- Kira -

It was the day for the meeting and contrary to the confidence I had felt before now, I became jittery.

The ride was prepared and we set out with many guards. Now alone with King Marcus on the ride, I realised how lonely I was.

We were going out of the pack. My subconsciousness had to remind me at a critical moment like this that even if I am no longer a maid, I am still a princess recognised only in my own pack and not beyond.

I tried to shove off the negative thoughts. I will do fine, I assured myself.

"How are you holding up there?" King Marcus asked and I managed a smile.

"I'm doing just fine," I replied, glad my voice did not shake because I was shaking inside like I had a cold.

The realisation just dawned on me now that this is more serious than I thought. The atmosphere, the carriage, the expensive attires, the scent of the air around me, everything.

Gosh, I should have dropped whatever feeling and pride and listened to Giselle's lectures at least. I saw her look as we

    - Kira -I let out three deep breaths immediately, I got out of the huge building. The darkness had begun to set in and the lights around illuminated the building beautifully.But all these were none of my concern. It was the humiliation back in there that suffocated me more than the fresh air from all the trees here despite the wind blowing in every direction.I should have just stayed back home but no, I was happy to have replaced Giselle and now this. What can take this shame away? Absolutely nothing. I just came here to disgrace myself and I did.Everyone would mock me if they heard this, and Giselle would have a good laugh, of course."So? Princess?" I heard someone say and turned round to look. I was alarmed because I did not know anyone there. A young man was looking at me with a mischievous smile on his face."Who are you?""Prince Morgan," he replied with a feeling of importance. "And I am the team awarding your father this contract."I eyed him."Oh," I said shortly."You're

    - Markus -While Sheka spoke to me, my mind was distracted because I was looking around for Kira. It's been a while since she stepped out and had not returned. I knew well she was not familiar with this environment, and if she wandered too far, she would be lost.The building is quite large, and it would be a double standard embarrassment to start looking for her after the first that happened during the meeting.I was worried she was sulking somewhere."So King Marcus, I am going to relay the next appointment and please, make sure to come along with Princess Giselle. We would have been over with this if only you did," Sheka said and I nodded."Of course, you said that already. I definitely will," I told him."Though we are acquaintances when it comes to my business, you know how professional I can be," he said. "Now that we are having a casual chat, why don't you tell me about this daughter of yours? I mean, all I have heard is rumors but now I have the opportunity to hear it from you

    - Markus -The ride back home was accompanied by silence, and I could understand why Kira would not want to say anything.Perhaps, she was buried in her thoughts as much as I was. I will have to make her understand that things happen for good and that she should not keep feeling bad because of the previous incident.Nobody became an important and respected figure in one day. They earned it. Even if one was already born into a royal home, they would still have to work to maintain it."Uhm, Dad?" She called after a long while in a small voice."Yes, sweetheart?" I looked at her."Are you upset with me?" She asked."Why?" I wondered aloud."I mean, because of what happened at the meeting. I am very sure you are very disappointed and upset. I did not mean for that to happen, really. I am so sorry.""Oh no darling," I smiled at her. "It's fine. Nothing is your fault and I do not regret taking you with me. If I had my way, I would take you everywhere I go.""Thank you so much, dad.""Listen

    - Kira -I was up very early the next morning as Mother had instructed and dressed to meet King Markus, my father, just like we had planned.She walked into the room when I was almost done with a tray of hot food."Are you ready?" She asked and I nodded."Good. I'm done as well.""But mum, I am a bit sceptical," I told her. "Is this really a good plan? What if it doesn't turn out well?""Trust me it will. Just do as I say, sit back, relax and see how the drama unfolds.""I am just saying because I know how the King loves Giselle so much," I stated."The king is also your father. You should never forget that. Besides, can't you see how much he is trying to prove to you he loves you? He'd do anything to gain your love as well.""But where Giselle is concerned? I might not be able to compete with her," I complained. Mother frowned deeply."Why are you so pessimistic? You have to see yourself as important as well. It is the way you carry yourself that others will relate to you. And if you

    - Giselle -"Giselle? Darling?" I heard someone call my name in my sleep and a familiar scent hit my nose. "Honey wake up.""No please," I said sleepily, turning to the other side of the bed."It's morning. Remember you said you wanted to make breakfast for your father? Look the sun is already shining."And to that, I jumped up and looked around. Truly, the sun was shining outside already."Oh my goodness, why didn't you wake me up since?" I turned with accusing eyes to Franklin and he looked stunned."I tried several times but you just wouldn't get up. Even now, you do not want to. You should be thanking me."I rushed out of the room to prepare something for my father. I decided to because he looked exhausted from yesterday's meeting and I didn't want him to stress any much today.I hurried to his room with the light breakfast I could afford to prepare with time. He was already up and looked like he had freshened up.Oh, Giselle, why are you such a sleepyhead? I chided myself. Thankf

    - Giselle -So I had to go to Kira's room, father following closely behind. Everything happening before me was very funny like I was watching a movie or something. The fact that Father was even behind me to confirm that I did take the file to Kira was more ridiculous.Anyway, we got there and I knocked impatiently at her door. Kira appeared with an innocent look on her face one wouldn't believe she lied about me coming to her."Is anything the matter?" She asked with feigned confusion."Kira, did you-" I started when Father cut me short."Can you let us in?" He said and she opened the door wider."Sure," she said. "Come in."We entered and she closed the door."Giselle, please repeat what you told me in my room," Father said, and I turned to her."Kira, before you headed for this meeting with Father, I came to you in your room and told you I needed to put you through before you left, and you said you did not need me to do that, yet you told Father otherwise?"She blinked her eyes rapi

    - Giselle -I stopped to glare at her."What now? You don't want to go? Scared you have a skeleton in your cupboard?" She said mockingly."You know what? That's actually a good point. We should check my room then," I agreed to it and dashed out.I did not look back to check if they were following me, but they were, all three of them. I expected Father to have ended this here, to tell me there was no need for me to prove anything, but no, it seems he was more interested in the evidence than everyone else.Franklin was putting a few things in order when we walked in and he looked at us with a confused expression on his face."What's the matter?" He asked, looking at me."Father thinks I did not put Kira through for the meeting she went for and she told him that even when I did. I tried to let father know the truth but it's difficult. Now I have to prove the file is not with me, so he might believe I did take it to her," I explained."Why don't you check with her?" Franklin asked like a
