[Serene Andromeda Clementine]
"What's your name, little angel?"
My eyes widen, what is this kid doing?
I quickly tried push him away. Well, tried. He wouldn't budge!. I sighed deeply as a signal of my defeat.
The boy laughs before putting his hands under my armpits and tried to pull me up and twirl me around.
Well like I was, he tried but I think I've eaten way more pastries than I should've had. He grunted, scrunching his eyebrows in confusion. My cheeks heated up.
"Let's wait a few more years until you can lift her up like this, Nick" A bigger and deeper voice said. Suddenly, arms were wrapped around us both. I let out a squeal.
"Ho ho ho" The man laughs. Unlike the boy, this man has white hair but has the same blue crystal eyes.
His eyes then began to fixate on me.
"Well, what do we have here?"
An arm then wraps around my shoulders. "She's mine".
A somewhat possessive voice speaks. The boy looks at the man with determined eyes as he held me.
The man only chuckles it off. "If you say so, little Nick" He says, letting us go. I look back at the boy and truly noticed the height difference. He is not what would I say...'little'.
"Anyways, Father is awaiting for your arrival, I came to pick you up and It looks like we have another passenger" He gazes down to me as he speaks.
The man guides us down the ship and to a giant carriage. I just kinda followed along, I didn't know anything else about this place other than it's name, so I was kind of worried.
The boy sat across the man and looks at me expectantly. I then sat besides him reluctantly. And before the carriage can even move, he lazily leans his head on my shoulder, nuzzling his nose on my neck. It felt ticklish.
"Someday, I will lift you up and make you happy" He mumbles. I scrunch my eyebrows, glancing at him.
"Uh...okay then..."
[While the sweet exchange happens, the man was completely affected by their naive sense and cuteness]

"Woah!" Serene failed to keep to herself. She was staring agape at the huge-enormous castle. She doesn't exactly know what her castle looks like because she's been told to not go out often.
The Niccolo seems to be amused by her expression and smiles before gripping at her hands and pulling her towards it.
"This is where I live" He boast. The man they've been with, the second prince, Samuel Giovanni Castellan, who had known his brother for years, smirks and failed to suppress his shock. Nick isn't the one to boast especially with him being a prince, importantly, he always goes around saying he's just a village kid. And for him to boast about the castle to the little girl he had only met a few minutes ago, was a big change.
"Woah!, its bigger than my room! " The little girl says, looking around the side kitchen. Samuel watches her actions. Precise and elegant but has its own charm. A ding then went up to his mind. [Aaah!] he thought, smiling before slipping away from the scene.
"Do you like chocolate?" Serene asks the boy, after he gave her one. The boy's eyes widen before he looks away, scratching his neck, stuttering.
"U-uh...Y-yeah, sure" Serene tips her head to the side, before smiling. "Oh really?, then you should try this!, it tastes wonderful!" She says, pushing a chocolate tart towards him.
Nick smiles nervously. He isn't much of a fan of sweets specially chocolates.
"Uh...I already had them..?"Nick lies. Serene looks determined as she gives him puppy eyes.
"Please!"
[In the end, Nick takes a nervous bite. Serene was overjoyed while Nick spend his time silently trying to gag out the pastry without her knowing.]
