"Sorry about that." I said. We're now at the terrace.
"No worries." She said.
I looked at her. "You're… alright with it?" I asked.
Her face went red. "N – no! Of course not!" she said. "I know that they're just joking!" she said.
I sighed. "Dunno why they do that." I said. "Anyway…I forgot to ask this…" I said.
"Hmm?" he said.
I took a deep breath. "I've already noticed this, but…. Do you sleep?' I asked.
"Huh?"
"Well, I mean… you're always here, day and night. You're also still here even when I was already asleep." I said. "So I'm wondering if you sleep and where?" I asked.
"Of course I do sleep." He said.
"Where?" I asked.
"You don't have to know – " she said. I frowned. She chuckled. "Seriously. I sleep." She said.
"Hmph!" I said, then frowned. "Just make sure it's not in my terrace you're sleeping – " I said. She laughed. I smiled. "Well… time to sleep now, I guess. We have an early day tomorrow – " I said, referring to us looking for the painting, "Good night." I said and went to my bed.
She smiled. "Yeah. Good night." She said and looked at the moon.
The Queen's POV
She was about to knock when she heard voices speaking inside the room. She smiled and remembered what happened this afternoon.
Flashback
"Oh? Where's Yelena?" I asked, and noticed that Yelena still hadn't gone down for lunch. "I'd look for him." I told my husband and went upstairs to Yelena's room. "Oh, my." I said when I opened the door and saw them lying on the bed. I looked around. It's messy. "So they really looked for the painting." I said. "Or – " I looked at them, hugging each other. I smiled. "They look good together." I said. "Guess I'd just leave them alone – " I said and went outside. I covered my mouth to prevent myself from screaming, "My! That young woman's not bad to be my daughter's wife!" I said and grinned widely.
"Oh? Dear, did anything good happen?" my husband asked when I went back.
I smiled. "Yelena will surely have a bright future, either way." I said.
"Ah. He sure has." He said.
We continued eating.

I smiled, then told the maidservants silently standing on the side to leave the princess's room. They all quietly answered and bowed and followed me back to my room.
Vice's POV
"Rest. It's been 5 hours, you know?" she said. "Anyway, wake me up if somebody arrives." She told me and went to sleep before I could answer.
I looked at her face and touched it. "So smooth… and white." I said, referring to her skin. I am tanned. I brushed her hair that fell on her forehead. "She's really beautiful." I muttered.
My finger traced her face, went to her cheek, to her nose, then down to her… lips. My face went red when I remembered she kissed me yesterday. I touched her lips. So soft… and red. I thought. I want to kiss her. My throat went dry. My finger traced her lips. Damn it. I really want to feel and taste her lips again. I thought and bit my lower lip.
My eyes went wide when my finger went inside her mouth. I gasped when she sucked it. What – "Mmm." I heard her groan.
I covered my mouth to stop myself from screaming. What is this sensation? I thought. My body feels hot – my skin is tingling.
I gasped when Yelena bit my finger and licked it. "Y… Yelna..." I called, biting my lower lip. My face is burning as my body. "Yelena…" I called, my knees grinding at each other. "Heck… what is this – " I muttered.
"Oi." I heard her call. I looked back. My eyes went wide and my whole body went red when I saw her looking at me. "You…" he said.
"Ye … Yelena!" I cried, shocked. "You… you're awake?!" I asked, surprised.
She didn't answer and just looked at me. "You're – " she said.
I covered my face, embarrassed. "N – no! This is… this is just a mistake!" I said.
She looked at me seriously. "Do you want… to do it?" she asked.
"Huh?" I asked. "Do what?"
She touched my cheek. "You know…" she said and kissed me.
My eyes widened. I groaned. "Yelena…" I called. She pushed me down her bed, not breaking our kiss.
"Vice…" she called, her hand went to my shirt's buttons.
"Wait - !" I cried.
Too late. She already opened my shirt.

I caught my breath when I woke up. "What was that?" I said, panting, I looked outside the window. I covered my eyes when the bright sun's light hit my face. "What a dream - ah." I said and then went to the bathroom to remove the heat on my body.
Emil's POV
"Mickey…" I muttered as I stared at the ceiling above me while I lay down on my bed.
Flashback
This afternoon.
"Why did the queen suddenly request for the princess's paintings to put them in her room?" I asked myself while carrying the paintings. Then, I suddenly gasped. "Of course! This was the princess's greatest work! She has the right – " I said and rushed inside the princess's room. I put them in the corner while the royal family is eating dinner downstairs. "Whew!" I said and wiped the sweat off my forehead. I looked at a certain painting and smiled. "I'd ask this from the princess next time. For sure!" I said and went outside the room.
It was a painting of two boys, laughing when they caught a fish in the river. It was me and Mickey, when we're still kids. Meanwhile, the prince, Vincent, was leaning on the tree reading a book. The wind blew and brushed against the locks of his silver hair. Yelena called him and he raised his head to look at her.
A pair of beautiful silver eyes stared at Yelena who was painting the scene.
Flashback end
Emil's brows suddenly knitted. "Why does the young prince look like someone…?" he muttered before he shook his head and forced himself to sleep.
