The Prince Is Actually a Princess?!
Chapter 5
─── ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ ───
The moon casts a silver glow over the Elivara Palace gardens. Isla storms down the stone path, fuming.
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
[grumbling] “To survival,” he says. That arrogant, smirking—ugh!
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
Let me guess. The engagement is going splendidly?
Isla whirls around, arms crossed.
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
Helena, please. Don’t start.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
I wasn’t starting, darling. I was continuing. Your mother’s letter was practically a love poem about your ‘wonderful fiancé.’
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
[deadpan] Did she mention the part where I want to strangle him?
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
Oh, absolutely. Right after the part where she said you’d make ‘beautiful heirs together.’
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
[horrified] She did not.
Helena grins, looping her arm through Isla’s.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
Relax. I made that part up. But the rest is real.
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
This is a nightmare. He’s infuriating. Cold. Unreadable. And somehow not awful to look at, which makes it worse.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
So… you like him?
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
[gasps] How dare you.
A deep chuckle interrupts them.
From the shadows, a figure steps forward—broad-shouldered, dressed in military black. A smirk plays on his lips.
Cedric Valmont (General/mc right- hand)
So this is how Elivaran princesses talk about their betrothed. Fascinating.
Isla recovers first, scowling.
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
Were you spying on me?
Cedric Valmont (General/mc right- hand)
[Shrugs] No need. You were loud enough to wake the dead.
Helena, ever the diplomat, steps in.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
[smiling] You must be General Cedric Valmont. I’ve heard of you.
Cedric Valmont (General/mc right- hand)
[tilting his head] And you must be Lady Helena Astoria. The infamous handler of disasters.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
[blinks] Handler of—?
Isla Rosewood (princess/fl)
[grumbling] He means babysitter.
Cedric’s smirk widens as he turns back to Helena.
Cedric Valmont (General/mc right- hand)
I’d say your work is cut out for you.
Helena eyes him, assessing. Then she smiles—a slow, knowing thing.
Helena Astoria (fl bff)
Funny. I was just thinking the same about you.
For the first time, Cedric falters. Just a flicker.
Oh, this was interesting.
