Dangerous

Y/N's POV

I asked the cook to prepare dinner for everyone and started making something sweet for Princess Diana. Actually, Princess Diana and her family love the dishes I make, so I often cook for them.

You know what? One day, Princess Diana ordered me to make her something sweet every single day. So today, I thought of making a special fruit pudding.

I began gathering all the ingredients when memories of my mother came to mind. She taught me how to cook...* Oh, I miss her so much. I should be strong... after all, it was her dream for me to become a brave soldier, just like her.* I thought

A cook came up to me and asked:

Aunt Miya: "Y/N, isn't that too much food for just the two of you?" She ask me

She's a middle-aged woman and was my mother's best friend. I call her Aunt Miya. *Ooh, I can't tell her about the king… it's an order from the princess.* I thought

"Don't worry about that, Aunt Miya. It's an order from Princess Diana, so…" I said with a nervous smile.

Aunt Miya: "Hmm... okay. Oh, how's your arm now?" She ask sudden

"Oh, it's fine, Aunt Miya. It's nothing to worry about—just a small cut." I said

Aunt Miya: "Day by day, you're becoming more like your mother... she used to say the same thing." She said and I lagh at her

I smiled as she patted my head like she always does.

Aunt Miya: "I miss her too, Y/N... Okay, enough talking! Focus on the food before it burns." She said

We both laughed and continued cooking. After some time, the food was ready to serve.

"Aunt Miya, I'll inform Princess Diana that dinner's ready. Can you please ask the servants to start serving?" I said

She nodded, and I walked toward the princess's room. When I reached the door, I knocked.

"Princess, dinner is ready!" I said

Diana: "Oh! Come in, Y/N. I was waiting for you!" She said

I frowned in confusion and opened the door.

"Waiting for me for wh— ahhhhhhmmmf!!"

She suddenly covered my mouth with her palm.

Diana: "Shhh! Why are you shouting like that?" She said

I signaled her to remove her hand from my mouth so I could speak.

"Because... your face, Princess Diana... it-it's—" I confirm her

She glared at me.

"I mean... it's not that bad..." I said

She sighed and sat on her bed.

Diana: "I know, Y/N... I look like a pink raccoon right now." Said with a sad tone

*She is right *

I tried to hold back my laugh.

"Maybe... I-I mean... why did you even do this in the first place? Princess, you look more beautiful without all this." I said her honestly

I grabbed a towel and walked toward her. Honestly, I was telling the truth—she really is beautiful.

Diana: "I know, but... I just wanted to look more beautiful in front of the king, you know?" She said with shy smile

I smiled at her statement.

"Okay, okay, I understand, Princess. Let me help you with that." I said

I started wiping her face with the towel.

Diana: "And please... tell me what I should do to make him fall for me." She ask me

Her voice cracked slightly. I paused, unsure of what to say.

"I-I don't know anything about that, Princess..." I said to her

She looked disappointed.

Diana: "Umm... Y/N, let's ask Aunt Miya, then!" She said suddenly

Her face lit up with hope.

"Hmm... I agree. She always has a solution to every problem." I confirm her

Diana: "You know, Y/N... I was thinking... that guard is also pretty good-looking. What do you think?" She said try to see my reaction

I scoffed.

"Oh, Princess... please don't drag me into this." I said to her

Diana: "Fine! But just think about it!" She said

I ignored her and stood up.

"Okay, let's go. Dinner's ready." I said to her

I placed the towel on the table and headed for the door.

Diana: "Oh wait, Y/N! I need to wash my face first." She said

She rushed to the bathroom, washed her face, and did her hair...I wait for her

Diana: "Do I look beautiful now, Y/N?" She ask me

Me: "Yes, yes, Princess... now let's go. Everyone's waiting."I said

Diana: "Oh, I'm so nervous..." She said while blushing I just laugh at her a little

We made our way to the dining area, where dinner was already served. Princess Diana sat down.

Diana: "Y/N, go and call our guests." She ask me

"Why me?" I groaned.

Diana: "Because they know you. If I go, they'll think I'm a childish princess or something." She said

"Fine..." I said still don't want to go but * I have to *

I sighed and walked toward my—I mean their—room. I knocked on the door.

The door opened, and to my surprise, the King himself was standing in front of me. I quickly bowed my head.

"I'm here to inform you that dinner is ready, and Princess Diana is waiting for you both. So please, if you could—"

Before I could finish...

???: "Oh my God! I'm really hungry—let's go, let's go, King!!" The commander said

I blinked in shock as Max dashed past me like a storm.

What the—?! He doesn't even care about the king?!

King: "Hmm... actually, he's a little wild when it comes to food." King said

I nodded slightly, still stunned. But that's just...

Max: "Hey! Why are you still standing there, huh?!" The commander said

He stood with his hands on his hips like I was the problem.

King: "Max, behave yourself! Let her show us the way to the dining area." Kind said to him *yeah he need to behave *

I noticed the king signaling Max with his eyes... Something's off here...

The king smiled warmly at me.

"Ah... this way, King... please follow me." I said

I started walking ahead, but I could hear them whispering behind me. I didn't turn back, but I couldn't help straining to hear what they were saying...

What's going on here?

*They are dangerous....*
