chapter 3

In Adrianna's Room.

Adrianna's Pov

I was in my room when my Mom came in, she ran to hug me, and she was sobbing softly.

Kella: I'm so sorry, I didn't know he wouldn't attend (crying softly).

Adrianna: Mom it's fine, I've accepted my fate, but I promise to make his life a living hell for what he has done to me.

Kella: I know u are angry, but please do not disrespect your husband, and don't do anything that will make him angry, please because if you do, he can start a war.

Adrianna: Okay, Mom(sarcastically).

(Still in the middle of our discussion when we heard a knock).

Kella: who's there come in.

Palace guard: Good afternoon, My Queen, My Princess.

Kella & Adrianna:(Answering in unison) Good afternoon.

Palace guard: My princess, your carriage awaits you.

Adrianna: I'll be right there, you can go now, I'll be behind you.

Kella: I'll miss you( sobbing softly).

Adrianna:Mom, can I take lyria with me.

Kella: (Hesitating) you can take her, I'll talk to your father.

Adrianna: Thank you Mom (pulling my Mom for a hug) ------ I'll miss you Mom, I love you.

Kella: love you too (wiping her daughter's tears away).

Adrianna's Pov

I bade my Mom goodbye, looked around the palace one more time before entering the carriage.

I was still in the carriage thinking of what to say to the demon who couldn't attend his own marriage, when Lyria tapped me.

Lyria: My princess look around you, the kingdom of Seth is so beautiful.

Adrianna: (looking around) you are right the kingdom is breathtaking, it's so beautiful.

Lyria: The king must put much effort into this Kingdom.

Adrianna: Hmm, you are right.

(While I was still admiring the kingdom of Seth).

Palace guard: My Queen, we have arrived at the palace of Seth.

Adrianna:(coming down from the carriage, talking to herself calmly). The palace is even more beautiful than the other part of the kingdom, it is amazing, it is even more beautiful than my father's palace.

Lord Divien: Are you going to stand there, admiring my palace or are you going to come inside.

Adrianna's Pov

I was so busy admiring the palace when a man approached me, turning towards him, I was astonished, the figure standing in front of me, was enough to make any girl go crazy. He is tall, has a light skin with light green eyes which I couldn't take my eyes off, it was as if his eyes were drawing me closer to him, his hair was long, but noth too long, falling on his shoulders, and with his captivating pink lips, that looks as if it was made specially for a kiss.

Lord Divien: Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come inside. Hello ----------- (waving his hands across her face to get her attention) ----------- Are you hearing me.

Lyria: My princess, (shaking Adrianna).

Adrianna: Mmmh ------ oh sorry, I was lost.

Lord Divien: (stretching his hands for a handshake) I'm Lord Divien.

Adrianna: Lord Divien,(thinking) wait the Lord Divien, who couldn't attend his own marriage (in an angry tone) how can you be so heartless and wicked, you left me in the alter embarrassed, are you this wicked.

Lyria: My princess--------

Adrianna: (cutting her off) when people say you are heartless, and wicked, i used to think they were just being judgy, but after what you did, I hate you, and I will continue to hate you.

Lord Divien: Aren't you so beautiful when you are angry, come to think of it, you were just admiring my beauty, and now you are angry with me for not coming to take you myself.

Adrianna: (scoffs), Don't think too high of yourself, My king, I was admiring your palace and not you, you are not even close to beauty, you are a demon, and demon are not handsome.

Lord Divien: Are you sure that was what you were doing? (leaning over and whispering into her ears).

Adrianna: I'm tired, I've had a long day and I need rest (walking past him).

Lord Divien: (Turning around) Synthia, show her to her room.

Synthia: yes my Lord.

( As they walked through the palace hall).

Adrianna: so, how are you related to the king?

Synthia: we have been friends from childhood.

Adrianna: How did you both meet?

Synthia: we met in sword practice, he was a good opponent, and we became friends since then.

Adrianna: sword practice? (In a surprised tone).

Synthia: yes, is there a problem?

Adrianna: Uhm, No I'm just surprised.

Synthia: why?

Adrianna: in my hometown, girls aren't allowed to learn sword fighting, we weren't even allowed to fight, wait do you go to war?

Synthia: yes.

Adrianna: wow, oh my God, can you please teach me, please, please (blinking her eyes repeatedly and pouting her lips).

Synthia: How can I refuse, with that face? I'll teach you.

Adrianna: Thank you so much.

Synthia: (pointing at a door) here is your room, settle in and I'll come check on you later
