Lucy was playing at the back garden of the grand minister's castle . she was so happy and excited when she saw the irises blooming beautifully, after all she planted them with Louis ,her older brother ,and she thought of taking a bouquet of irises to her sick nanny ,cause she liked her too much and thought of her as a member of the family ,and while she was busy collecting the flowers , one of her maids came running for her while saying'''young miss,young miss !!!! his highness the second price is here to see you!!!"' and now lucy was looking at her blankly while saying "who ?" the maid said ''' his highness,the second prince ,is here!!!''' (note :when the ml,or fl talks it will be " ", but when normal characters talk it will be ''' ''' or "" "" ) " why?" "'to see you, your highness!!!"' "what?" lucy looked up blinking,she was clearly confused ,and as if to interrupt their little chit-chat ,the guards bowed while saying""announcing his highness,the second price!!!"" and then lucy saw two tall men dressed like royal guards and as they bowed to her while saying "''greetings,your highness"" ,she saw a beautiful and cute black-haired boy with a touch of light blue in it. he was about 8 years old ,he had beautiful and mesmerizing blue eyes that looked just like two shining sapphires ,he had a petit nose and thin lips,he really was just the definition of beauty,his white little hand was on his chest as he bowed in front of her as he said " good morning,your highness.my name is florin fildora ,second prince of stein ,i am 9 years old,what about you?😊" he looked at her with a very soothing gaze and a beautiful smile that made her heart beat faster. she thought that he was trying to ease her mind and calm her down a little ,so she lifted her skirt,curtsied,and said "good morning to you too ,your highness.my name is Lucy Lockwood ,second daughter of the general minister. I am 5 years old"she also said that with a smile ,and made him blush a little and he turned his head down to hide his cherry colored cheeks ,but that didn't help because Lucy had already saw them

florin's p.o.v

my father told me that it will help me if I can have a good relationship with the grand minister ,so I went there to visit and make friends with his daughter, but before going I needed to do my researches on her ,they said she was shy ,cute and lovely. I simply didn't believe that ,because it might be false rumors ,but after seeing her face to face made me sure that she really cute and lovely,I don't know why but I felt tight in the chest ,to be specific ,at my heart ,she was really cute ,and I want to be friends with her ,not because of social benefits,but because I want to be her friend .

hello everyone !!! I decided to write a new story and of course,my other 2 friends are helping me ,but because we have a tough time organizing our schedule ,we will be taking shifts ,so we would exchange phones to write and do on ,but still ,we hope you would like what we are about to write ,we purple you!!!

After our heroes met each other ,they started to play together ,sometimes lucy would be shy ,other times she would be excited and at other times she would simply put ,be a big brat .

but, florin didn't mind nonetheless. he would also be a bit gentle ,as she is a kid to him ,other times he'd go all out and laugh while looking at her covered in dust after falling after trying to climb a big tree ,or following a bee unconscious to what's around her until she stumbles and fall face first to the ground, but he stopped laughing when he saw her trying to stand up but her face was twisting with pain ,he immediately knew that she hurt herself ,so he hastly stood up to help her ,then he knelt in front of her,he saw that her amethyst eyes were shining with tears but.... she just didn't cry and suppressed them ,he truly was confused by that ,why would a kid -who just fell and got hurt- suppress her tears and not cry ?

so confused by that ,he raised her chin to face him and asked her in a coaxing tone "what's wrong,lulu? are you hurt ? tell me ,and I promise I won't laugh at you anymore"

After hearing those few words from the young prince ,she looked at his sapphire eyes and her eyes shined even more ,until, finally ,ther was a salty water droplet on the young girl's white cheek ,one drop fell after the other until she couldn't stop crying or prevent her transparent jewels from falling from her cute amethyst like eyes , florin was just too shocked to even react ,what should he do ,when he sees a beautiful kid crying in front of him? ,well ,strictly speaking,he also is a kid ,but he didn't have to think twice when he saw her trying to cover her eyes while saying "I-I a-am s-so sorry ,your h-highnesss , I shouldn't h-have cried ,this won't h-happen again ..." at that moment,without thinking about anything,he took her in his arms and started caressing her silk-like silver hair ,which also had a touch of her eyes color ,amethyst-like locks were now being carefully caressed by the 9 year old prince ,he held her tight in his arms ,soothing her gently while whispering in his husky but cute voice "who told you to apologize or even think that I might get angry at you ? you are a child ,and it's normal to cry when you're hurt ,so no one could scold you for that ,not even the emperor !" when he finished talking ,he lifted her chin gently to meet her beautiful amethysts with his shining sapphires and continued with the same tone ,which became a little bit cold at the end "now tell me ,my cute lulu ,who told you to not cry when you get hurt ? I promise to teach him how to not cry when being hurt." after finishing,lucy replied to his question with a cracked and hurt tone from crying "I k-know that it's absolutely i-impolite to cry or show w-weakness in front of anyone , especially in front of r-royal family members....my history tutor a-always told m-me that I w-will be tortured for that ,o-or even worse ,I-I won't be given any s-sweets !!" her voice was laced with fear at the end of her sentence that florin had a lot of mixed feelings at the time ,he felt pity for this little one that got scolded and even threatened that she won't get her favorite thing -as she told him while chatting together- if she did something normal like all the kids her age ,which is not being given sweets!!! and the other emotion is anger and furiousness ,is that even human ?! who does that to kids ?! why would that history tutor do that to a kid, and not any kid at that,the grand minister's little kid. Florin looked at the little kitten in his arms who was struggling to stop crying ,his eyes turned soft again and told lucy in a cute voice "don't worry anymore ,lulu ,no one will hurt you or take your sweets again ,so ,if you want to cry ,I want you to not cry in front of people ,not because you will get scolded ,but because lulu is a strong little princess ,that no one deserves to see her weak ,but you can cry all you want in front of me ,I will protect you,always and forever ,and you can always come to me whenever you are hurt or sad ,okay ? " she looked up at him with her cute ,teary eyes and said "so you won't hate me if I come to you when I wanna cry ,big brother ?" "no ,dear ,I won't ,on the contrary ,I want you to cry ,only in front of me ,okay ,baby?" "big brother !! I am not a baby ,I am a big girl !!! I can even climb that tree ,see ?" she said while pouting ,and going to a tree to climb it "oh ,but won't you fall down again ? you're still hurt,after all" he replied ,concert lacing his voice "nah ,am fine ,look!! I won!!" she ressured him ,then shouted in excitement after successfully climbing it this time "oh ,I am starting to wonder ,are you the grand minister's daughter ,or a big monkey ?" he asked in amusement "come on ,flor! don't tease me and come on up here ,the view is awesome !" "...okay then " he paused for a moment ,stunned by that cute nickname,no one has ever dared to call him by nicknames because of his status ,he'd be either called "'your highness'" or "'the second prince'" or "' little florin!'" by his father and mother ,the emperor and the empress,so he was a little shocked ,but at the same time happy ,then ,he climbed the tree and sat next to lucy and said "wow,you were right ! the view is amazing ..." "I know ,right ? but don't tell anyone ,I will get scolded if they know I'm climbing trees ,after all ,I am supposed to learn to act like a noble lady " she said proudly,but whispered at the end while lifting her little finger for a pinky promise "okay ,I promise ,this will be our little hideout forever " replied the prince,while holding his little finger with hers to complete the promise ,she then smiled happily at him and gently put her petite head on his shoulder while staring at the scenery in front of her ,the the prince followed suit while planning a lot of funny things that will help the history tutor's imagination to frighten the kids,but this time ,for real and not only rumors .
