They arrived at the location, her senses told her as the vehicle slowly stopped and the velocity drops to zero. She looked out to the majestic castle where the Royals dwelled upon.

Her eyes lighted up as they locked on the castle, every intriguing details she absorbed to her mind. She can't help but wonders just how much time and effort it takes to make it that much beautiful.

Truly a home suited for the Royals, she thought. While she was thinking, the vehicle's door slowly creaks open, as a man lets out a hand to her, to help her get off.

She accepted and elegantly get off, it was quite a hassel for the old her. But the girl right now is the girl who have went through horrifyingly a lot of training to manage to do this flawlessly. Just for this one moment...

She remembered the training sessions, how she regretted not running away before and how she was angered at her father, that declined her requests to cancel them.

Though her face doesn't show anything, there was somehow this cold aura oozing out of her.

The father -knowing exactly why distaste shows from her aura- just smiled sheepishly at her direction as she glared at him intensely.

She clicked her tongue, then cursed in Japanese -which is both furtunately and unfortunately, does not exist-. The language here is all English, which she fortunately understand and fluent in, *cough* due to her playing games in international servers in her past life, but the reason doesn't matter.

Her father, yes, she had already accepted him as her father. She actually accepted this world as hers in the years that passed by, back to the point- her father would freak out and splash holy water at her, if he knew what the gibberish she was talking the whole time means. "If" he knew. Which he doesn't.

She was escorted inside, by a stanger whose identity is not important. At least to her. Just like the exterior wasn't enough, the interior left her paralyzed in awe.

It was beautiful and full of details, yet it wasn't too much. There was intricate hand work in each furniture, the designs were just amazing.

She examined the room wih her pale yellow eyes, they were going everywhere, these pairs of eyes just cannot decide which to focus. A smile grows on her face wider and wider as she checked out each of the designs.

The father looked at the child, smiling happily, she looked like she was having fun. She was fangirling over the details and designs, it was hard to believe this girl was the listless girl who only smiles up in the name of food.

He was happy and shocked too. He didn't know his daughter had a knack for art. But now he does, and he intend to use that information correctly to impress and livens the girl up. Perhaps, that will change her personality a bit.

Sure, he loves her the way she is. But, something about her gaze and eyes looks so dull and lifeless as if she had seen everything and had nothing else to live for. He wanted that to change. Even if he won't be the one that changes that.

He smiled bitterly at the thought as he focuses his attentions back to the current situation, he looked back at his daughter, she was mumbling things that he cannot understand to herself, all smiling and happy to suddenly stop her mouth mid-talking and her eyes grow dull again and her mouth twisted to a frown full of sorrow.

Her eyes teary, as if she remembered something as she forced them back in and clams her mouth and bit her lip and tried to smile.

Her smile was shaken up and disoriented- but somehow, no one noticed, no one, of course except for her dear father, who arrived at her side and offers her a cup of water.

The event had already started- people everywhere- just like that day. She thought back, a horrified look on her face. Music is flowing in the room calmly- just like that day.

She took the cup and drank it all up, as she calmed herself down, trying to avoid attention- which thankfully worked as she puts back her normal face and nodded thankful to her father, who smiled as if signing 'no problem'.

She then bowed as her father told her to hang around and find some friends, which she totally ignored his wish and immediately went to the garden, wishing for a calm environment to just sleep through the event.

She always does this in formal events and it always works- oh boy she didn't know that the one and only prince is already there, sitting with a pained look on his face, muttering something she didn't hear.

His eyes teary, he then cupped a flower gently and carefully, not wanting to break it.

He mumbled something again, but once again Caramel was way too far to hear anything. She ain't no bat with some superhuman hearing.

She moved away, giving him privacy as he looked so sad and pained, but her dress makes escaping so much harder and louder, that the prince noticed her.

"What are you doing here? Did you follow me?" The boy said, which startled her.

She turned around, then turned back, as she just made the run for it. But he was much faster than her and pulled her collar, not letting her run away.

The girl, who is now just tired and need to be alone. "I wasn't- I just wanted to be somewhere peaceful." She said as she sighed, she wanted to just lay down and calm herself down.

"Please- I just want to be alone--" She, an adult on the inside cried and whined, unable to stop the tears from before, his glare reminding her of her traumas.

The boy shocked as he loosened his grip and the girl walked away.

The girl walked to a plant, which she has no idea what it is. She kneeled beside the plant and pulled her knees to her chest.

She was just tired- exhausted. She was never good with parties and balls or formal events. She felt like the odd one out. She felt their eyes on her- she felt their attention- and it's not a good kind of attention.

All she want is just to be alone- all by herself.

(Ahaha a back story for why she is a NEET. This won't make sense at first why she is so scared of socializing and just want to be alone. But, it will soon. No spoilers though.)
