THE HIDDEN FATE

Chapter 4

"Aiden, Connoly" Gregoria glared at them while Eldrick shook his head as both of them gulped.

"Lovisa, Revena just go with them." Alda ordered as both of them bowed and followed them.

Alda turned around as soon as they left, "Shall we begin?"

"And, this is the garden." Eason said as he revealed the lush and green garden behind him. Noa's eyes widened in awe as she saw the alluring sight right in front of her. The yellow rays of the sun fell over the garden, which made the whole scene more pleasing to her eyes.

"It just feels like a fairy tale." she spoke but quickly covered her mouth with her gloved hands.

Eason burst out laughing at her behaviour, "You're adorable, princess." he spoke ever so lovingly.

"This is my room." Aiden spoke out.

..............................................................................................................

"And?" Lovisa asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"And what? This is the door, this is the bed, that is the couch and back there is the washroom." he spoke out.

"Seriously?!" Lovisa was clearly annoyed.

"Yes, I've never been so serious and you should be thankful that you're here and I'm talking to you, cause, I'm not able to digest the fact that I have to share my room with someone." Aiden spoke in one breath.

"That someone is your soon to be wife." Lovisa spoke mocking him.

"Exactly, and I can't believe it, you Durian!" he yelled.

"EXCUSE ME?!" Lovisa shouted with the same voice.

"Yes, you're excused, please leave, dear princess."

Connolly and Revena were moving through the hallways, when he stopped in midway.

"What's the matter?" Revena asked her trying to sound as genuine and kind as possible.

He turned around, "Don't you tell me, that you really thought that I was going to give you a lovely tour of this palace. Do you even know that this marriage is against my wish? I never wanted to marry and that too with a Durian?!" he spoke out.

Revena just scoffed at his words.

"Do you think I'm so desperate to marry someone like you? A Carplett?! I'd rather die than marrying you but right now, I'm bound. My hands are tied by your parents or else I'd have cut down your throat." she spoke out with a smile lingering on her face.

"Your tongue moves too fast, doesn't it?" he asks her.

"My hands move much faster with a sword in each one of them and trust me, you don't wanna see that." she spoke out while whispering the last words.

"Move aside, my dear husband, you're blocking my way." she continued while Connolly just moved aside staring at her blankly.

Alda was sitting there signing papers while reading them as carefully as possible. It was about how her land was his and also his land was hers.

"I want to have rights over the people of the kingdom too." Alda spoke out.

"Sure, as long as we have the same right over yours." Sam spoke.

Alda nodded at his words.

The minister collected all of those and stacked them together.

"When shall we fix the date for marriage?" Gregoria asked.

"It should be as soon as possible. How about next week?" Sam suggested.

"Whenever the queen and princesses are comfortable with." Eldrick said while smiling at Alda and she returned back the smile.

"Next week seems good." Alda spoke out.

Gregoria hugged her as soon as she said that.

"Call the maids, we must prepare!" she shouted being all giddy.

"NEXT WEEK?!" Lovisa and Revena shouted in unison.

"Yes, when prince Eldrick said he leaves the decision to us, he was being very considerate and when someone is that considerate, we be considerate too and he clearly wanted for the marriage to happen next week. And being a queen, I can't deny anyone so thoughtful." Alda said.

Revena sighed at her words.

"That Aiden will let me sleep on the floor." Lovisa said.

"At least, he lets you in." Revena complained.

"Girls, we're not here to get a happy married life, we're bound to be here. We'll try to help these people and also know about why did the Carpletts wanted us to marry their sons. There are some things which needs to be unfolded." Alda spoke while whispering the last part.

"Whatever, but just look at that girl, who's drunk in love." Revena spoke pointing at Noa who was staring out of the window.

Lovisa chuckled at her.

"At least someone is happy." Alda said.
