Her plan is obvious. I love it
Well well, King Hyreon, it looks like you really have been playing matchmaker. My plan will succeed soon enough.

He cares so much, I love it
“You will not refer to her as a concubine. Princess Hybe is a guest in our palace no matter what my father says. Make sure she is treated as such.” Xie says angrily.

Oop
“A maid? Please, Madame Fae, please do not turn her into a maid. She’ll be here for a while and it may be best if she were treated like a princess as that is her title after all.” Xie says.

I love how she's trying to set them up
“With Hybe?” She asks quietly.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Oh?
She had a plan that she wasn’t about to let go to waste, mentally cursing at the king for even bringing something up so early in his child’s life.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
You weren't supposed to tell her that, now she's gonna gossip about it to the other maids
“I-I’m sorry? A wife, where did you get that idea?” She chuckles.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
I'm sorry, she's 10??
“Concubine? Father, she’s 10, don’t think you can groom her into being a lewd woman of that nature, she’s not part of your own harem.” He scoffs, turning on his heel to walk briskly past his father to head to the dining hall.

“Since the girl will be yours one day. She is your concubine, a present from me to you.” Hyreon says quickly.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Bruh what? I thought this man was ruthless and never kept promises
“Because I made a promise.” Hyreon sighs, admitting that he had promised her father to take care of her.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Because?
“Followed my example? Boy, you need to realize that I am nice to her because...because-” He stops himself, pinching the bridge of his nose as he tries to come up with a reason.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Honestly
If that was the case then why did he bring her here?
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
You better not lose those feelings girl, you and him belong together
He grabs her hand and they start to walk back to the palace, Hybe staring at their interlocked hands the whole time. She didn’t realize that they had reached the palace until he turned around and gently kissed her hand, making her blush and have those special feelings come back into her mind.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Awe, poor soul already developing those feels
“I’m sorry, your highness, I guess the king doesn’t care much about everyone else’s feelings besides his own.” She says, trying to console the prince instead of herself.

Marriage at 11?
“My father has made arrangements for me to meet the daughters of each kingdom to find a potential wife. He says that it’s notable for a prince to visit the princesses of each kingdom in order to build strong relations with one in case of a potential marriage. I don’t want to go, I don’t believe that any of the princesses will want to go to the meetings either and I hate that the kings are forcing it onto us. I want to marry who I want, not who my father wants.” Xie says, kicking a small rock off the cliff in anger.

Went right past her head oml
“My small kingdom wasn’t that beautiful. But this, I’ve never seen any view like this before.” Hybe says.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
Smooth af
“My father used to take me here when I was smaller, he said that everything beyond this river had been owned by the North and that’s why it was so beautiful. He said that most things that came from the Northern kingdom were the most beautiful. I can see now that he was telling the truth.” Xie says, looking at Hybe as she looks out at the view, here eyes widening as she gazes over the horizon.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
God I know exactly how that feels
The conversation was short, which made the walk even more awkward than Xie wanted it to be. Though they both enjoyed each other’s company, the urge to have conversation grew into something that they dreaded as they knew it was bound to end in silence once again. Xie clears his throat as they approach a clearing, exposing a cliff edge that was just above a small lake.

He's so adorable
"Who said anything about telling my father?" He asks quietly, taking a step toward her.
Fantasy · Terra_Kane
He's being nice again, is it just a trick or what?
"I don't know why the maids dressed you in this dress but they've done a good job with how they've treated you. I appreciate the song, it was beautiful. You needn't be afraid of me, little bird, you are a guest in my castle after all. This entire Eastern wing is yours. If you leave, however, you will experience my mean side." He pats her head, trying not to show too much emotion in front of the maids.

Okay, so I originally came onto this app because my friend recommended it to me for manga. So I did and I've read some stories that I found boring and came across this one while looking for a more interesting manga and thought, why not? Let me tell you that I fell in love! I hope you update more often as it looks like a brand new book so updates will be slow but that's okay. I love how detailed the story is and the pacing is just *chefs kiss*, perfect. I hope the next update comes soon!
