“Father!” Liahnna came back inside the palace after one whole day escaping from the meeting with the Crown Prince.

“Liahnna, where have you gone?” Lord Haram asked his daughter in worry while running to her.

Lord Haram checked his daughter carefully if she has got any injuries.

“I’m fine, Father. I lost my way after going to bathroom…” she stuttered with the lie.

The father knew it clear enough that his daughter is lying because she isn’t a good liar. However he chose to play along as he knew she must feel uncomfortable to be in the table with the Crown Prince.

“Alright, it’s good that nothing happens to you. Next time take your servants with you! Don’t go anywhere alone. He's new to you!” said the worried father.

Princess nodded to accept the order. “Yes, Father!”

“Oh by the way, Crown Prince invited us to stay for a few days more. What do you think?” Lord Haram asked. He is always a thoughtful father who would ask for his daughter’s idea rather than telling her to do what he wants. 

Princess was a bit surprised to hear about the invitation. From the beginning, she would refuse right away but at this moment the feeling is different not because she wants to stay but because she wants to see someone again.

“So I’ll have a chance to meet that gardener again…” she murmured in happiness alone.

Lord Haram shook his daughter’s shoulder to snap her out of her thought.

“Liahnna!!!”

“Yes Fahter!”

“Do you want to stay? If you don’t, let’s just go back this evening. Without resting we should be arrived to our town in the morning.” Lord Haram added.

“Mmm Father, I think we should stay. I’m sorry to make you worried about me. I’m fine. Please stay as the invitation!” Princess accepted the invitation as it’s not polite to refuse the Crown Prince’s invitation and she low-key wants to meet that random gardener again.

"Alright, if you don't feel uncomfortable with it." Lord Haram gave a satisfied smile to his daughter for being always thoughtful. Little did he know she is having a special reason to stay. 

After the decision, Lord Haram brought his daughter for a dinner then rest. 

Princess Liahnna couldn't help but to think about that gardener for the whole night. Especially when she thinks about staying here for a few days more would lead her to meet that man again..... The butterflies are flying in her stomach until she fell asleep. 

“Hopefully….. V-shi…” -Princess Liahnna-

NEXT DAY

“V, where are you going?” Crown Prince stopped the second prince when they met at the corridor.

“Good-morning, Hyung! I’m going to my garden. I still have something to plant today.” Prince V bowed to greet his older brother while happily showing some baby trees in his hands.

Crown Prince scoffed in dissatisfy.

“You should start doing something more useful than this, V.” He mocked his younger brother.

Prince V lost his smile to get attacked by his brother but it’s something usual that his brother has been treating him improper like this. He always bears. 

“You’re so good that this kingdom has only you is enough. You’re becoming a king soon. We have no worries to have you as a king. I’m gonna go to my garden now. Please excuse me!” Prince V chose praising way to end the attack. He bowed then turned to leave.

“Lord Haram has come to visit the palace since yesterday. This evening, I'll make a big welcome party for him. Come and join dinner party with us! He has asked about you too. Remember to dress up as a prince not in dirty cloth with mud and dust.” Crown Prince insulted while looking at the second prince from head to toes then left.

Prince was so upset with his brother's looking down words. No matter how he puts his head down, his brother never spares him once. 

“Please don’t mind with Crown Prince, your highness! I’ll tell servant to prepare outfit for you to join the feast this evening. Have a nice day with your planting!” High priest cheered his second prince then left to follow the Crown Prince.

“So that lovely princess is still inside the palace?..... but hmm if I join the dinner, Liahnna will know my real identity.” Prince V was happy to know Princess is still inside the palace but at the same time he was stressed as his real identity will be revealed by then if he joins. 

“Whatever… What I have to do now is to plant my babies today. Let’s go!” the positive prince kept his stress a side then left to his personal garden to plant his baby trees for today. 

-----

Talking about Princess, she tried to think of a way out from her father’s control. Now that her father set a few servants to stay with her, she found it so hard to escape. She wanted to travel around the huge palace but outside as it's her first time to be in this palace. 

Her last choice is to reform into swan and flew away through the window.

“Finally hehe!” Princess managed to escape from her servants by flying out through the window.

She enjoyed the sceneries around the palace but once she was flying nearby the garden she broke the rule to get in yesterday, she slowly landed down.

She landed to the ground, standing at the entrance of the garden in her swan form, still feeling hesitated if she should go in as this is a personal garden of the second Prince.

“Right, no one is allowed to go inside this garden. Hmm I should leave. I shouldn’t do the same mistake.” She sadly said to herself then spread her wings, ready to fly away.

Suddenly …..

“How about you help me planting these baby trees again today too? I’ll keep it as secret from second prince.” A familiar voice to be heard.

Princess put her wings down then turned to find the voice’s owner.

“V-shi!” she recognized the gardener she met yesterday. Princess turned into her human form back.

“V-shi! It’s very nice to meet you again.” She happily ran to the prince without realizing she has crossed the border to enter second prince’s personal garden.

 “Good-morning, Princess!” Prince V downgraded himself to be low-class gardener again to greet princess.

“We really met again.” Princes
