Chapter 3

VIVIAN

I stared at myself in the mirror, not believing my earlier with... I didn't even ask him his name?! OMG, how silly of me! I was so captivated by his beauty that I didn't even ask him his name, I must ask him the next time We meet. That is if I didn't scare him away because of how we met, my goodness. I hope I didn't because I want to get to know him and make him mine. Make him mine! What am I thinking? We barely know each other, don't get over yourself, Vivian, you have only met him officially once.

The door opened slowly Claire came in, and she bowed." Pardon me for the disturbing princess but His Majesty the King asked for an audience", I nodded at her and asked her to lead the way. Once we arrived at the door she bowed again and excused herself, I took a deep breath before opening the door and then bowing to my father." Good afternoon father, I hope you have had a lovely day", I looked back up at him. He gestured for me to take a seat right in front of him, and so I did." The Duke of Darmeklis family has asked for the Princess's attendance at his daughter's Tea party", I grumbled under my breath as to why I must attend Anastasia's tea party and to why is my father the one to deliver this message to me.

Anastasia and I have never been on good terms since we were kids and I don't why, but she has always hated me. I always wanted to know why but never got an answer, for me to get an invitation from her family must mean that this might be a publicity stunt for society to clear the current rumor between the royal family and the second most powerful dukedom in the kingdom. The royal family and the Dameklis began their relationship through trade, the Dameklis were popular for their gold and diamonds so through that they became close to the royal family and gained a very high rank in society." Yes, Father I will attend the tea party".

" The event will be held in two weeks so go with a maid and guards to select new jewelry and dress for the event ", I nodded and stood up preparing to live seeing that my father had told me all he wanted to say to me.

AARON

Vivian, that name is all I've thought about since I arrived at the cottage, she seemed to be a noble by the way she carried herself and spoke, but that can be confirmed later. I wondered if she was naive or something to confess to a stranger she had not met properly but how did she get into the forest, that forest is the border between the Azer kingdom and the kingdom of Hortense. It is very difficult to get through to the forest, but somehow she can get there, is she a citizen of Azer or Hortense? I must get to know more information, so I will entertain some more, for all I know is the enemy, so I must tread carefully.

I chuckled remembering hearing her say Caramels, she is weird, but she had the most beautiful shade of red hair I've ever seen I wanted to touch it. I remember when I held her arms, she was indeed a tiny person which might be because of my height. She only reached my chest, I heard a knock and went to open the door to see John, my righthand man. I opened the door for him allowing him to enter." Sir the vizards have found out something...". My gaze darkened at the mention of the royal family of Hortense." Apparently, the king has a daughter who seems to be around the age of 20 and above and her name is Vivian Luaru Ares, from what I've heard from the vizards the princess barely makes any public appearances", is this Vivian the Vivian I met in the forest I must confirm it.

"thank you John for the information", he nodded and excused himself out the door. The room became increasingly quiet, I had to confirm whether they were the same person and if they were that would make it easier for me but for some reason, my chest tightened at that thought.
