*BANG*

Diane's mouth was agape, no, not just her but the others who underestimated Nana, as well. She had just hit the 100th target. And all targets were pinned on the end wall. Some are overlapping with the others.

Nana after finishing, wiped a sweat on her forehead before returning to where she previously sat.

After another ten seconds the whole arena was enveloped in a thunderous applause. They have never seen such a display before. Even when they have their abilities they still fell short of hitting all the targets at level five.

"Th- THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. YOU MUST HAVE CHEATED!!"

When she finally reined in all her thoughts, Diane stood up, fuming in range, as she accused Nana, who only gave her a glance.

'How stupid, how can I cheat in such a condition? Did she forgot her brain somewhere?' she thought before waiting for the announcer to end the duel. She just wanted to return to the inn and rest.

It might have looked easy but her concentration was at its peak, so she was actually drained both in mind and body.

The announcer, at some point in time have actually gone down to where they were.

"We have a winner, a complete victory. With this the position beside the prince is set in sto-"

"WILL YOU STOP THAT!!"

Everyone was shock for it was not Diane who interrupted the announcer but it was actually Nana.

Even Ichiro and the others who were able to come down was shock by her.

"Set in stone, set in stone. Aren't you ashamed? Deciding who your next queen with what? A duel in this caliber? If your queen is good enough with just this but was actually weak with other aspects then how is she supposed to be the mother, without knowing what else to do?"

No one was speaking as they look at her fuming in rage. The winner who should have been happy was actually mad? She didn't want to stand beside Natsuki? Then why did she propose this?

"This duel is separate from choosing his queen. This duel is just a battle between the two of us, the one who loses will just disappear from his sight. Don't interchange them."

"And most of all, Natsuki should be the one who chooses his queen. The factors I said were just second to his decision."

"Enough with you. How can a lowly life like you join the discussion between royals? That's right this duel is just as you said. Surely you wouldn't think that you are much more qualified to be with the prince compared to my daughter?" the duke finally answered.

He couldn't accept this, his daughter was defeated by this nobody of a woman?

Nana sneers upon hearing his words, 'No matter what, despite sealing Juzo. Darkness will always lurk deep within us, human beings.'

She didn't say anything after her sneer, what she felt was disappointment over this kind of people. Upon waking up, she barely interacted with people because of the war.

And now that she had finally got the chance to see the society, what welcomed her was their bad side. Truly how disappointing.


'I pressume even our kingdom have this people as well.'

"You!! How dare you talk to a duke in such a way?"

'I didn't say anything stupid. Like father like daughter. I just sneered, *sigh* I just want to sleep.'

Maybe it's because of the fact that she was asleep for more than twenty years of her life where she couldn't interact with anyone other than her brother.

But after coming here where she really had no one to talk to, other than Natsuki and Suzuki who was also quite busy, she cannot freely speak with people where she only answered them in her mind.

Most of the time her answers were insult so it's a good thing.

Just as the Duke was about to reprimand her and just as Ichiro was about to stop him, feeling his nephew was about to explode an attendant arrived.

"Your highness, two carriages filled with gifts have arrived. And a letter have accompanied it."

The place became baffled, who would be sending such amount of gifts?

"Read it then," without much thought Ichiro commanded the attendant.

'To my dear friend, King Ichiro of Confederate Kingdom. I deeply apologize for whatever trouble my daughter might bring you. She left the kingdom two days ago and for she was in a hurry I could only send the gifts later. Please do watch over her, you know how childish she is. And to the prince, I am willing to give her hand to you if you would be able to stop her from moving around. Why is it that the daughters of my family, are the ones who loves going out. I have heard that Nana was even planning on roaming around before she settles. That is before she received the letter from princess Suzuki. Anyway I wish you are all in good health. Your friend, Akihiro of Aurora Kingdom.'

Nana was agape, she didn't expect her father to send gifts much more a letter. And what did he just wrote? He's willing to give her hand to Natsuki to make her stay put? But she was not even palnning on pushing through with her desicion.

Her father must have been distressed over that, Eureka is after all wondering about without anyone of them knowing if she was alright.

The people around her slowly looked towards her, the people who didn't know of who she is, as she was in deep thought. Those who knew her, wanted to laugh, the princesses of Aurora kingdom are indeed very unique.

Ichiro didn't expect that the letter came from Akihiro, so he just let the attendant to read it in public.

'Oh well, atleast I wouldn't have to do anything. No one can touch her now. Plus if she just said her identity in the first place then everything would have been much more peaceful,' he could only convince himself.

Diane was the most shock among them, followed by the duke. They had called this person a nobody. Someone who has no right to mingle with the royals. But she herself was a royal? Just what kind of joke was this?

Nana who returned to her senses, didn't thought much about the people looking at her. Instead she looked at Diane, "Anyway, since I already won, you have to get out of prince Natsuki's sight."

"*chuckles* I think no one would want to keep fighting with you now. Your identity itself have scared them off already. Plus I'll never have anybody else other than you," most people were once again shock to see their ice cold prince chuckle and speak in such a gentle way towards the opposite sex.

"That's right, my father just revealed my identity. Tse, where's the fun with that?"

'Princess please stop playing with the people's heart?' some have thought as they look at their companions.

Well since Diane hated intermingling with the commoners of the kingdom, she didn't notice how more and more people are finding out about Nana's identity.

Not everyone could be kept quiet after all, with their number.

The embarrassment and the thought that they had just went against a princess. What's more she was even blood related to the king of Archic Kingdom. The duke pulled Diane away and the other nobles who publicly supported them left.

"The event is over, we shall return as well," Ichiro finally said to the three children.

After settling down in the castle, tea and snacks were served. They were sitting in a sofa and opposite them was Suzuki, who was laughing for a while now.

"I really like the look on her face when she found out that she couldn't really hit the targets at all."

"Well she was over confident, abilities enhance you over all. So of course without it the enhancement would disappear as well. She didn't bother training and this is her outcome," Nana replied as she munch on some cookies.

"You were planning on roaming?" Natsuki, of course, did not forget the contents of the letter.

"Oh that, well I once had that plan. But I gave up on it. If I myself were to travel as well, then my parents would be so much worried only receiving a letter or two from me within a month. They already have more than enough regarding Eureka. I shall not add more to their problems."

She then grinned as she look at Natsuki, "But aren't you happy? You no longer have any obstacles. So shall we get married?"

"Hey, hey. Stop, stop, I am still here remember? Please don't go lovey dovey in front of me now," before Natsuki could reply, Suzuki already interrupted them.

"But surely you need to have an announcement after everything. It's time to really make it official," she then seriously said to Natsuki.

"I know, plus they have seen her capabilities in one side already. I have seen the others as well. She is more than ready to take up the role of crown princess," Natsuki replied.

"Aren't you excited..." her words slowly turned into a whisper.

Nana who was just speaking with them have actually fallen asleep. She was still holding a cookie and her head was bobbing. Natsuki smiled as he slowly took the cookie away before carrying her.

"She really is tired after all. That's what she looked like a while ago as well. When the duke was speaking with her. I'm amazed she was even able to stay awake all this time," Suzuki quietly said.

"But that is also one of the reasons why you love her don't you? Her stubborness."

Natsuki just smiled in response, her stubborness specially on that night back then will forever be engraved in his memories.
