The Bastard and the Princess

Chapter 5

Daphnes pov:
I was in shock to say the least... Lisa and Eros?! I mean they had shown bits of signs but romance? Not something you would think much of, genuinely.

I wanted to support this I really did. But we were royals. Destined to be with people at our level of class. As much as I loved Lisa she was way lower then that. "I.. I have to agree with Alfonso. I am so sorry Eros! I really am but this is not something we can do. Eros, we are royals we are made for people of our class not people lower. It is unfair but it is not something we can control." And with that I stormed out with tears in my eyes. I knew he would probably never wanna talk to me again. I betrayed him.

I ran to my room and sprung on my bed with no second thoughts before falling into a slumber to avoid all my issues.
         
                          The Next Morning...
I had woken up early shockingly. After getting ready and entering the dining room I had noticed Eros was not there. I was sad about that but not surprised considering all that happened yesterday. But Alfonso had not been here either, it was only father who was reading his book and drinking tea, Adelard  who was stuffing down a piece of bread and oddly I found Julian also sitting down... next to Adelard.

I quickly sat down in front of Adelard and greeted everyone before eating my toast with butter. "Princess, I was wondering if you would like to hang out again, maybe go into town or swimming by the lake?" Julian said quickly with my fathers eyes on him every second of his words.

"Sure, swimming sounds rather dashing today. Adelard would you like to join us? Today is nice and sunny so it is perfect for a swim!"  I said kindly before taking a sip of my orange juice. Adelard looked up and nodded before excusing himself to get ready.

Everyone else in the room was gone so it was just Father and I. He had looked like he had been longing to talk ever since Julian and I quickly conversed. "Daphne, What business do you have talking to the bastard? Well not only talking to him but inviting him with you?! He is a bastard,low class, and not fit to be around you like this. Also, what business do you have being around Julian?! You are meant to be mingling with VINCENZO! The man you are going to marry. Not those two stupid men! What are you doing with them huh?! Whoring around? Do me a favor and actually be useful instead of being such a brat! " My father says before storming off and leaving me shocked. He has been so weird lately but never has he been so rude to me.

Does he really think of me like that? As a whore? Am I a whore? Am I useless? A whore  and a useless girl. I felt the tears threatening to leave my eyes. But I did not let them I quickly picked myself up and got ready to go the lake.
 
While getting ready all I could think about is how my father treated me. What had gotten into him? I just wanted to make acquaintances and nothing more. Is that not visual? But before getting more into thought I heard a knock at the door which turned out to be Adelard. He had informed me that we were leaving in less then 20 minutes and that I had to be in front of the castle in that time frame so we can make it before sunset.

For my swim wear I had decided on a pink bikini that was not very revealing with a black cover up and some old flip flops that were a bit worn out.

Julian and Adelard were already in the carriage by the time I was in front of the castle. Both of them had blue trunks on with different patterns. They were both extremely fit which made me slightly insecure. But I gave them a smile before we were off to the lake.

End of chapter
  This chapter was a bit rushed but I just felt the need to make a filler bc if I made a larger chapter it would be not very shabby.
I know that was a short chapter but I have not been feeling the best lately so I am sorry for the really late update!!

Opinions on this chapter?

I will try to be more active.
Have a good day/night!❤️
