"Hurry up Jesslyn We won't arrive on time if you don't get ready" Ophelia said pulling my hand forcing me to follow her "Ophelia wait a minute I can't catch you if you keep pulling me like this" I said while trying to keep my balance so as not to fall and still be able to follow Ophelia's footsteps who were running while pulling me here and there.

Somehow I managed to make Ophelia stop running "Jesslyn did you know 2 days ago He came" Ophelia said to open the conversation "He?" I asked Ophelia "Yes, the crown prince do you remember" said Ophelia Ugh even here the crown prince still haunts me "No and don't expect to remember it again" I said "Well there is still much more to do than talk about the crown prince let's go" I said leave Ophelia "W-Wait" Ophelia runs after me.

"Are you okay" Ophelia asked walking beside me "Yep I'm fine" I said refusing to look at Ophelia "Why are you suddenly upset did I say something wrong" Ophelia asked again "Nothing at all" I said again without looking Ophelia and keep walking

"Jessely..."

*Brak*

"ow.." suddenly I bumped into someone and fell to the floor "Are you okay? Eh Jessely?" Femiliar voice Entering my ear made me immediately look at the person, we stared at each other for a while until suddenly. "Jessely are you okay" Ophelia said approaching me Ophelia's voice made me take my eyes off him "I-I'm fine" I said looking at Ophelia "thank you" Ophelia said holding my shoulders "Oh... what brings you here, Your Majesty?" Ophelia said turning her gaze to the person I accidentally bumped into.

the person I accidentally bumped into was the crown prince his name was Rei and also still my fiancé I don't know if this is luck or bad luck. Rei is the only child owned by the queen and king since childhood we are already engaged, I can say that Rei is a handsome and kind child.Rei's kindness and good looks attracted many other noble children including me in the past but now i feel nothing but hate and disgust every time i see him shadows of my past come to haunt me again i really hope i never meet or have any kind of relationship with him.

"I'm sorry for my negligence, it's really rude of me" I said bowing my head apologetically and refused to look him in the eyes "u-uh...yes I'm sorry too..." said Rei who seemed confused by my sudden change in my character.of course he was confused a week ago i kept clinging to him and suddenly talking as if i had no relationship whatsoever or clinging to him a week ago

remembering my behavior at the age of 8 made me want to dig in the ground and bury myself alive why would i do That's and more why I was so annoying when I was 8 years old.

"What are you guys doing here Jessley?" Rei said to me "why are you asking?" I replied to rei "Nothing, it's just weird seeing you out for festivals like this" Rei said putting his hands behind his neck "nothing special why I want to go out I just accompany Ophelia around while looking for fresh air that's it and why are you here?" ask me "My father asked me to attend this festival it would be rude if the royal family didn't come to this country's traditional festival" Rei said "Being a royal family isn't easy is it?" I said while looking at Rei who was looking down "Yes...you can say it" He said "If there's nothing we want to talk about anymore I'll excuse myself, I hope you have a glorious day" I said looking down slightly and then left Rei "e-e yeah I hope you also have a nice day Jessely" said Rei looking at me before turning around and leaving.

"Jessley are you all right it's strange to see you not so excited to see the crown prince?" Ophelia asked while following my steps why are kids like you so curious "Maybe....that... it's not good to act like that in public..?" I said and hoped that Ophelia would believe this one lie of mine "I understand Jessely you are really very smart" Ophelia said believing my lie "okay how about we take a look at the others" I said changing the topic hoping it would affect Ophelia "Of course" Ophelia said then pulled me around ah....now she's back to being very active

??? POV

"I'm sorry for my negligence, it's really rude of me"

the pink haired girl's words kept playing in my head it's so weird I can't believe she said such things the way she talks to me and the way she looks at me is totally different from the way she looked and looked at me 1 week ago that was 1 week ago she was very attached and wont leave me alone look full of hope on me now She looks at me like we have no relation what else what's wrong with her?

what if there's something I say or do that makes her stay away from me isn't it much better that we don't have to get married because of politics and parental coercion.

isn't that much better?.....
