Our night went on without any issues and we continued to meet all the way up until the point of the ceremony. When it was going to be officially announced that the the crown prince was engaged. He still had no clue what I truly looked like, and I intended to keep it that way. To our surprise people hadn't spread rumors that we were seeing each other instead the rumor spread that the crown princess was going to be announced, and that Nora was about to officially become part of the imperial family.

Rumors of her expensive one of a kind dress and jewelry spread, she was preparing to be announced the crown princess. The crown prince was informed of the dress I would be wearing so he could get the same purple to match. It would only be a small part of his outfit, as his accessories and accents were all the same purple. His father and mother also did the same to show unity. It was my brothers idea, he thought it would be beneficial to show a strong front as the people were about to be shocked by who would be there next queen, there are also delegations from other kingdoms coming. This was to help strengthen and form alliances while congratulating the engagement. All eyes on the family and something this simple made it all look like a strong front.

We would be the last to enter. Me in particular as they didn't want anyone to know. My brother would escort me in, making it even more official and unified.

Nora and her family were about to have an unpleasant reality check. They weren't the only ones, I hadn't show Peter my really hair yet, his dad and my people knew but nobody else was aware that my natural hair color wasn't black. There is also no way he hadn't realized who I was.

My mother was killed as was my twin. It was never confirmed but we all knew it was likely by Petters mom or her family that way she could insure her child gets the throne. Although my mother tried to kill me, the way she did it is the only reason I'm alive and nobody knows that I exist. I believe my father thinks I'm a relative of hers. Most of her family and supporters started to died off in mysterious circumstances leading up to her death. I take after my mother, my father also has purple eyes his aren't as bright as mine but it's the only thing I got from him. My mother also had purple tinted eyes but hers were more of an indigo color, from the paintings I have seen of her, I don't have any memories of what she looked like though.

I remember enough from when I was young to know my father isn't a good person. My mother wasn't either. She sent me off to my death and my father didn't even care enough to be there when my mom was giving birth to us, I've heard rumors that he was with a mistress the night we were born and that mistress was Peter's mother. Not even she has kept his interested though, he hasn't officially brought in a concubine in a while although he has plenty of mistresses come and go.

It was finally time.

I would be introduced to society and as the official crown princess. I heard them intrude Peter then his parents.
