Moons pov
I wake up groggily from the last day, tired from all the activities and... Dealing with my overemotional mother... It was Great, probably the happiest ive ever felt. "I think i woke up late..." I say to myself, and a second later the maid knocks on my door "prince moon? Please wake up." She says her voice trembling with nervousness, trying very carefully not to upset me "im already up...you can go."
I get up from my bed, my golden eyes darkening after remembering that my father organized a huge celebratory party. Because well, of me coming back. And it was today. " I should dress up." I get up from the luxurious bed, my room smelling faintly of rose and a sweet pleasent smell i couldn't exactly tell.
I grab the fanciest suit i have in my closet, dressing up quickly but making sure to not to look unpleasant i reach for the door handle and step out, still trying to figure out the massive castle "this is way too big for anyone...i can barely know where im going before getting lost!" I say sarcastically, my tone smug as i walk over to the dining hall
"I should know my siblings better, i should catch their names." I knock on the door of the dining hall before coming in "sorry, bad habit.." i say awkwardly before sitting down and starting to eat after praying, the room smells with that same sweet pleasent aroma, makes me feel good for some reason.
"Don't worry son! Knock all you want i don't mind, but sun probably will..hes been acting werid ever since you arrived!" He says, his voice booming with that usual puffed chest of his

This guy, who the hell does he think he is?! Ive never seen dad so happy before, all he did before was be grumpy and strict, now he's all playful... Same with mom! "Greetings my brother, forgive me for not introducing myself earlier. I am sun, the oldest child and heir to the shado family" i say in a confident proud tone, trying to get under his skin. "This is my younger brother, Jupi." I look at jupi who waves at moon politely "and this is my precious sister saturn." I look at saturn as she nods her head, who was seemingly already staring at moon.

Why is he treating me like a guest, and did he just say heir and oldest?! This brat... "Its nice meeting you brother, but i think you're wrong with being the oldest and the heir, and also... Hello jupi and Saturn, nice to meet you two." I analyze sun's reaction to my words, and i notice that he grits his teeth in anger, hes definitely a spoiled brat.
As we eat, i can basically feel all the stares coming from my siblings, especially Saturn who is looking way too hard. And as we finally finish up our food i excuse myself to go to my room to ready myself for the incoming ballroom. "Excuse me, my father. I have to go ready myself for the upcoming celebration." I say in the most formal tone i can muster up before hurrying to my room
Shambles was the only way i could describe it "I NEVER LEARNED ROYAL ETIQUETTE!" I say in a despair filled tone, my voice cracking with fear "how will i even greet rhe guests!?" I try my best to stay calm and just let it happen, and sure did.
A few hours of grueling dooming waiting the guests finally arrive, and its all princess! "What am i supposed to do...." I think aloud, as my father comes down to greet the guests and i watch closely to the guests coming in... And its icon after icon!
The guests are... The sword saints eldest daughter, the spear lord's daughter, And so on and so forth...
"Im fucked." I say to myself, fear dawning on me knowing i know nothing in royale etiquette "dumb me shouldn't have ignored all those lessons whilst being a mercenary!"
I look at the sword saints daughter, beautiful and charming and i almost was caught staring, as i finally breathe in the lively atmosphere, i muster all the bravery in my body to step down.
My father suddenly appeares behind me and puts an arm over my shoulder "don't worry kids, your old man will help you out. And i saw you staring at the verdigo- i mean the sword saints daughter... So we're going to greet her first!" My father says, his tone smug and confident.
"Oh great, of course you'd want to embarrass me Infront of the one im interested in" i say sarcastically, but a hint of excitement creeps out as i look down to ready myself before raising my head up high. "Lets do this." My father says. As he walks me towards the sword saints daughter who was accompanied by her father
I nudge myself slightly, getting ready to run away at the slightest hint of embarrassment, as we walk towards them, she spots me. She blushes and looks away. My dad, being the all seeing creature, somehow notices and teases me "looks like someone is a pretty boy and a charmer huh?"
As we both approach the sword saints daughter and her father, she looks back at me with a faint smile. Shes known for her cold personality, so i was pretty surprised. And after that my dad finally pushes me forward and leaves me, leaving me alone to deal with her and her father "oh of fucking course you'd do this!" I yell out internally.
