*~The Past and The Acceptance~*
~Third Person's POV~
Upon arriving at the place, she was given days to familiarize herself to the surroundings with Royal Adviser Io, later he presented Mary to the Prince she was so excited to see him, her smile is almost like she was won a lottery to see the person she admires most after many attempts.
However...Prince Zess was not pleased by the action taken by his Adviser.
"Who is this steerage you brought to my place?! Io, you are to come to my office after this matter is over."
"Your Highness pardon me but I always think of your welfare."
"As your Royal Adviser, I would never bring a person that will bring harm, your out most trust is only my wish." Io politely said.
"Very well, bring her in."
(Door opens)
"Nice to meet you your Highness I am Mary Melissa Harfrum your new personal attendant, I would greatly like to be at your service."
and the Prince coldly replied "The Royal Adviser has trusted you but I don't!!"
But Mary counters the Prince's words with warmth and dedication.
"You're the soon to be crown King. The more amazing thing is you're the same age as me, so young. I won't be trustworthy as Master Io to you but allow me to serve and prove to you my dedication your Highness, I promise I won't be in your way and serve you at the best of my abilities." she said and bows.
The Young Prince cannot utter a word and leave the supervising to his Royal Adviser.
Mary was taken to her room and her work will start soon once she recieves further instructions.
Upon leaving at the throne room up to the study room, Prince Zess and his royal adviser was talking about random stuffs.
"Yesterday, the event was successful there are no casualities and the people are very happy most especially the visitors have doubled with this, it only proves your efforts are splendid as always my Prince, a job well done."
"Well then I wouldn't pull it off, if it weren't for you." Prince Zess replied.
"Is your new attendant cute?" The teasing Io asked.
"I don't think so...now if you're planning to distract my work using that girl, then get the girl out of my palace!"
"Geez how cold hearted can you be!...more like I was trying to encourage you. Why don't you at least trust or let her prove herself instead of directly judging you've been always like that since your parents d--."
"I refuse to let you speak further than this Royal Adviser." like an icy dagger Zess coldly stares at his cousin.
Io immediately apologizes.
"Sorry I was unaware of my words, but at least think of what I just said. The late King and Queen don't want to see their son being gloomy."
"Please get out for a while I need to think things." The irritated Prince shut himself in the study room.
(Zess talking to himself in a low voice)
"It's not their fault that I became like this, I chose the path of vengeance in the first place. I'll show to my people that I am not to be taken lightly as for my parents main killer I'll find them, I won't trust...Everyone is my enemy."
(Meanwhile)
As the Prince was doing paper works, the expressions the young lady made, leave an impression with young lady's thought bugging inside him, the antisocial prince was in confusion for a while...
