Today was a busy day. Everyone in the palace is getting ready for the coronation day tomorrow. Claude on the other hand is currently busy of what he should wear tomorrow that he almost called all the taylor.

Meanwhile, Athanasia is still doing her duty as the future empress. "You really need to rest, I can see your eye bags Athy." Ambrosia teased. "Tomorrow is your coronation day, so you should get ready."

"I'll get ready tomorrow. Getting ready today is even more stressful than these paper works" Athy answered with a small sigh coming out from her mouth. "I bet everyone outside the palace are in chaos."

"but-" and before she could even finish her sentence, the door shut opened revealing an expected person.

Athanasia then stood up with a bright smile pushing her sister towards Lucas. "Look, it's Lucas!"

"Yeah, I kno-"

"Why don't you two hang out together!?" Athanasia beamed a smile looking at the two who's now standing beside each other.

"Yeah, I was planning on taking her away anyway." Lucas replied bluntly. "Now, Go shoo shoo and focus on your work." Athanasia rolled her eyes as their figure soon disappeared not giving Ambrosia a chance to talk.

"Where are you taking me this time?" Rosia asked walking with Lucas with their hands intertwined.

"Why? Can't I take the princess to a date?" Lucas innocently questioned as if he was a clueless puppy.

"Oh! Do you mean going outside the palace??" Rosia answered with an excitement filled in her voice.

"No, even better than that." Lucas grinned as he snapped his fingers.

"We're going outside the empire."

and just like that they vanished into a thin air.

"You've already teleported so many times with me, yet you still can't get used to it." He teased, looking at Ambrosia with her eyes closed and her hands gripping on his clothes tightly. Not that he was complaining, he actually likes it whenever she does that.

"It's not my fault, it still feels weird." Ambrosia pointed out the huffed. "There is no way I'll get used to it."

"Where are we going anyway? and where are we?" She looked around just to see that it was snowing, kids were everywhere playing with the snow.

"Zariya empire." Lucas simply replied before dragging her somewhere private.

Ambrosia then gave him a shock look wich made him chuckle. "Why would you take us here, you idiot!" She hit his shoulder lightly shouting in a whispering way.

Zariya Empire, The only empire where magic is illegal, magic doesn't exist there, and anyone who'd dare to do some silly magic would automatically be executed by the emperor himself.

"Don't you think it's fun? plus, even if we get caught, we can easily escape from them." Lucas replied calmly with a grin formed in his face. "Now, stop being such a good girl and have some thrilling experience." He finished before snapping his fingers one again.

"Woah" Ambrosia murmured, seeing how their clothes were replaced so easily by a cozy one. A perfect fit for the winter.

"All set." The magician then held the poor princess's hand dragging her  somewhere.

Poor Ambrosia, being dragged almost everytime.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, looking around. Ambrosia shooked her head admiring the place.

"I wanna sit on the snow and admire the view." Rosia said, Lucas then smiled.

"Then let's go find a perfect spot for that." and once again, she got dragged by the magician.

***

"Woah! It's so pretty up here!!" Rosia sat down on the snow while Lucas did the same. "It's almost night time, I didn't even notice."

"If you didn't get distracted by those shining objects, books, useless decorations and food then we would already reach this place." Lucas again teased.

"It was fun!" Rosia smiled widely. s

"Yeah, It seems like you had fun emptying my wallet." The magician sighed with a smile. At least she had fun.

"You're rich anyway, so it's okay." Rosia shrugged as she layed her head down on the magician's lap.

"You're back is gonna get cold." Lucas  chuckled, playing with her hair, He is indeed very gentle when it comes to her.

Rosia only hummed. "Today was fun." She started. "I had fun today, thanks to you."

"You always have fun when you're with me, you know that." She scoffed with a small chuckle.

"Yeah."

There was a moment of silent, though it wasn't awkward for the both of them, they were only admiring the view.

"How beautiful." Rosia whispered enough for Lucas to hear. Lucas then smiled, looking at her.

"Hmm, how beautiful." Rosia looked at the magician with a smile.

"How majestic." Lucas smirked, leaning closer to her face.

"Just how much are you in love with me?" He asked with a smug face.

"I should be the one asking you that." Rosia fired back.

"Me?" He started before looking at the night sky once again. "It's endless and unexplainable. " He shrugged, looking at the princess's flustered face.

"But.." He paused for a millisecond before leaning in again with a small smirk.

"I can show it to you." He murmured before brushing his lips against hers, it felt soft.

Rosia sighs to the kiss, cupping the magician's face as her hands slowly went into his neck.

It was a memorable moment. A moment where the moon was the only witness of them sharing a kiss together.
