‘Luhan’s right...’ muttered Lara while thinking what Luhan said earlier. She leaned her head on the pillow and laid down on the bed as she took a deep breath.

   Everything seemed absurd, but when Lara was in doubt about what happened, she would often follow her heart. The comfortable and secure feeling that she felt when the cats around her was similar to the feeling when the 12 guys were around. With 12 people, she even felt a stronger feeling than before.

   Lara decided to consult with Kate about the issue, she was the only person who could give her an explanation of things that weren’t taught in school and things that Lara couldn’t find the information anywhere.

   In her life, not just once Lara felt things that wasn’t normal happened in her life. When she felt sad and unconsciously tears flowed, she could feel the sudden weather changed and suddenly the rain was falling. Likewise, when she felt cheerful, sun was shining brightly and the flowers were blooming.

   She also could not explain her interest with something dark. Her favorite color is black and she often played a deep and mysterious melody in the music room. Whether it was still shadowed by the sorrow of the loss of her parents or because of something else, she wasn’t sure.

   She decided to get out of bed, taking a bath and changed her clothes. Her mind could not be separated from the search for a plausible explanation of all these incidents.

   After that Lara was rushed to go downstairs, curious about further explanation, which she hoped would make sense. The first person to greet her was Kate.

   “Lara dear, are you okay? How are you feeling?” Kate worried.

   “A little bit... surprised, but I'm fine.” She smiled to get rid of Kate’s anxiety.

   “Okay, then let's have breakfast.” Said Kate. Smelling the aroma of pancakes and fresh milk in the room stimulated her appetite.

   As she was eating her breakfast, Lara asked Kate, “Where are they?” She asked, assuming that Kate was already knew of the incidents experienced by Lara this morning.

“They are in the yard waiting for their trainer.” Kate replied.

“Kate?” Lara said slowly.

“Yes, dear?”

   “What they were saying. Is that true?” Lara asking Kate for an explanation  gradually.

“Yes...I hope you can hear this explanation directly from your parents but...” Kate lost her voice and felt guilty because she made her sad by mentioning both her parents again.

   “Kate, I’m alright.” She cried while holding Kate’s hand.         

   “Long before you were born ...” she said slowly.

   “There have been wars and power struggles between the Royal Families. Your father was one of the Royal Families called the Clarence Royal Families. At that time, your father realized of his position which was the head of Clarence family.” Kate said then sighed before continuing her explanation.

   “When the seizure of power intensified, you father decided not to intervene and lived like ordinary noble family without wanting to usurp the throne higher as did the other Royal Families.” Kate explained slowly.

   Lara was listening and watching carefully.

   “However, the struggle for power has become increasingly severe and made Clarence Royal Families also in danger. For that, you father and mother sacrificed their lives to resolve this problem. They were succeeded to stop the war but they were concerned about the salvation for your future. That was why they decided to find a bodyguard for you. Because now you're an adult, other Royal Families will start to attack you.” Said Kate.

   “Lara, I know it is impossible for you to believe it with all that has happened. But, listen to your heart...I was instructed to take care of you, I will do what I can.” Kate said as she walked towards Lara and hugged her.

“Thank you Kate. For always taking care of me.” Said Lara and hugged her.

“You don’t need to thank me. It is my duty, I am proud to serve you all this time.” Kate replied.

“Please do not talk like that. You are just like a family to me.” Lara said sadly.

KNOCK KNOCK

Suho knocked the door and entered. Suho walked over to Lara and Kate then said, “Princess, I want you to meet with our trainer. He is in the yard.” He said, asking Kate’s consent.

Kate nodded then told Lara to join with Suho.

   “I hope that their trainer can give a clearer explanation of all this.” Kate said.

   Lara then smiled, “Yes. Well, see you later...” Then she hugged Kate while saying a glimpse of goodbye with her.

   Lara began walking toward the courtyard with Suho behind her.
