"Cat voice?" Kimiko Wonder

Kimiko glanced around trying to find the source of this voice.

"Where's the cat?"

Kimiko looked around for the cat, she started walking towards the source of the voice.

"The sound is getting louder" Kimiko muttered

Kimiko began to approach the origin of the voice.

"Ahh met, it's true there are cats" said Kimiko

"But why is he on the tree? Can't he come down?" Kimiko Wonder

Kimiko began to approach the cat, seeing this cat continue to meow and frightened.

"How's this? This cat seems very frightened. I have to help him"

Princess Kimiko is currently on the 2nd floor balcony right next to the tree the cat was riding on, she tried to reach the cat with her hand.

"My hands are hard to reach"

Kimiko's right hand tried to reach the cat, while her left hand held a small fence in front of her to keep her from falling.

Kimiko continued to try to help the cat, even though she did not realize that her body was starting to lose balance.

"S-A little more I b-can reach it"

Kimiko continued to try to reach the cat, only a little more she managed to reach it.

Prince Yoshiaki was currently walking around the castle after the meeting with King Hosiko ended.

He was a little amazed because this palace greatly preserved the plants.

It looks very much a flower plant that grows with its lushness.

"They really take care of the beauty of nature" murmured Prince Yoshiaki.

Just as Prince Yoshiaki was enjoying the beauty of the flower plant, suddenly his gaze was fixed on somewhere.

"Daughter Kimiko?!" The Shocked Prince Yoshiaki

Prince Yoshiaki is shocked to discover that Princess Kimiko is doing something dangerous.

Prince Yoshiaki thoughtlessly ran straight towards Princess Kimiko

"DANGER!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING PRINCESS KIMIKO?! HURRY DOWN!" prince Yoshiaki exclaimed as he continued to run towards Princess Kimiko

Princess Kimiko herself was shocked when she heard Prince Yoshiaki's voice calling out to her.

He immediately turned his gaze towards Prince Yoshiaki.

He seemed to be running towards her.

"Prince Yoshiaki?!"

Due to his carelessness, Kimiko's left hand slipped so that his body lost its balance.

"Akhc!!"

Princess Kimiko is about to fall, but right before she actually falls. He jumped and grabbed the cat.

He hugged the Cat tightly then closed his eyes preparing to Fall.

"DAUGHTER KIMIKO!!"

Bruckkk!!!

Just before Princess Kimiko's body hit the ground, Prince Yoshiaki managed to catch Kimiko's body quickly.

Princess Kimiko opened her eyes and was surprised to see Prince Yoshiaki saving her.

"Prince Yoshiaki?!" Kimiko Shocked

"Stupid! What are you doing!? You were almost injured" cried Prince Yoshiaki

"Pardon me Prince Yoshiaki" Kimiko regretted

Prince Yoshiaki then sighed in relief that Kimiko's daughter was unharmed.

Prince Yoshiaki dropped Princess Kimiko off her carrier.

"I'm also sorry Princess Kimiko" Prince Yoshiaki replied

"Ehh? Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong" said Princess Kimiko

"I'm sorry, because I was so presumptuous to yell at you" Prince Yoshiaki replied

"It's not your fault, it's my fault. Don't apologize like this" said Princess Kimiko

"Well, Princess Kimiko are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine Prince Yoshiaki, thank you for coming to help me"

"What did you do?! It was very dangerous" Prince Yoshiaki said

"Sorry, I was just trying to help this cat. But out of guard, my hand slipped and I lost my balance" Princess Kimiko replied

"Cat?"

"This cat kept meowing from earlier, he must have been scared because he could not go down. So I tried to save her" said Princess Kimiko

"You're trying to save this cat, even if you're in danger yourself. You're really very kind and brave, I'm amazed at your courage. But next time don't make other people worry like this. You know, my heart felt like it was coming off when you almost fell down earlier" Prince Yoshiaki said

"Pardon me"

Princess Kimiko felt regretful, but deep down she was currently blushing because Prince Yoshiaki was so caring and worried about her.

Prince Yoshiaki's gaze was then fixed on one of Kimiko's hands.

"Your hand is wounded" Prince Yoshiaki said

Princess Kimiko herself did not realize that her hand was injured and shed a bit of blood.

"Ahh, you're right. But it's okay, this little cut I can handle myself"

"Don't underestimate a wound, don't take it lightly."

Prince Yoshiaki approaches and retrieves the Cat from Kimiko's Hugs, then pulls one of Kimiko's unharmed hands.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You've come along"

Kimiko continued to follow where Prince Yoshiaki was going.

Prince Yoshiaki pulls Kimiko's hand towards a garden, where fresh water is destroyed.

They stopped right next to the shower.

Prince Yoshiaki took down the cat he was carrying, then the cat ran away.

"What are you doing, Prince?" Ask Princess Kimiko

"Remove your wounded hand" Prince Yoshiaki said

"Ehh, this-"

"Remove your hand" Prince Yoshiaki cut off

"Good"

Princess Kimiko then extended her wounded hand towards Prince Yoshiaki.

Prince Yoshiaki caught Kimiko's hand gently and carefully. Then wash the wound with the shower water earlier.

"You know, if you don't clean your wounds right away. Then there will be an infection and it can harm yourself" Prince Yoshiaki said, still washing Princess Kimiko's wounds carefully.

Princess Kimiko simply fell silent, amazed at what Prince Yoshiaki was doing to her.

He blushed when he saw that Prince Yoshiaki cared so much for him, even just a small wound that Prince Yoshiaki was also worried.

After washing Princess Kimiko's hands, Prince Yoshiaki then wrapped the wound with a cloth.

"Let the wound heal on its own, try not to try to carry anything heavy with your hand, you understand?" Prince Yoshiaki

Princess Kimiko herself daydreamed while looking at Prince Yoshiaki.

"Daughter Kimiko?Princess Kimiko ?"

Prince Yoshiaki continues to name Princess Kimiko to resuscitate Princess Kimiko herself.

Not getting a response from Princess Kimiko, Prince Yoshiaki then waved his hand right in front of Princess Kimiko's face .

And successfully, Princess Kimiko finally regained consciousness from her daydream.

"You're daydreaming, huh?" Ask Prince Yoshiaki

"Ahh pardon me Prince" replied stuttering princess Kimiko

"What are you thinking?"

"Ehh.no nothing" panicked Princess Kimiko

Prince Yoshiaki himself even giggled amusedly at the response of Princess Kimiko.

"It's nothing" replied Prince Yoshiaki

"That's it"

"By the way, stop calling me Prince Yoshiaki^ just call me Yoshiaki^" Prince Yoshiaki said

"Ehh. but it's really disrespectful. How could I call you Prince" Princess Kimiko replied

"You know, I'd rather you call me Yoshiaki^ . It will make me feel closer to you. If you keep calling me Prince^I will feel that you and I are limited by status. I want to be friends with you Princess Kimiko"

"Are you sure this is okay" asked Princess Kimiko

"True, try now to call my name by that name"

"Well, Y-Yoshiaki" said Kimiko

"I like that, if we're together like this. Keep calling me that name. I would be very happy if you would do it" Prince Yoshiaki said

"Well, but you should also stop calling me that stiff. Just call me Kimiko."

"Alright Kimiko, greetings" Prince Yoshiaki said as he extended his hand.

Kimiko herself happily accepted the hand.

"Greetings to Yoshiaki" Kimiko replied

They throw smiles at each other.

Far away from them, there were 3 people watching their familiarity behind a window.

"It looks like they've started to get to know each other" said Queen Makoto

"It looks like Kimiko is almost getting the answers she needs. There will be no problem" said King Hosiko

"Kimiko, may you be happy always dear" said Queen Yuna

They smiled at the closeness between Princess Kimiko and Prince Yoshiaki

The Palace Dining Room

Currently the Mizumitakai royal family is having dinner together as usual, but for this time they are not alone.

Prince Yoshiaki and Queen Makoto also come along with them to enjoy dinner.

"Kimiko.." call Yoshiaki

"Hm.. What's wrong?" Ask Kimiko

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Ask Yoshiaki

"Yes, I have time"

"Hahh thank God, tomorrow do you want to accompany me for a walk around the capital?" Ask Yoshiaki

"Walk? Hm..Alright I'll accompany you tomorrow" Kimiko replied

"really? Thank you Kimiko" Yoshiaki replied

Queen Makoto, Queen Yuna and King Hosiko only smiled at the closeness between Yoshiaki and Kimiko.

Mornings

As said last night, Kimiko was currently getting ready to go accompany Prince Yoshiaki on the streets of the capital.

"Alright, I think my appearance is perfect" Kimiko said

Kimiko then went to the promised place.

He looks simple like the people in general, he wants to be able to enjoy the streets this time casually without a group of people who will approach him.

Kimiko has arrived at the place that has been promised, there is also Prince Yoshiaki who also looks simple like the people in general.

Princess Kimiko approaches Prince Yoshiaki

"Good morning Yoshiaki" said Kimiko

"Good morning too Kimiko" Yoshiaki replied

Although the appearance changes, but the charisma of a prince is still attached to it. His face also still looks handsome even though he does not wear the clothes of his people.

"Are you ready for Kimiko?" Ask Yoshiaki

"Hm. of course" Kimiko replied.

Kimiko and Yoshiaki started to step foot out of the castle and head towards the capital.

There the people started their activities.

Some are working in the garden and the field, and some are preparing their trade.

"Hahhhhh it's been a long time since I've been out of the palace like this" Kimiko exclaimed as she enjoyed the freshness of the scenery and the air in the morning.

"Are you in the castle every day? " ask Yoshiaki

"That's right, I'm always forbidden to go out of the castle alone. I will only be allowed out but there will be many soldiers escorting me and I hate it all. I couldn't relax" Kimiko said

"That's a troublesome thing, so you're staying put in the castle?" Ask Yoshiaki

"Not really, sometimes if I really want to get out. I was forced to sneak out of the castle, but later I will also end up with punishment" T_T Princess Kimiko replied

"So this time, you can relax as much as you can. Because this time I will protect you Kimiko myself" Yoshiaki said

Kimiko blushed with what Yoshiaki said, Yoshiaki herself will protect her this time.

"What's Kimiko? What did I say wrong?"

"Ehh no b-nothing. I'm just happy "

"Hmmm..??"

"L-forget over! Then let's have some fun with Yoshiaki" Kimiko said then without her noticing, her own hand pulling Yoshiaki's hand to go to the capital immediately.

While Yoshiaki he was also happy, finally Kimiko's daughter began to accept it.

He returned Kimiko's hand and ran where Kimiko pulled her.

Finally they arrived at the capital city, there was a very crowded population.

Many shops are open, and ready to serve shoppers.

"It's so many!" Kimiko

When looking at Kimiko's daughter, Yoshiaki can accidentally catch the happy and happy face that appears on Kimiko's face. He smiled widely which unintentionally made Prince Yoshiaki blush to look at his smile.

Kimiko herself consciously or unconsciously still hasn't let go of her grip on Yoshiaki.

Yoshiaki doesn't mind this, she is actually very happy to be this close to Princess Kimiko.

"Yoshiaki look! There's an Apple Pai store open there, let's go there!" Kimiko exclaimed with a smile

"Alright" Yoshiaki replied no less pleased

Kimiko pulled Yoshiaki's hand back to the Apple Pai tavern that Kimiko had appointed.

After arriving at the store, Kimiko immediately ordered her Apple Pies.

"My uncle ordered the apple pie" Kimiko said

"All right, miss, please wait a minute" the Pie seller replied

"Good uncle" Kimiko replied

"It looks like you're very happy" Yoshiaki said

"of course! You know, every time I go to the capital, I'm gonna buy apple pie. Because I love apple pie so much, it tastes really sweet" Kimiko pleased

"This is the order" said the seller

"Ahh thanks uncle, then this-"

"Here's the money, just take it back" Yoshiaki cut who suddenly put money to the seller

"Wait a minute, I can pay for it" Kimiko said

"No need to worry, I myself also want to treat you" Yoshiaki replied

"W-Is it really okay?" Ask Kimiko

"Right" Yoshiaki replied

" then thank you Yoshiaki" Kimiko replied with her sweet smile that was re-engraved on her face.

Yoshiaki also returned to smile when she saw Kimiko again carve her sweet smile.

For some reason whenever Kimiko smiled, her smile could always calm herself down. And he couldn't if he didn't smile to see it.

Kimiko and Yoshiaki return for a walk around the capital...

"It's really delicious!" Pleased Kimiko

"Thank God if you're happy" Yoshiaki replied

"It's really really very tasty and sweet, hey Yoshiaki try it. Let's open your mouth" Kimiko said as she leaned her Pai over to Yoshiaki

"N-no need, you just eat" Yoshiaki replied

Kimiko actually puffed her cheeks so that her face turned adorable and more sweet.

"Mu-ka mu-lutmu" Kimiko said with great emphasis

"Hahh good, Princess, as you wish"

Yoshiaki started to open her mouth and Kimiko fed her with Apple Pies earlier.
