“Exactly where are we now?” I asked.

“It’s Exo-k’s lair.” Suho-oppa answered.

I looked around to find a surprisingly neat room with all the amenities in it. There are paintings hanging on the wall, battle equipments decorated at the corner, and a mirror? A mirror covering the whole wall?

“Why do you have a mirror here? It’s so big.” I examined my face in it. There’s dirt on my face. How can I be careless? I’ll have to wi-

“One reason is for us to know how we look.” Suho-oppa wiped the dirt on my face. *blush* “The other is for our fighting practice. We can see how we progress with our powers through this mirror; it’s magical. It tells you the truth.” He explained.

“How can that help with your skills?” I looked at him.  How can a mirror that tells the truth help them? O.o

“You desperately need to learn your lessons.” He shook his head.

“Yah! I’m gonna study from now on, okay?” You don’t have to point it out. *pouts*

“You better be studying ‘cause you’ll need it more now; you’re gonna be facing the greatest responsibility there is: protecting Exo by giving us energy.” D.o-oppa said.

“I understand oppa. So where do we start? You’re gonna teach me how to fight, right?” bring it on. I started to take my gown off but then I realize that there were 6 freaking hot guys around me now. Wrong move. Stupid girl, at least show some etiquette. *mental face-palmed*

“Oops, sorry. *blush* I’m just gonna change. Where can I change?” I asked Suho-oppa.

“There.” He pointed at the door.

“Just give me a minute; I’ll just change.” I closed the door and took of my gown revealing my comfortable clothes underneath. *exhales* much better.

“Okay, I’m ready. What do want me to do?” I look at them.

“What are you wearing Noona?” Sehun examined at me with a surprised look.

“My clothes. Why? Do I look bad?” I faced the mirror. I look fine.

“No. You look like a peasant.” Kai snickered.

“What’s wrong with it? I use this whenever I go out of the castle.” Ooops. Shouldn’t  have said that.

“aha! That’s why we couldn’t find you. Now that we know that you have a disguise…” he smirked. “It’ll be easy to find you.” Oh great..Just great.

I glared at him. “Why am I stuck with you?”

“Not yet Princess. There are 4 more days left till your birthday.” He smirked again. I hate that.

“I know that.” Hmph!

“Okay cut it out. Princess, let’s start your first lesson: sword wielding.” D.o-oppa gave me a wooden sword. “Follow my lead. Just hold the grip like this.” He showed me then I followed. “Yes, that’s right. Just hold it like that and keep following me. Araseo?” I nodded.

---After a couple of hours---

“Aren’t you two getting tired of that?” Sehun whined. “I’m hungry.” He pouted.

I glanced over D.o oppa for agreement. “Okay, let’s stop for now.” He said.

“Yes. Noona, let’s eat.” Sehun pulled my sleeve.

I leaned the wooden sword on the wall. “Okay okay. Stop being a child Sehun.” I chuckled. “Come everyone, dinner should be served shortly.” I gestured for them to follow me.

---At the dinning hall---

“Haera, how’s your time with exo-k?” my father asked scooping a spoonful of soup form his bowl.

“It’s…productive…I guess.” I looked at D.o-oppa.

“The Princess had been cooperative your majesty. I taught her to wield a sword.” He proudly said. “And the princess was excellent in it.”

“That’s quite impressive. My little girl wielding a sword.” He laughed.

“Father…” I whispered. “I’m not a little girl anymore.”

“You’ll always be, my princess.” He my hair. I smiled.

*Horn blows*

“What’s wrong? That’s the signal for an intruder.” My mother stood from her throne.

“This hour? Who might it be?” I asked.

Without answering my question, my father said “Search for the intruder, now!” he commanded.

“We can help Your Highness.” Suho-oppa stood up.

“Yes of course. Go immediately.” With Kai’s power, they disappeared.
