It was morning, and the day of the Grand Festival in Lee Kingdom, Moon Jae and Suho wake up early. They're in the temple,

they kneed down, and Suho offered the gods. They brought, and Moon Jae put a candle and started to worship.

"Please, ohh... gave me luck today, and many money, so we could not starve and the children in the orphanage will find their family." Said Moon Jae  in mind.

Meanwhile, Suho prayed with his heart. " Please.... make Moon stop by stealing money and please give her a Romeo, and also me pleaseee.... gave me the woman in my dreams, " said Suho in mind.

They're walking to their house to eat lunch, "what did you wished to god Moon?" Asked Suho

"Well.... I wished that I will grab many money today and the orphanage where we used to be lived, the children living their will have a family, and not be like us living in the streets, we've waiting for the family we wanted but didn't come" replied Moon Jae

"How about you, Suho?"  Suho giggled and replied, "I wished that you would find your Romeo and me too sooner. I will find my Juliet."

Moon Jae laughed and jokingly pounch Suho. "What are you saying? Still, we can't control the fate, but I will never gonna marry him,"

"What are you saying? I can take care of myself, " said Suho."Take care of yourself? You didn't know how to get money, not because of me, we will be starve...shessshhh.." said Moon Jae.

Then they arrived at the market, they're so astonished by the floats, the decoration and it was also crowded. Moon Jae  smiled and rubbed her hands for another opportunity.

She left without a word. "Isn't it beautiful, Moon?" he looked at her and surprised that she was gone. He then understood why she had left, and then he started to look for her.

Moon got far from Suho sight, she goes to a stall that stole hats, without the vendor noticed she grab the hat even the customers haven't notice her grabing a hat and left.

She wore the hat. It had a white  long veil back and front good for her to wear, so no one could even know it was her,

She found a victim, she came closer to him,

her victim didn't even notice her. She gently snuck her hand in his pockets, and then his victim noticed that something was moving.

He immediately grab her hand, Moon Jae got suprise and started to be  nervous, the man didn't saw her face only a white veil, Moon Jae who knows how to fight, she twisted her hand so the man could let go.

She ran but the man chased her and he grabbed her hat, Moon jae  who got nervous about getting caught, she grabbed the hat but unfortunely,

Her face is now  revealed, and they both grab the end of the hat. She got mesmerised on how handsome the man was.

The man she was referring to was the prince of Lee Kingdom Jiho. Jiho looked at her with furious eyes and said, "Bring back my money."

Moon jae smirked and brought  out the pouch of money and said, "This? Soryy, but I'm not going to do that. " she let go and run.

Ji ho  still holding the hat, he got angry and chased her,

many minutes later,

Ji ho finally caught her, but because of  crowded, he accidentally let go of her hand, Moon jae  then ran.

She didn't notice that she got entered in the Kim palace, then someone called her

"What are you doing here? You have worked. Bring it to the room of the princess,"

Then the maid gave her a dress that she would bring to the princess' room and left. "I was mistaken as a maid," said Moon jae  in mind and laughed, and she went inside,

she was trouble looking for the princess room, then the princess maid saw her and called her "are you looking for the princess room, maybe you're new here, don't worry I will take you there."

The princess maid took Moon jae  to the princess room and  said, "Here it's her room, I will see you later," and left. Moon jae  went inside, and then she was astonished on how the room of the princess is huge and organized.

She then caught attention to a necklace that has a violet pendant, she put the clothes on the bed and goes to necklace, she hold it and said "it's beautiful, and I want it" she looked at outside the door just incase if there's someone,

so she would not be caught stealing in the palace, then she went to the necklace and left the room pretending nothing had happened.

Suho came back to his mate Seo jun, " So? did you bring back your money?" Asked Seo jun. "Nope, I got lose sight of her," replied Jiho.

Seo jun  pat his shoulders and said, "Don't worry about it. Hopefully, my pouch didn't stolen." he then touched his pocket  and shocked it was gone. Jiho sighs at him  "also stolen! Let's just come back to the palace of the princess," said Jiho.

Seo jun open mouthed about his stolen money, then Jiho grabbed his clothes and left.

Suho was still kept on looking for Moon jae  till he arrived  at the Great Lake,

Chung ja  was also there, at the great 5 the people rowing their boats and spending time by herself. She was about to leave, and she stood up and accidentally tilted her foot,

she was about to fall into the water, luckily a man grabbed her hand, Chung ja  looked at the man and fell at first sight,

the man smiled at her, then as he was pulling Chung ja , Chung ja  accidentally sliped, and they both fell into the river.

Chung ja  who doesn't know how to swim and almost drowns, hopefully the man lift her up and went to shore,

Chung ja looked at the man while her heart was beating like a clock ticking, then the man brought her down,

"Thank you for helping me" said Chung ja , "no worries is fine, you're soaking wet," said the man, "It's okay I will go home, after I know your name," said Chung ja ,

she then show her hand and said "I'm Chung"  "but wait I don't want to recognise me that I'm the princess" said Chung ja in mind, "I'm Sung Nabi" the man took her hand for a handshake and introduce,

"I'm Lim Suho"  Chung ja looked at him "nice to meet you Su ho "  she didn't notice that she haven't let go of Suho's hands, Suho giggle and said "you can let go now," Chung ja  looked at their hands still holding,

she immediately let go of his hand, Suho  said goodbye to her, but he stopped when Chung ja called her. He turned around,

"Auhhh.... nothing sorry, Suho , but when will I see you again?" said Chung ja  shy, Suho  replied,"maybe just around the kingdom,"

Chung ja  nodded, and Suho smiled and said, "You should go home. You're soaking wet. You might get sick." Chung ja nodded, and Suho wanted to leave her at the great lake, but he can't  cause he knows she got soaking wet,

he came closer to her and said, "Can you wait? I have to buy you something, maybe clothes as you're soaking wet. "

Chung ja looked at him and nodded, and Suho left to buy some clothes for her.

Meanwhile at the Kim palace, Ji ho was there sitting and waiting for the hours for Chung ja to arrive, the maid of the princess came to him and served some tea, Ji ho took a tea and drank, "are we gonna wait for her for another hour?" said Seo jun

"I look at the sky and noticed, the sun is coming down, I don't know if I can wait longer, it will night soon, but at the same time, I'm curious to my future wife, Let's wait for another hour." replied Ji ho.

Su ho came back at the great lake carrying new clothes for Chung ja, she was waiting for Su ho by the river, she sat down by the stairs and turned around when someone called her

"Nabi, I'm here,sorry" said Su ho while catching his breath, then Chung ja stood up and goes to him, Su ho gave her the clothes, "Thanks, Su ho," said Chung ja smiling, they looked at each other's eyes 

"Is this my Juliet, I've been wishing," said Su ho in mind.

Seo jun started to feel sleppy and Ji ho is full of drinking tea and eating bread that the maid kept on serving, the maid again came to them to serve food but Ji ho can't take it anymore, he was full so he rejected the food.

"Seo jun, let's leave it's already night, I see moon and stars right now. We should leave. We've been waiting for hours for her,"  said Jiho.

Ji ho stood up and Seo jun strecht a bit and followed him,

The maid was with Myeong going to Ji ho. "Is he still waiting? Where's Chung Ja? " said Myeong."I don't know your highness, I was going to her room, but I came in. She's gone. " replid the maid,

they arrive at the room, where the Ji ho was waiting for Chung ja, Myeong shouted of suprise when she saw Ji ho wasn't there,

"Where is Ji ho, I thought you said he's here," angrily said Myeong "your Highness, he's here, I swear, I kept on serving him tea and bread" said the maid.

Then the maid spoted someone in wet clothes and surprised me to see from afar that Chung ja "Your Highness" exclaimed the maid and ran to her,

The other maid of the princess is also running to her carrying a towel for the princess, then the other maid took her brought clothes, then they went inside, Myeong shock seeing her niece soaking wet and she started to irrated and said "where are you been, and why are you soakibg wet?"

"Well, I went to the great lake to spend my time being alone, and I accidentally slipped and fell into the river," replied Chung ja.

Myeong sighed and said, "You should not leave the palace without my permission, and hopefully, you didn't drown."

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I will do it next time, I have learned my lesson," said Chung ja,

"Please, Chung, ja change your clothes. You're wet. You might catch a cold, maids, please assist her," said Myeong,

the maid both nodded and sent Chung ja to their room,

Chung ja was facing the mirror mesmering her beauty, and then the maid showed her a dress that she could wear, "Princess, which you want to wear," said the maid.

"Ummm... I don't want to wear clothes, " replied Chung ja, then the other maid was surprise to Chung Ja's response and said

"Princess, are you crazy? You should not show your dignity to them?" Chung ja looked at her and replied "What are you talking about, I meant was I don't want to wear any of my clothes, I want to wear I the clothes that I brought, I don't say I that I don't wear clothes, I'm a princess."

"Is this you meant, princess?" said the

maid, then Chung ja smiled and replied, "Yes, that's it."

Many minutes later,

Chung ja was fully dressed, she looked the mirror and she spin because of happiness,

"Princess, it's beautiful," said the maid, smiling at her. "Did you really bring it, princess?" said the other maid

Chung ja looked at them and replied "ofcourse, who else be?, but I think something," she flick her finger and said "Jewellery, I need jewellery."

"Princess what jewelry do you want?." She looked each of the jewelry but nothing she seems interested, " I want the necklace that has a violet pendant" said Chung "but princess there's no necklace that has a violet pendant."

Chung ja confused and said, "huh?, I'm sure I have my mother gave that before she dies."I know, but Princess, we didn't see in your box of jewellery," said the maid.

At the floating house, Moon jae came home and happily entered the house and said, "Hey... Su ho look what I brought"
