When Felix moved a little, I had glimps of the book's title he was reading,Socials Theory . This is what I talked to Mr. White Dog about.

"Uhh huh. Play with me if you are done."

Felix who would've stood up to play with me flashed a sad smile at me.

"I'm sorry princess. It's going to be hard to play right now since I haven't finished my work."

"Will it take long?"

"I have to memorize 50 Atlantan words after reading this"

Something was wrong. Why is this oppa suddenly like this?

"R-really? But why do you do it?"

When I asked due to these feelings, Felix answered scratching back of his head.

"To be honest, I was touched that day."

"Hmm?"

"I wasn't expecting princess to be calling me a friend."

I started to sweat.

I mean, I did say that to Mr. White Dog, but.... I didn't really mean it. Gasp. Oh no I'm starting to feel guilt.

"That's why I've decided. I am not going to be a friend you will be embarrassd of."

I started to panick at his confident words. Wait, wait. How does studying relate to being my friend?

Thinking with creased brows, a sudden thought flashed in my head.

'Atti doesn't like friends that are more stupid than Atti.'

"....."

My jaws dropped at the words I said back then.

"So I'll do my best, princess."

I sweatdropped at his sparkly shiny puppy eyes. Wh- what? So you are studying for me? B-because I said I didn't like friends that are more stupid than me? That sentence was just to defeat Mr White Dog!

"I mean.... Felix is Atti's friends even though you don't do these?"

"No way. This much is normal to be princess's friend."

"Y- you don't need to."

"I, Felix Robain will be born as a new Felix."

Felix stayed stubborn. Forming a fist with his hand, he was fired up. I couldn't do anything other than to leave the room saying farewell.

O-oh, no. I feel like I deceived that nave oppa again. Why is he so innocent?!

I felt guilt thinking about Felix's shimmering eyes. Crowl. I-I didn't mean it to flow this way!

I came out to the garden and washed my face. Ahhh! Really! What to do with that oppa! Of course there is my fault for spitting out those stupid words. Sniff. Idiot me. Atti is a bug. Sob sob.

Rustle.

Then I heard a rustle by the bush. I stopped splashing water on my face at the sound.

Huh? What's that?

I saw some black fur through the green vines.

I wondered what it was. What is that? Dust? But didn't that just move?

Rustle.

Gasp. The black hairy thing moved again. Feeling the curiousity inside me growing, I approached it with slow, silent steps. Then I pushed the bush with the black fur out of my way and....

"Gasp, cute!"

Big round eyes looked up at me. Gasp, what is this? A fairy? Just what is this cute creature? This hairy black creature wasn't a dog or a cat. I don't know what it is, but this is too cute!

"I'll give you foodie, come here."

Did such an animal live in the Ruby Palace? I was overly excited that I reached my hand out to a baby creature. I wanna touch him! I wanna pat-pat him!

But that thing stared at me for a while, but then dashed away.

"Ah, wait!"

The hairy thing ran fast into the bush. Ahh, no! Let me touch you first!

I started to chase the black fur.

"Blackie!"

Already gave ya a name. This it the first time feeling my great destiny with someone or a creature besides that beautiful unnie in my dreams!

"Blackie, where are you?"

Tsk tsk, come here. Come here, we already played tag for long. I will give you foodies and brush your fur.

I searched places I didn't go often for Blackie.

Ah! Over there! Black fur! I silently walked towards it and jumped over on the black fur.

"Got ya!"

"Ugh!"

But the last thing I heard was one guy's voice.

Gasp?! Is this not Blackie? But before expressing my curiousity, I could only scream.

"Waack!"

Wait! I'm falling, I'm falling!

Rustle!

I felt leaves and spikes scratch all on my skin. It wasn't a little harm as I threw myself with all my weight.

O Ouch! I stayed still for a moment from the pain of the scratched skin from the spiky vines.

"Ugh. What's this all of a sudden?"

What I heard was a low voice from a guy. I stopped breathing after I looked up where the sound came from with my teary eyes.

"Hey, it hurts. Stop pulling my hair."

It was a very pretty crimson eyes similar to a rose. It could've been scary as it was red of the horror movie characters but right now I could only define it beautiful.

So what was I doing with your hair....

"Get off me now."

"Gasp."

OHMYGOSH I was pulling his hair! Moreover I was also on top of him from the fall. It makes sense now why the pain wasn't as big as I thought!

Shocked, I backed away instantly. Then the guy, as he waited, got up and touched his wrist.

It seems like I twisted it when I jumped on him. He frowned touching his back neck.

And when I looked down, I saw few black strings supposedly to be his hair.

Haha.... Now that I see it properly this is a black hair with blue light mixed with it, unlike Blackie's....

I let go of his hair on the grass without this person knowing.

"This little thing is heavy."

Anyways why do this oppa look like a doll?

"Who are you?"

He looks like he is around 17, 18? Appearance like a highschooler, a highschooler with a pretty face enough to make people's heart beat fast.

But not that 'pretty' for a girl.... Like that idol one of my friend in last life told me about. In one word, its pretsome, pretty and handsome.

"Who are you oppa? Not anyone can come in here."

"I'm not anyone."

Is he a worker here? That's why he is here. But Ruby Palace bans guys so he cannot come in here.

Of course except for Felix who Claude personaly ordered to look after me. It had been 2 years now, but he didn't do much because things were always so calm there.

That is why delivering me to Claude and playing with me when Lilly was busy was all.

"Looks like you are a decedent. When did Kailum had a daughter?"

What is this oppa saying? Of course I am a decedent as I am the only child living here. And what? Kailum? Have I heard it somewhere before?

"How old are you?"

"Me, 7."

Wait. Why am I answering his questions?

I was answering to his questions that was really straightforeward that I didn't know I was answering them.

He knew I am royal blooded, but he didn't seem to mind.

I was now really confused. Really just who is he?

"Oppa, who are you really? What were do doing here?"

Hearing my question, he held up his left hand.

"Catching this."

"Blackie!"

In his hands was something I was searching for the hardest. The golden eyes looking up at me shimmered.

That thing made a crowl sound and swayed his body for release, but stopped when the crimson eyes moved from me to it.

"Is he your's, oppa?"

"Is this your first time seeing this perhaps?"

What kind of question is that? Obviously. That is why I asked you. He was speaking as it was surprising that I saw Blackie for the first time today. What. Didn't you come here to take Blackie?

"Princess!"

Huh? But I heard a voice familiar to me. This is Felix's voice. He must've felt bad leaving me for studying. Or maybe Lilly told him to find me.

I decided to call Felix because it was awkward being alone with this stranger.

"Fel...."

Snap.

Something unbelievable happened after the guy here snapped with his fingers.

"Just where did she go?"

Felix who came over with sounds of rustle would just turn away from me even after his eyes met with mine. He also turned his head a few times as if he was still looking for me.

"Fe-Felix?"

It was the same when I called his name.

Snap.

This guy snapped his hand again. Then Felix spoke as if he thought of something.

"Ah! Right. I only memorized 10 words of Atlantan. I should go find princess after that."

Then Felix went away to other places to search for me

"It becomes annoying if we are found."

I saw Felix leave with a mental shock.

"Especially Obelia bast*rds act crazy everytime they see people."

This guy in front of me made a face as if it was annoying just to think about it and moved his gaze to me.

"So I tried to stay here as quiet as possible but I was found by you. What to do."

He then examined my face for a while, thinking about something. I saw Blackie struggle again letting out the sounds of a crowl. However, I was focused on something else.

"Hey."

My heart was beating the way faster than before.

"What did you just do?"

"Just got rid of some annoying things. But it's weird. Mana became weaker and senses also became weaker too, out of my expectations"
