see her" Donghae said.
"Hey stop this arguing already and let the men speak even if it's about this girl only he can tell us the details" Kangin said.
"Hyung just tell them already there so annoying and we need to keep discussing about this whole war situation" Zhoumi said sounding very annoyed now.
"Well let him speak already guys this is all frustrating" Sungmin said.
I decided I should speak up before the others interrupt me by barging inside the room.
Oops to late
Here comes James and by his side is Kibum and Hangeng
"Your highness what are you all standing here we have a lot to discuss not to mention the preparations for tonight's ball" James said.
"Yes we have more important things to do then just stand here I suggest we get to it" Hangeng said.
"Yea let's get going or did we interrupt something important" Kibum said with a questioning look on his face.
Before anyone else interrupted I spoke up first
"Ani you didn't interrupt anything,guys his right let's get going there is a lot to prepare" I said while standing up and going towards the door.
"Ya Yesung hyung you still haven't told us about that girl yet" Donghae complained.
"Not now we have work to do let's go" I said and started to walk out of the throne room.
"What did we miss" Kibum asked.
"Not much since everyone kept asking questions but no one would let him answer any of them" Zhoumi said.
"Guys lets just focus on the game plan we can ask him again later" Leeteuk said.
And with that the room was left empty
Leeteuk POV
After being stuck in the library for a 2 hour meeting discussing battle we can finally go outside and wonder around the palace but no one can leave or we might be in danger
"Alright guys you can all go explore and look around but I want you to go in groups of 2 or more stay out of trouble and remember to stay within the palace Arrassao" I said to my boys.
"Yes omma we will be good little boys" Kyuhyun said in a little kids voice while rolling his eyes.
"Kyuhyun be serious this is important we have to watch our backs now let's go spread out we will all meet up at the Royal Gardens Arrassao" I said as we all got into groups and walked away.
Zhoumi POV
As me and my Dongsaeng we're exploring the castle I began to get really hungry I wonder if his hungry to maybe I should ask him
"Hey Dongsaeng you hungry" I asked him.
"Hmmm come to think of it I am, you want to race to the kitchen" Henry said.
"Yea let's go for it" I said.
We both ran towards the kitchen trying not to bump into anyone when we turned the corner ready to go inside the kitchen standing in the door way was James and we almost bumped into him we both came to a stop.
"Boys I mean your highnesses what is going on here why are you in such a hurry" James said in a frustrated voice.
"I'm sorry we were racing to see who would get to the kitchen first because we are both really hungry right Henry?" I said.
"Yes we're both hungry that we decided to race towards the kitchen were sorry" Henry said.
"It's alright but next time be more careful someone could get hurt and by that I mean you, I will have someone prepare something for you after I am finished talking to Philip the head chef here it appears we have a problem that we must fix it is important for tonight's ball" James said.
"Yes we don't have anyone to deliver our order for tonight I am far to busy with food preparations to go and deliver it myself this is a disaster" Philip said frustrated.
"Are you sure you don't have anyone to deliver the order? What is the order anyways?" Henry said.
"We'll we need to deliver this order to the towns baker we forgot to send it earlier bit with the war and preparations I think it might be to late I don't know if he can pull this of by tonight it's a big order but we should atleast try and ask if they can do it and I must send them am invitation personally of course but I have no one to deliver it" James said.
"Hey how about we deliver it for you" I said.
"Ani I can't let you do that it is far to dangerous for any of the princes to leave the the castle grounds without guards it is prohibited I whont and can't allow that" said James.
"But James we are the only ones that can help you out you have no one else" Henry said.
"His right we are your only hope you can trust us" I said.
"It's not that it's just that-
With that I grabbed the papers he had in his hands I grabbed Henry and ran for it
"Your highnesses wait it's too dangerous" James said while running after us.
"Don't worry we got this" Henry said.
"Yea will be back before anyone knows we're gone"I said and with that we ran out of the castle walls and into town.
Henry POV
"Hyung can we stop running now I don't think I can run anymore" I said in between breaths.
"Yea let's stop now I don't think we're being followed" Zhoumi said.
Now that we are both walking around town trying to find where the bakery is the sooner we find it the better so we can return to the castle before we get in trouble.
"We have been walking for awhile Joe let's go get something to eat" Zhoumi said.
"Yes finally I'm starving here" I said as I grabbed my stomach.
We found a small restraint around the corner and we decided to eat there.
30min later
"I'm stuffed I can't believe we are all this food ugh" Zhoumi said.
"I know I don't think I can walk let's just stay here for a bit" I said.
"Ani we have to continue our search before Leeteuk hyung finds out that we left Gaja" said Zhoumi.
"Ugh Arrassao" I said grabbing my full tummy.
"Hey give me a sec I'm going to ask the owner where the bakery is cuz if we don't were just going to wonder around town and waste time we don't have I'll be back" and with that Zhoumi left to ask for directions.
After waiting outside for hyung he came out of the restaurant smiling and grabbed my hand
"Ya hyung where are we going" I said.
"We are going to the bakery I know where it is now come on pphali we have to get back to the castle as soon as possible" hyung said.
After walking for awhile we finally arrived at the bakery and at the se moment a girl arrived as we'll
Wow she's so beautiful her smooth soft hair her honey brown eyes that can melt you just by looking into them her small pink lips I wonder who she is, I said to myself I didn't notice that she was speaking to us.
"Annueonghaseyo can I help you two" she said.
Wow even the way she speaks is cute wait what?
"Ye actually we came because we have an urgent message from the palace it seems they forgot to send the order for tonight's ball the chef is actually scared that the baker wont be able to do this order since it's for tonight" Zhoumi said.
"We'll I did think it was weird that we didn't receive an order since they always send us one days before the actual event but with the whole was situation going on it doesn't surprise me that they forgot" the girl said.
"Wait we? Us? What so you mean? Does that mean that you work hers?" I said.
"Ye my family owns this bakery I'm their eldest daughter and my name is Yessica it's nice to meet you both" Yessica said.
"It's nice to meet you I'm Henry and this is my hyung Zhoumi" I said.
"Yea hey it's nice to meet you" Zhoumi said.
"Well let's go inside and you can give me the order" she said.
With that we went inside the bakery it smelled so good then we handed her the form she read through it and looked up at is with a mishievous smile.
"Is it a lot will you be able to complete the order by tonight" Zhoumi said.
"Ye don't worry we can finish it on time since that always order from us I already know what they want and since the ball is the talk of the town I new they were going to sent in an order but when it didn't arrive I figured everyone was busy to deliver anything to us and so that's why I decided to start baking since this morning I actually just came back from buying more ingredients and my parents are doing the same we are already halfway down the list so you can tell the chef not to worry it will all be really by tonight" Yessica said.
"Wow your amazing"I said.
She blushed a bit at that that only made her look even cuter, "ya stop thinking that"
"We'll it's good that you have everything under control will leave you to your work and we should get back before we get in trouble" Zhoumi said.
"Oh ok them you should get back I wouldn't want you to get in trouble because I kept you here" she said.
"No don't say that I wouldn't mind staying and maybe helping you out but we should get back our hyung is really scary when his angry but before we go here it's an invitation for tonight's ball make sure to bring the family" I said with a giggle.
With the cutest smile ever she took it from my hands
"Khamsamnida" she said.
"Don't be so formal we're friends now" I said.
"Arrassao Gomwao"she said.
"Dongsaeng Gaja if hyung finds out that we left his gonna kill us and get furious at James"Zhoumi said.
"Arrassao we'll we have to go hope to see you tonight" I said.
"Ok I will be there but see you later" she said.
With that we are on our way back to the castle.
Yessica POV
As soon as they left I went back to the kitchen to mix the ingredients I bought and after I will start decorating the cakes and cupcakes I already baked.
30min later
"Yes I'm done" I said.
Just then my parents came in and my sister
"Hey sweetie did you finish decorating" omma said.
"Did you start the other batch yet" appa said.
"Ye I did all of that and the batch is done I just have need to take it out of the oven and we can put another batch in" I said. Also the head chef at the place sent in there order today I told them that we can get every thing done on time.
"That's good now they can feel at ease"omma said.
"He Ana darling help your sister decorate the batch that is done while me and your mom finish baking the rest" appa said.
"He appa" said my Dongsaeng.
Me and my Dongsaeng decorated all of the cakes cookies and cupcakes coming out of the oven.
"Hey Dongsaeng where are our other Dongsaengs" I said.
"Oh there with our grandparents omma and appa decided to take them there for today so that we can work on the order and we couldn't do that with them here" she's said.
"Ok makes sense" I said.
Everything is done now to load up the wagon and get ourselves ready for tonight
"Ok we are done loading now you all go up stairs and get ready I will stay here and look after the wagon" appa said.
"Arrassao- we all said in unison.
As soon as we all finished getting ready appa went to get ready while we waited in the wagon and them we were of to the castle we decided to arrive early so that we can have time to set up.
Yesung POV
"Leeteuk hyung is still mad at Henry and Zhoumi they were no where to be seen we waited for them at the garden but nothing we all started to get worry we were going to go look for them at the bakery where James said they went but when we were about to head out they came back a and let's just say Leeteuk hyung was furious at them.
"You'd highness are you done getting ready" James said.
"Ye I am I should go check on the guys and hopefully Leeteuk hyung isn't angry anymore" I said.
"We'll on my way over here I saw prince Henry and prince Zhoumi enter his nigh ness Leeteuks chambers I think they went to apologize" James said.
"I hope your right tonight I want all of us to celebrate that we are together again I wouldn't want any of them to be mad at each other" with a sigh I asked James to accompany me so that we can settle things between them.
After discussing what happened and after James explained to hyung that Henry and Zhoumi were only trying to help and that thanks to them our order was placed for tonight Leeteuk hyung forgives them.
Yessica POV
We all arrived at the palace and started to unload and put everything on the tables, after we also decided to help out and set up decorations in the ball room, the guest started to arrive one by one then an older men approached me.
"Here you are miss it's a mask his highness decided that it will be fun to wear them and we are handing them out to out guests and you and your family are also guests here" the men said.
"Oh how fun I've never been to a mask ball before khamsnida" I said.
"Your welcome miss and with all do respect you are really beautiful I hope his highness can find someone as beautiful and with a kind heart like you because I can tell that you have a very kind heart" he said.
"Khamsnida your so nice but his highness needs a princess not someone like me I'm just a commoner a peasant and his a prince" I said.
"Ani that's not true your more then that I'm sure and you are already a princess you don't need a crown to feel like one" he said by the way what's your name.?
"Oh yes my name is Yessica it's very nice to meet you" I said as I bowed 90•
"It's nice to meet you I'm James the prince personal royal advisor well I should go and check on things I will see you later goodbye" he said as he left.
1 hour later
The ball room was full of people the music stopped then James the prince advisor was speaking and welcoming everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming tonight this ball is being held to officially welcome 14 handsome princes to out kingdom and here they all are including your own prince and ruler of this land now I will like to introduce you to all your highnesses here is prince Kyuhyun, prince Leeteuk, prince Sungmin, prince Kangin, prince Shingdon, prince Kibum, prince Siwon, prince Hangeng, prince Henry, prince Donghae, prince Eunhyuk, prince Zhoumi, prince Ryeowook, prince Heechul, and of course prince Yesung " James finally finished .
"Wow they are all so handsome dressed in there armor that all look so strong but I still really like that guy I met at the meadow I can't stop thinking about him" I said.
"Eunnie I don't want to be cruel but you don't even know his name or where he lives and be hasn't gone to see you you said so yourself" my Dongsaeng said.
"Yes I know but there's something about him I can't just let him go I already love him" I said.
"But-
She was cut of because appa came.
"Yessica I need you to come with me to meet someone that wants to thank us for being able to complete their order" appa said.
"Oh Arrassao appa" I said.
When we arrived at the top of the stairs I noticed 15 handsome men wearing masks starring at us I just froze.
"Annyeonghaseyo in the town baker and this is my daughter she's my assistant along with her mother"appa said while he bowed 90•
"Annyeonghaseyo" I said while I bowed as we'll.
"Annueonghaseyo my name is James I am the prince royal advisor thank you so much for doing our order at such a short notice we have all been very busy here at the palace that we completely forgot to take in the order sooner I'm sorry" he said while bowing his head.
"Anti anti don't worry about it actually it was thanks to my daughter that we were able to finish it all on time me and my wife forgot about it we thought maybe you sent the order to someone else but she suggested we do the order because maybe you were all too busy to deliver it and turns out she was right so this is all thanks to her" appa said whole holding my hand the whole time.
"Honey honey where are you?" I can hear omma calling.
"I will be right back my wife is calling excuse me" appa said with a slight bow.
"So you are the girl who saved us from starvation thank you so much what is your name" the prince.
I was still looking at appa from the side when I heard his question (how weird I feel like I know that voice but no it can't be) without turning around I bowed.
"Annueonghaseyo Yessica imnida" I said and as soon as I stood up I was face to face with him even though his wearing a mask I can never forget those beautiful eyes and those lips the lips I enjoyed kissing and missed so much.
We looked at each other's eyes with both shock and confusion and both said.
"It's you?"
