Chapter six- The dinner

"I'm ready" I said as I walked out of the bedroom.

"You look gorgeous". Aaron smiled at me. "Come on" he offered me his hand.

"So… What's the next surprise?"

"I'll show you in a moment"

We walked for about ten minutes until we arrived at a room full of jewelry.

"You can pick any neckless you like." he said.

After a few minutes, I saw one I really liked.

Aaron placed it on my neck, I turned around to see him, he looked really handsome.

The past days I've treated him horribly.

"Rowena" he whispered as he was getting closer.

And like that he placed his lips on mine.

His lips were really soft, they moved slowly, I placed my hands on his neck to get him closer.

It felt like he actually cared about me.

Suddenly his tongue was trying to get into my mouth, I let him.

'What would Tomas think if he saw me like this?' I thought, suddenly my chest is tighter.

I stopped kissing Aaron.

"Hey... everything is okay?" he said.

I'm confused.

"Yes..."

(...)

As we walked downstairs everything became weird between us... again.

Everyone was waiting for us.

"His Royal Highness prince Aaron and Lady Rowena of Liphima". The butler announced.

As we walked in I saw a blond girl that I've never seen before.

"Aaron! " She screamed as she runs to hug Aaron.

"Natalie! That's not the way a lady should behave" An old woman that looked really similar to the girl said.

"Rowena this is my cousin Natalie" Aaron introduced us. "And this is Josefina my mother's sister"

"It's nice to meet you both" I said.

"Well let's eat" The king said.

As we walked to the table Grandma Petra got me away from Aaron.

"Your parents and I are leaving tomorrow, I hope you don't embarrass us and behave like a lady." She whispered at me while she smiled at the rest and walked away.

I hate that woman.

"Are you okay?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, she was just being annoying as always" I smiled at him.

"If you want me to I can ask the guard to kick her out" he suggested.

"Come on lets get this over with." I took the prince's hand and walked to our places.

(...)

We were already eating dessert.

Natalie and Aaron were talking about their childhood while I played with my chocolate muffin.

Suddenly I heard a Horrible alarm. The guards close the doors.

"We are under attack" One of them alerted.

"Protect the king" The other one ordered.

"We have to go to the shelter" Natalie said opening a door.

"Go I'll be right behind you." Aaron said.

We all left.

We were all at the shelter when I realized Aaron was missing so before the guard closed the door I took the king's sword and ran out of the shelter.

"Lady come back!" he screamed, but I was already too far.

I saw a lot of people fighting.

A tall guy was running like he was going to attack someone. Suddenly I noticed that he was going to attack me, so I quickly took the sword.

We started fighting, but he was a lot stronger than me, I thought he was going to kill me when he stopped fighting me and run to attack a guard.

I took my chance and I threw a dagger I had hidden under my dress. It hit his head and he died.

I realized he was wearing an ear pod, which seemed strange.

I kept running trying to find Aaron.

Finally, I saw him, he was fighting someone.

"Oww you're here princess" The attacker said when he saw me, Aaron took the opportunity and killed him.

Before he died he said "Abort the mission she is here".

After that everyone started escaping.

"What did he mean" I asked Aaron.

"I have no idea" He said while hugging me.

(...)

Of course, after everyone got out of the shelter my mother and Petra started complaining about my actions because it wasn't ladylike for me to go running to fight.

Aaron and I were finally in his room.

He and I were getting ready for bed, I didn't want to share the bed, but he insisted the attacker could come back.

"Everything is clean and I left you something to sleep in while we get you new clothes" Liv said exiting the room. Apparently, during the attack, they were searching for something in my room.

I went to the bathroom to get my things when I saw a note between my things.

"I'm coming to get you" -ST

"Aaron!" I called him.

He entered the bathroom with his sword in hand.

"What happened?" he asked confused.

I showed him the note.

"I'm coming to get you- ST, Who is ST?" He said

"I have no idea"

"I will show it to my father tomorrow" he hugged me "lets go to bed."
