"It is right that your Grandmother escaped. She lived a normal life. But before she did, a lot of people-"
"No. It won't happen. I can manage Atticus. I promise!"
"It's dangerous."
"I. I have to find a way."
"I will help." I heard a familiar voice and even Atticus was surprised to see them here.
"Dylan? What are you doing here?"
"Congratulations Princess. We have been here since the ceremony started. The wedding will be rescheduled tomorrow. Our apologies for fooling you." Dylan greeted me and Helena behind him.
"Helena? You're here too?"
"I've always wanted to see you Princess."
"Then, shall we continue?"
"What? No." Atticus exclaimed.
"Come on, you ruined the deal and now you'll stop me from helping?"
"What? What deal?"
"You don't have to know Princess."
"Eh?"
"Hm, I don't know what's going on too." Helena said.
Helena grabbed my hand and took me out.
"Princess Aisla." She said my name and hugged me.
What's wrong with her?
"I just wanted to apologize and thank you."
"Eh, for what?" she grabbed something from her dress pocket and put it in my palm.
"This one belongs to you." she added.
"No, no way. This is yours."
"You are the person he treasures the most. I can't ruin the tradition of this necklace."
"But it doesn't suit me anymore. Right now..." I said and put the necklace on her neck.
"You are the one he will treasure and take care of."
"But Princess."
"I am happy for the two of you."
"Thank you Princess." she said and bowed.
"The Royal Highness and the Queen." The awkwardness stopped when someone spoke up.
"And the Princess of Cornelia."
"Wait, where is she?"
"She must be with some friends."
"I'm sorry." I said as I quickly stood up in front of them.
I don't know why they have to call everyone's attention, but I guess Grandmother noticed it too. If being in a royal family is like this, I guess I'll call it sweet.
People started dancing and some nobles continued to eat.
"Would you like to dance?" Atticus approached me and invited me to dance.
"I would love to."
While we were dancing, I could see Helena and Dylan happily dancing too. The King and the Queen looked lovely as Father turned Mother around. If only I could manage to see them like this forever.
"What's on your mind?"
"Huh?"
"Silly, are you worried?"
"Atticus, I thought you could read minds?"
"Haha, stop worrying."
"I can't help but be worried."
