*Princess Ana Mae's Pov;*
"I just hope we're not going to encounter your evil cousin your highness," Leana mumbled after we finished preparing ourselves for school. Today is our first day in this University and I just hope that everything will turn out well.
"How I wish the Gods would listen to your plea Leana," I answered. I'm not afraid of Amira but I just don't wanna start a war early in the morning and especially that it's our first day in class. That would be terrible!
"Surely they will," she said in an almost whisper tone. I wasn't able to hear her words properly because she's standing near the door of our room while I'm fixing my bed before we leave for our first class.
"What did you say?" I asked while arranging my pillows. She just shrugged her shoulders as if telling me that it was nothing.
"Gosh! You're starting to be creepy Lean. Don't you know that?" I joked.
She then smirked at me before answering, "Having Amira as your cousin is surely the creepiest thing you will ever imagine!"
We both laugh with what she said. If only Amira could hear us, I'm a hundred percent sure that she will freak out.
"You're crazy! We better hurry before our prof went mad over us!" I told her.
"You're right! We don't want to get some disciplinary actions on our first day of school, don't we?" We both laugh hard then she took her favorite book from her bag. As usual she's reading while we're on our way to our classroom. Having Leana by my side is really amazing. She's not just a servant to me, because she's more like a sister and bestfriend.
We were halfway to our classroom when we heard noises. Some were shouting like they have seen something that made their hearts go wild.
"What do you think is going on here?" I asked Leana who's currently reading her book. Geeez , her addiction to books is something I can't really understand.
"I don't know your highness," she answered still focusing on the book she's reading.
"Oh really Leana? We're in the middle of this hallway and about to be late for our first class, yet here you are reading while walking?" I said as if telling her that she's really unbelievable.
"I'm sorry your highness," she apologized before returning the book inside her bag.
I just smirked at her and was about to check on the reason why the crowd suddenly go wild, when someone bumped into me.
"Ouch!" I yelped and tried to check my left shoulder if it's still in it's proper place. The impact was so damn strong that I thought I'd lost it.
"Your highness are you okay?" Leana asked worriedly. She check my left shoulders as well.
"You! Who do you think you are to disrespect the princess of Citrine?" she yelled at the guy who bumped at me. The crowd gasp after hearing what Leana said.
"She's the princess of Citrine?" I heard someone whispered.
"Well, young lady it's not my intention to bump into your princess," the guy answered. His voice is so manly and it sent shivers to my spine. And for some unknown reasons, it sounded like a beautiful melody to my ears. This is not right! I should not be feeling this way towards a stranger.
"Well mister, whether it's your intention or not but atleast apologize to her! Don't you have manners?" Leana shouted angrily.
I look up to see the face of the arrogant guy who have the nerve to bump into a princess like me. But I was literally lost when our eyes met. It feels like I'm seeing millions of stars in his dark blue eyes. His shoulder length gray hair were like ashes dancing with the wind. And his perfect jawline, pointed nose and masculine body made him look like a God who have just descended from the Heaven Realm.
"What's wrong your highness? Are you hurt?" Leana asked worriedly, she probably noticed that I spaced out.
"Well, I guess your princess fall for my handsome prince," the tall guy behind the gray haired guy spoke. Leana was suddenly pissed with his answer.
"You shut up! I'm not talking to you rust haired guy!" she yelled at him. The guy was about to attack her but the gray haired guy stopped him. He's probably pissed with what Leana said. But did he just said prince? So this gray haired jerk guy is a prince?
"Look ladies! Today is our first day here so we're very sorry if we cause you trouble. We are both tired and we need some rest, we had a long journey. We're sorry!" he apologized politely. Well, this gray haired guy is not as arrogant as I thought. He obviously knows how to apologize for his mistake.
"Sorry? You almost rip my princess's left shoulder! Do you think your sorry will compensate the pain you have caused her?" The two guys went silent for awhile. It makes me think that they really want to kick Leana for being so loud but something is stopping them. And that made me confuse.
"Leana it's fine. I'm not hurt, my shoulder is still fine. We better hurry we have a class to attend to, remember?" I reminded her.
"Oh my! Let's go your highness! These jerks wasted so much of our time!" Then she grabbed my wrist and we both run towards the direction of our classroom, leaving the two guys behind us with curiosity in their faces.
We were both panting when we reach our classroom. The eyes of our professor automatically caught us. She looks so angry!
"Good morning ma'am!" we greeted in unison.
"I really think you are both aware with your daily class schedules. And you do know that you are 25 minutes late for your first subject, don't you?" she asked raising her brows. We both nodded in response and wasn't able to say a single word.
"Who among the two of you is the princess of Citrine?" she asked. I slowly raised my hand then she started to scan me from head to toe.
"Rules in the palace does not apply here your highness. Yes you are a princess but in my class I am your superior! And as your superior you have to follow my rules. Did you understand Princess Ana Mae Villashne?"
I was literally shy with what she said, especially when I saw my classmates whispering like bees. Well, they're probably thinking that I'm a brat princess. But it wasn't my fault, it was not my intention to be late. It was that gray haired guy who caused this!
"But it was not our intention to be late! Something happened while we were on our way here!" Leana protested. I noticed how the face of our professor started to look more angry.
"Leana, stop!" I whispered trying to stop her. Our explanation won't matter anymore.
"We are very sorry for being late ma'am. We promise this won't happen again," I apologized to our professor. She then smiled at me but I'm sure it's a fake one.
"Make sure of it princess! You may now take your seats," she ordered. Finally, I really thought that she will punish us but good thing she did not!
*Third Person's Pov;" "Your highness are you okay?" Stefan asked Prince Zion as soon as they enter their room. He noticed that the prince is in deep thoughts. "Of course I am," the prince answered in a low tone. He then took the amulet from his pocket and started to scan it. "Is there something wrong with the amulet?" Stefan asked worriedly. He really felt that there's something strange with the prince's actions. "This amulet lit up the moment our shoulders touched. Maybe none of you sees it, but I have seen it in my peripheral vision. I noticed how my pocket sparkled," Prince Zion explained. Stefan went silen
*Princess Ana Mae's Pov* Days have passed after that incident but I still can't get Zion out of my mind. His bravery and the willingness to save me is something that I really admired him for. I was lucky he was there, I could have died if he did not come to save me. But the thing that bothers me the most is how on earth a beast like that could really exist? It feels so unreal for me. But the fact that it was about to kill me gives me goosebumps. "Your highness, it's almost time for our first class," Leana reminded me. "Oh! I'm sorry Leana, I almost forgot!" My mind is occupied by Zion and that beast that I forgot about the time.  
*Princess Ana Mae's Pov* After hearing what Leana said, I was left staring at the prince and princess of the other two kingdoms. I don't know how to react, I'm afraid they won't like me just like my cousin Amira who despises me so much. They both walk towards my direction with a smile on their faces. "So, the rumors are true. The crown princess of Citrine is finally studying here!" the princess spoke and I can see happiness and excitement in her crystal blue eyes. "Yes," I answered nervously. I don't know why I suddenly felt nervous, probably because it's my first time to come face to face with other royals.
Princess Amira's Pov; "Look what you've done! You have made my princess cry!" Leana yelled at me after seeing how my dear cousin reacted to what I told her. Is she really that sensitive? She ran away just because I told her that her parents will not come to save her? Oh such a weakling! "What? I just told her that she needs to stop being dependent to her parents," I said in an irritated tone. She's just over reacting! My words won't kill her princess! She glared at me before she left. She's probably going to look for her ran away princess. Such a pathetic slave! "The show is finish you may now go back to whatever the hell you are all doing!" I shouted
*Third Person's Pov* "Your highness! Thank God I finally found you!" Leana said after she finally saw Princess Ana Mae. After searching for almost an hour they are finally together. She's sitting on the bench while playing some pebbles in her hands. She just smiled when she saw her and did not even manage to utter even a single word. "Leana, did you know how dangerous a pebble is?" the princess asked and that made Leana confused. She sat next to her and tried to scan the pebbles that she's holding. "Your highness, why are you asking me that kind of question? I think it's not as dangerous as big rocks. It's just a pebble!" she answered. &n
*Princess Amira's Pov* "Your highness we should have sent someone instead. You know it's forbidden to go outside the school premises," Ashley said as soon as we arrive in the middle of the forest. We came here for a very important mission. I glared at her as a warning. She's annoying and stupid! Who cares about rules when nobody knows that we violated them! "Keep your mouth shut Ashley or I will be the one to shut it for you!" I warned. She bowed down her and did not bother to speak again. She just followed me while I was looking for the cottage of the snake hunter. "Did you have the map wi
*Third Person's Pov* After visiting the snake hunter, Amira and her servant started preparing for their plan to secretly sneak inside Princess Ana Mae's room. And their first step is to look for the room keeper who has all the keys in the girl's dormitory. "Did you find her?" the princess whispered to her servant who have just entered their classroom. They were supposed to have a class but their professor was on a very important meeting so they have a lot of time to prepare for their scheme. "Yes your highness! She's currently resting in the garden," Ashley answered. The princess stood up from her chai
"What is that thing you're hiding inside your cloak?" the guard asked again. Ashley bit her lips because of too much nervousness. She's thinking of an excuse but her mind is not working properly. It seems like fear has a great impact on her. "Uhmmm, it's just...." "It's my pet cat Tiara, she panics every time she sees a lot of people. That's why I told my servant to hid her in her cloak." She was relieved when Princess Amira came to help her explain. If she did not arrive on time, probably the guards had forced her to show them the cage. "Princess Amira!" All the guards bowed down their heads to pay their respects to the Princess. &nb
