ALORA EMBRY
Damien escort me, and we head to the room next to the hall, everyone was already there.
"Oh, Sir Damien, Lady Alora." We bow our heads to each other and I smile at her.
"Hello, Lady Britta."
"I was surprised when the Crown Prince invited me to this banquet, unexpectedly right?"
"Yes, so who are the students that were invited?" I ask her and he looked at Damien.
"I'd like to talk to Lady Alora alone will you allow me?"
"Sure. I'll see you later." he bows his head and leaves us alone.
"It's just the Eyron and Capell and some well-known family and the light user."
"It's not surprising to hear that."
"You know that I like the Crown Prince but why does that Lady didn't leave the Crown Prince's side?" she look at the Crown Prince and there I saw Leticia beside him. When our eyes met, she said something to the Crown Prince.
"And what will you do?" she looks at me and shrugs her shoulders.
"She's just a commoner with a light magic but I can't lay a finger on her, and I do feel that she's ahead of me. I hate this feeling, sad, angry, probably jealous."
"Why don't you tell your feelings?"
"I'm scared." I stared at her for a minute. "Everyone thinks the Crown Prince was attractive to her."
"We didn't know if he does."
"Well, yeah..."
"Lady Alora." I look at Leticia and she bows her head. "Greetings to Lady Alora and Lady Britta."
"Yeah."
"Greetings Miss Leticia, do you need anything from Lady Alora?"
"There's nothing I just want to greet you two." I just nod at her.
"Then please excuse me I need to find Damien."
"Wait Lady Alora don't leave me." Leticia bow her head once again and we turned our backs to her. "So cold." She giggled beside me. "I forget to ask this where did you go, you're gone for a month you know."
"I was bored so I decide not to attend class."
"Gosh, I didn't know it was allowed to do it."
"But I recommend to the Lady to not do it." She laughed and nodded.
"I want to try once."
"Damien let's just leave." I just want to leave my blood was boiling just by seeing her.
"Let's greet the Crown Prince first." I nod and we go in front of the Crown Prince.
"I greet the Crown Prince, thank you for inviting us."
"We will about to leave now."
"Why? The banquet will now start, and I will announce something later."
"If you say so Your Highness." we curtly bow our heads and take our seats. The maids started to bring the food and we all ate.
"Everyone must be surprised by this sudden invitation, next month will be the anniversary of the Academy. And the Head Master said that there is a sword competition. We will invite the head from different houses and will hold a banquet, and please do invite your family." and the maids distributed the letter.
"So, the students who are in this room will join in the sword fighting?"
"Ah yes if you want. Lady Britta, will you join the sword fighting?"
"I'll pass Your Highness, I'm not really skilled in sword fighting," she asked the ladies there and everyone didn't want to join.
"Lady Alora what about you would you like to join?"
"Sure, Your Highness."
"Great the Emperor and Empress will be delighted to see you all."
"Are your father coming?" Damien asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know." the Crown Prince continue what he was saying and we were all just silently eating while listening.
"Lady Alora you are really sure?"
"Yes, I'm curious about the match."
"What? Let's just watch on the crowd."
"But I already said yes don't worry I will be alright."
"Lady Alora your family is coming right?" I look at His Highness.
"I still don't know."
"What about you Sir Damien?"
"My mother will probably attend."
"Oh."
"Britta let's go." Then Daniel Markley appeared.
"Goodbye Lady Alora, Sir Damien."
"Goodbye, Lady Britta." she wave her hands and I smiled at her. Then Leticia approach me again.
"Lady Alora your parents will attend, right? Me and my parents will apologize to your family."
"You don't have to do that, let's go Alora," Damien said and I surprisingly look at him.
"But..." he pulled me and sigh. He escort me back to my room and he was frowning.
"Heh, look at your face."
"I'll go now."
"Good night, Sir Damien." I laugh and kiss him on the cheek.
"Good night." I smiled at him and closed the door. I sent the invitation to father and they still haven't sent a reply if they will attend.
One week before the anniversary they already started to prepare. And the students who joined in the competition are practicing really hard.
"I'm worried that you will lose."
"Huh they are not Brothers so there's no need to worry, I only lose to Brother Kaden and Brother Kio."
"But I saw you practicing in your room." my eyes widened and I punch his arm. "Ouch, you still haven't changed."
"Is it good or bad?"
"A bad thing imagine hitting me every day my poor delicate skin." he wiggled his eyebrows and laughed.
"I will be in the library so start moving now, the ladies who like Sir Damien are already here." I tease him and look at the ladies who were watching Damien from afar.
"Wait I'll go with you."
"Finish practicing, see you later." he just nod and I go to the library, and to my surprise, I saw Frederick there.
"Lady Alora."
"Greetings Sir Frederick."
"Lady Alora that night I'm sorry if I was late, I'm really sorry if I wasn't there to save you."
"Forget it, you don't have to say sorry."
"I'm ashamed to go near at you, I apologize." I frown and avert my eyes.
"It's fine, please excuse me."
"Lady Alora." he held my hand and I stared at him. He gave me a red chrysanthemum and stare right into my eyes. "Lady Alora I... I've always liked you. No, I l-love you!"
"Eh?"
Damn, so he did fall for me, since when did it start?
