Luhan woke up to the sound of Yixing's loud laughter. He's not really surprised as this was expected but he hates it.

"Will you ever shut up?!" Luhan shouted and threw a pillow at Yixing

"Nah, being noisy is what I am" 

Luhan put a pillow over his head, as if it will block the noise 

"Oh you're awake" Yixing pretended to be shocked and sat on the chair beside Luhan's bed

"You're the most stupid thing I know" 

Luhan sat up and started to organize his bed, starting from the covers to the pillows

"I am not a thing, for your information" Yixing replied

"You do look like one" Luhan teased, he loves to tease the younger until he wins

"And you smell like one" 

"How does a thing smells?" 

"I don't know, every smell is different"

"You just lost" Luhan smirked and grabbed his book from the table

"Ugh, read again? Aren't you sick of that magic thing? Let's go gardening instead, or catch worms" Yixing whined

"First of all, I love reading and magic, second, worms are disgusting" Luhan stated

He sat on his usual spot and opened the book to continue reading where he stopped 

"Wha- wor-, Worms are lovely!" Yixing defended

"For you, but not for me" 

"Well-"

A knock on Luhan's door was heard again

"Early in the morning and it's bothering me again" Luhan muttered and threw the book on his bed

He got up and opened the door harshly

"What?"

"Good morning my prince-"

"Get to the point already" 

"Your parents are asking fo-"

"Presence again? Alright I'll be there" 

The girl, whose name is Aeri, bowed nervously to Luhan before leaving

"What do they even want?!" Luhan shouted right after he closed the door

"Just accept your fate, Prince" Yixing smiled teasingly and got up

"I'll come back later" He pat Luhan's back before leaving

Luhan looked at the book he threw seconds ago before going out, he walks towards the throne with an irritated face

"Good morning, sweetie" Baekhyun greeted with a warm smile. It annoys Luhan that they get happy just by pissing him off

"What do you want?" Luhan's tone made Chanyeol look at him

"What's with that?" Chanyeol asked

"That? What that?" 

"Your tone" Chanyeol answered

"Oh that? Sorry, I just got tiny amount of sleep and it's bugging me" Luhan lied, he doesn't really want to see his parents early in the morning because he knows that they'll just get in his nerves

"It's alright" Baekhyun assured

"Now, Luhan, I think it's time for you to know the dos and don'ts especially since you're a prince" Chanyeol stood up with a folded paper in his hand

"I already know" Luhan replied with a confident. He's old enough to know those simple things

"You don't" 

Luhan has the urge to roll his eyes

"I want you to read this all within this day. No excuses" Chanyeol handed him the paper

Luhan unfolded the paper and unfolded it and unfolded it. "What the hell is this" He mumbled as he continued unfolding the paper

"Isn't this too many?" He asked once he finished unfolding it

"Too many or not, read it. You are dismissed" 

Luhan walked away while reading some of the things he needs to obey

'Must be ready to protect anyone, anytime' He reads with his mind "Of course" He said

'Must be respectful to anyone, stranger or not' "Is this even a responsibility? this seems like a lesson to a child" Luhan irritatingly said

He kept walking until he reached his room. He never stopped reading until he was near the last parts

"Don't talk to humans? Well that's a no for me, I've ready planned on doing it. Sorry Appa" Luhan commented

"Don't go outside of the kingdom, again appa, I'm sorry" Luhan bowed at the mirror before sitting on his bed

"Don't let humans see you?" Come to think of it, no one ever saw him before, even that guy he fancies

"Maybe I should let him see me?" Luhan thinks but immediately shook his head "No! It's already written on the don'ts" 

Having an inner battle with yourself is the worst

"But what if we become close? Will he like me back?" Luhan looked at the paper before folding it and placing it neatly on the drawer

"That rules just woke my inner wolf" 

Luhan stepped in front of the mirror and looks at himself

"I can do this, I'm the prince, right?" He told himself and nodded. Before he takes an action, he needs to convince himself the most, debating whether it's a must or not, good or bad, dangerous or not. 

Luhan peaks at his door to see if anyone is present, luckily, no one is.

He shook off his nervousness and began walking calmy

He puts his sweating hands in his pockets as he whistles while walking

"My prince" Luhan's eyes widened from the sudden sound

It was Aeri, his parents' favorite dwarf, she's also an archer and no matter how hard Luhan trains, he can't beat her. She's kind and quiet, but she also annoys Luhan for some reason

"Where are you headed to?" She smiled

"Why? Did my parents ask about it?" Luhan raised his brows

Aeri shook her head and smiled again "I'm just wondering, my prince" She replied

"Well, Aeri-" Luhan stopped for a bit and think of a lie

"I'm just going to get some fresh air" Luhan thinks it's a stupid lie but Aeri believes in everything he says so all is good for him

Aeri nodded and bowed before parting ways with him

"That was easy" He breathed and continued walking until he reached the exit portal of Kordarin 

The colors on the circles are too inviting 

"Well, if you want me to" Luhan shrugged and smiled before stepping in it

Everything goes blurry and colors are everywhere

Until it stops

He's outside

He can see the portal behind him and a giant house nearby

"We meet again" He spread his arms and breathed the fresh air

Luhan looked around but he didn't saw the guy who was always on the window, talking to himself. Luhan always watched him from afar but now, it's time to get closer.

This is the time where he wants to take all the risk
