"Yahh lisa I told you to choose something good and see what you choose? You have no fashion sense" Mona, Lisa sole girl best friend after Albedo spoke irritatedly. Tomorrow is Aloy's Lisa older siater engagement with Second Prince. So, Mona is helping her to chose a dress because she is the best designer in the capital.

"I told you to choose anything and you are just so dumb and don't pout" she warned and started finding a dress for her. Lisa smiled and back hugged her "You are best Mona," she said cutely. "Okay leave me now and try this dress," Mona said while handing hera blue off-shoulder gown. Lisa hesitate to take it, but she forced her into the changing room.

Lisa walk out of the changing room "yahhh lisa is that you" Mona yell astonishly. The shop staff looks at thier crazy owner weirdly. Lisa glared at her embarrassingly "you look like Cinderella, that's final you are going to wear it tomorrow" she finished her sentence and ordered the staff to pack the dress.

"I can't Mona, It looks expensive and it's not my taste,"Lisa said pleadingly. She glared at her and said, "stop making excuses and it's a gift from me". She said and pushed her into the changing room again. Lisa sighed in defeat and changed into her previous dress. "I will send you this dress tomorrow afternoon because I don't believe in your sister, she may burn your dress in jealousy," Mona said and Lisa glared at her, but it is true though.

"I am leaving now," Lisa said, but Mona stopped her. "Wait I order your favorite chocolate pastries take this and share it with Alvedo," Mona replied while handing the bag and wink Lisa rolled her eyes at her comment. That monkey and me Ewww I want to vomit right now.

"Yahh he is like my brother how many times have I told you and he is not in the town, So this is mine now" Lisa yell at her and snatch the pastries bag from her hand. Mona smirked and said, "Brother let's see". "I am forgiving you this time because I am getting late next time I will kill you," Lisa said while pouting angrily and hugged her. She hugged her back "let's see who killed who". Lisa just rolled her eyes and broke the hug.

Mona smiled at her cuteness and bid farewell. Lisa smiled in return and walked toward the door. She opened the door and met with a big crowd. "Oh, so today he is coming back," Mona voice come from behind her. Lisa turned toward her, who is now standing beside her at the door. Lisa look at her confusedly and ask "who?". "Don't you know?" She shrugged her shoulder and Mona rolled her eyes "like you don't know". "I actually don't know," Lisa resist and sighed. Mona flicked her forehead then said "Stupid The legendary war hero is coming back" she yelled.Lisa looked at her with more confused expression. Mona sighed and explain "Dumbo its non other then the Cold 1st Prince or should i say the Crown Prince".

"What?" suddenly the crowd started cheering when ten horse riders entered the town. Lisa breath hitch when she looked through the crowd and her eyes caught a specific Black Friesian horse rider who was also looking back at her. His deep dark eyes shine in the sunlight. His long brown hair was tied as a man bun. He was wearing black plate armor with royal sign that is different from other horse riders.

As he passed by her side, he smiled at her, Lisa heart starts beating fastly, and her breath hitched. She felt like she was going to die, thier gazes broke when his horse walked far away. "Did he just smile? The cold prince smiles?" Mona yelled near her ear and broke her trans. It's nothing, Lisa, maybe he was looking at someone else she tried to calm herself while repeating the same line inside her head.

Mona started shaking her while holding her both shoulder and said, "wake up Lisa he was gone". Lisa rolled her eyes at her stupid comment and stopped her from shaking her. "I am going now bye," Lisa didn't take her more time to tease her started walking away while Mona yelled her from back "you are no fun lisa". Lisa ignored her and keep walking away leaving her with her eyes wide open. But the previous scene kept repeating in her head.

Lisa just step into the house when her mom starts yelling "where were you? I told you to come back home before four but see you were an hour late" she looked down and whispered "sorry".

"Now go and help your sister tomorrow is her engagement and here you are roaming around the town like a begger, did you even buy a dress?" She nodded her head in return, still looking downward. "Thank God now go and help her," she said coldly and walked upstairs. Lisa sighed in defeat and walk toward her sister room with heavy heart. While thinking how miserable and suffocating her life is in this house. But she still believe deep down, her mother loves her as her daughter.

She opened the door of Aloy's room and saw her crying on the floor. Lisa ran toward her "What happened sis why are you crying?" She asked panicking while sitting in front of her sister. "Go away, I don't need your fake concern" Aloy yelled at her and pushed her back.

Then she stood up and threw her engagement jewelry on the floor that is place on the bed. "Sis what are you doing stop" Lisa yelled and tried to stop her from tearing the dress. Aloy tried to push her away but she didn't budge and in the end Aloy broke down in tears. "Lisa...I...don't..... want..... to marry Prince Julius..... Help me," she said while pleadingly.

"What are you saying? Prince Julius is the best partner for you and he will make you happy," Lisa tried to persuade her while caressing her back. "Lisa, I don't like him. Lisa, I like..." Her sentence was cut off when the door burst open. Lisa eyes got widened when mom harshly pulled her from Lisa and slapped her hard.

"I already told you, you are going to marry Prince Julius and that's final" her mom yelled at her and Aloy started crying again while aitting on the floor miserably. Lisa tried to reach her but her mom stopped her. "Get out, I want to talk to her" Lisa nodded and left the room hurriedly.

She was about to walk away when she heard Jake's name. She stop on her track her. It feels like her world stop moving. Her heart rate paced and the scene from the before started playing again in her head. 'His smile' she thought and blood rush through her cheeks. She run toward her room and lock the door. She tried to calm her heart which can burst at any moment.

"What have you done to me, Jake?" She whispered when her body touch the soft bed mattress and a smile formed on her beautiful pink lips.
