“V!!!”

Crown Prince angrily shouted once he saw Prince V and Princess Liahnna came back to palace in close skinship condition as Prince V wouldn’t let go of Princess Liahnna’s hand at all.

Crown Prince walked to them madly.

“Liahnna come here!” Crown Prince said then was trying to pull princess from Prince V but Prince V quickly came in front of princess and hid her behind him.

“Hyung! Be respectful to the girl.” Prince V said madly to his older brother. 

Crown Prince got so furious. He clenched his teeth while his eyes are turning red.

“Princess and I are lover now. I asked her to date after I learnt that she rejected to marry you. And you should stop forcing her because I’m not going to let you do this anymore. And most importantly, spare Lord Haram. You’re doing it wrongly.” Prince V became serious telling his moody brother to stop his activity.

Crown Prince became angrier. “Who are you to tell me to this and that? I’m the crown prince not you.”

Prince V smirked. “I have no interest in throne but I’m not going to stand still seeing you being wrong and carefree with what is happening in the whole kingdom. West village is facing hunger disaster. Did you even care? And you’re catching a high lord for no reason… Hyung, I can’t unsee. They’re my people too. Free Lord Haram!” Prince V educated his brother and demanded to free Lord Haram again.

“Because of a girl, you’re turning into a prince behavior and fighting with me… haha V, you don’t care about those people. You only care about yourself and this princess.” Crown Prince tried to attack Prince V back.

“Hyung, can I tell you something? I’m respecting you out of respect not fear. And if you say I’m acting as a prince, then I’ll just follow it. Okay, now I’m acting as a prince, the son of the queen and king of this kingdom. I want to use my position to tell Crown Prince to free Lord Haram.” Prince V became more serious, showing his position power in front of his brother.

“V… are you saying I’m just a son of a consort? You’re disrespecting me.” Crown Prince became hurt and ashamed at the same time.

Princess startled as it’s her first time to find out both princes are actually half-brothers. “They’re having different mother… so Prince V is the son of the queen… but why is the throne not belong to him?...” Princess was thinking curiously alone.

Prince V ignored his brother. He closed his eyes and chanted something then a few seconds later, high priest was summoned, appeared right among them.

“Your highness, why are you calling me?” High priest bowed to the royals then asked Prince V.

“Do you know Crown Prince has caught Lord Haram?... Whatever his reason is, Lord Haram is a guest. We shouldn’t disrespect him. Talk with your crown prince and I want Lord Haram come back within one hour with no condition.” Prince V gave order to high prince then grabbed Princess to go with him.

“Please have a good rest my prince.” High priest accepted the order and bowed until Prince V and Princess completely left them.

Crown Prince was painful alone after Prince V mentioned his background in front the girl he loves.

“V… I don’t feel safe as long as you’re here.” Crown Prince murmured his fear in front of high priest.

High priest sighed in stress as he can foresee the situation between two royals will become more complicating.

-----

After leaving Crown Prince, Prince V walked princess to her room.

“Leave me and princess alone!” Prince V gave order to servants to leave the room.

“Yes your highness.” Servants quickly left as order.

Once the servants left, Prince V approached to hug Princess Liahnna.

“Lord Haram is gonna be freed soon. Please don’t worry, my princess.” Prince V consoled princess.

Princess wrapped her arms around his waist back. “Will Crown Prince agree to spare my father? He looks so angry.” Princess replied with her worry and started sobbing again.

Prince V released the hug and patted her face. “Liahnna, you may have heard it right, I’m the son of queen and king. Though he’s the crown prince, he has time to listen to me too.” Prince said with a smile.

Princess frowned. She became more curious why Prince V isn’t chosen to be the king.

Prince V understood princess’s curiousness. He burst out laughing.

“Eh? Your highness, why are you laughing?” princess asked cluelessly.

“You’re thinking why I’m not chosen to be the crown prince, right?” Prince V guessed.

Princess nodded.
