Hey guys! Sorry about the late update~ well, here you go! Oh yeah, this is an un-betaed story, so there might be mistakes here and there…Bare with me for a little while, plz! Enjoy~

In the Crystal (Ice) Capital Province…

Silent breathing could be heard in the room. It was evened and relaxing to listen to actually. The door of the sleeping occupant's bedroom opened with a slight creak coming from the bolts holding it. A young, caramel skinned women dressed in a teal and onyx colored maid uniform with long dark blue hair cascading down her back walked through the door and over to a large bed with curtains draped down it in the middle of the room.

'The prince must still be sleeping…' she thought while she walked over to the large-scale windows to open the curtains to let in the light.

Walking back over to the bed, she kneeled onto the ice covered floor and bowed her head slightly.

"Kuroko-tama, its Ohai. Your mother, the queen, has requested me to come and collect you for this morning's breakfast," she waited for an answer and for her master to come out of bed.

There was a moan and then some rustling coming from the bed in the middle of the room. With a soft yawn, a tussle of teal hair poked out from the curtains on the bed, followed out by a thin pale hand reaching out from the curtains to pull them back.

"Ohaiyo, Kazure-chan. I'm aware that mother has sent for me, but thank you for following orders anyway," a graceful and soft blank face that carried a monotone voice spoke out to the kneeling girl.

"My job is to comply with the orders of the King and Queen, as well as yourself, my prince," Kazure spoke to the icy floor.

Swinging his feet out from the bed and landing on the iced floor, which held warmth to him, Kuroko fluently walked to the maid side and stood to her right, placing a soft pale hand on top of her hair.

"Poor thing, look at me child of the Water kingdom," Kuroko looked down at her, his awaiting eyes wanting to be met with her onyx ones. Kazure, almost hesitantly, looked up into her master's eyes.

"That's better. Now, you need not to be so formal with me. You practically raised me since I was a baby since Mother and Father are always busy with the kingdom. Please, when we are alone and around other friends, call me Tetsuya," Kuroko gently stroked the soft hair, but soon turned towards the direction of a door that read "BATH".

"Ah, whatever you wish for my pri—I mean…Tetsuya-chan…" a deep red blush crept onto Kazure's cheeks as she slowly stood and watched Kuroko disappear into the bathroom.

Soft chuckling could be heard coming out of the bathroom as the sound of water filled the area.

"So cute~ anyway, you may leave now. Please tell my mother that I shall be in the East Hall for breakfast in due time," with that final statement, Kuroko shut the door to attend to his daily morning business.

Kazure walked back out of the door from which she came to complete the task given to her by her prin-… Tetsuya.
