#4: Friends Forever

Lilliana???? What the hell? I rubbed my eyes to see properly, It was her. She was making out with the second prince??? What???? They were already lovers??

I turned around to go away, my face flushed, more than anger, I felt more embarrassed... Urgh.. This young sweet girl can't take this much in..

I suddenly heard my name,

"That girl Aurelia really thinks I am her bestfriend... She doesn't even know I trash talk on her.....Ahh...Slowly...Don't worry, she already has gone home, she wont bother you."

"That girl.. She goes on staring at me at all the previous balls, looking at me with those dirty eyes... but she will certainly play a good role to make us the rulers of the empire..."

"no.. don't talk abt that while you're with me...."

That's it... I ran away.....Seriously??? You can talk about me while doing.... but not treason???? Uhhhh.... I really wanna unsee and unhear whatever I experienced. It is really too much for me.

After seeing the maskman, the second guy seems worse... The maskman had awesome body... the real thing lies on the body... maskguy had such nice figure and muscles... the second guy is just a piece of paper...Should I runaway with a mercenary? No.. I need revenge and get stronger...

As soon as the coachman came, I sat in and went home. I ran in, dismissed all the maids and had a warm bath. By imagining the maskguy's body, it seemed as though the temperature went higher...

No! I am not a pervert... but.. now Lilliana and the second prince look really good together... bastard with a b*tch. I now know my type, I prefer... body, strength over face.... hmmm( 😳 )

*Next Day*

My friend sent a message saying,

"To my dear friend, Aurelia, I am sorry, but I feel sick and can't spend time with you... I hope you understand... Your beloved friend, Lilliana"

Wow! Nice! Well... I don't care. I went towards the dining hall, Dad had arrived yesterday midnight, I couldn't meet him so I really need to see him now..

*Door opens*

"Dad!!!!", I ran into the arms of my father, who was on his way to sit.

"What kind of terrible manners is this? Act with proper dignity", he said trying to remain serious.

He was always like this, even though his words may seem harsh, his eyes always tell me that he holds me dear. Yet, I didn't take care of him... but led him to his death...

"Sorry Dad, Please forgive me"

*Door opens*

"Hello Luna, Good morning father", said my second brother Derek.

Derek looked handsome and carefree as usual, but he is the one who always took decisions carefully and meticulously.

"Hello Der, Where's Julian?"

"He is on his way from his morning training, he was stinking you know... I made him take a bath, otherwise... uh!", he said making a thousand expressions.

Dad smiled a bit. But when I saw him again, His expression turned to a scowl. Seriously? You no need to hide it. I know you love your little family.

*Door opens again*

"Good morning father, Good morning to you both too", he said and came and sat down.

*While eating*

"All the servants are dismissed.", I sent them away, I needed to have a heart-to-heart with my family.

"Why Luna?"

"I need to talk, I have something to say to you all. Please don't disagree to my request"

Suddenly the temperature of the room dropped, My father also turned serious, His eyes clearly spoke and asked questions, like.. Are you in love? Who's he? He must be a cheater.... Are you pregnant????? Do you really like the second prince like the rumors....????

I spoke out, "Let's do treason" I said with a really cheerful noise.

"Are you alright my dear?", My serious father genuinely looked at me, touched my father in suspicion that I was crazy.

"I am in my right mind....I said Let's do Trea-"

"Shut up Luna... You know those words have heavy value and our Montrez family forbids those words... Just go out for calming your mind... This discussion will be done later.", Julian said.

I admit, I cried... I ran out like a child, I didn't even have a handkerchief, I sat in the carriage and asked the coachman to take me to the library.

I don't know why I chose library, but I felt the need to go there. A silent place, where no one knows me.

*In the library*

I went over to one of the shelves, and began looking through. My eyes suddenly caught the title of History of Kaeniz and Darius Empires. I began skimming through it. And I struck gold.

It is said that, The names Kaeniz and Darius were of two brothers, who fought over the throne, as a result, both split the Kingdom into halves, and started expanding it to become Kaeniz and Darius Empires. The only sister of the brothers was married to the Montrez family of Army generals. She sadly became the widow and the sole leader of the house due to her husband being killed in the war between her two brothers.

She was distraught, as her unborn child couldn't see its Dad. She then declared, no matter who is on the throne she will remain loyal, but never participate in the wars of succession. She made this an absolute rule to her clan,

I never knew about this. Maybe everyone else knows... I was not much of a book girl... you know how stopped me from entering libraries saying they are for boring women. Well, Now's my chance.

I took all kinds of books from politics to cooking, it is true that you can learn a lot. The last book of the day was something, 'The Knight's Promise', I didn't know about the oaths and all so I started reading. The cover was weird though, It had a rose and sword.

As I read on, I realized it had nothing to do with knights oath, but was a R18 romance novel. My ears turned a deep shade of red. No matter what, I couldn't stop reading...

Suddenly, someone grabbed my shoulder...
