☆ Alvira's Pov ☆

"Come on in" Aeris gave a welcoming smile to the blond ninja standing at the doorsteps.

"Thank you so much" He smiled before finally entering.

I had to work so hard to convince him to finally come with me and he has the audacity to give that angelic smile

☆ Flashback☆

"No,I am seriously fine.Thank you for the offer though" He smiled as he continued to take tiny steps backwards.

"You have to come inside.I insist" I tried to smile politely.

Keyword:Tried

This looks so fake

My cheeks hurt

Why isn't this dude coming in?

"I am really fine,Thank you so much"

"Listen,my friend won't give me cookies if I don't bring you" I finally confessed,glaring at him.

"That seems like a you problem,not a me problem" He replied honestly.

"It's going to be an 'us' problem if you don't come with me" I threatened,making him gulp.

"No thank you!" He yelped before trying to roll away to escape after suddenly plopping down on the ground but the outcome was the same.

I gave him a blank look as I saw him roll away and crash against a tree this time.

The amount of second hand embarrassment I feel

"Fine...I'll come with you" His cheeks flushed red due to embarrassment.

"Why did it take you so long?My cookies are already in the oven" Aeris whispered as we followed after the blond ninja,making my left eye twitch at her comment.

"WOAH!WHAT IS THIS?" an excited scream was heard from my room.

What about my privacy?

We walked in my room to see him looking at one of the plushies that fell out of our luggage.

"That's a plushie.......A stuffed animal toy" replied Aeris at the boy whose eyes lit up with both curiosity and excitement.

"IT'S A BUNNY" His eyes shone with excitement as he hugged the stuffed bunny closely.

"Omg!He looks adorable.I am going to give him some cookies" Aeris silently cooed at the scenery and invited him to the fully empty dinning hall to eat cookies with us.

MY COOKIES

THE COOKIES I EARNED WITH HARD WORK

He happily obliged and followed us into the dinning hall with the plushie still in his hands.

Oh so now you agree to the offer

WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME?!

Aeris placed the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies onto a plate and told us to dig in.

I eyed the biggest cookie from the moment Aeris took it out of the oven.Grinning happily at the thought of eating it,I extended my hand to grab it when the blond ninja snatched it away.

So he spies on us,tries to roll away when we invite him in,breaks into my room,steals a plushie and now HE stole MY cookie?!

"What is your name?" I asked the cookie thief,glaring at him as I took another cookie from the plate.

"I apologize I forgot to introduce myself.I am Huening Kai.I am the private secretary of the healer of the palace" Kai introduced himself as he snacked on 'his' cookie.

"The healer?Like in books and movies?" Aeris asked curiously.

"Yes,that's Beomgyu.He is the one with the brown hair.The one that mimicked you?" Kai stiffled a laughter at the memory.

"Isn't healer just a fancier way of saying 'doctor'?" Aeris asked,her face having an unamused look as she thought about how that Beomgyu guy mocked us.

"I don't know how things work in your planet but here doctors treat medical conditions but healers treat curses and magical diseases with the help of spells and potions" Kai explained,taking another cookie.

Magic works here?

Omg

"Magic works here?" Aeris and I asked at the same time,our eyes widened at the new information.

"We have wizards,mages and healers.They are able to use magic" He replied.

"That black haired guy with big eyes you saw earlier?He Kang Taehyun,one of the most higher ranking wizards" He further explained.

Ooooh

I want to use the "Yer a wizard,Harry" line on him

He'll probably banish me though

"The one with the bright red hair is Prince Yeonjun.He is the oldest son of the royal family" He introduced the people who interrogated us.

"And the one with the bunny-like face and black hair is Prince Soobin,the younger brother of Prince Yeonjun.He is the crowned prince"

Isn't Yeonjun the oldest?

Why is Soobin the crowned prince?

"How is he the crowned prince?" Aeris asked the question that popped up in my head.

"Uhhh...for many reasons" He replied with an amused look on his face.

"What are your names?I talked about a lot of things,broke in to your room,stole this plushie and ate cookies with you guys but I still don't know your names.Why are you guys here?" Kai looked at the bunny plushie that he placed in the chair beside his.

At least,he has a conscience

"I am Alvira" I introduced myself,leaving Aeris to explain the entire ordeal.

"I am Aeris and we came from Earth" Aeris introduced and explained how we ended up

"That sounds hectic......" He commented after hearing the whole story.

Now is the time

"Do you know any Suno-"

"I am sorry but I really need to go now.I didn't realize how late it became" Kai's eyes widened,peering at the dark sky from the dining hall window.

It was indeed evening now

Goodbye then,Cinderella

"You can take this one" Aeris spoke handing him the big bunny plushie.

"I possibly can't-"

We all know he wants the plushie

He is literally in love with it

"We have plenty more.You can take it" I further insisted.

"Okay then.....I'll take it!" He smiled brightly as he hugged the plushie closer to him.
