A/N: Hai! I'm back! Back to take over the world! All of you shall be my slave! Hahax! Just kidding… Anyways, I'll get to the story right away…

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BE MY PRINCESS

"I choose…" I looked around the room once more and completed my sentence. "Prince Wilfred"

I looked at him and I could see that he was surprised. But after a few seconds, his face turned back to the normal, emotionless kind of face. He was able to regain his composure so fast that I thought that it was just my imagination.

"Okay then. It's settled... for now, that is..." Prince Roberto said.

He looks a bit disappointed… Could he be hoping for me to pick him? No way. I need to stop thinking about that.

I tried to shake off the feeling and said cheerfully, "Yeah!"

Both Prince Joshua and Prince Keith looked annoyed for a minute and then, Prince Wilfred finally spoke up.

"Come on. Let's get going…" he spoke so softly that I thought I was imagining things.

He started to leave and went out of the room. I quickly got and ran after him. To my surprise, he was waiting for me outside the room.

"Come on, let's go… Claude won't appreciate it if we're late." He said and left.

Who's Claude? I thought to myself as I followed him.

Then, he suddenly stopped.

"What'-?" I started to say but before I could finish, I was cut off by Prince Wilfred.

"Why?" he said softly.

"Hm? What do you mean?" I asked.

"Why me? Why did you pick me? You could have picked Prince Roberto…" he said.

He looked sad for a second but then, the look was replaced by his normal expression. But then again, he always looks sad…

We walked all the way outside without saying anything but before we reached the car, he stopped again.

"So… What's going to be our excuse? I mean we can't just walk in and say that you're going to stay with me right?" he said.

"Oh… Then, how about a fire? That my house got burned while I was at the party?" I suggested.

"Okay" was all he said before we continued walking.

When we reached the car, there was a man waiting for us.

"Good evening Your Highness." he said before opening the door of the car.

"After you" Prince Wilfred said and I went into the car.

"Your Highness, may I know who this lady might be?" the man asked politely.

"Claude, I shall explain to you and the King and Queen later. Now, let's just go back." Prince Wilfred Replied.

"Yes, Your Highness." Claude replied before getting into the driver's seat.

So this man is Claude… I wonder if he is a butler… I stared out of the window and watched the city passed by us.

When we reached Chateau Philip, it was already past midnight and I was told to stay in the Guest Room.

"Claude, take good care of her. She's a very important guest." Prince Wilfred said and left so quickly that I didn't even have a chance to say thank you.

"Please rest well. Feel free to use any of the things provided, including the clothes. Good night."Claude said before leaving as well.

Exhausted after the day's events, I collapsed onto the comfortable bed. I replayed everything that happened in my mind and soon, I drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes and rubbed them. I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Where am I? What is this place? I thought to myself when I heard a voice from beside me.

"I see you are awake. Would you prefer tea or coffee?"

I quickly sat up on my bed and looked beside me, where I saw Claude seated on a chair beside my bed.

I almost screamed and fell from the bed but luckily, I stopped myself in time. Although I was able to stop myself from doing that, I couldn't stop my eyes from growing wide.

"Oh, sorry. Did I frighten you?" Claude asked me kindly and at the same time, giving me a kind, charming smile.

"Oh, no. It's okay. Don't worry about it." I quickly replied.

"Would you like to have breakfast first or would you like to change first?" he asked.

"Umm… I think I would like change first…" I replied.

"Okay please call me when you're done." he said, before bowing and leaving the room.

"Umm Claude, you can come in now…" I said quietly as I went out of the room.

Claude came in and served me tea. As we were chatting, I got a chance look at him properly, which I didn't yesterday as I was really tired.

His broad back, strong shoulders and his blue eyes…they're… beautiful… I was lost in my own little world of thoughts when a strict voice disturbed them.

"Miss? Miss? Are you listening?" Claude half shouted at me.

"Oh, sorry…" I quickly replied, shocked at the tone of his voice.

"I was saying that no matter how important you are, we should at least be aware of your well-being as you are, after all, the responsibility of us. So would you mind giving me your phone number and email address so that I can contact you? And after this, I will be showing you around the castle. There are some places that you are allowed to enter and some that you are not allowed to do so. I will also telling you the rules of the castle as you will be staying here for a while, according to His Highness." Claude explained strictly.

Oops… I think I made him angry by not listening… I thought to myself as I quickly gave him my phone number and email address.

As he was showing me around the castle, he told me whether I could enter the room or not. He also told me which route I should take to reach a particular place. Besides that, he also told me every single rule I had to follow which made me feel like my head was going to burst as I had trouble keeping up with all that.

I wonder how he managed to memorize all those… It's amazing… It's like he has super memory or something… While I was thinking and walking at the same time, I literally bumped into someone. When I looked up I saw…

A/N: So there you go! Sorry I took a while to write this chapter… I wanted to make it as long as possible but I just didn't have the time to write… Forgive me if there are grammar or any errors… English is really my worst subject… And also, sorry this chapter has a lot of dialogues…I think the next chapters will also be the same… Lots of dialogues…

I have a few more days before I have to go back to school so I'll keep writing as much as I can! Bye!
