💫A Life Meant For Me💫

💫🌸Contemptful Gaze🌸💫

Aristia quickly helped Eloria to her feet and dusted her off but she also looked panicked and pale as she did so, how could she not when the source of their turmoil is looking down at them.

"You are before the Royal Prince. Pay your respects." Haren spoke getting their attention.

"Forgive me. Greetings, future sun of the..." Aristia was as pale as snow as she was gripped with anxiety that her doll slipped from her grip.

"Oh no!" She gasped fortunately Eloria caught it and gave her sister a reassuring smile as she returned her doll.

"Apologies....Your Highness but my sister is not well, if you'll excuse us." She curtsied alongside her sister and quickly wanted to make an escape as she couldn't stand being in his presence she she took Aristia' s hand to leave.

"Where is Marquess Keirean? He wasn't inside." Ruveliss said stopping her from moving forward.

"There was an accident during training, so he went to check." She replied.

"Then, I'll wait for him since I'm already here." He said and she visibly frowned.

Time passed as the four of them waited in Keirean's office. Eloria tried her best to distract Aristia from Ruveliss as she showed her magic tricks that she had mastered over the year, but she grew irritated at his incessant staring.

"Your Highness, if you could kindly stop your staring. Not only is it uncomfortable but it is unpleasant." She said as she glared towards him.

"Lady Eloria..." Haren sighed scoldingly.

"Eloria, don't." Aristia paled.

"Leave it." Ruveliss said not wanting another squabble, he had already gotten used to the fact that Eloria will not respect, for mages respect is only given to those who earn it. He discovered this fact when he tried to search for ways to get rid of her, only to find out that there is a signed treaty between the imperial family and Mages to that regard. So it shall be, but those eyes full of hate he could never have expected them to come from her, he could've never imagined it coming from her when they younger.

Ruveliss sat alone at a tea party, he wanted to spend time with His Majesty but he did not come.

"Your Highness."

He turned to see a pink haired child with golden eyes in a wheelchair slowly approach him.

" Don't be sad Your Highness." She smiled as she handed him her doll in hopes to cheer him up." You can have my doll if it will make you feel better." She said.

He also remembers a previous with the older sister, Aristia who sobbed in the bushes during an encounter.

"...You two"

Aristia flinched and Eloria just about prepared herself to defend if he's gonna get mad.

"Still like those kinds of doll, I see." He said.

"Pardon?"

"Excuse me?"

"Hmph." He huffed when he was met with confused gazes.

Is his head okay? Eloria thought as his never shown any interest in what they had expect for when she played pranks about it.

Now that I think about it, what should I plan next? She smirked and Ruveliss felt a chill go down his spine.

Their thoughts were interrupted when Keirean and Duke Verita walked into the office.
