Anastasia didn't have the time to think and get flustered over her kiss with Kai because as soon as she got to the maids quarters, Madam Felicia came in, ordering the maids to different works. The Princess of Bassy is set to arrive in two days time and everywhere must be perfect for her arrival. The day suddenly became hectic, no room to joke or play. It was work over here, work over there. The atmosphere was light, everyone has been anticipating for the day thier future queen would arrive in the kingdom. Everyone has been curious, what does she really look like? Is she white as snow as people said? Or she's honey skinned? Is her lips red as rose? Her hair long and beautiful like that of Aphrodite? That has been the rumors flying around the palace. They must all see for themselves, how she really looks like.The large ballroom was being cleaned by Anna and couple of other maids.

Prince Kai sat still on the couch, staring at his mother unbelievably. Queen Rosette sighed and said, "I know you might be mad at..."Yes, I am. When did this happen? You told me this princess was set to arrive next two weeks and now, you're telling me she's to get here in the next two days? Why?""So that the both of you can get to know each other before your marriage. At least you should get to know her and become friends with her.""This is so unacceptable and messed up. Why can't I become King without marrying? Even if I wanna get married, I don't want to get married to a person I bearly know. You expect me to make a complete stranger my wife all of a sudden? I want to get married to someone I love. After I get married to her, you'd be expecting a heir and believe me when I say this, mother. I cannot have sex with someone I don't want anything to do with.""Kai..."That's the fact, mother. I can't. I'm gonna get going now...

FOUR DAYS LATERFor the past few days, Anna and Kai's relationship has been improving. Anna is no more awkward around Kai and they can are now friends?

Funnily enough, Kai doesn't want thier friendship to stop but he knows it has to at some point. He's getting married in approximately two weeks. He's not happy about it one bit but what can he do? He can't rule without a queen, they say. And if he doesn't take over the throne, other greedy people will.It's another night and Kai and Anna are at the garden as usual, chatting."But I'm not wrong though. You're pretty short."Anna shot Kai and glare and gave him a soft punch on the shoulder."I'm not! You're the tall one.""Just accept it,

THE NEXT DAYAnastasia stood in front of the Princess's room, arms akimbo as the guards denied her a entrance. She told them that she was the new vocal coach but all they did was to laugh at her. She's been there for about ten minutes and it's pissing her off."You have to let me in. I have an appointment. I'm not lying.""That's exactly what a lier would say. I don't know about you but we were given an order from the princess to let no one come into her room."Anna groaned and turned away from the two guards. Is the princess not aware of this? Prince Kai would have told her right? Anastasia looked down to her new dress and she smiled. A parcel was delivered to her this early morning and it contained a new dress, a pair of slippers and a pair of shoes. She knew behind doubt that it was from Prince Kai. The dress fitted her perfectly and the shoes were her size. How did he know? Kai just keeps impressing Anna.Anna turned back to the g

It's a brand new day and as usual, Madam Felicia had to be the morning alarm for the maids that overslept, including Anna. Madam Felicia always thought that the royals are handling these maids with light hands because how can a maid sleep in? It's just not right. Anastasia woke up with a very high spirit. As always, getting out of bed was the most stressful thing for her but she did get out eventually. She took her bathe and proceeded to the kitchen to do the dishes. "Ugh! Do we really eat this much?" Anna asked herself as she stared at the used plates gathered on the floor. She looked round the kitchen and squeezed her face in disgust. The place was so messy. "I'm sure the Royal kitchen isn't like this." She said to herself. She picked up a nylon and packed the left over foods into it. These leftovers are always left by the guards. Madam Felicia doesn't take it lightly with the maids whenever they waste food but the guards are go

"Hello, mother.""Your Highness."Queen Rosette, mother of Kai and Queen of Gardenia, smiled proudly as her son bowed to her in respect. It was just like yesterday when she pushed this fine young man out of her womb and now, he's all grown into a man. A bachelor which all princesses want to be with. A real eye-catch and a true leader. She has never been so proud of anyone as she's proud of her son. It's just so sad her husband won't get to witness his son climb on and take his rightful place as King."My children, come." Even before Queen Rosette invited them in, Courtney was already lying flat on her mother's bed. Prince Kai walked further into his mother's chamber and took a seat on one of the Royal couches."I heard that you wanted to see me, mother?""Yes, come sit with me my son."
