Princess of Hearts

Chapter 2

We arrive at the big kitchen of the Starlux palace and to my surprise there are still a few pieces of dessert left. So I take one, Rose candy with stardust, there is no better dessert.

"Thank you my dear for the dessert, is there a special occasion?" asked my father King Sirius Luciux.

"Come on father don't pretend not to remember," said Astraia, our older sister, "the Celestial ball in 2 days."

"Sure, it's true, sorry your father has a lot of things to solve in his head" replied my father taking another bite of cake.

"Am I too late?" asked Ambrose our dearest and only older brother, he and Astraia are twins with a 15 minute difference.

"Don't worry I saved you a piece" said Calliope my sweet sister, sometimes too sweet for her own good.

"And you'll give me another piece too won't you?" asked Melody with her fourteen years of mischief no wonder she asks the question with a big piece of candy still in her mouth

And Alessia as usual reading a book while eating with some interest but most of her interest is still in her romance book.

To clarify the family line: my father is Starlux King Sirius of Luciux 54 years old, my mother Starlux Queen Flora of Luciux 51 years old and then twins Ambrose and Astraia were born at 27 years old, then Calliope at 24 years old, Alexia at 21 years old, me, Nova, at 19 years old and little Melody at 14 years old. And this is us on a normal day where we can be Luciux's family instead of the real family that has to be and behave a certain way. Really, I love my family and would do anything for them.

Anyway, the Celestial ball in 2 days is a great opportunity to meet gentlemen for my sisters.

"Thank you for the dessert, I love you all very much but there is a matter that I am forced to attend to" I said approaching the hallway with my back turned and with a tired expression which changed as soon as I turned around to one of excitement, just thinking about Damia-xan makes me blush and smile and so I went out to the garden passing between the servants with the excuse of picking flowers for my family.

After running around feeling freer than ever I met the Lord of the wind himself, my beloved, Damia-xan Zephyrin or as I call him Dami. He is the youngest Lord in history as he lost his parents in the war of the Elements in a faraway place called Nexus, since that time he became Lord at the age of 15 and has become very mature for his age. I have learned a lot from him.

He comes from Ventix a small Kingdom hidden in the mountainous shores of our Starlux Kingdom. I don't know how they would react if they knew that I fell in love with Lord Damia-xan so with that in mind as soon as I had him in my grasp I hugged him, I hugged him as if the stars were about to fall or the wind was about to kidnap us with its force.

He just laughed and my world seemed to have more stars than usual. And the smell of the wind sweeter than ever. What would I do without you oh Dami? I wondered hugging him tighter.
