Hi! This is my first fanfic.
So basically in this story, Mikan is about 19 and Natsume is about 21 years old. This story is based on Goong S or Prince Hours. Enjoy! :)
"He's coming back! He's coming back!" or "He's going to be here soon." was all anyone would say these past few weeks.
And then today, "He's here! He's here!"
So you finally came back, Your Highness.
*Flashback*
"…7, 8, 9, 10! Ready or not here I come!"
"Oh Natsume, come out come out wherever you are."
"Come on Natsume, it's been half an hour. Where are you?"
"Hey idiot, look up" and there he was sitting up at the sakura tree grinning down at me.
"Hahaha. You lose Natsume and as your punishment, you must listen and do everything I say, alright."
"Fine… What do you want from me, Mikan?"
"Hmm, lets start with promising that you will never leave me and always stay by my side."
"Deal."
*Flashback end*
"All palace staff, please go to the Great Hall now, I repeat, go to the Great Hall now. The ceremony is about to begin," announced the Head Palace Maid.
I guess I'll see him shortly. I highly doubt that he still remembers me. It's been ten years after all.
"Announcing the arrival of His Royal Highness, Hyuuga Natsume, Crown Prince of the kingdom Ablazia."
The sound of people clapping bounced off the walls of the room. Everyone was happy that the Crown Prince finally came back after all these years being abroad. The king was also very pleased that he's son is back to ascend the throne.
But there was something off about the way he looked. It's as if he was not too fond of being here. As if he was displeased at something. Maybe he's just feeling tired from all those hours of travelling.
Soon the party started and everyone quickly got into the mood. People were dancing, drinking and having fun except His Highness. I've barely seen him this whole night.
Huh, didn't realise my tray's empty. I better go back to the kitchen to get some more.
"Umph!" I looked up and saw His Highness and he was glaring at me like I just killed a puppy.
"I'm so sorry Your Highness. I didn't mean to knock into you," I quickly said hoping he doesn't kill me.
"It's fine, just go," was all he said.
A few days later
"Hey Mikan, have you checked the new roster yet?"
"Nope, I'm on my way now. I'll see you later, okay."
Name...
Sakura Mikan…
Location...
Crown Prince's quarters…
Position…
His Highness's personal palace maid…
Personal palace maid… Personal palace maid… Personal palace maid… Personal palace maid…
How wonderful. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me. But judging by his attitude yesterday, I don't think he recognises me so I guess that everything's going to be all right. I hope…
The next day
"Hajimemashite Your Highness. It's a pleasure meeting you for the first time. My name is Sakura Mikan. I'll be your palace maid starting today."
What's wrong? Why isn't he saying anything? I looked up and there he was glaring at me. His ruby eyes turned so red, it looked as if it could set anything on fire.
"Hajimemashite?" He finally spoke.
"You sure have some nerves to say that to me Mikan. What… you have already forgotten about me? It's only been about ten years," he said, his voice tinted with anger.
"I wasn't sure if Your Highness could remember me so I did not want to assume anything," I quickly replied.
"And what with that Your Highness crap? Call me by my name like you always have, Mikan."
"I… can't. You're the Crown Prince now and I'm just a palace maid. We're both from two separate worlds."
"What garbage! You were fine with calling me by my name before so why change it now. You're such an idiot!"
"You're the here idiot, Natsume! Ten years ago we were still kids and I did not know better. Being a palace maid is my job now. It's where I earn a living. If I was caught using your name, I would be breaking palace protocol and I might even lose my job."
His face then softens and said, "Baka, then just use it when no one's around, like now for example. After all, you just used it." He smirked.
"You're lucky you're the Crown Prince or I would have punched your lights out…Natsume."
So, I hope you guys liked it. :) Send me a review if you have any thoughts about it. Thanks for reading!
