Emily: oh m-my prince...
Cyrus: (smirks) you are back. We were you?
Emily: (stammers) umm... I-i was in my room.
Cyrus: don't you dare lie to me. Where did you go too?
Just then princess Eva walked in... And she was smiling.
Eva: oh... Hi Cyrus. I see you are here with Emily, in your room... (smirks)
Cyrus: shut up and get out. And next time knock before entering, got it. Now leave.
Eva: can you just calm down... We are supposed to have a little chat with Christopher.
Cyrus: is that so...?
Eva: yes. After you can chat with Emily.
Cyrus: you know her name?
Eva: oh yes, me and her are friends (she said smiling)
I flinched.
Cyrus: (glares at Emily) let's go already.
**********in the room of Christopher********
Cyrus: what did you guys want to say?
Christopher: calm down Cyrus, you are always so impatient.
Eva: to be honest Cyrus, why are you always in a bad mood? Well anyway we wanted to talk about your marriage with Avis.
Just then my mood changed.
Cyrus: I'm not marrying her again.
Christopher: what?! But why? I am her father's heir to the business.
Cyrus: quiet. I don't care anymore, the only reason I decided to marry her was because you and father pestered me to. She has been my lover ever since. Plus I don't want her to become my wife.
Christopher: I can't exactly force you too, but what now? At least be friends with her.
Eva: you can't exactly force him too.
Cyrus: I really don't mind! And I have made my decision, which is no.
Eva: (snicker) Cyrus you are so calm, but also impatient.
Christopher: how dare you talk to him like that?
Cyrus: let it be Christopher. Is that all you have to say?
Eva: oh... Brother, you are such a gentle man. Just try to be patient sometimes ok?(chuckles)
I walked out of there without saying anything. But as I walked down the hallway, I thought to myself, me and Avis has always been lover since childhood. But now I feel like I'm not interested in her anymore.
I don't know. And I'm not marrying her because someone told me too I will marry her of my own will...
******************next day******************
Emily: your grace please have breakfast.
I stared at her. something was really wrong with me. I suddenly find her attractive, she's been her for like a week. But still.
Cyrus: (pffts) yeah right...! We are hosting a masquerade ball next month... So you better not be sluggish. (said while carrying his coat)
Emily: yes your grace. Is there anything you need.
Cyrus: get out.
I noticed her flinched.
Emily: yes your grace.
I walked out of there quickly... Why was he always so angry when it's comes to me?
Eva: lady Emily.
I turned back. And faced her, why was she calling me lady? I mean I'm a maid...!
Eva: phew! Thank goodness. You just served my brother right?
Emily: oh... um yes. Is there anything you need.
Eva: boo you forgot about the tea party right?! Come on.
She dragged me into her room, which was heaven. With chandelier, a dressing mirror...! I felt like I should take this room. It was so beautiful.
Eva: (rings bell) so one of my maid will dress you up ok! Don't be late. (dashed away)
_ don't worry you will look beautiful. But first take a bath.
She styled my hair and gave me a quick makeover. When she was done. I couldn't believe my eyes, was this me?
Eva: oh... My Emily you look so pretty. Come take a sit the guest will be her soon.
I sat down. But I was a little nervous because lady Avis was here. I know she doesn't like me, but does she has to be here. plus she kept giving me death glares from across the table.
Eva: (raised her glass to make a toast) excuse me ladies, we have a new member of our tea party, from today. Come on introduce yourself.
Emily: (stood up) i-i am Emily. And I'm so happy to be with you all t-today...
I was stammering because of the glares in lady Avis eyes. I couldn't concentrate!
Avis: excuse me... Why is Emily here with us today?
Eva: I invited her here.
Avis: oh... I didn't know. Nice to meet you Emily. (said smiling)
Emily: n-nice to meet you too, lady Avis.
Eva: oh yes Avis I'd like to say something... But we have to talk privately... Not now though after the tea party...
Avis: oh yes of course...
Me and my assistant, Carl hearterson was walking down the hallway while something caught my eyes... I saw a girl and Eva talking with some guest. But I have never seen that girl before.
When she turned her head I was shocked to see Emily! She looked so beautiful, I couldn't help staring.
