"Princess Erysthea, your parents are here. And the dinner is ready."
The princess sighed the moment she heard the voice of her guardian. She suddenly stood up and check herself in the mirror. After a long time, her parents will join her for dinner so she needs to be presentable.
"Princess, are you awake?"
"Yes. I am coming. Just a moment," she said as she comb her hair once more.
When she thinks she's ready, she quickly runs to the door and opens it. She stopped for a moment when she saw her guardian. Guardian Chase is in a formal suit and the princess can't deny that he was so handsome. She also smells the good scent of her guardian.
"Shall we, Princess?" Guardian Chase suddenly asked.
"Yes."
They headed to the dining room and while walking, the princess secretly glance at Guardian Chase. She doesn't understand why for all of these years, she just now realizes that he is a handsome man.
"Good evening King and Queen," Princess Erysthea greeted her parents.
She can't believe that her parents were there, sitting at the table and looking at her.
"Good evening our Princess. How's your day?" Queen Louise asked.
"It's fine," the princess answered with a smile on her face.
"Guardian Chase told us that you passed the exam about the three princes," King Oliver said while looking straightly into the princess' eyes.
"Yes, King. I'm always making sure that I passed every exam," she answered.
She missed her parents but because they were eating dinner, she needs to be formal with them. She's not allowed to hug or kiss her parents until the meal is done.
"That's good to hear. So do you have a choice between the three?" King Oliver asked directly to the princess.
Princess Erysthea we're a bit disappointed. It looks like her parents join her in dinner just to ask this question.
"No. I'm sorry. I think it's too early to answer that question. And besides, I didn't met them personally so how can I say who is the best for me."
King Oliver nodded. Her daughter has a point so he will not force her to answer the question. While Queen Louise proudly smiled at her daughter.
