chapter - 4
Aira Vale ( FL )
(grabs her phone, muttering)
Why am I even awake this early?
(Stares at her phone)
Right. Mr "I'm - a - prince" and his purple tie challenge.
She opens the livestream of the royal press release
News Anchor (on screen)
Crown Prince Adrian Aurelius will adress the press shortly
Adrian steps out, perfect smile in place – wearing the navy tie,just as his mother demanded
Aira Vale ( FL )
(snorts)
Busted. I knew it . Navy, not purple.
Nice try scammer
Adrian Aurelius ( ML )
(text)
Too quick to judge. Look closer
Opening the attachment that Adrian has send . It's a photo: Adrian in his dressing room mirror, jacket open. Beneath the navy tie , tucked neatly,is a thinner purple tie hidden away
Aira Vale ( FL )
(heart skips, whispering to herself)
No. This can't be real
Her fingers hover above the screen. She types,then erases. Types again. Finally,she sends
Aira Vale ( FL )
You're ridiculous
If this is real,then why hide it?
Adrian Aurelius ( ML )
(text)
(smiling faintly as reporters fire questions)
Because not every truth is for the world to see
Some are only for you
Aira stares, disbelief. She grips her phone tighter, torn between denial and something dangerously close to belief
Adrian answers questions about foreign trade,his voice calm and steady. Outwardly he's every inch the perfect crown Prince.
Inwardly, his half on the across the screen
Adrian Aurelius ( ML )
(inner thought)
She'll be frowning at that photo right now.
Doubting, overthinking
(soft smirk)
Exactly as I want her to be
From the front row , Queen Seraphina watches him with hawk like precision
Seraphina Aurelius ( MLs Mother )
That smile...too smug ,too private.
Something feels off
Seraphina Aurelius ( MLs Mother )
Keep an eye on him
I want to know what he's upto
Aira Vale ( FL )
Okay think Aira
Option one : he's some tech genius faker who edits faster than lighting
Option two: he's actually...
(shakes head violently)
No. That's impossible
princes don't just DM random girls online
Adrian Aurelius ( ML )
(text)
You're quiet
Thinking about me?
Aira Vale ( FL )
(text)
(rolls eyes,but hesitate before typing)
Thinking about how insane this is
If you're really who you claim to be...prove it again
Adrian Aurelius ( ML )
(text)
(leans back in his chair, ignoring the folder the Queen's advisor just handed him)
Hmmm. Another test?
What will you dare me this time , stranger?😏
