Arianna gulped as she walked to the main royal dinning room, dear heavens! what was Damian up to? will she get in trouble? "presenting, princess Arianna" the royal butler said as the doors were opened for Arianna, as she stepped into the room, with her head bent low, she heard the voice of her father, "Arianna it's good that you're here, take your seat" he said without waiting for a greeting from her. As She raised her head to walk to her seat her heart dropped, there he sat in the most breathtaking princely suit she'd ever seen, his hair had been styled so perfectly as his red eyes focused on her, a smirk on his face. Damian watched as Arianna quickly covered rhr the look of shock on her face and sat down. He watched her gaze shift back to him now and then. "Now that I've hosted our guests, we can all start talking about the matter at hand" the voice of her father said, half and hour later as maids started cleaning up the table not caring if anyone was done yet. Arianna fel

Damian found Arianna seated on her bed, arms crossed on her chest as she glared around angrily, internally cursing herself for summoning him. "She's still upset" Damian drawled as he sat on her reading table. Arianna's eyes shifted to him, and in those emeralds he saw some sparks of gold that made Damian's brows furrow, those where some very strange eyes. "Go away" she said but he still continued to look at her, "What?" she asked, a bit embarrassed that he would stare at her like that. Suddenly he appeared in front of her that she was so alarmed her back hit the bed and she managed to sit up on her elbows, "What are you doing?!" she said, he was so closed to her, hovering around her and staring deep into her eyes. "Where did you get those?" he asked. "what?" "Your eyes" Arianna's brows raised in slight confusion. "I meant, did either of your parents have eyes like that?" he asked to see Arianna's gaze to fall. "No" she said, looking away, "It's just me" then she looked up

Arianna stared at the man in front of her. what gibberish was he saying right now? "If you'd excuse me, princess" Frank said as he bowed and left. Arianna couldn't stop him, she was too stunned by what just happened. Was it all a dream? if it was, then how was Damian here? or was he? "No.." she mumbled to herself, she wasn't delirious, it wasn't a dream, it's either a very bad prank or Frank was lying....or something was terribly wrong here. "Are you okay?" she heard a voice say as she collapsed on a chair. She didn't need to turn around to see who it was. The feeling of the dark aura emanating from behind her was enough for her to know who it was. "What are you doing here? do you want to be seen?" she said keeping her head straight so not to appear to be talking to him. "Don't worry princess," Damian said as he appeared in the chair right in front of her as he smirked, "No one can see me till I let them" 'Well that's an impressive move' thought Arianna.

Meena scratched the back of her neck, "Princess are you okay?" she asked. Arianna paused from putting a spoon of soup in her mouth, "I'm...fine.. why?" Meena gulped, "her highness has been acting strange since this morning" Arianna managed what she thought was a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, Meena" she said and Meena bowed, walking away. Immediately after her breakfast, Arianna rushed to the library, bumping into Aidan on the way. "Where are you off to is such a hurry?" he frowned as he arranged his clothes and dusted himself, his blue eyes frowning at her. "The library" she said, trying to get away from him. "What? is it running away?" he mocked as he walked past her, but stopped and turned, " I heard Prince willow tried to have breakfast in your courtyard. I should thank the heavens for the rain" he smirked and walked away. "More like thank Damian.." Arianna mumbled under her breath, then turned and tried to walk as unsuspiciously as possible to avoid bumping into anyone

It was the rays of sunlight that seeped through her windows that woke Arianna up. Her emerald green eyes wandering around her room to see the bending figure of Meena, who—as if noticing her woken self, turned round. "Your highness, you're awake" she courtesied. Arianna's brows furrowed as her head started to ache mildly. "what time is it?" she asked as she stood up, immediately noticing the sting in her palm which she chose to ignore. The events of last night played vaguely in her head that she wasn't sure if it really happened. "it's an hour after breakfast time, milady" Meena said and fidgeted unsure of whether to say what was on her mind. Arianna noticed this,"What is it, Meena?" The young maid scratched the back of her neck, "Umm...I was wondering if the princess was alright?" Arianna's raised an eyebrow in slight confusion, "I don't understand. why wouldn't I be?"

Arianna was rushing out of the library when she almost bumped into someone. "What are you doing here!" Eliza said angrily, "You left you're husband to be and scurried off to the library?" Arianna cringed at what Eliza called willow, 'her future husband'. "I needed to calm myself—" "Calm yourself?" Eliza interrupted, "Because of what?" Before Arianna could answer, a maid ran towards them and curtsied. "Your highness, the king is wondering where the young princess went to" Eliza turned back to Arianna with a glare and the latter rolled her eyes, "Take this to my chambers" Arianna said to the maid who left hurriedly. "If you do not wish to incur the wrath of father, go to your husband to be, now" Eliza said, silk covered hands crossed against her chest. With a sigh, Arianna walked back to the throne room. "Ahh, there she is" She heard King Alexander say to Willow who was standing next to him walked briskly to Arianna. "You suddenly
