**Even if the mother's reply was too short she still smiles softly grateful to hear that from the mother**

-mom can you at least thank my little sister more lively...we are like the same person please don't treat us differently.

Oh child no, you both are not the same person, you're greater than her, has a more brighter future.

—she's hopeless of a mother, I have to act like I'm manipulated by her words since I was supposed to I guess?...—

-really mommy?

Yes!

**And with that, she pinched his cheek being a lively mother to him but not his sister, his sister watched in jealousy but she kept those to herself.**

-mom I'm going to play with sis now, bye!

Oh-oh...yeah I forgot you'll play with me, let's go!

*She smiled happily*

-Should we play in the garden.

Yes sure! It's so beautiful there.

-then? Let's go, I'll lead the way.

**As then he leaded the way to the garden, on the way there he then accidentally bumps on someone making him fall.**

-A-ah...sorry

\=It's fine...

-no like really...

**Xiangxi got up helping the person he bump on to get up too, he saw that the person seems to be in the same age as him**

-hi...so uhm who are you?

**He Wondered since his father seems to have not said anything of someone going to their estate**

\= Oh uhm actually...my father is finding a suitable marriage for me...so we had to ask your father to give out the message to every royal...and compete for my love ...

-...no I mean who are you, not the reason why you're here...

\=Oh...pardon me,

**The person bows and introduced himself**

\= I'm Clein Crossward the firstborn of the Crossward family and the crown prince of the kingdom, nice to meet you.

**Clein looked to both his side like he's finding someone.**

**Xiangxi fails to see the prince's action and just bows in a sign of respect and also introduced himself**

-i'm Xiangxi Lounder the first born of the Lounder, nice to meet you your highness.

**Clein tend to look at Xiangxi then pointed at his sister**

\=Who's that?

—Wait isn't he a prince, doesn't that mean he's the second male lead?!?! Will this be love at first sight?!?!—

**Xiangxi smiled softly**

-that is my little sister, Xie Lounder.

—oh god oh god I can't wait for his reaction—

\=Oh okay.

—wait...no reaction at all?!?! Oh right... we're still kids ...haah...I'm just being delusional...—

\=So where were you guys heading to...c-can I join?

**Clein shyly asked**

-of course.

Yeah we don't mind.

\= I'm grateful.

-for what? It was just a mere thing to ask...it's not that deep...

\=Oh- right...

-the garden is close by let's go.

Yeah hehe!

**When in the garden three of them started walking around exploring the garden getting to see every kind of flower there Xiangxi got himself apart from Xie and clein to leave them alone to each other**

—huh... acting like a kid is so bothersome I could never think that something like this will happen to me—

**Xiangxi let's out a loud sigh while walking the opposite side of the garden cloe to the maze**

—a maze? Oh yeah I remember mother telling me that there is a maze here as a bed time story, I thought it wasn't real...she said theres a red spider Lily is within deep in the maze but when you got in the maze you can never get out...you know what? I want to be that kind of stupid kid, I'm going in the maze!!!!.—

**He got in the maze the most idiotic thing hell do.**

-huh...that's weird...when I got in the maze the entrance disappeared...???I'm scared...I'm alone here...

(?): hello...? Is someone there...i-i hear you?

—sh*t is this the supposed route for the female lead I'm so stupid!!!! I'm not supposed to be the one in trouble!!! oh my gosh I can't swear properly in my head! And is that kids voice too?...—

(?): hey? Hello I h-heard you! Please...can you communicate with me? Where are you? Do you know how can we escape? Or...are you just as clueless as I am?

—i don't know if what I'm doing will change anything for the female lead but I don't care, I don't want to die here all alone.—

-uhh... Hey! I'm xiangxi...I am just as clueless as you are...where are you exactly...it seems that we have to keep going and find an exit or we'll die here...

(?): d-die?!? Please I don't want that!!!

**Sobbed**

-how did you got here exactly.

(?): a-all I remember was that I am with my brother...then I lost him... P-please...I don't want to die...!

-youre fine calm down I'll try to find you...

(?): o-okay...I'll be waiting for you, do I try to find you too?

-No you'll be making my life harder if you kept moving.

(?): o-okay

-just wait there you're close or probably in the other side of the maze already...

(?): maze?

-what?

(?): what do you m-mean maze...?

-w-w-wait, you're, not in the maze?

(?):n-no...i'm in the middle of somewhere that is dark...I can't see anything...

-w-wait then if you're in somewhere dark then you must be locked in a room so...how can you hear me?

(?): i-i I don't know! please just find me

-...you said you try to find me earlier, if you're stuck in a room then how can you find me? Hum? Answer me!

(?):...hmph...not so easy to fool huh?

**"?" Got to xiangxi using his shadow self covering Xiangxi's mouth to not scream of shock.**

-mmhmp!

(?): oh please don't scream I was just joking that I wasn't stuck on the maze...I just make jokes in a serious time, so hey I'm Harold Crossward nice to meet ya...oh oof sorry for covering your mouth

—hmph this kid got some bad manners did he just say Crossward and wait?...how did he make himself a shadow...he already learned magic?—

-that was unnecessary...this is not the time to just do that! We are stuck on a maze!

\=For you, you're but I can just make myself a shadow and escape,

-then why are you still here?!?!

\=Because I wanted to see if someone is dumb enough like me to just step in somewhere so mysterious.

-well good job that you found me and all but can we just escape I don't want to stay here in decades!

\=Ok, ok just hold my hand and let's go.

-you don't have germs do you?

\=What no! So mean, just hold my hand! You know what.

**Harold held Xiangxi's hand himself and turned to his shadow form making Xiangxi the same since he is holding Harold's hand, the got out the long maze and Harold stopped squeezing Xiangxi's hand.**
