A/n: third person but in the prince's perspective. enjoy!
"My Lady wait!" Alexiss heard a voice outside his workplace. looking, he put down the files that his Father gave him and walked towards the window. Outside he saw young Maid full of sweat and in front of her was Young Girl who's half of its body was covered in blood.
"Gil.....who's that?" He looked over his assistant wearing a confused look, "she's covered in blood" he later added. Gil looked over where his Young Master pointed, the shock was clearly drawn on his face but he manages to change his expression.
"That, young master is the daughter of duke Alastair Von De Pier." He replied once he got to see clearly. "Hm, assassins?" Alexiss questioned
"Most Probably Yes Young Master, The Royal Family, And the De Pier Dukedom are the only people who have Assassins waiting for their lives"
"fascinating, how vicious." as he smirked while looking at the bloody Young Lady
--------------------------------------------
"hmm, she's back. Why does Father call her every day?"
"She showed her intelligence once Duke Alastair and His Majesty were talking about political matters" Gil answered. Even Gil was amazed by the Younger Lady, clearly, a young girl should not be able to answer such since they haven't seen the cruelty of the world yet she did.
"let me guess, it did not work?"
"it did your Highness, the solution that she gave about the southern border worked" Alexiss looked at his assistant amazed. Clearly, this Young Girl might not be like the rumors. ' timid and shy? not quite, she's clever. that the right word' he thought

For 3 months, Prince Alexiss has been observing Chantelleia every time she visits. it's either looking at the window or waiting for her at the forest path. Well not technically seen by her but in the shadows, as unearthly as it sounds he did do it for over 3 months yet Chantelleia did not even notice.
as always, Prince Alexiss was waiting at the Forrest path but this time instead of only seeing Chantelleia and her maid only, in front of them is the daughter of Baron Trinks. cold sweat ran on his back 'shit" he thought. for the past 2 years young baroness trinks has been following him wherever he goes. It was quite annoying on his part, he already show that he's uninterested in her yet that girl is persistent.
Prince Alexiss observed from the shadows, he saw how Lady Trinks made fun of Lady De Pier. He was about to interfere the conflict but he saw how how Lady De Pier handled the situation. He stayed still on the shadows while still observing them, he even saw Baron Trinks interrupting the misunderstanding.

"Good morning Your Majesty" Prince Alexiss greets his father.
"Alexiss, no need to be formal. I'm your father"
Prince Alexiss just smiled at his father and did not utter a thing. as his father's' subject he needs to respect him. It doesn't matter if they're blood related, The position of a emperor is much higher than a prince.
"Why did you suddenly visit me??" Ask by his father
He smiled and replied. "I want to be engaged"
His majesty's eyes turned wide as he heard his son that he wanted to get engaged. "He's in the right age to be engaged but isn't it too early for me? I still don't want him to be engaged"
Alexiss saw how his father's troubled look. "I'm in the right aged father.
"I know, but who is the lucky girl?"
"De Peir's sole daughter."
