chapter five
Frantic footsteps run everywhere, and even tears are spilled. Cadenza is crying tears of happiness, at least I like to think that they're tears of happiness, now that her wedding day has arrived.
They're preparing Cadenza foe the upcoming events, and Taryn has called for my other servants to help her get myself ready for today's events.
"Princess Y/N," a maid finds me. "Lady Taryn has been looking all over for you! You must come quickly."
I follow the maid to my resting chambers, and Taryn stands outside of them tapping her foot vigorously against the floor. She's fully dressed and pampered, and it gets me to think that Garroth had asked her to be his date.
"Where have you been?" She asks, annoyed. "I've been looking everywhere for you! Must I remind you that we leave before Cadenza?"
"My apologies Taryn."
I'm hurried into my closest, and I'm given privacy to dress by myself. The others stay in my room, and a few maids tidy it up a bit.
I look down at the long light green lacy, slightly off shoulder, dress, and I begin to get dressed.
Once I come out though, there's a figure sitting on my bed. They stare down at their hands, and I can't recognize who it is at the current moment, but I may know them, it at leadt seen them, from the past.
"Who are you?"
The figure looks up and says, "Princess Alexandra Zvahl of Meteli."
I stand there frozen. Once Hayden finds out, if he doesn't know already, I'll be sent off back to the orphange.
"Come Princess Y/N," a maid says as she lightly touches my arm. "We must finish preparing you for tonights wedding."
Taryn turns to another maid.
"Clean up Princess Alexandra and prepare her for the wedding. I'll stop by to take over once she has finished her bath, and Princess Y/N has been fully dressed for tonight's event."
I watch as she's taken away, ans Taryn walks me back into the closest to grab other accessories.
"I'm being sent to the orphanage tonight then," I sigh as she fixes my hair. "Do you think that King Hayden will announce that I'm a fake?"
"I don't think he would. He'd be happy of Alex's arrival, but he wouldn't cause drama on his eldest daughter's wedding date. People would frown upon him. Don't worry, Alex would make sure that you would stay. She's sweet like that."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Cadenza is destined to arrive in less than an hour now, and the wedding will begin shortly after she makes her appearance.
I've gone around and met different people that I didn't get the chance to meet at my ball. They're fine people, but some are power and money hungry. That is something I did expect coming into the royal family though.
I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I see Laurance.
"I was talking to father, and I convinced him to continue letting you go through the act until further notice. Alex most remain under the influence that you're our lost sister though," he twirls me around. I've gotten moments of enjoyments of how he does such random things, for example this twirl, but I do become on curious on what people think about for these actions. "Have you seen Princey-boo yet?"
I laugh, "Don't call him that. And no, I haven't."
"Who's Princey-boo?" I turn around at the familiar sounding boy to see Leo. "Laurance you know how I feel about these nicknames of yours."
I look around to see if I could find anybody that wasn't Leo or Laurance. I don't want to be around if and when they start up a fight.
I spot Taryn, but she's with Garroth. Then there's Zane, but even Garroth warned me about him.
"Darling, I've been looking everywhere for you," Leo says, and he wraps an arm around my shoulder.
Laurance scuffs, "She's her own perosn, leave it like that."
"I'm her fiancé."
I roll my eyes at their childish behavior. I begin to admire the ring on my finger as if it's the most fascinating object in the world hoping they would get the hint. Leo does, and Laurance simply stomps away like a four year old.
"I'm sorry for that," Leo apologizes and places a kiss on my cheek. Now that she's back, who is supposed to be in the arranged marriage with Leo? "Is something on your mind?"
"No, nothing at all," I shrug. "I was just wondering how I had become so lucky as of being with you."
"Excuse me," I turn around at the soft voice, and I see Alex and Vylad standing together. Alex smiles. "I would like to see you for tea tomorrow. I would like to properly get to know you."
I politely agree, and then I feel Leo unwrap his arm from around my shoulders. I look over to see his mouth dropped open, and I kindly shut it with my hand.
"Alex?"
"Oh," Alex bites her lip and grips tightly onto Vylad's hand. "Hello Leo. Long time no see, isn't it?" Sudden annoucments of Cadenza's arrival are heard, and Alex giggles. "Come on Vylad, let's go see Cadenza!"
They run off, and I look at Leo. I pout slightly once I see him watching their retreating forms. I then look around for Laurance, but I soon see him holding a princess close to him.
I shouldn't have fallen for both princes.
