chapter 28 Swallowing my pride

Aria pov

"My Lady you need to get ready, it's almost time." Erika my new maid told me. I haven't seen Petra ever since I told the prince about her plans, Erika was the one who brought dinner for me that night.

"What happened to Petra? Are you going to be my new maid?" I asked Erika, who was busy looking for the perfect dress for me to wear, I could wear a lace gown, along with some modern gowns that could make any girl look like a princess. But everyone in this kingdom love tradition so much that they mostly put on their traditional silky clothes. I wish I could break the rules and wear something else, but that wouldn't be good for me since I was prince Zane fiance.

"I don't understand your question my lady, who is Petra?"

I could see clearly that she was trying to play dumb so that she wouldn't get to answer my question, it's annoying, Erika was good at acting. I would have believe her if I didn't know that no one in Esterial kingdom was to be trusted, no innocent face could change
