A Prince, A Princess, And A Smile 5

Lui felt his face turned red. His body was trembling. His heart was beating frantically. He was nervous. Or was it... excitement? Though he kept his identity a secret, his...fiancee, Princess Ruanna, asked him to go outside of the palace with her! No matter what, wasn't that can be confirmed as a date? No, even if Errion or other people denied him, he was still going to think that it was a date. With his fiancee. Lui couldn't help squirming here and there with glee when he thought about his fiancee. Somehow he has come to adore the doll-like princess.

"....Are you okay?" Ruanna was regretting asking the prince's servant to accompany her to the capital city. For a while now, he hasn't stopped making weird moves and expressions. It annoyed her. But she needed someone to help her get out from the castle. And it was very convenient that Lui the attendant was there at that moment. And somehow, he looked very free. Wasn't he supposed to be his master's attendant?

...Whatever. Let's let him take the blame when it's convenient, she thought. Ruanna took a glance at Lui through her cloak. Suddenly she felt jealous of the man. If he was dressed properly, he would look like a prince. But with just a change of clothes, he looked just like another civilian. A really handsome civilian, one may add. Ruanna really wanted to frown.

"So princess, exactly where are we going?" Lui's sudden question surprised her. She blinked for a moment, trying to regain her composure. "...Let's go to the bazaar." She decided. Lui just nodded, before he turned to ask her again; "So where's the bazaar is at?" He was in a very good mood.

"I don't know." And Lui's mood turned into a typhoon immediately.

"Your Highness Prince Orca, aren't you glad to be coming home again? Ah, I can already smell the flowers blooming so magnificently inside the palace garden!" A man said as he drove the carriage along the road towards the capital city of Eucalyst; Ethea. He was smiling idiotically for a prince's servant. 

"Shut up, Yeurz." The prince kicked the carriage's wall exactly behind the man called Yeurz, surprising him. He sounded very cross. "There's nothing to be glad about when that wretched doll is still at the castle," he added. Yeurz was confused. "What doll?" He murmured to himself. Then he decided to just ignore his master's words and started another topic instead.

"Ah, that's right. I heard Princess Ruanna is going to be married soon. Is it true, Your Highness?" Orca twitched at Yeurz's question. Married? "Her fiance is the second prince of Colt Empire, right? Have you ever met your future brother-in-law?" Yeurz asked again, but Orca kept silent. "...Prince?" Yeurz called him. Annoyed by his servant, Orca once again kicked the carriage's wall. 

"Hurry up and drive, Yeurz. I need to make a call to my 'dearest' little sister," he ordered. His lips formed a sinister smile. The wretched doll, married?
