Third Person's POV

          Kyoka took the last bite from her meal as she happily swallowed the delicious breakfast nade by the chef. It was a simple breakfast that contained eggs, bacon and a few veggies with a piece of bread. They weren't as fancy like the royals' meals, but her meeals are enough to fill her stomach.

She stood up from her table smiled to the chef, "Thank you for another delicious meal, sir!!"

"Please no need to thank me, Jiro. Seeing you smile to my delicious food is enough already. I'll take over for the dishes." He smiled back to her as he took her empty plate.

She bowed to the chef and walked out of the kitchen. She made her way to her bedroom which was just a few halls away. As Kyoka walked down the halls, the little bird she sent to her friend came back, flying down to her shoulder with a scrolled paper on its beak with a pencil.

Jiro thought of Momo writing a letter to her but she wasn't sure whether or not there were enough supplies for her friend to use, which is why she decided to give the paper and pencil to her for her to use.

Jiro smiled at the bird, "You came back! Thank you for delivering her message to me, little guy."

The bird happily chirped in reply befire it flew off her shoulder. Jiro giggled as she opened the paper, a metter was written down from her best friend, Momo.

Dear Kyoka,

          Your friend here gave me a piece of paper and a pencil, I assumed that you wanted me to write a letter which I happily don't mind at all. How are you? How's the kingdom? I hope everything is going well there and that my parents haven't found out about my absence..

Kyoka was still scared. Day by day, the fear of the king and queen finding out that their princess is gone escalates very quickly but she tries to keep her composure and stay calm.

However, I'm sure you're doing a great job keeping them distracted. I know you're scared but I'll be back soon, Yosetsu was able to lead us through a shortcut which had something that made my ankle sprained.

Jiro panicked as she read that part. She sprained her ankle?!

But please do not worry, it'll get better soon and I'll be back to normal soon. We'll be continuing our journey despite my injury, yet I don't want to delay our travel so Yosetsu gladly offered to carry me throughout our journey. He isn't bad as you think, he's a real gentleman and sweetheart. He's also been a great man and if I'm being honest, he's also quite handsome.

She physically stopped, her eyes widened in shock. Was what she was reading true or was she just hallucinating. Jiro blinked once more as a smirk formed on her lips.

"Is the Creatorian princess really falling for this criminal?? Guess thieves really do steal things, but surprisingly this thief stole Momo's heart." Kyoka mumbled quietly to herself.

But anyways, I still don't know how far our destination is, yet it feels like we'll make it soon enough. Don't worry about me Kyoka, I'll be fine.

-Momo

          The lady-in-waiting smiled softly at the letter and folded it, putting it in a pocket that is surprisingly found in her dress. She was quite worried for friend that she might get hurt, which she did, but she somehow became relieved that the princess was still optimistic about her travel.

Not to mention how shocked she was to find out about how she thought about the thief. There was no doubt Momo saw good in the criminal and knew that she wanted to be his friend, but to think that she's started to gain feelings for her was completely surprising.

Jiro placed the paper in a pocket that can surprisingly be found in her dress, and continued to go to her room.

Once she made it, she opened the door only to find the king and queen, also known as Momo's parents, standing there inside her room.

Oh dear, do they know?

Kyoka gave them a small curtsey as she greeted them, "Y-Your magesties..!! What brings you both here?"

"We would like you to ask a few questions. Is that alright?" The queen questioned.

"O-Of course..!! About what?"

The king crossed his arms as he answered to her, "About our missing daughter."

Jiro gulped, Oh no.

Welp.....THEY'RE SCREWED XD.
