I

A beautiful palace surrounded by different kinds of flowers. The cheerful family of the duke who lived there, which had a high status among the aristocracy.

But in this family there was a girl, the eldest daughter of the Sole family, who stood out for her cold beauty and amazing talents.She always felt superfluous in this happy family. No one paid attention to her unnecessarily and all she did was read her books in a beautiful flower garden. Among which she was alone.And this girl surrounded by flowers was called the Lonely Flower of the family and her name was Liliana la Sole.

She loved to run away from home to take a walk in the town. Since no one in the house noticed her absence.But one day of her walks, she met a boy, he was so handsome that having looked once you will not be able to take your eyes off him. She fell in love, fell in love with this boy she first met*.

-Please do not go far your highness - said one of the people standing next to him

-Alright-he said

For a long time Liliana could not take her eyes off him. And she did not notice how she followed them.Suddenly one of his bodyguards noticed that they were being followed.

But Liliana came to her senses in time and ran away

On the way back, Liliana saw one building whose doors were open. Outside the door she saw children her age, one of them who was beaten with a whip.

-If you know how to fight, you think you can run away?-said the man hitting her

-She will cost good money, she can be sold to marquis or dukes - said another

The girl was covered in blood but she made no sound

-Enough! - said Liliana with her proud and cold look - If you continue to beat her, I will call the guards

The men saw a ten-year-old girl in front of them

-What a ragamuffin! - said one of them - If you do not want to be in her place, then leave

Liliana raised her blue eyes and said

-If you don't let her go now, you will be left headless.

-What can a little girl like you do to me?-said man

The man raised his whip and wanted to hit Liliana. But another stopped him

-Wait!Looking at her blue eyes and hair the color of gold - I can say that she is the daughter of the Duke of La Sole - said he

-I want you to send this girl to the Duchy of Sole- said Liliana and left.

She took a few steps and stopped

-Don't you dare hit her again-she said, turning to them

The men were shocked how a ten-year-old girl could make them freeze in place and not be able to say something.Maybe it was because of her eyes or because of her descent - they could not understand

The next day, these people arrived in the duchy with a girl.But the servants did not let them inside, but only took the girl and gave money for her.

The servants accompany the girl to Liliana.

Liliana sat in the garden surrounded by flowers.The servants left the girl and left.

-What's your name? - asked Liliana

-Rihanna-said the girl with her head lowered to the ground.

-Who are you? And where is your family? - she asked - You do not look like an ordinary commoner's daughter

The girl did not know what to say to her. But she also understood that she could not deceive her.

-I am the daughter of Baron de Corte, after our family collapsed, I was the only one left. And then I fell into slavery to these people- was her answer.

Liliana walked over to her and lifted her chin. And looked into her eyes

-From today on, I will call you Ria and you will be my shield- said she

-From today you will be my shield- said Liliana with a look of confidence and hope in blue eyes

-But how do I do it?- said Ria without understanding Liliana's words

-You will understand when the time comes, I want you to be always with me and protect me. ... But it's too early now

Ria looked at Liliana with questioning eyes.

-How old are you? - asked Liliana-You look like my age, but still, I would like to clarify

-I am twelve years old..

-Do you want to learn how to fight well?-asked she-You will learn to fight and you will be able to take revenge on those who destroyed your family, in return you will always be with me..I only need one answer

-Yes! I want to learn fight well!- was her reply

-Anna!-said and called someone Liliana

-Yes malady! -saying, a girl dressed as a maid came up

Anna was Liliana's personal maid.Chosen by her mother before she died,although she was fifteen, she was reasonable and loyal to Liliana.Liliana gave orders to Anna, and she took Ria and left

-We'll meet again soon-said Liliana

After that, six years passed. When Liliana was twelve years old, she was engaged.

She was engaged to the prince she was in love with. Because of this, she immediately accepted the Royal Family's proposal for a wedding.

Liliana began taking special princess lessons and other lessons such as swordsmanship and archery. She was glad to leave this lonely house where she was ignored.

At the same time, the La Sole family adopted a girl from the orphanage who was thirteen years old.After a while, Liliana learned that the adopted girl is actually her half sister, born of another woman.

She began to notice her father's separate attitude towards this girl. He treated her with warmth and love, unlike Liliana.She did not pay attention to it, but still, deep in her soul she felt that resentment and pain. Asking questions:

-I'm his daughter too, why doesn't he treat me like that?

On the day of Liliana's sixteenth birthday, she had a dream. In this dream, she saw her future. She saw how unhappy she would become when she entered the palace. The prince who will not pay attention to her will soon take on a concubine. That will make her life difficult. Which in the end will lead to death.

After Liliana woke up, she first thought deeply about sleep. But in the end she decided it was a simple dream and forgot about it.

Anna came to her room to help her get ready for her birthday ball

-Miss, you are awake. We have a long day ahead of us preparing for the ball-said she

-It's not that interesting to me - she said

-His Highness the Prince will also attend the ball- was Anna's reply

-This is the reason why I will attend this ball - said Liliana - Is Ria here already?

-Yes, she's here. If you want I will call her to you

-Yes, i want to see her

After a while, someone knocked on the door. When the door opened, a girl entered the room. She was tall, with long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and knightly clothing, and with a sword at her side.

-It's been a long time - Liliana began

-Yes, your highness - said Ria - Six years have passed and I am grateful for everything

-Will you keep your promise to me?-asked Liliana

-Surely I will keep my promise- was Ria's reply

-Good

Evening came, the ball was already beginning.All the guests were busy talking among themselves. But when the names of the Prince and Princess were pronounced, everyone fell silent and greeted them

-His Highness Prince Andreas de Nicola and Her Highness Princess Liliana la Sole

Everyone was amazed at their beauty. Liliana's dress matched the color of her eyes and hair the color of gold that showed her beautiful, was so beautiful that it was impossible to take your eyes off.And the prince, with his unusually beautiful appearance, did not back down to Liliana.

They started the first dance. Everyone looked at them, then other men called the ladies to dance.

Only Liliana's sister who refused all gentlemen to dance while waiting for the prince's invitation to dance.

But she never got a chance to dance with him, because after their dance they made an announcement about the wedding, which will take place in a week.

The preparations to the wedding are started. Everything was planned perfectly for that day.

But is everybody was happy about it? Especially those who was about to get married? Liliana maybe always wanted an waited this day, but the Prince didn't felt the same.

The cold attitude of the Prince before wedding towards Liliana was noticeable. She saw it. And maybe new, that this all was against his will but she couldn't do anything. She just thought that she will try hard to make him like her and give her a part of his heart. That what she was hoping for.

-I wish , I will be happy and loved by person I love in back- that what Liliana was saying in her heart .

The wedding was smoothly completed. Liliana was glad that she will rarely see her fathers cold face and the affection he was giving to her sister. She felt free from what she experienced to this day.

Palace. She come to her new room. The room was so grand and well decorated that she felt too pressured.

-I will help you to chance your clothes- said Anna. She helped her to take off her huge beautiful dress into light nightgown

-Thank you Anna-said Liliana

- His Highness may come soon , so please rest for now Princess - said Anna after finishing to brush Liliana's hair

- Huh?!...Ah...Yes...- said she . Liliana remembered that this is first room sharing day...so called "wedding night"- Right, the first...but I think something like this won't happen- mumbled Liliana.

- Did you said something?-Anna

-No, you may leave now- Liliana

-Yes- Anna

Everything happened as Liliana thought. That was already midnight but no one ever come.

- As I thought, he is already shows me cold shoulder. What did I even expect?!But I won't give up on you so easily. Just you wait Prince Andreas!

The next day Liliana was having her breakfast alone. The Prince didn't show up again. And maids was gossiping by whispering about last night and the relationship between Prince and Princess

- I can hear everything from here- was thinking Liliana- or they are think that I'm deaf or ghost?

- Enough! Don't you have shame?!- yelled Anna to maids

Ria was next to Liliana and she was about to scare maids with her sword

- No need- said Liliana- That doesn't mean anything to me . But I can order you any time to rip of their toungue - said Liliana with scary and annoyed look in her face

- W...We...are ...s-sorry Y-your Highness. We won't do it again- said one of the maids

-I hope so- Liliana -or I will be the one who will personally give a punishments to you!

The maids left the dinning hall

- Your Highness- said Ria

- I'm ok- Liliana- Let's go for a walk

They came to the Royal garden. There were a lot of different and pretty flowers. Liliana was walking and looking at them but her full attention was on roses. They were really beautiful to look at but it's has thorns so you can't touch it with a bare hands

-Such a beautiful flowers, but it's beauty can't make everyone like it- said Liliana and went forward

Liliana suddenly saw that Prince was passing

- Greeting Your Highness- Liliana

Anna and Ria also greeted him

- Greeting Princess- Prince Andreas

-How have you been?- Liliana

- I've been well , thanks for your care- Andreas

- If you not in hurry ,can we have a tea together?- Liliana

- Huh?! - the Prince wasn't interested but he couldn't refuse her because that was their first meeting after the wedding- Sure -said he

- Anna, prepare everything -Liliana

- Yes Princess- Anna

After a while they were sitting together by having a tea. There was dead silence between them

Liliana was embrassed that she couldn't start a conversation

- Your Highness! -Liliana

-Princess! - Prince Andreas

They called each other at the same time

- You first- Prince

- No ,please you first-Liliana

Andreas looked at Liliana

- Well, I just wanted to ask if Your Highness and I can meet each other everyday like this- Liliana

- Well...actually...Princess, we got married not from our free will...And I think it will be better for us just meet each other and don't expect anything else- Prince Andreas
