"You will return... Right?" He asked
"You can't... Betray me . Kiara " He said with a hint of sadness in his eyes .
"I will .... I will come back " I was on the verge of tears "Tell me love , tell me you'll wait for me " I chuckled through my tears...
I was in my trance of thoughts when the door swinged open . The maid - I mean Olive entered the room with a elderly man who has a suitcase like thing in his hand . I guessed he's a doctor cause he didn't have Black hair like Iris for me to presume him as Duke Meckelov. The Doctor looked old , he had wrinkles over his face and wore round glasses which gave him an owl like appearance .
"Milady , Are you awake ?" Olive asked
"Yes" I said , trying to converse as less as possible .
The doctor greeted me and seated himself in the chair besides my bed . He asked some questions and i answered them trying not be suspicious . The doctor concluded his checkup in some time prescribing some tea for stress and anxiety . I really couldn't believe that this body was fine cause i presume the real Iris to be dead or probably in my body as Kiara. Whatever . For now I had to focus on saving my neck from that crooked crown prince .
As the doctor left , Olive approached me as i thought for excuses I may have to tell her for my her prior awkward behaviour .
"Milady , How are you feeling ? Are you dizzy ? Is there any pain ? " She seemed genuinely worried .
" No , I'm okay . I just had a Nightmare . The nightmare was so realistic that it was hard to tell the difference ."
"Oh" she sounded awkward with the current situation .
"Anything else ?" I tried to conclude the conversation . but to my surprise she did had something to say .
"Oh Yes !! You have to go to the palace today , for a tea party organised by the Crown prince . I thought that we may have to skip cause of your health but now it doesn't seems to be a matter . Right?"
"Yes?" I was dumbfounded . I had to do What?! Meet the crown prince ? Today ? I knew i had to meet him but so quick !!
To my misfortune , Olive took my 'Yes' as an positive answer and started preparing for the bath. Well , the sooner the better !! I thought started getting ready for the trip to the palace .

THIS IS HELL!! To the people who think that wearing a saree or lehenga is problematic . Try wearing a corset !! Because I have to meet Royalty . I had to wear an Victorian era dress with a corset that was so tight that even breathing was a struggle and not so comfortable heels which did not use comfy material as the one's in 21st century . And for you information , I was never a Make-up person , but this makeup used over my skin made me feel itchy and irritated . How do women bear with this ?!
I entered the royal palace and i was greeted with two knights in front whom i presumed to be my escorts . one of the knights bowed in front of me and held his hand towards me . I received his hand and he led me inside the Royal palace .
I was nervous and my heart was beating against my chest . I took a deep breath and entered the garden where the tea party was being held . I left the knight there and headed towards the round table surrounded by flowerbeds where three people were seated .
