Hazel's pov|

I swung my newly given sword as hard as I could for one last time. It's been 4 exact years since I was attacked by that beast. For the first time I got to see brother Yoongi too. Now I am 14 years old.

Under brother Yoongi's supervision, I've been training swordsmanship. And it's the best thing happened in my life. This sword training, martial art training and some weapon training are making me strong day by day. What makes me super happy is the outfit I get to wear. Since I train as a knight, I get to wear a knight outfit and not that super tiresome long lady dress. I love wearing trousers. They are comfy for me since I'm from a world where girls wear denims,trousers and shorts.

And I'm more than happy to see the improvement of my relationships with my brothers. Brother Hoseok no longer is wary and cautious around me. He grew fond of me with the time. Same goes for Namjoon. He teaches me literature too,though I always try to skip his lessons. And Seokjin has always been nice to me ever since I came here. Maybe it was his fake sincerity at first but I could say that he us super genuine and sincere around me now.

Brother Yoongi stays the same ever since I saw him. I don't know what he thinks. I tried to get closer to me but there really isn't anything to talk with him. It's not like he isn't opening up to me,it's just he doesn't have anything to open up. It feels like he is empty from inside. But it's nice to have him around me. He teaches me a lot. And never scolds me.

And Jimin,he is still a bastard to me. Nothing more to say. Taehyung is also same as before,though I feel like he likes to spend his time annoying me. One time I threw a fist punch onto his handsome face. Screw that dude,so annoying. And lastly my Jungkookie loves me more than anything. He is super overprotective over me. Sometimes it's annoying though.

But during these years if learned something about these guys,there is one shocking fact. I always thought Jungkook is the most scariest out of all of them but I was damn wrong. You know the saying the most innocent smile hides the viciousness of a heart or something like that? Seokjin, Namjoon and Hoseok were the nicest out of all Pendragon siblings but they happened to be the scariest. I'm totally being serious! They are the type of people who can kill with an innocent smile on their faces. The greatest of manipulative family. If you try to manipulate them,they'll go along with your plan but at the end of the game,you are the one who were played by them. So cool,huh?

And Leo,that bastard crown prince,I haven't seen him ever since that day.

"Hazel"

I paused hearing brother Hoseok's voice. Wiping my sweat away from my forehead, I looked back. Why did he come to the training ground? All the other training knights also stopped whatever they were doing and bowed to Hoseok. He signalled them to go back to their work.

"Brother!", I flashed my teeth smile earning a smile from him too.

"How long have you been here? Did you go to your dancing practices? Your debutant ball is coming soon"

Oh yeah,my debutant ball. Since I am 14 now,my debutant to the society will be announced along side other 15 years old girls. But my household is going to be the host to the party so I'm going to be the star of the day. Sometimes Kalisto is too much,for real,he is so excited and wanted to hold the party for a week. I begged him for a day to cancel his plans. Luckily he listened. One day is more than enough.

"Dancing teacher said she'll come in the evening. Also I need a dancing partner today. Is anyone available today?", I asked scratching my neck.

"Taehyung is available "

Uh no

"Anyone else?"

"Jimin?"

"Taehyung is good", I'd rather dance with Taehyung. Ugh that bastard Jimin,I want to punch him. He laughed at my sword skills yesterday.

Jungkook must be in the palace today since he became a holy knight. Frankly thinking, he doesn't deserve the name 'holy' but whatever. The dude is too strong with extream holy powers. I miss him already.

Hoseok laughed as he messed my hair,"You hate them both,huh?"

Hate is a strong word. I don't really hate them but they are annoying. "N –Not like that brother but they are annoying"

"Don't mind them. They like you that's why they annoy you"

I could almost hear Jimin's 'I'd never like this midget!'. But he is a midget too. Should speak after seeing the mirror! Annoying punk!

"Continue your training. I just came to say hi"

I nodded and spinned the sword in my hand while Hoseok turned around to leave. But he said something which paused my movements.

"Oh,almost forgot, the new Prince will be attending to your ball along with the crown prince", with that he left.

The new prince,hah,finally I'm going to meet the real goat of the game. An year ago,the his majesty got married to a foreign royalty. That woman was a widow empress from an Asian kingdom. Her husband, the late king of her kingdom died leaving her and their first born crown prince. Oh how unfortunate, he was too small to inherit the throne. So,his uncle became the King. Since I'm an outsider who knows every secret, I know what exactly happened. The current king already has a wife and a child. Meaning, there are two Princes competing for the crown. But the late empress had lost power after his husband's death. She couldn't do anything to protect her son's crown. To keep him safe,she secretly agreed to marry the King of my kingdom. That's how things went.

The new prince is three years older than me. Already 17 years old. Though he is not a direct descendent from our royal family, he is still a competitor here. But still he is safer in here than his own kingdom.

You might think he is pitiful, that's how he was represented in the novel at first. But you never know,for now he is a 'drunken and wasted' idiot to the kingdom. You never know what is going through his head. Prince Dylan Wang,I know your whole facade.

A smirk slowly crept into my lips. "Boy,you are mine"

If this is a chess game,then he is one of the Bishops in Leo's side. I need this chess piece to myself.

"Oi! Heard you want me to be your dance partner!"

I instantly gritted my teeth hearing that annoying cocky voice. I could HEAR his smug smirk.

"Come on! Stop training! Your teacher has already arrived! Let's have a good dance,alright? And don't worry,I will look over the fact that you are gonna step on my foot with your every step"

This damn punk!

I looked back and smiled sarcastically, "Alright, thank you for your kindness. Then I won't be afraid to step on your feet"

I will make sure you have no legs to walk at the end!!!

Wait,why does this sound unholy?

____________

Bury me alive,I have stepped on his feet over ten times. This is super embarrassing!

But he kinda deserves it.

"You suck at dancing", Taehyung reminded me for the hundredth time.

I looked at his feet sincerely feeling guilty. My dancing teacher complimented me though. She had gone home five minutes ago.

Taehyung sighed as I'm hopeless. He looked up at the ceiling of the empty dancing room we were practicing. "I feel sorry for your first dance partner"

I grabbed his robe and whined,"Don't say that. Please teach me properly. Sir please"

Taehyung scoffed, "Sir? Oh now you know honorific?"

I hate respecting this guy.

You damn cocky bastard.

"Sir Jungkook has arrived home", I heard a maid announcing my dear brother's arrival.

I smiled widely and looked at Taehyung with my evil eyes. "Bastard!", I yelled at him and stuck my tongue and middle finger at him before dashing outside. "Kookie~"

As soon as I escaped from that hell hole,someone caught me and spinned me around. Freedom!!!

"Jungkookie!!", I exclaimed happily.

He scrunched his nose like a bunny and smiled after putting me down. "Fluffball!"

"Two freaks are back together", Taehyung commented from behind.

Seriously, this dude is annoying. Jerk.

"Do you wanna get hit?", Jungkook asked with his fist raised up.

Taehyung raised his middle finger.

Jungkook and I looked at each other before raising our both middle fingers at him.

"I'm scared your idiocy is contagious. I'm off. And Hazel,you suck at dancing,bleh", he again reminded me and stuck his tongue out before vanishing into thin air.

I would have thrown my slipper at him if he stayed any longer.

"What the hell is wrong with that idiot. Hazel,you are the best. Let me teach you how to dance. You really went to the wrong person", Jungkook said stroking my hair.

"I know right. But my choices were him and Jimin"

"Uh Jimin is a better dancer though", Jungkook said.

I know it!

"I chose the less annoying guy"

Jungkook, "Good choice then"

"By the way brother, did you see the Prince Dylan? How is he?"

Jungkook stroked his chin as he is thinking, "I think I saw him couple of times. He is quite the handsome guy but a drunkard. He pays no attention to anyone. Seriously, he is more of a freak than I am. And he still wears his kingdom style cloths. You know,those long robes. Kinda cool though"

Alright then,he is the same as the novel described. Let's see,I need a plan.

Should I make him fall in love with me? No,that will be troublesome in the future. Love shouldn't come to my survival plans. Love is the ultimate step of going down the hill.

A big no.

Well,let's see. We'll be seeing each other soon.

Prince Dylan,see you soon.
