[Make someone Jealous]

"Tia, am I not the only Princess of Lith?"​​

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Am I not the most incredible and smart little girl in the whole Kingdom?

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then, many should be jealous of me, right?" Anne pondered for a while but couldn't understand the mission of the fluffy Mellie.

What did he mean by [Make someone jealous]? She already spread the Kingdom with jealousy, she is the queen of the 'I can make anyone jealous of me without lifting a finger.'

The mission should be completed by now, right?

Whenever a mission was completed successfully, she would get a message in a chocolate cookie. It was kind of difficult to understand how Mellie gave Tia these cookies with messages hidden inside. Even if Anne tried to spy on Tia every time the mission was completed, the cookies seemed to appear magically in her hands when she wasn't looking.

"Tia?"

"Mmm?"

"Is there a cookie for me?"

Tia's ears were quite surprised. The Princess always asked for cakes, tea, fruit tarts but never cookies. She seemed to have the thought that a cookie is a never-ending addiction as they were so small to completely alleviate the dėsɨrė for sweetness with just one. It will be a terrible mistake if she started eating one and she couldn't stop eating then.

"Mmm… I… I will ask the chefs to prepare ones for you, Your Highness."

Anne looked at Tia's hands and they were empty.

"No, nevermind then… Who should be the one to get jealous. This is difficult."

"What is it, Princess?"

"Tia, I want to make someone jealous of me, who shall be?"

"This…" Tia was again flabbergasted by the young Princess crazy ideas, why couldn't she have some ordinary princess to serve, one that likes to play with dolls and teddy bears at the age of six? "Sigh… I… I don't know Miss."

"I have an idea, my bride."

Anne looked at the little boy with bright green eyes, appearing behind the gates of the garden, and smiled in happiness.

"My darling!"

From the day the King announced Henry's engagement, she decided to help the little boy. She didn't want him to be sent to a marriage with a foreign Princess. It would be awful to lose such a caring servant and a loyal ally for the future. So, she decided to pose as his fiancé for now and think later about how to ditch the marriage.

"My bride, I know a way to make people jealous, won't you come to a date with me?"

"Are you sure? Won't they be jealous of you instead?"

"Yes, you are right, but it won't be a waste to try, don't you think? It will be fun." The little Henry smiled sweetly, he knew that she could never resist it and gave in to his wishes every time.

"Okay, darling." She took his hand and the two little children went out of the garden hand in hand. They looked so cute that the servants and maids couldn't resist smiling when they saw them walking over the palace.

The feeling was so different from jealousy. It was more like a warm feeling and soft giggling capturing everyone's face.

"What did you say?"

"Princess Anne is on a date with Henry Mills. They are pacing around the Palace holding hands, aren't they cute?."

The King almost spat his tea and the Queen giggled at the sight. They were watching the little kids walking on the gardens while they were drinking tea on the balcony with some Ministers.

Anne was sending sweet smiles at Henry and he was giving her a sincere and shy face.

Julian, the King, never thought that such flirtatious sight would enter his eyes from his young nice. The little kid should be repudiating the marriage, or more like acting like a little indifferent and a crazy evildoer, not like a shy maiden.

He had never walked with her around the gardens, and she had never sent him such a happy smile.

"This is scandalous!"

He was about to walk over to them but the Queen stopped him.

"Darling, where are you going?"

"To stop that little… that little player enticing our innocent Princess!"

"…"

The Queen had to show him her beautiful but a bit fierce eyes to stop him from moving.

"I… but…"

"Weren't you the one that decreed the engagement?"

"Yes, but…"

"Then, let's them have some fun, they are kids, they won't go any furth… er"

She said that but Anne had already proclaimed the cheek of Henry again with her lips as her property.

The King was about to have a heart attack.

"Are you sure this will work? How can someone be jealous of me with this?"

"This… I think if we keep trying someone will fell."

The shy little boy was looking around sending warning gazes to the other's son of the Ministers. Their gazes were now lowered in resignation.

"Are you sure?"

"Maybe another ki… kiss."

Anne fluttered her long lashes and thought for a minute, she was about to give him another kiss when Tia tapped her shoulder.

"Miss, this is your cookie."

"What?"

"Your cookie."

"Excellent! But, who was the one?"

Anne looked around but couldn't distinguish the stare of anyone.

However, there was someone, she didn't notice a minute before, but the stare of that someone was filled with bad thoughts and jealousy. The same feelings of someone with a long time resentment.

Anne wanted to know that person as they were the most dangerous ones, the ones she should dig out before it is too late. She had experienced that hatred once and now she couldn't lose to it, not again. Those feelings could provoke many casualties without care for anyone nor anything just to prove their superiority. Jealousy can corrupt someone's heart and there was almost no cure for that disease.

"Goodness, why I must be so great... even Mellie likes to give me cookies without doing nothing."
