Clueless Allynna

"Ally, I thought you were still sleeping..." Lizzy asked worriedly. "You're not usually late. Are you okay?

Lizzy was concerned because Allynna didn't wait for her as usual. She immediately walked to Allynna's house to check.

...

Allynna sighed before responding, "I spend my mornings in the kitchen. I thought making breakfast would be faster, but it turned out to be quite time-consuming as well. I'll never make breakfast again." She laughed while walking beside Lizzy.

Lizzy's eyes lit up when she heard about Allynna making breakfast. "What are you making this morning?"

"Just toast... it's not difficult. It's just that I got too detailed in making it. I also think it's because I watched TV news for too long. I don't know what got into me. I watched the morning news about the royal family and lost track of time," Allynna sighed deeply. She felt like she didn't know herself anymore. In the past, she disliked history, including the royal family, but her curiosity about them was growing.

"What! So, you're watching royal family news now?" Lizzy was surprised to hear that. "Wow! That's totally unlike you, Ally. Are you changing your habits? Do you like watching TV now? If you do, you have to tell me. We could watch my drama together..." Lizzy's voice trailed off when Ally pinched her cheek.

Lizzy was speechless.

Since childhood, Allynna had two things she didn't like. First, she wasn't interested in studying history, including royal family stuff. Second, she didn't enjoy watching TV. The only person who watched TV in her house was her father. Ally and her late mother didn't like watching TV.

"I know... Well, Liz, I feel like I've become a weird person. First, I started to like history lessons, and now I'm watching TV. What has happened to me?" Allynna asked. She smiled bitterly after looking at Lizzy, who could only answer her with puzzled-looking eyes. Her best friend seemed confused, too.

As they walked for a few minutes, Allynna spotted Helan standing on the side of the road. He seemed to be waiting for them.

"Helan? Are you waiting for us?" Allynna asked him.

"Morning, Ally, Liz," he smiled, "Yeah, it happens. The sky is so beautiful, and the weather is so warm; it makes me want to walk..."

Lizzy nearly tripped over her own feet when she heard Helan's cheesy words.

Allynna ignored Helan's strange words and began to talk to him about her plan to enter the Faculty of Technology.

"Helan, I'm interested in Royal Intelligence. So, I followed your suggestion to enter the Faculty of Technology..." Allynna glanced at Helan beside her.

Helan turned his face to look at her in surprise.

"What did I say? You are suitable to enter Royal Intelligence because you are also strong in Math and very fond of technology-related things." Helan nodded in agreement with Allynna's choice. "So, now you have fixed your admission to the Faculty of Technology, right?"

Allynna nodded.

"How about you, Helan?" Allynna asks him.

"I don't know! I still have my doubts." He presses his nape before continuing his words, "Well, there's still plenty of time to decide. I'm not in a rush. After all, if I enter the Army, I still have a chance to be admitted to Royal Intelligence even though the chance is small."

Helan then glanced at Lizzy, "Liz, you better join Ally admit to the Bell Royal University."

"Helan, can you stop interfering with my own choice? You are not my boyfriend. Why do you care?" Lizzy glared at Helan.

Lizzy was too lazy to think about her problem. Her brain was drained to think of ways to explain it to her father. The best plan she found right now is to register at the Art Faculty before telling her father.

Helan could only smile upon hearing Lizzy's words. 

"Liz, why are you so annoyed? You're right. I'm not your boyfriend—" Well, not yet, he thought. "—But you are my best friend. As a friend, I must remind you to think more carefully. Because, once you've admitted to art and regret it, you can't change your choice anymore."

Lizzy frowned at Helan before avoiding his gaze, ignoring him. She snuggled closer to Allynna and wrapped her arms around her shoulder. "Ally, let's go... we don't need to hang out with Helan. He's getting more and more like my father, too chatty. I can't stand him."

Allynna and Helan laughed at Lizzy's sulking like a child.

After walking silently, Allynna remembers the Royal Family news she watched this morning. She asked them if they had seen the Crown Prince in person.

Lizzy and Helan send a grievous look to Allynna.

How could this girl not know about the crown prince?

"Lady Allynna Clueless Frost... no one ever sees him. By no one, I mean outside of Royal Families and Royal Intelligence. Even in Royal Families, I guess only the Emperor and Empress ever see his true face." Lizzy answers Allynna's curiosity.

Lizzy is also curious about the appearance of the Crown Prince. Since childhood, she has been interested in him. Unfortunately, the photo of the crown prince circulating until now is only a photo of him as a child. Even then, the picture is blurry. So, no one could guess what his face looked like.

"Yes, Ally, even my father, who has been invited to the royal ball party several times, has never seen the prince—"

Allynna was interested even more.

"It turns out that what I read on the internet is true…?" Allynna said.

"Yes, Ally! Well, if you want to see the prince, you need to join 'Royal Intelligence' because the leader of that division is Prince Eleon."

Allynna was slightly stunned.

"Well, I am also interested in the Crown Prince. I wonder, is he handsome?" Lizzy said, her eyes beaming to imagine Prince Eleon.

"Well, for that, I can't say anything... I'm also clueless." Helan voice sounded shaking because he suddenly felt jealous when Lizzy took an interest in the crown prince.
