Ruins

‘’Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,it only saps today of its joy.’’ 

Benelia and I went into town buying some stuff to get the palace situated and nice since now there are going to be so many guests entering my home as they are welcome. I hate the fact that I am worried about William and Oliver because they are opening their hearts out to me while I am denying them in a way I couldn't understand.

I love you are the words he keeps on telling me but i don’t feel them the way he does, so does that make me a bad person for not feeling that same way another person feels for you?

Benelia didn’t know what i was babbling about but i told her that Oliver told me he loves me while he is married to Lina but he shows that he wants to be with me but i refused to be with him. Benelia told me that I would break too many hearts if these men want to be with me. 

‘’What do you mean?’’ 

‘’I don’t think you know what you are doing.’’ 

‘’ I know what i am doing but i just don’t know why are they in love with me.’’ I sat down in agony.

‘’Do you love the both of them?’’ 

‘’Yes. No. Yes’’ 

‘’See.’’ She went to the fruit section checking out the grapefruit.

"Maybe I should stay away from them." I ate a grape where the lady asked me if I was going to pay for it, so I took out my coins giving her some coins for the grapes. 

"Thank you, your majesty." she said. 

"No thank you,Ms. Granger." I left to go to the meat market but I had stumbled upon Lina with Oliver on her side.

"Princess." she called as I was trying to quickly turn around. Olover was shocked to see me but I usually come to the meat market because I have a lot of fun being around the people as they sell produce.

I felt that my duty was not only to be around the people but to make the people know who I am when they see me around the place, to make them feel welcome because I am their princess becoming their queen.

Lina asked me what she should buy for tonight's dinner but I didn't think she had to waste her time on doing that because my chef knows what we are eating tonight. 

‘’Aww that too bad because i was looking forward to my treat for you, your majesty.’’ She stares at me so mischievously knowing that she wants to do something to me. I just let it slide where I took Benelia back home with me where I started babbling about Oliver and that haughty wife of his.

‘’So you're telling me this cousin, you are jealous.’’ She mocks me.I took a pillow throwing at her head for calling me jealous when she knows i am not jealous but i care about Oliver and the person who is married to. 

I went out to talk to Oliver but I overheard Lina talking about me to Oliver. Then she wants children because she knows that her only chance is to get rid of me. Oliver told her that he doesn’t want kids this early but Lina threw a fit when he said that.

‘’You want to have children with Ophelia when she doesn’t even love you.’’ She laughed at him.

‘’What are you talking about?’’ He was confused.

‘’William and Ophelia are the ones who are in love with each other but she doesn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you that she loves him more than you.’’ She walked away laughing because she loves torturing him 

Oliver went to find me but i had to hide this time since now he thinks he knows the truth, i went back to the room Benelia and i were talking when she was asking me why am i hiding. I couldn’t tell her so I rushed to the hidden door to lock myself there so he wouldn’t find me, Oliver came into the room asking Benelia where am i?
