(Y/N) walked ahead of Arian as Marian and Arian were now behind Raymond. With some sleeping magic, Raymond put both Arian and Marian to sleep. Arian, before his eyes closed, he stared at Raymond's devilish smirk before following (Y/N). As the two walked, Raymond finally decided to speak up.

"Princess." (Y/N) stopped and turned to him as he pinned her to the wall.

"Excuse me, Sir Raymond, but may I ask you why you pinned me to the wall?" (Y/N) questioned as her eyes shift and widen, seeing Arian and Marian asleep on the floor, "And putting my fiance and lady-in-waiting to sleep." That ticked her off.

"You jest. I know you're not shocked at all." Raymond's face slowly lowered

"If I shout, or do something worse, you'll likely be executed." (Y/N) states.

"Yes...so are you going to cause a scene?" Raymond asked, his lips slowly and slowly getting closer to (Y/N)'s, who badly wanted to kick him in the nuts for knocking his fiance out, "Why don't you and I...have some fun together, your Highness?" (Y/N) felt the ick.

"Why on heaven's earth do you think I would want to have some fun with you?" (Y/N) questioned.

"Banquets are so predictable and boring." Raymond reached his hand to move some hair behind her ear, "I think I can show you..." (Y/N) slaps his arm away, "A much better time, your Highness."

(Y/N) grits her teeth, "No matter how boring a banquet may be, it's something I cannot miss...and I don't respect a man who's as pushy as you, even knocking out the two most important people in my life." (Y/N) gripped Raymond's collar.

"You'd rather suffer through boredom than have a good time with me?" Raymond smiled warmly.

(Y/N) throws Raymond back, "You seem to think all I want is someone to make love with." She huffs, "I'd rather know them and learn to love them before I do something like that...I also promise my first time to my fiance." (Y/N) gestured to Arian, "I am the future Empress of Arbezela...to think an event with such lavish food would equal boredom..." (Y/N) clenches her fist, "You truly don't know the weight of the crown I wear, and the promises I made along with it."

Raymond steps back, eyes wide with a lavish blush across his cheeks, 'This Princess...definitely...sees right through me...'

"Now then, won't you pleas pick up my Lady-In-Waiting, and take us to the guest palace?" (Y/N) walked up to Arian, squatting down, "Love. I'm getting rather tired, I don't think I can walk any farther."

Arian's eyes shoot open as he jumps up, picking (Y/N) up in her eyes, "Then allow me to be your transport, My Darling Jewel!!" Arian's smile shines brightly.

"Now. We don't have much time before the banquet begins." (Y/N) pats Arian's shoulder, signaling him to move, 'I'm hungry...and I want some food. Hangry isn't a good feeling.'

"...Yes, your highness." Raymond stares at her as his heart was beating ten-fold, 'Ah...I can't wait to have some fun with this woman!'

👑👑👑

Inside the guest palace, Marian was asleep in the bed while Arian was cuddling (Y/N). Raymond bows.

"I'll be waiting outside your door while you change, your highnesses." Raymond glanced up and smiled, "Please, take your time." Raymond then leaves the three alone.

Arian held (Y/N) close as he felt annoyed, "Darling. Love. Light Of My Light...What do you think of him?"

(Y/N) glanced up at Arian, "He's provocative and attractive, I'll give him that." She seemed to be in though, "Pushy, yet seems like a puppy dog." She looked down, "I disliked how he put both you and Marian to sleep but I'm willing to add him as my jewel."

Arian flushed as he cuddled her, "Such a good way to put it, my darling Jewel!!" Arian looked away, '...He wanted to push my jewel to have some fun without my permission...but my darling Jewel stood up to him!!' Arian fists the air, 'She's so strong and amazing!! Badass.'

(Y/N) got out of Arian's hold and walked over to Marian as she tackled Marian in a hug, "Mari...Mari..." (Y/N) whined.

Marian slowly woke up, looking to (Y/N), "What the? Why am I in bed? Where am I...?" Marian asked, "Y...Your Highness?!" Marian flushed.

"It's such a long story...I almost beat a man's ass..." (Y/N) states.

"Your Highness?!" Marian seems more concerned now, "WHY?!"

Arian claps his hands together, "We should hurry and change into a different outfit now, darling." Arian grabs (Y/N)'s hand, "We lost precious time while Marian was sleeping." Marian seemed confused as (Y/N) got up and nodded, following Arian.

Marian took a few seconds before pulling out her makeup items, "YES SIR!!"

👑👑👑

Outside of the room, just like Raymond said he would, he was waiting for Arian and (Y/N) to exit their room. As he waited, the aggression (Y/N) showed him, the annoyance in her eyes, it sparked something within him.

'I can't forget the look in her eyes...' Raymond thought, holding a coin in his hand, 'When she looks at me like that, with that look of annoyance, it reminds me of that little thief I met...two people who share that look...a look that makes me feel on the verge of losing my mind.' Raymond ran his hand through his hair.

The door slowly opens up, as Raymond turns to see Arian and (Y/N) exits the room.

"Are you ready, your highnesses?" Raymond questions as he freezes, seeing (Y/N) in such an elegant dress that showed off all her elegant features, he flushed, 'Ah...!'

"Would you please escort my fiance and I to the banquet?" (Y/N) asked, holding Arian's arm.

"Yes, of course, your highness." Raymond smiled warmly as he leads the two to the ballroom, 'I'll do whatever I can to make her mine...to get her attention!'

'Simp.' Arian and (Y/N) both thought.

👑👑👑

At the banquet, Raymond walked in front of Arian and (Y/N) as they made their way down the stairs. Once they made it down the stairs, King Goldblackrose walked up to them. He took (Y/N)'s hand and kissed it lightly.

"Welcome, your highnesses." King Goldblackrose smiled, "This banquet is in you and your fiance's honor, oh beautiful one, so we hope you will enjoy it."

"Oh. Thank you, King Goldblackrose." (Y/N) nods, feeling awkward.

King Goldblackrose kept kissing (Y/N)'s hand as she slowly started to feel uncomfortable, her eyes shifting to Arian. Before Arian could intervene, and maybe beat the hell out of King Goldblackrose, Raymond stood in front of the King.

"You must be tired from standing and talking for so long." Raymond smiled and took (Y/N)'s hand in his, "Let me guide you to your seat, your highness." Raymond turned to King Goldblackrose, "King Goldblackrose, we'll be taking our leave now."

'Ray, do you really want to put our friendship to the test?!' King Goldblackrose exclaimed.

'I'm just doing what I was told, no hard feelings.' Raymond smiled.

'This is so awkward.' (Y/N) looked between the two.

'Come on, Raymond. Beat him up.' Arian forced a smile.

Raymond took (Y/N)'s hand and guided her away, Arian quickly behind, "This way."

'Thank Goodness...' Arian and (Y/N) both thought.

The three ascended up the stairs to make it to two double doors. The butlers opened the doors with another one holding a tray of wine and glasses filled with wine. Arian guided (Y/N) to the two thrones as he sat down in one, placing (Y/N) on his lap. Raymond walked over with two wine glasses in his hand. He bowed and handed the two a glass of wine.

"Thank you, Sir Raymond." Arian smiled kindly as Arian handed one of the glasses to (Y/N), who nodded but didn't drink it.

"It's my job." Raymond smiled back.

"It's a lavish banquet, fitting for a kingdom known for its wealth." (Y/N) pours her wine into Arian's glass, taking some water.

"Haha, we're relieved that you found it to your liking." Raymond looked at (Y/N) with a glint in his eyes, "If I hadn't been attending to you, your highness, I would have asked you for a dance with your fiance's permission."

"Haha. You made those bold moves earlier, but now you can't even strike up the courage to ask for a dance?" Arian smirked, "...Maybe I would have allowed you."

"I'm refraining, as it seems like neither of you don't care to dance with me." Raymond smiled.

(Y/N) got off of Arian's lap, "I am a human being...I do not need Arian's permission to dance with anyone." (Y/N) states.

"I agree." Arian smiled warmly, "But why not try her...she is very intelligent."

Raymond smirked and walked up to the balcony and stood on it. His arms wide as his smile. (Y/N) and Arian shared a look as they watched him.

"I'd like to propose a little game to all the ladies in attendance tonight!" Raymond exclaims as all the woman were listening, "I've hidden an item inside the banquet hall. It's small in size and red in color...and makes an interesting sound when you roll it."

"Wanna play a game?" A younger (Y/N) smiled cheekily at a younger Raymond who's arm was wrapped around the street light.

"Hit me with your best shot, thief." Raymond smirked.

"What's small in size and red in color...and makes an interesting sound when you roll it...guess correctly and you'll get a reward." (Y/N) smirked, hiding from the eyes of her parents.

"I promise a kiss to the first lady who finds it." Raymond pressed his fingers to his lips.

(Y/N)'s eyes widened as she slowly remembered the riddle, Arian looked to (Y/N) confused. He knew that look in her eyes, he knew she was a fan of riddles, well some riddles. But what other connection could there be?

"Now! Would you like to participate too, your highness?" Raymond questions, looking at (Y/N), 'If I know who I think you are, my little thief...'

"Huh?! What type of riddle is that?" Young Raymond questioned, thinking.

"It's very simple." Young (Y/N) cups Raymond's cheeks.

"It's very simple." (Y/N) walked up to Raymond, getting on her tippy-toes and cups his cheeks.

"She found it already?" The woman in the room started to murmur and mutter from below.

"Small, red, makes an interesting noise when you roll it...it's an easy answer." Young (Y/N) chuckled.

"It's the clues you listen for." (Y/N) pressed her thumb on Raymond's lips as Raymond flushed and leaned in, "The Answer is...'your tongue'..." (Y/N) answered.

'MY JEWEL IS SO SMART!!' Arian gushes.

Raymond felt his heart was about to break out of his chest. He felt hearts in his eyes as his face grew redder. He leaned in closer to (Y/N).

"Do you know it?" Young (Y/N) smirked.

"No..." Young Raymond grumbled, his face red.

"Tongue." (Y/N) leans in as the two twelve year olds share a small kiss, slowly stealing his wallet.

'I knew it was you, my little thief.' Raymond thought, "Yes...yes, you are correct, your highness." The audience watching cheered and exclaimed in cheer.

(Y/N) leaned up and kissed Raymond's lips softly before leaning back. Raymond leaned back in as (Y/N) pulled him off the balcony. (Y/N) backed up and put her hand out. Arian watched with hearts in his eyes and a flushed face.

"Sir Raymond...You may get on your knees and kiss my hand like a true gentleman." (Y/N) states, standing like a goddess.

Don't think too highly of yourself.

Raymond felt his face getting redder as he started to sweat, 'Finally...in my presence again, my little thief.'
