What the hell...?? It was definitely not a dream. I looked at my surroundings but found nothing about the painting or the beautiful balcony anymore, it was only my untouched room which was exactly the same as before I went to sleep.

I hold my head in my hands, my head stinging with pain... I take a deep breath trying to maintain my vision clear and make myself get out of the dream I was having which just felt too realistic!

"Princess Y/N, your majesty is looking for you, so please get ready and gather in the dining area soon" my maid said before passing the hallway.

I soon get out of the bed and get fresh, changing into a peach and light pink shade of long frock which sweeps the floor, which was already kept for me by the maids.

After a few minutes, I walked to the living room passing through open hallways where wind blew so calmly yet with fierce force, it looks like it's going to rain today.

I saw my father sitting already having his breakfast with Kim Min Seo, who is like a right hand to my father in looking after the works related to our kingdom, since he doesn't believe girls are taking over and ruling the kingdom.

But I have a total opposite opinion about Minseo.

"Good morning father" I greeted him and took my seat right next to him as Minseo was seated opposite to us, and I could already feel his glares at me.

I'm sure one day I wish I could rip his eyes out.

"Good morning" he replies with a nod like a normal person.

Halfway through the silent breakfast my dad began "So... today the people from Park's kingdom along with their prince are going to come here to see you and talk about your marriage. We have already decided about it and before furthering into marriage, the prince wanted to have a talk with you, so I'm telling you in advance he is the most powerful one and future king of the Park Kingdom, his war tactics are great. He would protect you and that is what I want for you. Don't ruin this match and talk to him carefully. He is a smart one, so behave well Y/N. Don't act childish and behave like a kid In Front of him. Understand?" He completes and looks up at me with a gaze that I quite can't understand.

Hah! I lost my inner child long back and he still wants me to not act like a kid... losers!

I unknowingly gulp the food which I didn't realise was in the middle of the throat as I nod at him looking down at my plate.

"Finally, you are going to get married, I'm happy" tells the giggling minseo.

I glare at him as I manage to boost my confidence to talk to my dad about my opinion.

"But dad, I respect your decision, you could have at least informed me about it before confirming it from my side" I ask him while fiddling with the spoon.

My dad slightly glares at me as he tells "At the end of the day this should be your decision" he simply slides away with his reply.

I'm again left over with questions in my head about his behaviour with me which is so different at times. He wasn't like this when I was little and even in my teenage years. It hurts a lot to see even small changes from the person you love.

The same unknown frown overtakes my face. In no time they both finish breakfast and disappear from the hall.

I chuckle at myself for what I have gotten myself into. Did I commit a crime for them to act like that? I sure did, I guess! Why can’t they be friendly and normal enough to behave like humans?

As I finish my breakfast too. I walk to the garden to water the tiny peach-coloured tulips along with roses that are spread over the garden making it look like roses themselves were guarding the place.

I suddenly get reminded of the flashbacks from this morning's dream. Wondering about the person. Was it my past life? Because it was a full moon day.

I try to brainstorm trying to remember every possible detail I could remember.

But everything was in a blur except the person's little mode under his lip, his warm smell and the painting that was displayed.
