"Jeez don't tell me I have to see his ugly face for the rest of the journey." I intentionally whispered loudly.

"Did you just call me ugly?" I heard his hiss. Ah, such good entertainment!

"Well, I won't be calling myself ugly will I?" I smiled. Now get annoyed enough to leave me alone and not show your face to me again.

"Why you-" Orion just hissed at me. After all he wanted to come with me on his own so he needs to endure the torture.

"No wonder you are not popular~" I chuckled.

"As if you are pretty popular?" he shot back, but I just smiled at him.

"Well, I did receive 143 marriage proposals." I shot back, and bullseye! His face distorted in anger.

"So you aren't engaged yet?" he asked.

"Among the 143 ones, none of them were perfect." I sighed.

"Oh really, was it because none of them were perfect or was it because they were not the crown prince Lucian?" he asked. And this time my face got distorted. Not in anger but in disgust.

Crown prince Lucian, my mortal enemy whom I hate with all my heart.

"Why will I wait for that piece of shit?" I yelled at him.

"Oh right, you forgot your memories." he muttered to himself.

"You don't like the crown prince?" he asked.

"Why should I like that shit?" I yelled.

"Lower your voice, we are outside and we can't curse at the imperial family like that." Orion hissed at me.

"So why do you hate him?" Orion asked oddly interested on the topic. In the novel it was never mentioned that Evanora liked the crown prince. Maybe it wasn't important as she got married to Cirillo anyways.

"Is there anything to like about him anyways!" I replied.

"Can't argue with that." he said as I nodded with him.

After that, me and Orion formed a truce for having mutual hatred for the crown prince.

...

The busy streets filled with all high class aristocats minding their own business. The marketplace and the shopping area for the high class nobles are one of the best places where rumours spread the most. Count's daughter's new boyfriend. The latest break up of the second son of Marquess McMillar. Commotion created at the Viscount's household. The crown prince is looking for a fiance. Baron's daughter pretending to be crazy and whatnot.

But today, the gossip was about something totally different as everyone's eyes were fixed on the blue and black carriage which stopped at the shopping area.

"Who can it be?"

"Looks like it's someone from wealthy house"

"Hey! It has Esmeray duchy's carriage, look at the black and blue design."
