I sighed heavily as i was staring at princess amethyst, she was looking at me grinning while drinking her tea

"So i guess you really came huh"

"Yes"

"How's the book?" She pursed her lips to hide her laugh, i looked at her with knitted brow and drank my tea

"burnt"

She chuckled "oh come on dont be cold~"

"Of all books why did you picked that" i felt my cheeks flushed once again, i sip the tea to hide my tomato face but it failed

She laughed out loud until she cant anymore and i still remain silent. She cleared her throat and looked at me seriously

"Ok so you want to know how i know that you're like me right?" I nodded

"At first it was just like a typical reincarnation theme, i was strucked by truck kun and when i woke up i got reincarnated as a royalty, i thought it was only a dream but i already accepted it"

"..." i remained silent but looks at her as if i was waiting for her to continue

"After a few weeks, i realized i was in a game im addicted into and i was the future villainess, of course i dont like that so when i saw you and observed you it was like a mini hope for me 'cause i know you like his highness, zach" my eyes widened and was about to deny it when she shush-ed me

"Now, now listen to this pretty lady dont interrupt me. So anyways, at the game they didn't mentioned about siah which is you, they didn't mentioned anything about you and it hits me that what if you're like me so yes i made a mini investigation and observed carefully then i realized you're not part of this world back then"

I nodded slowly, the words she's saying is still processing on my mind

"I didn't got reincarnated, i was transmigrated. And about that, how did you knew i kinda like zach?" I asked hesitantly while i feel my ears getting warm

"Hmm? It's noticeable, the way you behave and look at his highness of course i would notice it"

My eyes widened and i opened my mouth slightly but no words came out

"Dont worry, they didn't realized yet they were too in a denial state" she continued while chuckling

I sighed and relief and thanks her

"Oh btw, about the rebels. At the game since im addicted to it i unlocked a secret route back then. The rebels aren't the real villains it was one of zach maids and you know who it is depending on her actions towards you"

I remained silent and nodded slowly

It was the maid earlier, melly. I keep noticing her threat glances towards me since i came back to the palace with axle, i wonder what i did for her to act like that

"You must be wondering why. Well she was consumed by jealousy... she's been in love with zach since she came to the palace but zach didn't even looked at her or noticed her even for a bit so when you came to palace and get his highness attention she was jealous plus the way you both act to each other like a couple, of course she'll be mad as hell"

I choked up on my tea and coughed continuously "we didn't acted like that!"

"Well..." she shrugged while a grin plastered on her face

It's been a few minutes since then and im already outside of the palace, i was about to go inside when i felt a gaze towards me intensely

I looked at her without turning my head and act like i didn't saw someone, it was melly with her usual glares towards me

I was walking on the hall way when i felt a presence behind me, i stiffened a bit and turned around cautiously then i saw axle carrying a teddy bear tightly while her face is reddened as if he just cried

He rushed towards me then silently cried, worries and bewilderment marks on my face. I leaned towards him and held his armpits as i carried him leisurely

He buried his face on my neck and hics silently a few times, i rubbed his back and continued to walk towards the study room

"Why are you crying?" I asked softly but he only shook his head and tightened his grip on my neck tho it was not that hard

I remained silent until we reached on the door of zach's study room, i knocked three times and heard him say to come in

We entered the room and i sat on the chair in front of zach while placing axle on my lap, deja vu?

Zach looked at us while raising his eyebrow and i only shrugged at him as a response

He sighed and stood up then went beside us, he squatted and i thought he'll pat axle's back but i felt his hands on the back of my knee and on my back then i felt i was being lifted

My eyes widened and i cant even utter a word, i pursed my lips and only looked at axle who is still burying his face on my chest

Zach sat down on his chair while carrying us, he placed me on his lap. I felt my cheeks burning again but i remained silent as i still cant process what is happening

His hand is still on my back as a support while his other hand is already holding the fountain pen i gave him on his birthday then continued his work

I cleared my throat after i calmed down "you can place me down, you're working"

He only looked at me for a few seconds and continues what he is writing

I pursed my lips and leaned on his chest and played axle's fingers

The room is quiet, only the pen from writing you can heard but i can also hear zach's heart and mine

It was a cliche moment but i felt really warm and comfortable on the inside
