"Hmm hmm, hmm."

I made the rhythm myself as I hummed and now the room was filled with my foot step sounds.

Ahh, but this doll is actually really tall. It's different than when I danced with Lucas last time. It's more hard. But it's movements are too detailed even though its paper! I feel disgusted!

"Acl!"

And I ended up falling embarra.s.singly.

But Lucas laughed at me which made me mad.

"Are you sweeping the floor right now? Is it fun?"

"Eek! What's this! It's too weak! It cannot stand! It can't catch me when I fall! This is weird! And he looks like an egg ghost!"

This thing gave me shame to me who was confident in dancing! To my words, Lucas looked at me with a look 'How can you say that' and spoke.

"Those are some strong mental attacks. It'll get hurt."

"Gasp. Wasn't it just a paper doll? Does he understand me?"

"Of course not."

"...."

Is it fun making fun of people?!

I stood up, angry. Lucas was just watching me while laughing.

"Do you need music? Do you want me to add music?"

Snap.

Then music filled the room. T-This is a music that would win over the world best orchestra.

I don't know who made it but I knew it came out with Lucas's magic.

"It won't be heard outside so dance however you want, princess."

Ack! I don't like you! Pttt!

Then I turned around when I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. It was the paper doll. Wait! Why are you suddenly grabbing my hand?! Why are you wrapping your arm around my waist! And I had to dance with this doll again.

But I can't focus because it's too flappy! A moment later, I did a turn and complained to Lucas again.

"Then can you make a doll that actually looks like a person?"

"Do you think there is something I cannot do?"

Yes!

"Then a handsome oppa face."

"No."

But Lucas didn't accept.

"Why?"

"I don't know. I don't know why but I would not like it."

And there weren't good reasons for it. You, sometimes you are nice but you sometimes act like this. Why not help me when you can!

Ehh. I lied down on the spot after dancing 2 more times.

The paper doll would keep on flapping, and the music is so unfit, and Lucas is laughing, and I can't even focus! Eek, I quit!

Lucas saw me like this then turned the music off. Then the room turned quiet.

"Are you already giving up?"

"It's better to ask Felix to help me to do it this way."

"You are quite cruel."

Then he clicked his tongue and muttered out the words 'Do you want to kill that poor guard?'.

Ha. Then make me a better doll if you worry about Felix! Who told you to give me that kinda thing?

"Ah, I'm worn out."

I didn't focus on Lucas's words and looked up at the chandelier.

The banquet hall in Emerald palace weren't used at all so it was used to practice my dance. But it was very pretty and fancy.

Do I get to invite people and have a banquet after my debutante here?

I was blank as I stared at these pretty walls and gems but I got used to it somehow.

I was amazed that I got used to living a princess's life. Of course gems and golds are still precious. It is. It's life logic!

I just stared at the celling as no one except for Lucas in here. I had some harsh schedules these days. Ahh, my body.

Then the words Hanna told me yesterday while brushing my hair pa.s.sed by my head.

"I heard Isekiel is back."

"Isekiel Alfius?"

Lucas replied right away. It was Isekiel who he saw 6 years ago and was the one who almost became my friend instead of him so he should have remembered.

And according to Hanna, the rumours of Isekiel coming back was great.

She said the young maids were also noisy from that rumours. Now that I think about it, duke Alfius visited Claude once not too long ago.

Then something came out from my memories. That memory which put me into shame 6 years ago! Crrr. Thinking I lost to a 10 year old kid, this cannot be real.

"I'm curious how he looks now."

More like how smart he became now. How much do you have to know and study to graduate as a S cla.s.s? But I didn't play all the time during the past 6 years.

But to my mutter, Lucas spoke.

"Are you interested in Isekiel?"

"Don't talk about it. He always appeared in my head the past 6 years even when reading a book, eating, and sleep that annoyed and bothered me!"

My dark history! Thinking of how much I've read books and studied.

"If you are that curious, go see yourself."

Yes, exactl... What?

What did you just say?

I turned my head to Lucas, not able to understand what he was saying.

Then I was able to look into his crimson eyes. Gasp. I know that face. This is a face the black idiot makes before making a mess!

"You should've told me in the first place. It's not that hard for me anyways."

But his gaze was a bit different than other times. He smiled pretty before I even got what he was thinking.

"It's a special service so no need to thank."

Snap!

Whoosh.

The ribbon on my head came undone and flew away from the strong wind. I was thinking what situation I was in now but soon got the idea.

"What's this?!"

Why am I in the air?! Then I heard a familiar voice above me.

"I was bored anyways. Cool."

"No, not cool! What are you doing?"

"Then have a nice time, friend."

"Hey, you... AHHH! MOM!!"

Seeing his eyes curving which completed his smile was when I started to fall.

"You bad bast*rd!"

The long hair fell like a sparkly and shiny waterfall above me.

I cursed the black idiot a several times! You crazy bast*rd! Mean basta*rd! IDIOT! Wahh! Mom!

Puff!

But today too I slowed down when I almost hit the ground and landed without my any parts hurt.

Ahh! It was scarier than 6 years ago! Is it because of my weight that effected the gravity? Wahh. I don't know. Lucas, you. You!

"...Are you okay?"

Then I heard someone's voice above me.

My hands which was covering my eyes flinched. Gasp. Did someone catch me when I fell? Really?

I looked through my fingers to see that person.

Then a man who looked strange but also familiar came into view.

The silver hair dancing in the wins and the golden eyes were familiar.

But the body, mature eyes, and his size was very different than the boy I met 6 years ago.

I just stared at him wide eyed.

"You always surprise me whenever I meet you."

And when he smiled and spoke softly.

"I wanted to see you, Lady angel."

Lady angel. Lady angel....

The word he lastly said proved that he is the kid I was thinking he was.

What kind of situation is this? What am I doing?

Who is this guy? Why is he smiling at me?

And I was seriously dumbfounded in so long. But this dude was still smiling at me.

Eh, ack. Wait, my eyes! Can you give me some time? What do you want me to do when you shine so bright at me!

But the appearance and the voice, this is Isekiel right? But what. Where did the kid I know go?!

Today too, I fell due to Lucas and I landed on Isekiel's arms. It was like 6 years ago but the difference was that he held me without falling this time.

I realized that I was still in Isekiel's arms.

"Gasp."

GAAa.s.sP, I mean, This kind of princess holding is a bit embarra.s.sing! And isn't this too much? We are grown up lady and a mister!

"P-Put me down please."

I struggled when I thought of that. But only my body moved, nothing moved with me.
