Chapter II - Rin's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes when the food was served, in front of me was all different kinds of food I've never even seen before. The prince quietly sits at the end of the table and chews his food quietly and I take a quick look and decide to eat what I had before at my kingdom, bread. I remembered my manners mother had taught me and I cringed when I remembered her slapping my hand when I didn't use my fork and knife properly. I couldn't help but daze off until he taps the table, startling me. "Rule number one, never ignore me when I'm talking to you." I roll my eyes, "But you just ignored me-" He interrupts me, "And you just introduced rule number two, never talk back to me." I couldn't help but snarl at him, even though I clearly knew that's what a princess does not do. "Get Rin a new dress," He said, signaling to a maid that stood quietly in the corner, "Yes, my highness." With that, she scurries off and I watch her until she exits the door. I couldn't help but glance down at my dress, "What's wrong with my dress?" I huff. He looks up from his meal. "Rule number three, do not speak during meals." I wanted to glare at him but instead, I held my anger and quietly obeyed my orders.

I collapse onto my soft bedding and look at the ceiling and frown. Why did my kingdom choose this Prince? Apart from looks and brains he's just arrogant and rude. "Miss, may I enter?" A knock was heard and I quickly sat up, fixing my hair. "Come in." I called back. "Here's my highness's dress he has ordered us to put on you." She explained, her lips formed into a small smile. "You have a small body." I notice her eyes avert to my chest and I blush, "U-Um, where is the dress then?" I quickly say, attempting to change the question. "Here," she holds out a gorgeous yellow dress with ruffles and hands it to me. "Maids!" She called, in seconds, three more maids walked in and gave me a smile. "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mary." she says then she points to the other three." That's Juro, Lunar and Daisy." The other three looked much younger than Mary.

After they helped me get changed, I couldn't help but take a quick look at my chest, frowning. "They're not that small." Lunar says smirking. I scrunched up my nose. "Thanks." she laughs and walks out the door after Mary, Juro and Daisy. "Your highness wants to see you." I nod and fix my hair, making sure it didn't look like I just climbed out of bed like it always did. "I'm coming."

The prince was sitting at his work desk, flipping through papers and i couldn't help but notice how much work he has to do. "U-Um you needed to see me?" I ask him, afraid to step inside. He looks up and I notice his face go bright pink. "I-Is there anything wrong?" I ask nervously. He coughs and quickly looks back down at his desk. "I'll be telling you what you need to do, here's a list." He hands me a small scroll and when I open it, it drops to the floor and my eyes widen. "This much?!" I couldn't help but blurt out. "Do some reading." he waves me off and I frown as I pull the scroll along with me. This is going to be worse than I thought.

1. learn to ball dance - dance lessons at twelve everyday
2. Gardening
3. Finish signing papers - nine at night
4. sewing - sewing lessons at eight every morning, everyday.
5. Learn playing the piano - lessons at three to seven.
6. Going down to the town and socialize with the townspeople
7. help out around the castle
8. making sure the maids don't do anything wrong
9. horse riding - lessons four times a week.

My eyes felt dizzy after reading not even quarter of his list. All of these things I've never done at my kingdom, I didn't even know how to dance! Mother forced me to and gave me lessons but I either tripped or stepped on my partners foot. I was never as graceful as Luka, Aria or Miku. Mother would always look up to them and expected me to be like them too. I fall asleep, tired of this crazy day, and it's only day one....

"Wake up!" I hear a loud shout and my eyes slowly open. Mary was scolding at me and I frown, rubbing my eyes. "It's six in the morning, Princess! You should be up!" I groan as I sit up and look at the clock for myself. "So?" I say. "You have sewing lessons! Get changed!" She pulled me up and after I got changed into a yellow dress, this time longer than yesterday with more detail. "Your teachers going to be here in two minutes." She said as she led me to a room. "Have fun! Then she left. I was tired and I've never sewed in my life. I hope the teachers not strict. As if on cue, a lady with her hair tied into a bun that sat on her head with a long red dress walked in and sat down on the seat in front of me. She held a firm stare and I gulped, "Now, I will teach you a design my highness wants you to sew." She says, she shows me a piece of fabric with a complicated rose design and i gasp. Me? Sew this? She hands me a new piece of fabric, a needle and some string. "You have three minutes." I frown as I stared at the needle, I knew that I had to pull the string through the needle hole and- "No!" I jump a little as she shouted at me, snatching the needle from me. "You pave never sewen before?" She asked annoyed. "N-No." I replied. She sighed, I'll teach you form the beggining."

It's been a hour and she's been teaching me how to sew properly and her hands were quick, I tried to follow her but my needle kept crashing into my fingers instead of the fabric. My fingers were throbbing and in pain but I had to catch up. I checked the time quickly and I frowned, there's two more hours left.
After two hours, my fingers were bleeding and they were shaking violently. "I thought you could've done better than that Princess. Why did prince Len even choose you?" She huffs. I felt my heart bang against my chest, for some reason my heart hurts more than my hands. "See you tomorrow, you better improve overnight." I nod quickly and she leaves. I look down at my hands. They hurt.

My dance teacher wasn't helping with the situation either, he would hold onto my hand too hard that they hurt and I would trip over his feet since he was too tall. "Watch out!"
"No, no, no!"
"It's step left then right!"
I sigh with relief after that's over. Dancing was never my thing and now not only my hands hurt, my legs hurt too. I check the time and quickly go to the bathroom, scrubbing my hands. I couldn't help but since as the cold winter presses against my cuts and the bleeding didn't seem to want to stop. I stared at myself in the mirror. I want to go home.
