ALVIA'S POV

"Where are we going?" Asked my advisor, Frederick. At first, I try to ignore him but it's the fourth time he asked since we got into the car. He was surprised when I told the driver that I want to drive on my own.

"You do know that you're not authorised to have the maids vehicle and went for a joy ride to the city? And where the hell did you get such clothes to wear?" He asked.

"Well I can't walk around the city wearing my own clothes, am I? I don't want to create unnecessary trouble for public citizens." He sighed heavily.

"My emperor, your action will not make the current situation better. It will only make it worse. Please, tell me where are we going?" When we stop at a red light, I finally face him.

"I'm craving for something and none of the cooks at the palace knows how to make it like this particular eating place just outside the imperial city," his eyes widen.

"Outside the city?! Are you mental?! We can't leave the city just like that! We need to inform the guards, your parents, the council members! Everyone actually. This is the matter of your safety," I sighed heavily before continue to drive.

"You know, this is why I hate to bring you out and about. You're always so ... formal and live your life by the law too much," I shake my head.

"You think I like being a Betty buzzkill? I have an obligation when it comes to being the emperor's advisor. And since the emperor himself is not someone who obey the rules, I need to be the one who does." He finally snapped.

"Hey! This is my second time breaking the law of the palace," he just glares at me after saying so.

"Oh really? Need me to remind you of that crazy trip you took when you knew that your favourite Korean girl group having their first-ever concert at the neighbouring kingdom?" that trip was fun. I had such an amazing experience being a regular person for a night.

"Hey! They're life. Even if it kills me, I will go to their concert." I was determined. I mean, TWICE is life, right? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only ONCE here. Hell, even the author of this book is a ONCE!

"I will never understand how can someone as dignified as you could even go this far for a girl group. I mean, you have the power and money to bring them to your kingdom. Why not do that?" He just doesn't get it huh?

"It's different. If I did the things you just mentioned, it won't be the same. The feelingS I mean. Once they were informed that the emperor wishes to see them, they will do whatever it takes to be as poise as they can be. I don't want that." He just doesn't see my logic.

"But you're the emperor. They should bow down to you," I shake my head no.

"You just don't understand. Forget it. Anyway, we're here." He looks outside the window and was surprised to see the place.

"You actually went here alone the last time? Do you know where we are now?" He asked while I find a spot to park the car.

"Yea. I am aware of it," I smiled when there's a car that's about to leave.

"And it didn't cross your mind that these people might have grudges on the imperial family? I mean most of the people who reside in this part of town are someone who against your ideology. What if they know who you are?" I turned off the engine and face him.

"We could only plan but God is the one who has the last say. If it's my time to go, it's time. But if it's not, it's not. Let's not assume they're all bad people. Who knows, some of them might be quite nice to be friends with," his expression changes.
