I held my chest as I recalled the incident earlier today... that sight isn't something someone can easily get used to. No wonder princess Charlie fainted and isn't feeling well. We were summoned by prince Taehyung to visit them in their designated chamber but was also immediately dismissed. He just simply reported the princess' condition. I hope she feels better asap.

"I-I'm not as excellent as her majesties... I'm just a frustrated one, your highness..."
He chuckled, his beautiful huge eyes concealed with darker lenses making him more handsome;
"Well, princess Annika. Frustration is a good sign. It means you really want to be good at it. I suppose we have all frustrations in this life that we couldn't get rid of. Also, I believe that you're quite perfect for Seokjin and Austria itself... being the music satellite of the world due to Mozart and other superb world renowned musicians, I think that the Austrians are just so lucky to have you. Not to mention that captivating face and the beguiling aura... I mean if I've known you way back then I would've probab- err..."
