Hello, Tigers!!!

I've just received the final proof for The Five Princes from my editor, and I'd like to share a preview of the final draft with you.

As you all know, this is the commercial version of The 7 Princes. The story is the same, but the characters have changed, and so have some of the scenes. I'd like to introduce you to two of my new characters: Nikos and Evann. Nikos is the unruly youngest prince of the castle, and Evann is the protective castle guard. 

I know many of you will prefer the original story with our beloved BTS members, but I hope you find a place in your heart for Nikos and Evann, along with the other 3 new "princes" in this new story. They're little pieces of my heart... and buckets of my sweat.    

This preview is only for you, my Tigers. Thank you for all your support.

I sat at the dining table, head spinning.

Princess? I couldn't be a princess. That didn't make any sense. Dad was a businessman. Mom was a fashion designer. They weren't royal people.

"And now I'd like to introduce you all to a special guest," the tour guide said. "Someone I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to meet in person."

I looked up. She wasn't talking about me, right? This was all a prank. I looked for cameras in the ceiling.

"May I introduce to you His Highness, Prince Nikos!"

The girls in the tour group gasped as a tall figure entered the room. One even screamed. Some stood to their feet, while others froze to their chairs. The men were just as excitable, pulling out their phones to take pictures.

That's why I knew that name. Prince Nikos — also known as the World's Prince.

The World's Prince was famous for his humanitarian projects, his elegant style, and his humble personality. The media used his nickname more than his real name, referring to him as every woman's dream prince.

He stood at the edge of the table, giving the bright smile that I had seen from time to time on TV. It was strange to see it in person. His dark hair was pulled to the side in a wave exactly like all his media appearances, as if it was glued that way. But he was much thinner than I imagined he would be, with narrower shoulders and waist. The fantasy of the World's Prince and the reality of the skinny teenager in front of me jarred.

"Hello, everyone!" he said, his voice as bright as his face. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'll be your host this evening. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course we don't mind!"

"I love you, Prince Nikos!"

"I named my labradoodle after you!"

He smiled at the comments, his face glowing. "Would anyone like to take some pictures?"

A bunch of girls screamed and ran up to him, handing their phones to the tour guide. I knew he was a few years younger than I was, but his face was even more youthful than I remembered from the news. On the flip side, there was a sharpness in his eyes and his smile that reminded me of the criminal mugshots I saw in the segments right after.

His sharp lips curled up as he bowed to me. The other guests turned to look at me, as confused as I was.

One of the guests hopped over to me and tapped my arm. "Don't you want a picture?"
