their end is near

Anna's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was Noah..her Noah.

"Are you really him?" She asked as he pulled her up from the ground.

"I am. I saw you sneaking out from the quarters to the castle and I was overwhelmed with joy, now I made sure I wasn't mistaken." He hugged her.

"I miss you so so much." she reciprocated the hug.

"then what're you doing here? participating to marry the prince?" His face had a glint of sadness.

"It's a long story. I don't want this, could you help me to get out of it? "

"I will try buh-"

"Can the audiences return back to their seats for the announcement?'' A voice over echoed, making everyone to go as they were.

"I should also go, I'll meet with you later." Anna gave a warm smile.

"I'll wait." he exchanged the smile.

But as she left, his eyes altered to a dark red dangerous color.

Anna was standing in front of everyone, although she noticed that Susan was no where to be seen, she still remained her composure.

"Due to the electrocution of miss Susan, the other judges and I have come to the conclusion that miss Anna has automatically won the 1st round, thereby spending the evening with prince Andrien for a dinner date."

Everybody clapped in synchronize, while the others cheered.

'oh no no no, this can't be happening.'

anna wailed within, then she spotted Noah leaving his seat in anger, and Andrien doing the same thing also in anger.

"Andrien where do you think you're going? come escort miss Anna to her room." King Darin smiled to hide his frustration.

"yes, father." He went to Anna and whispered.

"tonight is going to be your worst night in history."

"you wish." she replied and followed him.

Anna felt guilty for Noah. Why did he have to show himself today of all days? He should've known her love for him and maybe one day, just one day, he would announce his love to her to the world.

"You're lost in thoughts again." Andrien spoke when they reached her room.

"mind your own business mister."

"It seems like you've gained some courage to be aware of who you're speaking to." the corner of his lips came up.

"I'm very much aware, but I certainly do not see you as a 'prince' or a 'royalty', you appear more like a commoner to me." anna had to bite her lower lip to stop herself from saying some insulting words.

"Tonight I will prove to you that I'm infact a noble royal prince. Expect a gift from me this evening..see you.." andrien kissed her knuckles and departed.

"fool!" once he was gone, she cleaned her knuckles and entered her room.

"Mr. hadel, miss Susan was the one that got electrocuted. How do you intend to accomplish your next plan? you know I can't wait for them to suffer.." An unknown woman was eager.

"Relaxx darling. you have to wait and watch. *Evil laughs* their end is near..*laughs even more nefariously*"

the woman joined the laughter.
