Junsu opened his eyes in shock and looked around, the fact that he was in his chamber safe in his bed calmed him down a little but he was still shaking and sweating, he had the same nightmare again, both yunho and Yoochun were out tonight, they had something to do they said before leaving and even thought they had like a hundred soldier to guard the princess's chamber and the castle Junsu could not feel safe, he wanted his hyungs back already. Before whenever he had a nightmare he would open his eyes and see Yoochun there holding his hand and patting his head warmly and lovingly and it always made him feel safe and calm but tonight he was not here and the fact that he was not here made Junsu feel supper sad for some reason, he wanted to cry

Crawling up in a ball Junsu hugged his knees and used his silky white sleeping gown as a tissue to wipe his tears away feeling lonely and afraid Junsu felt like everyone is leaving him, his mother, his father, and now even his chunie hyung and yunie hyung left him alone so shaking feeling like a rope sliding around his neck wanting to strangle him till death

Feeling so frustrated Junsu started to struggle against the invisible rope knocking the goblet of water on the nightstand to the floor shattering it into tiny pieces

At once the doors burst open and twenty soldiers including donghae ran to his aid all with their swords at the ready but seeing the shaking princess donghae shooed everyone out at once and closed the doors, placing the sword back in its sheath he walked to Junsu and knelt in front of his bed gathering the broken glass before he placed it aside and looked at the princess

'Your highness' whispering softly seeing the glittering tears in Junsu's eyes donghae tried to speak in the softest tone he could manage

'I want hyung~' sobbed Junsu

'They will be back by morning your highness, a couple of hours more' donghae tried softly to take Junsu's hands off his neck

'I want chunie hyung and yunie hyung~' cried Junsu like a baby wanting his mother

'Then sleep a little your highness and they will be back soon'

'No~ I want hyungs~ I can't sleep I want hyungs~' again sobbing

'Then how about you dress warmly and come with me? I will make you a goblet of hot chocolate to calm down and we will wait for them to come back, they should be on their way now' smiled donghae

Looking at donghae for a few seconds Junsu nodded his head, anything is better than staying here alone with his monsters in the dark, he sat up and waited till donghae went to the couch next by and brought him his warm rob to wear and tie around his waist, wearing the warm sleepers too Junsu would not usually walk out of his chamber looking like that but tonight he really did not care

'Come' donghae walked right beside him leading the way to the kitchens, it was four in the morning and the chefs and maids were already up to prepare the breakfast for everyone in the castle, after all cooking for over two hundred person not including the army was a lot of work that took a lot of time

It was a half an hour walk from the royal chambers into the kitchens but as they reached and entered everyone in there got shocked to see the princess, bowed for Junsu and obviously confused they did not know what to do

'Go back to your works; the princess just wants a goblet of hot chocolate' stated donghae as everyone bowed and went back to his job while donghae started to make the hot chocolate for the princess

Looking around Junsu saw everyone working, some people were cutting meet, others cooking vegetables and others cutting them, everyone had his job to do but one of them caught Junsu's eyes, he was already cooking something in a pan, a food that Junsu never saw before so curious Junsu tugged on donghae's sleeve:' donghae, what is that?' he pointed at the food in the pan and pouted

'That is rice mixed with eggs and vegetables your highness, they make it as breakfast for the workers and the soldiers' he smiled explaining

Nodding his head and waiting for the hot chocolate Junsu did not take his eyes of that huge deep pan with the rice mix in it, it smelled and looked good so again tugging on donghae's sleeve he pouted:' why did not I ever taste it?'

'Because the princess and the royal family eats better food your highness, but my lord likes it too'

'Chunie hyung~ likes it?' pouted Junsu and donghae nodded

Knowing that Yoochun likes this dish he pouted and stood up, he wanted to taste is so badly so walking to the chef he stood there, the man was huge a twice as wide as Junsu with huge belly in front of him and long mustache so feeling a little afraid of the guy but still wanting to eat the food Junsu pulled on the man's sleeve

Turning around to see who is pulling his sleeve the man surprisingly smiled at the princess:' your highness' he bowed a little

'I want to try~' pouted Junsu cutely as everyone in the kitchen looked at them, like if time froze they stopped in mid action looking at the princess

'It still needs a couple of minutes your highness but I will bring you a plate when it's done' the man smiled at Junsu who smiled back and nodded before walking back to his seat beside donghae and waiting for his hot chocolate

'Here you go your highness' smiled donghae handing Junsu the silver goblet filled with hot chocolate and cream on top

Smiling Junsu took the goblet and blew on it a little before sipping, the hot chocolate calmed his body and took his mind off what he did not want to think about, so sipping more and more he soon finished the goblet and felt all better

'Felling better now?' smiled donghae softly

Nodding his head Junsu now waited for his new food and as he waited he looked at donghae:' where did they go? It's so far~'

'There were troubles in the woods at the boundary between us and the kingdom of the west, someone is causing troubles and they went with a squad of the army to search for him your highness, beside they needed to check on something in a nearby village outside the capital, they will be back soon I promise'

'Why did not they take me too~ I could help search~' pouted Junsu but the pout turned into a smile at once as the same huge chef brought him the dish with the rice mix and Junsu wanting to eat was stopped by donghae:' wait your highness, I'm sorry but it's my job to make sure there is not poison in here'

Blinking Junsu waited till donghae brought an extra fork and tried the food, chewing and swallowing he nodded:' safe to eat…sorry Shindong it's my job' donghae apologized to the chef who smiled and shook his head watching the princess waiting for him to try his food

Junsu held the fork and tried a little of the food, chewing and swallowing he smiled, it tasted nice so grinning he almost squealed clapping his hands:' this is good~'

Grinning Shindong bowed and went back to cook more rice mix for the soldiers while Junsu ate happily

'YAH! DONGHAE WHERE IS THE PRINCE…ss' out of the nowhere came Yoochun's sound yelling as he entered ran to the kitchens but seeing Junsu eating happily he calmed down:' your highness'

'Chunie hyung~ your back' smiled Junsu hugging Yoochun at once:' yunie hyung too?' he pouted

'Yes… the king is waiting for us in his chamber your highness' Yoochun smiled

'But I'm eating' pouted Junsu

'Then donghae will bring you your food over to his majesty's chamber right hae?'

Donghae nodded at once

Smiling Junsu nodded and clumsily wanting to take a step forward he forgot about his gown so tripping by its edge he was about to fall right forward into the floor but instead he felt a strong warm arms circling his waist and in a quick move he felt the world shift and suddenly here he wear carried bridal style in Yoochun's strong arms

'Careful your highness' smiled Yoochun about to put Junsu down reluctantly but Junsu wrapped his arms around Yoochun's neck:' chunie hyung~ carry me' grinned Junsu and smiling Yoochun tightened his hold around Junsu as he nodded walking together with donghae keeping his distance behind them holding the silver tray with the food

'I was so afraid… I felt something struggling me~ ' whispered Junsu burring his face in the crack of Yoochun's neck feeling the warmth wash all over him

'I'm sorry, I won't leave you at night again' promised Yoochun

'I don't want to stay alone~ I had a nightmare… sniff… and chunie hyung was not there to make it alright…sniff… I hate this… no more alone~'

'You won't be alone, my princess will never be alone, I promise I will always be there by your side, I will always be there to protect you, my princess' whispered Yoochun and again Junsu felt his face hot and his heart beating fast, again he covered his face in Yoochun's chest and waited till they reached the king's chamber, entering Yoochun knelt in front of the couch and as he frowned but placed Junsu on it, donghae placed the tray on the table in front of Junsu, bowed to the king and left

'Su, where were you love? I was worried you were not in your chamber' yunho hugged Junsu pulling him on his lap

'Donghae took me to the kitchen to make me a hot chocolate because… I had a nightmare~' pouted Junsu sadly tears almost filling his eyes again

'And then…err… oh Shindong allowed me to try his cooking… hyung it's so good~' smiled Junsu pointing at the food

'I'm sorry dear but I promise, we won't leave you both alone at night again' smiled yunho patting Junsu's head as he held the tray feeding his beloved brother while standing at the side Yoochun watched his love, his princess with heart filled with love and anger, they went to search all over for Heechul but he escaped, they found a lot of his spies that they filled the dungeons with them but still no one knew where is their leader, some took a wild guess saying he went to the kingdom of the west to recruit more people to take over the thrown and so Yoochun sent a word with a massager to the protector of the kingdom of the west, even though he did not know the man but he had to warn them from the new threat hiding in their lands, right?
