inside the younger prince's room, his super king sized bed which seemed oddly messy , there were a huge bunch of clothes who belonged specifically to Xi , Arthur and Isaac, scattered all around Luv who was peacefully sleeping on his tummy , also while pinning some clothes underneath him.

This all happened yesterday when he got the sudden urge to nest , though very flustered , he still had to satisfy that urge.

As soon as he heard a quiet thud , Luv instinctively woke up , he kept pretending to be asleep until he felt the intruder coming closer.

The masked assassin slowly and carefully approached the youngest prince , until he disappeared without a trace , the assassin panicked thinking of how he was just lying there a second ago.

He fell to the ground.

Luv had snuck behind him , swiftly and skillfully broke his neck , He dragged the body to the balcony and threw him off.

Staring down through his platinum locks that kept swaying from the wind at his cold flushed hands and feet.

He then Went back to bed leaving the balcony's door open the curtains dancing from the strong wind , he breathed hastily with the usual voices of guilt haunting him every time.

'It's either kill or get killed..'

he muttered continuously beneath his breath until he calmed down and quickly drifted back to sleep as if he was put under a spell.

Luv woke up and started sulking as soon as he heard his butler's footsteps.

'How come is it that I feel like I've only blinked and it's already the next morning.' He groaned and rubbed his head against the pillow.

"Young master, Please excuse.." said Isaac before entering the room with a grin and bowing sincerely for a good minute.

his aureate eyes roamed around his young master for a while , until he noticed the moving blinds his relaxed eyebrows slowly furrowed "Goodness , your highness , you slept with the balcony's door open?" He rushed to close them. "What if you catch a cold?" Isaac shook his head.

"For I..wanted to feel some breeze , I'm not that weak."

"Are you underestimating your master?" Luv said with a muffled voice as his face was still planted in the pillow.

Isaac stood beside the bed and watched as his young master slowly and heavily raised his arm , he gently slid his hand against Luvian's softly toned arm before firmly wrapping his other hand around him and picking him up.

Luvian once again got shivers down his spine 'why do I get goosebumps whenever he touches me..' he thought to himself as he rested his cheek against his shoulder.

He stared at Isaac who seemed deep in thoughts as he headed towards the bathroom then glanced at his shadow 'a little peek inside his thoughts is okay.'

-'..-mess him up , ruin him , planting my s-'

Luv blinked then grimaced at Isaac "Isaac , it's 7 in the morning."

Isaac stopped and looked at his master with a smile "indeed your highness , it's 7:16 in the morning, however it can be whatever you want."

—

After Luvian got ready he went to pick up his tiger , switching him to human form and dressing him up as well.

At the breakfast table sat Luv , Arthur , and xi.

Arthur was cutting Luvian's cinnamon waffle portion for him while saying "there's a village festival today." He said while glancing at Luvian's reaction.

The younger one's shoulders perked up as he stared at his elder brother.

"We are going." Arthur said bluntly and put back Luvian's plate to it's spot.

Luv happily but aloofly started eating well.

And so did Xi shoving pieces whole into his mouth with his fork.

Arthur pushed down The white strands of Xi's hair out of his mouth that almost got gobbled up too.

Luvian's eyes beamed while he watched them 'what was that.' He rested his chin on his hand grinning tightly from cheek to cheek.

Arthur did not seem fully aware about his actions, he looked at Luv "drink that whole cup of milk too."

—

"Brother wearing a mask will only make me look more suspicious and attract more eyes." Luv said blankly watching his elder brother constantly looking around for some stuff and not staying in one spot.

"A cloak is enough." He sighed leaning against xi.

"We are going to be late."

Arthur came to Luv with a thick string "what's that for ?" Luv tilted his head.

"So that you don't get lost , give me your hand." Replied Arthur.

"..."

"Do you want me to tie it around your neck?" Asked Luv with a dead serious expression.

Two of the butlers stayed and watched the palace and the rest including Isaac accompanied them to the village in a carriage.

It was surely a a long complicated and bumpy way , Xi took his master to his lap as luvian pulled out some cards.

"What do you think you're doing?" Arthur glared at xi.

"Playing a game Louis gave to me.." luv answered quietly and unbothered as he showed the cards to xi.

"I was asking why are you sitting on his lap- wait , who is Louis?!" Arthur raged as he clenched his fists.

"Your butler , hyung." Luv rubbed the area between Arthur's eyebrows "stop frowning-"

"-You'll get wrinkles." Xi said in his deep voice that didn't seem to fit his appearance.

Luv looked at xi with proud sparkling eyes

"Xi , how are you so smart." He nuzzled him.

Arthur held Luvian's hand sat him to his side and adjust his cloak.

At last they finally left the bumpy forest road and they got to a bridge that seemed to be the connection between the palace and the kingdom.

The youngest prince looked through the window with excitement in his eyes , he saw the high amount of security / guards surrounding the bridge , he also saw the blue sea , it was probably his first time to see a sea in this life.

Soon after they were inside.

It was more lively but oddly not so noisy as Luvian thought , he saw the children running and playing around , their mother's greeting each other , and saw the merchants displaying what they had to offer , countless shops , people playing music and others dancing, as they stopped by a nearby corner, Arthur helped Luvian step out of the carriage, Luv felt overwhelmed.

"Are you okay? Should we head back?" Asked Arthur in worry.

Luv shook his head immediately "I'm alright." He glanced at xi who was fidgeting around and struggling to stand in the small carriage.

He then held out his arms gesturing to xi that he's going to help him out , xi put his hands on Luvian's petite shoulders and stayed still , as Luv held the almost twice the size of him man up and out of the carriage , Letting him down on the stone ground.

"Stay close to me." Said Arthur as they continue their way inside.

Luv nodded obediently and followed his older brother , while xi and Isaac followed their master too.

Their first stop was at a clothing store , the owner bowed and welcome Arthur as soon as he saw him , Arthur whispered something to the owner and he nodded taking them upstairs and to a different room.

The clothing store was well filled with all kinds of clothes , different styles , sizes , colors , it smelled of hardwood and fabric which made sense.

Arthur sat down on the couch as Luv began to take a look at the displayed clothes.

The owner approached to Luv to take his measurements , which caused him to jerk and look at his direction, he was not used to strangers being this close to him "May I?" The middle aged owner asked politely with a business smile.

"YOU MAY NOT!" Arthur stood up, the silence after that was loud , he cleared his throat calculating the current situation "We will be more comfortable if a lady took his measurements."

The middle aged owner tilted his head and looked at Luv's face then at his body "Ooh , forgive me my lady!" He figured that luv was a woman which is why Arthur said what he said.

"I'll call for my daughter right way , she is very talented I bet you will be very satisfied with her services." He laughed and rushed upstairs.

Luvian gloomed and looked at his older brother with a death look.

Arthur was looking away on purpose.

After the owner's amber haired daughter arrived she politely asked to remove Luvian's cloak , with his permission of course , her mouth gaped as she saw Luvian face but she was quick to collect herself and act professional "my goodness has anyone told you that you look like an angel?"

'Yes I get that a lot actually.' Luv thought to himself.

She fixed her glasses "You body measurements are so pretty! its just like of a mannequin! Do you mind if you make some poses?"

"uh..yes , I do min-" luv said before getting pushed into the dressing room.

"Then it's decided!" The amber haired woman came back and fourth bringing a mountains of clothes every time.

Arthur sat there with his fingers interwind and his eyes that were looking through her soul the entire time.

Xi also obediently watched and waited for his master to come out , if he had his tail out he'd probably be wagging it right now.

Isaac stood behind the couch standing in a still position with his poker face , finding it amusing.

"Um..I think these clothes are a bit-" said Luv while sounding as if he was squirming , in the dressing room.

"Come out!" Said the amber haired woman enthusiastically.

Luv came out wearing a what looked like a normal white silk jumpsuit from the front.

The three men perked up all looking at his direction.

The amber haired woman clapped her hands "My god , so pretty!"

"But from the back.." luv slowly turned around revealing an exposed pale back.

The woman squealed before Arthur chocked on air and placed his hand in his throat.

Isaac wiped his nosebleed while keeping his poker face on , and the middle aged owner held a sign with ( 10 )written on it.

"We are getting it." Said Arthur aggressively chugging the glass of water that Isaac gave to him.

"Then next!~" the woman pushed Luv back into the dressing room.

They finally managed to leave the store barely after three hours , if it wasn't for Luv losing his temper they would've probably spent the entire day there.

"Please come back again!!~"

the other butler came back running after putting the first batch of clothes.

"Your highness, we might need to call for an other carriage."

Luv walked towards a group of kids playing with a couple of chicks and xi followed like a lost kitty.

'Food?' Xi looked at his master.

'Friend.' Said luv.

A little girl tucked on the side of his cloak, they squatted down besides them.

The little girl and the little boy whispered in sync

"Are you a prince.." "princess"

Luv nodded while looking at them and at the baby chicks.

His ears twitched when he heard a man advertising a show at a circus getting closer.

A hand was put on Luvian's shoulder "Excuse me."

The hand belonged to An unknown man with raven hair and sharp features, he seemed astonished before smirking as Luv looked up at him.

He handed him a circus ticket "I hear they are bringing in a rare black panther today , you seem to be interested in animals." He glanced at the chicks.

Luv looked at the man blankly before standing up and staring at the ticket.

Xi was on guard until his master told him to loosen up.

The man leaned his head over to Luv looking at his eyes closely "they say although panthers are completely black , their typical spotted marking is still visible, it's pretty rare to come across them so a lot of people are debating it , what do you think?"

Luv glanced over at his shadow before smiling softly and briefly "I think it's better to ask them , as they know themselves the best , no?" He quietly said.

Luv stared straight into his eyes "are your spotted markings visible? Theo."
