Anthony POV:

I sat on an arm chair in my room, reading a documentary of Asian countries. I dropped the book on the side table, picked up my glass of water and took a sip of it.

My eyes instantly glanced at my junior brother to see him smiling to himself. Without bothering to ask why, I picked my book up and continue to read. In seconds I heard Kiran giggling for a reason I don't understand. I dropped my book on my laps and stared at him carefully.

"Why are you smiling and giggling like an idiot". I immediately asked.

"I made a new friend today". He answered looking at me with a happy face.

What type of friend would my brother have a conversation with to make him feel this way.

"Who is it?" I asked curiously going back to reading my book.

"Is one of the royal maiden in this palace".

This kid got to be joking.

"You had to stoop so low to make friends with a servant?"

"She's not just any type of servant, she's beautiful 😍, nice and friendly".

He complimented. What the hell is wrong with this kid.

I placed my book back on my laps to look at him carefully, I think he isn't feeling alright today.

"If it was other maidens of this palace, at that moment I met them, they behave like hypocrites and always use me to get close to you. But she was different, we talked to each other like you never existed". He said grinning.

"Not Funny bro, I do exist".

"Yah whatever, her name is Aria". He said in a dreamy way.

"I've got no idea of who you're referring to". I said boringly.

"How can you not know her, Mrs. Maggie always talk about her at the dinning room". He spoke out in disbelief.

"Still got no idea of who you're referring to".

"Aria the royal kitchen maid".

"Still no idea".

"Anthony you're unbelievable, she wore a scarf around her head and have a golden brown hair, any idea".

Wait a sec, is he talking about that woman who caught my attention while displaying a dance on my coronation day. No way, it can't be.

"No". I lied and Kiran stare at me being annoyed.

"You're just so annoying Anthony, you know what? Go back to reading your boring book". He said and laid on my bed staring at the ceiling.

"You said her name is Aria, right?" I saw myself asking.

"Yeah, why ask?"

"Just want to keep in mind, in case I sight your friend around".

"Okay".

It was evening and I was done signing all the contracts I have with other kingdoms, except from kingdom of simplicity. Does idiotic fools want the mangrove of this kingdom and I won't give it to them, if it leads to war so be it. They had the thought to assassinate me and here they ask for a request.

There came a knock on the door, bringing me out from my thoughts as I slowly answered.

"Yes".

And then came in my father.
