An ambassador party is held in the castle tonight. All ambassador from all over the world attended this party to strengthen the bond between them and Andorra's Royal Family and to honor Prince Seth and Princess Rose marriage. 

       "Thank you," Seth said as he shook hands with the ambassador from Italy. Rose smiled at him and then the ambassador and his wife walked away from there. "You look happy," Seth asked oddly. Rose smiled and looked up at him. "I've never met these people, of course, I'm happy," she chattered. Seth wrapped his arm around her. "Let's walk to mother and father," he said, gesturing her towards their parents.

        King Edward and Queen Carla was talking to some people from other countries when they reached them. Seth shook hands with them and Rose, like always, would smile. The ambassador look at Rose. "You have a beautiful wife, your Highness," he said, praising. Rose giggled and looked down shyly. Seth nodded, awkwardly. "Thank you, Mr Rupert," he thanked him. 

         "I must admit that you do look great tonight, Princess. The dress suited you well," Queen Carla said truthfully as she observed Rose. She was wearing a white strapless flowy short dress with a black ribbon tied around her waist and her hair is braided with a tiara placed on top of her head. Rose bowed down a little and smiled. "Thank you, your Higness," she said as graceful as possible.

      Seth laughed as he saw that Rose was pretending to be graceful. She looked up at him and narrowed her eyes. "What?" she asked, annoyed. Seth stopped laughing. "Don't do that. It's not you," he joked. Rose poked his waist slowly causing him to wince. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the front door where a teenage guy and a woman was walking into the hall.

          "It's Princess Christina!" a photographer shouted and all the news photographers started to crowd infront of them. Christina and Alex walked into the party and glanced at the Royal Family. Christina gave them a bow. Queen Carla's eyes widened. "Christina?" she said, sounded worried and shocked.

          Rose and Seth looked at them as they walked towards them. "Christina, is that really you?" Princess Meredith said delightedly and held her arms. "Yes, your Highness. I'm sorry that I didn't inform you that I have return to Andorra," Christina drawled. Meredith shook her head. "It's alright. I understand, Crown Princess,"

       "Yes, grandma?" Rose shouted as she thought Meredith was calling for her. Seth nudged her side. Meredith shook her head. "I'm sorry. I've mistakenly called your old title," she said and squeezed her arms. Christina smiled. "It's alright, my Lady," she said kindly.

       Queen Carla was looking sharply at her. She could sense that something wasn't right and Christina was hiding something. She pulled King Edward away from there, heading towards a corner. "There's something not right here. I could sense it," she whispered worriedly. Edward was taken aback. "What do you mean, my Lady?" he asked, puzzled.

           Carla looked into his eyes. "It's Christina. She's hiding something. Why would she showed up all of a sudden in our ambassador party?" she said sharply. Edward sighed. "My Lady, you've been thinking too much. I'm sure there's nothing to be afraid of," he explained but Carla wasn't satisfied with his answer. No matter what, she would try her best to investigate Christina's real motive returning to Andorra after 14 years.

        The band started to play a slow music and everyone started to dance with their partners. Seth bowed infront of Rose and stretched a hand. "Will you dance with me, Princess?" he asked. Rose was touch and couldn't believe that he was asking her to dance with him instead of pulling her hand.

         Everyone were staring at them, waiting for Rose to take his hand. Slowly, she placed her hand on his hand and Seth straighten his body. With her hand in his, Seth gestured her to the centre.

         He placed his hand behind her and pulled her closer to him. Rose laced her arms around his neck and Seth held her so close to him that he could even feel the heat radiating off her body. Their gaze met and their eyes refused to leave each other's. They started to dance, swaying from side to side. From far, Alex could only watch the girl he loves danced with his own cousin.

       "This is weird," Rose drawled, still looking straight into his blue eyes. Seth smiled. "What weird?" he whispered. Rose grinned and said, "Everything... You,me,us,"

        "Yeah, its a little weird," he said, looking down. He never thought that he would be falling for her. Rose's the weirdest, annoying girl he'd ever met but he was happy around her. Very happy. Rose grinned and she was mesmerized by the figure that was just inches from her. Seth leaned in closer to her as Rose closed her eyes, ready to get something she had been dreaming for.

         When Seth was about to kiss her, again, it was interupted. The fireworks show begun. "Wow, fireworks," Rose chirped before pushing her way towards the balcony to watch the show. Seth's face fell and he sighed. 

         "Excuse me," Rose said to everyone as she pushed her way to the balcony. She'd never seen any live fireworks show before this so she was excited. When she reached the balcony, she looked up to the sky; the fireworks was dazzling and beautiful. She smiled brightly and patted someone's shoulder who was standing beside her. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" she chattered and turned her face towards the man.

        "Oh my god!" she said and bowed down. She just realised that she patted King Edward's shoulder. "I'm sorry," she said apologitecally. King Edward laughed and held her shoulder. Rose's feet shifted from one place to another as she just did something really embarassing. Then, she looked down and realised that one of her shoe is missing. "Where's my shoe?" she asked and looked around the floor. It must have dropped from her feet when she was making her way towards the balcony.

       King Edward helped her to detect her shoe but it wasn't around. Rose started to panicking and Alexa and Daphne helped her too. Suddenly, Seth waltzed into the balcony with her shoe in his hand. "That's my shoe!" Rose called as Seth approached her. Unexpectedly, he kneeled down infront of her and slowly, slipped her shoe into her feet. 

         Rose is moved by his action and suprised. She never thought he would did that to her. She felt like Cinderella and Seth's the prince. The prince that she'd been searching for whole this time. The one that she'd been dreaming every night was kneeling infront of her, slipping her shoe slowly back into her feet. Seth stood up to his feet and smiled at her, gazing into her brown eyes.

      Everyone clapped their hands as they watched the touching moment between the royal couple.  Rose looked away from his eyes and looked down, shyly. She nimbled with her fingers and bit her lips as everyone were staring at them. Seth let out a small laugh as he watched his wife's cheeks blushed.

          Alex balled his fists and looked away. He's the only person at the party who wasn't smiling as they watched the royal couple. Why would he be smiling when someone he love was having fun with his own cousin?

         "Morning!" Rose chirped as she walked into Seth's bedroom. He was sitting on the sofa, reading some files. Rose took a seat beside him and put her hands on her chest. "I still couldn't forget what happened last night," she said in awe. "Everything was so perfect! I felt like Cinderella when you-"

       "The party is over," Seth said immediately as he flicked the file pages. "And you should wear a longer dress that doesn't your legs much," he suggested, intended to sneer her.

"Why?"

          "Your feet is huge. It could even kill a cow if you kicked it," he told her. Rose frowned and her mouth fell open. "Could kill a cow?" she repeated, angrily and her smiles dissapeared. Seth placed the files onto the coffee table and stood up to his feet. "Grandma and mother wanted me to teach you how to play golf so we'll play some today," he told her.

        "Golf?" she repeated, puzzled and worried. "But, I've never played golf before," she said. Seth sighed. "I know. That's why I'll teach you how to," he ended and walked out from his bedroom. Rose sighed. She was hoping that she could get some rest today because it's Sunday. Plus, Rose was slightly dissapointed as Seth hadn't change. He's still cold towards her.

           That evening, Seth teached Rose how to play golf by demonstrating it first. They were playing golf at the golf course, between the castle compound. It was a great sunny evening. Rose was standing, under the umbrella that Daphne was holding, not far from Seth. She watched as he demonstrated how to play golf.

            Seth was a great golf player and he did a lot of great shots. Finally, his ball went into the hole. "Great job, Sire," Mr Jameson admired. Seth approached Rose who was clapping her hands. "Now, its your turn," he said and passed her the golf stick. Rose took it hesistatedly and followed him to the play area.

        "First, widened your legs," he instructed so Rose followed it. He shrugged. "Not too wide," he said and kicked her foot slowly, closing her legs a little. "Then, bend down your body, just a little," he said the next step as he watched Rose did the next step. "Hold your golf stick using both your hands, your right's infront," he said and gestured her hands.

            Rose's heart started pounding when his skin touched hers. She gulped and tried to focus on the golf. Seth suddenly sneaked in behind her and wrapped his arms around her as he held the golf stick. Rose started to sweat as Seth was hugging her from behind even though he was just teaching her golf. "Then, lifted the stick and pop! Hit the golf ball," he said and together they hit the ball slowly.

      "Understand?" he  whispered through her ears, causing goose bumps to crawled up her flesh. Seth refused to let go of her as he felt so comfortable with her in his embrace. The kind of feeling that he'd been searching this whole time. He shook his head and let go of her when she started to felt uncomfortable. "Try to hit the ball by yourself," he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

         Rose nodded and did what Seth just teached her. She hit the ball and shockingly, it went into the hole on her first try. She jumped around and celebrated it. "Wiee!" she squealed as Seth mouth fell open. He played golf more than 15 years but he'd never suceed in putting the golf ball into the hole on first hit. "Not bad, ditzy," he said and was taken aback. "Thank you," she said mischievously. 

        Rose was having too much fun as she never stopped teasing him. When he was about to hit the golf ball, Rose poked his waist and Seth startled, causing his golf ball to miss the hole. He turned himself facing her. "Rose!" he grumbled as Rose laughed. Seth was trying hard to beat her record. 

        "You're not going to make it," she laughed. Seth put his hands on his waist and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really?" he said. Rose laughed and nodded. Seth shrugged and couldn't help but to laugh with her. Her laugh was so magical that caused butterflies in his stomach to flutter. They played golf until dusk and then, they got back to their own bedroom for shower.

         After getting ready for dinner, Rose got out from her bedroom and saw Seth, sitting on the couch, reading a book. She tip toed towards him and took a seat on the couch opposite to his. "Prince Seth," she called his name, sweetly. Seth chuckled and looked at her. "Yes, Princess Rose?" he smiled.

       Rose blushed and looked down, shyly. "Actually, I have a request," she blurted. Seth crinkled his nose. "Request? What?" he said, puzzled. Rose hesistated for a second, afraid that Seth might not agreed with her. "Remember that day you promised me that you'll help me meet my parents? Well, the day they came, I didn't meet them,"

         "So?" Seth said, numbless. Rose sighed and couldn't believe how stupid he was. "So, can you talk to the king to give permission for me to spent a few days with them? At our house?" she said hopefully. Seth didn't reply her immediately, instead, he asked, "Have you completed your princess lesson?" 

        Rose shook her head, slowly. Seth sighed. "Well, that request would be hard to be fulfil. Mother won't let you go, obviously," he said. Rose sighed and looked down, dissapointed with his answer. "Never mine then," she drawled and stood up to her feet. "I'm not going to dinner," she walked away, back into her bedroom. Rose lost her appetite when Seth said that she couldn't meet her parents.

         The next morning, Rose woke up late so Seth had left her for breakfast. She walked towards their dining room and found everyone there; Princess Meredith, King Edward, Queen Carla and Seth waiting for her. She bowed down. "I'm sorry that I'm late," she said, apologizing. Princess Meredith smiled. "It's okay, my dear. Come and join us. You missed dinner last night, you must be starving," she said kindly.

        Rose nodded and took a seat beside Seth. A maid poured the milk into the glass for her and served her breakfast; a slice of bacon, sausages and baked bean. She took a spoon from the table and started to eat. King Edward cleared his throat. "Our prince is a loving husband," he suddenly said, smiling at Seth. Rose stopped eating and glaced at Seth. "This morning, he came early to me to ask for permission to visit his in-laws house," he continued.

          Rose chocke when she heard King Edward told them about that. She grabbed her milk and drank it. She was suprise that Seth helped her and was happy that he kept his promise. "I think it's a good experience for him. At least, Seth could learn about the normal family lifestyle," King Edward assured. "What do you think, mother? Carla?"

        "I agree with you, Edward. Plus, it's our custom for a husband to spent a few nights in his in-laws' house," Princess Meredith agreed at once and made Rose squealed inside her. Now, Queen Carla. She hesistated for a second, thinking. "I'm alright with it, your Majesty," Queen Carla made her decission.

          King Edward nodded. "Very well then. Seth and Rose shall spent a night in the Humprey's house,"  he said at once before turning his eyes to Rose. "You're alright with it, Crown Princess?" he asked. Rose nodded excitedly and smiled brightly. "Yes! Thank you, your Majesty," she squealed. Princess Meredith giggled as she always thought that Rose was adorable. 

         After they finished their breakfast, Rose and Seth went out from the dining room. She looped her arm through his. "Thanks," she thanked him and they walked towards their bedrooms. "I don't know that you'll do that for me," Rose said in awe. Seth stopped walking and pulled his arm from her. "I'm not doing that for you. I just didn't want to watch someone crying like a baby in the castle," he said, sarcasms hitting each words.

        Rose frowned as Seth sighed. "How big is your house? Damn, I'll be having a hard time at your house. I bet it's smaller than our bedroom," he sneered. Rose hit his shoulder. "You don't have to come if you don't want to. I could go there alone," she looked down. Seth shrugged. "Do you think they'll let you go alone? If it wasn't because of me, they wouldn't let you go. So, you have to be thankful that I'm very kind," he said.

           Rose smiled innocently and blinked her eyes. "Thank you," she said sweetly. "You'll come, right? Please..." she begged and rocked his shoulder. Seth chuckled and walked away from there. "Hey! You'll come with me? Please...." Rose chased him and started to poke his waist; his sensitive spot.
