"Please wake up, Princess Miku,"

"Unnnh…" the girl had barely yawned in the change of a proper answer, "It's still early in the morning…"

"That is why you have to wake up, Princess, you have a tight schedule to be done for today," the maid kept telling the little princess to wake up, even after this she might get scolded by the aqua haired girl for disturbing her peaceful sleep.

Since the maid had waked her up, she had no other choice than opened her sleepy eyes and brought her body to sit up. The maids in the castle had been so stubborn lately; they would not leave her to enjoy her life even for a split second. Another schedule, another boring things, but, since she was the heir of the Green Kingdom, she knew that it was her responsibility to keep everything under control. Especially for today.

"Today King Kaito will come for a visit at twelve o'clock, it will be best for you to prepare yourself,"

Yeah, yeah ,right…another boring lunch time with the royalties…Miku couldn't think any reason, other than that the Blue Sky Kingdom was one of the greatest kingdoms, after the Green Kingdom of course. Yet its King, Shion Kaito, was just a goofy man, he acted like a little kid sometimes, happy over anything that he found interesting. Miku recalled when they walked together in the first time, Kaito always mused about how wonderful her kingdom was and…ice cream.

The aqua haired princess could only sigh as she recalled the experiences being with Kaito all of this time. Sure, he was a very nice man, but somehow, they were not clicked each other, not like a lover did. They got along well though, despite that he often made her tired for many reasons given.

"Princess?"

"Alright alright, I've heard you already. I'll wake up now…" with only her white night dress on, Miku walked into a bath room, a huge bath room, to take some bath and clean herself. She was not in the mood in meeting with Kaito today, since she had some other appointments that she considered more important. Having a little meeting with someone and of course took a walk around the city like she usually did.

The maid waited on the outside,"Princess, if you need anything, call me anytime."

"Okay, I'm doing alright by myself, you can just prepare another thing first," Miku came up with an answer inside the bath room.

"As you wish," and the maid walked out of Miku's room.

Miku sure took a very long time to take a bath, considering that she needed to look perfect…almost. Girl was always like this, wasn't it? After she finished her bath and combed her very long hair, Miku took one of her favorite dress, a simple light green colored dress with floral motive on its border. Before she could finish combing her hair someone knocked on the door,"Princess, are you there?"

"Yes, just come in, Gumi,"

"I'm in- my, you are very exceptionally beautiful today, princess,"

Miku could not help but feel embarrassed at her father's general honest compliment. She's just that direct, wasn't she?

The aqua haired general walked toward Miku's chair gracefully, dragging her white royal mantle. Gumi's charm was not only admired by the Green Kingdom's people, Miku herself sometimes amazed by how the general acted, she had not used to her aura even though they met almost every day.

"Geez, Gumi…you embarrassed me!" Miku felt her cheek became warm and glancing at the direction where Gumi stood, "And stop calling me princess, Miku is just fine. I've told you thousand times, remember?"

Hearing that, the young general giggled for a second, with a smile she answered, "I like to call you princess, it's more natural this way…and then again, it's more polite."

"Even though we are, in fact, childhood friends?"

Gumi sighed, not that again, "That still won't do, Princess. It will be awkward if your father hear that I call you by your first name,"

Miku pouted and looking back at the mirror while still combing her hair. Gumi let out another sigh, knowing that it was hard to deal with her supposed to be childhood friend. It was in still in the morning and yet they started to argue on simple thing like calling on Miku's name.

"Princess…"

No reaction coming from the princess. She still busy combing her long, untied hair.

"Look, it's silly to angry over little thing like calling your first name,"

Still no reaction.

"Oh my…" Gumi just could not win the argument against her stubborn princess, "Okay, Miku, you win," She sit near Miku's Queen sized bed, and smile in defeat.

The aqua haired smiled brightly at the taller girl's defeat, she quickly hugged her on the bed.

"That's the Gumi I know!" said the princess happily, still hugging Gumi. Gumi, of course, felt embarrassed at the current situation, being hugged affectionately always made people nervous right? Right…

"Miku-chan, I've- do I accidently interferes a romantic event here?"

"Wha-?"

A very nice timing of a maid, coming so suddenly without knocking the door. It was not the same maid like before, it was the head maid of Green Kingdom, Akita Neru.

"Sorry, I should not disturb-"

"UWAAAA Neru! It is not as it seems! You get the wrong idea!"With a bright red face, Gumi denied the statement quickly, avoiding any wrong meaning behind the huggie thingie which caused by the oh-so innocent Princess Miku.

"Is that so~?" Neru let a smirk showing on her cute face, tugging her left leg on the side. Her maid outfit waved right and left because of Neru's motion.

"Yes it is. Now Miku, please let me go, you can make another bad issue because of this." With a pout, Miku released her hug on Gumi, then standing near her. Still, Gumi face was as red as before, the effect because of being hug wouldn't go away quickly. "Princess Miku, you don't have time to fool around. King Shion Kaito of Sky Blue Kingdom will come for a visit, please respect his kindness and do not do something stupid like before."

"Like making Donn to chase him?"

Miku got a good glare from Gumi for raising that idea up. It was a sad fact that her dog, Donn, loved to chase Kaito around, and the last time Kaito had met with the dog, it had no want to release its grip on Kaito, made the latter had difficulties on breathing. Gumi had saved him though and scolded the young princess for letting the dog to do it.

"Not that or another," Gumi walked out of the bedroom, passed Neru and before leaving the room, she glanced Miku for some seconds, "Oh, and before I forget, our meeting should postponed for the next day," That and Gumi left them both.

"Uh…I hate her when she decides everything by herself,"

"That's the general for you," Neru decided to follow Gumi out of Miku's room,"She's a stubborn one, just like you, y'know? You should now prepare yourself for today's schedule, or else Gumi will give you a cold shoulder like before,"

As Neru went out, Miku just stood there without moving a muscle. She gave some of little thought out of her mind,"haaah…You just never change, huh, Gumi?" as she said that to no one but herself, Miku made her way out of her room, toward the Castle chamber.
