"Elliot, are you sure you're going to do this secretly?" Air asked Elliot for the nth time. They both stood in front of the mirror while Elliot fixed the collar of his coat then looked at Air using the mirror. 

"I've decided. I don't want her to get involved, and… she agreed to it," answered Elliot still. Air didn't believe him. 

"You're lying," said Air while locking his eyes on Elliot. "You can't hide anything from me. I've known you since when?"

"Air, I'm warning you even if you are my friend. My personal life has nothing to do with you."

"And that is why I'm your friend. Even if you ask me to back out. I'm not going to," Air shook his head. 

Elliot turned his back, looking straight at Air. His face didn't show any expression making Air wonder what's he thinking about. Elliot placed a hand on his shoulder and asked, "What do I expect from you?" 

"Me being a good friend and brother," answered Air making Elliot laugh at his answer. Air raised a brow watching his friend laugh at him. "I'm serious. I know I'm not the type of person to say those words. But trust me when I say I'm concerned about you, I am."

"I really can't hide anything from you, can I?" Asked Elliot.

"Well, even if you try, you won't be able to," boldly answered Air, leaving his friend speechless. "Let me tell you. It's better to tell Princess Emelia. She won't like it. If you're hiding something from her."

Elliot stood in silence. He knows what kind of person Emelia is. Ever since the issue about the temple came up. Things hadn't been easy on them. But it's because Elliot thinks that he must fix this issue, not Emelia.

"Especially about this matter," added Air. 

"Air, do me a favor. Keep this away from her," Elliot gave him a smile. He removes his hand off his shoulder then walks out of his bedroom. 

Air watches the back disappear from his sight. He shook his head, knowing what kind of stubborn people those two are. Things aren't going to flow smoothly. Unless Emelia is willing to accept it. 

"It's hard to be a friend," muttered Air before leaving the room. 

The following days had been peaceful for Emelia. Her workload lessened. For some reason, she didn't know why. All she handled were the finances of the palace, checking inventory, and checking on the taxes. 

Emelia sat under a tree, holding a book in her hand. A sunny day with a cool breeze is the best day to read a book under the tree. The book she had was a children's book, but even adults like her read it since it was pretty interesting.

A little girl traveling all over the world just to find candies her grandmother gave her. Since it tasted delicious due to its taste, the little girl wanted to buy them but didn't know where it was. The little girl travels the world, unable to find the candy. She came back home and found a diary written by her grandmother. And there was the recipe for the candy. 

The little girl, at first, was dumbfounded that it was handmade by her grandmother. But later on, her dream was to open a candy shop for other children's to enjoy her grandmother's recipe. 

"Princess! So this is where you've been. Have you heard about the temple?" Asked Vanessa running across the field. Emelia shut the book and shook her head. 

"What about the temple?" Asked Emelia. 

"His Imperial Majesty just announced that the temple will be taken down!" Answered Vanessa while Emelia stood up.

"What?"

Emelia made her way to the office but then was stopped by Alan and Enoch. Her brows furrowed, glaring at the two, but they didn't budge at all. They didn't allow her to enter, which pushed Emelia to her limits.

"Move," commanded Emelia. 

"We apologize, but under His Imperial Majesty's orders, we cannot allow you," answered Enoch as he averted his eyes away from her. 

"What is the meaning of this?" Emelia asked, but the other two didn't respond. "I almost forgot that the both of you are loyal to him. How can I forget?" Emelia lets out a laugh then walks away from them. 

Emelia walks back to her room, not in a good mood. The servants and maids who passed by her felt a chill behind their backs. They kept their heads lowered despite Emelia not being in their view anymore. 

Vanessa, walking behind Emelia, looks at her coworkers and softly tells them to raise their heads. When they saw the troubled expression on Vanessa, they went their separate ways, thinking things weren't going to be fine for a while. 

Emelia enters her room, shuts the door, and locks her door. Vanessa jumped a bit, then twisted the doorknob, feeling it stuck in between its rotation. 

"Princess? Are you alright? Please open the door," begged Vanessa worried about Emelia. She looks behind her, seeing other maids concerned about what's happening. Vanessa called out again, but Emelia didn't respond. 

Albert turned to the corner, seeing a group of maids and servants swarm in front of the doors of Emelia's room. He stopped whistling and approached them with interest. When he saw the expression on Vanessa's face, he didn't think twice and asked.

"What's happening here?" 

"Princess, wouldn't open the door. I'm a bit concerned about her," answered Vanessa, not realizing whose voice it was.

"Just leave her alone for a while," suggested Albert. 

"But…" paused Vanessa, seeing Albert, who gave her a smile. 

"But?" 

"But I can't," continued Vanessa. 

"It's not you can't but don't want to," corrected Albert, then followed a laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Can't I be concerned?" Vanessa asked Albert, who shook his head while surrendering his hands up. 

"No, not at all. I'm just saying to give her space. I'll do something about so stop bothering her," said Albert.

"How can I trust you?" Asked Vanessa.

"You'll see," confidently answered Albert.. "Now, everyone, please go back with your work."
