Chapter Twenty Six
Night Cast
Age 16
Love is a strange thing. You can spend your entire life chasing after it, only for it to destroy you in the end. Such was the case with Prince Mildred.
Tall, mysterious, did I mention gorgeous? While his skin is the color of midnight and silence, his blue eyes had a warm glow to them.
I loved how he would ruffle his long fingers through his fluffy black hair when he was nervous. He was doing that now for my sister.
Princess Hazel might be my best friend, but recently, she only aggravated me. I rolled my eyes as Mildred picked a daisy from the palace gardens and tucked it behind Hazel's ear.
It wasn't surprising that he was enamored with her. She was known throughout the kingdom to be the most beautiful woman in the land.
With her long blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Not to mention her rose colored cheeks. No blush is needed. It wasn't surprising at all that a prince like Mildred would be attracted to her.
What was surprising was how he came to favor me. I was nothing special, especially compared to my sister. I was shorter and definitely pudgier. My long black hair was unmanageable, brown eyes were nothing special, and besides all that, I felt sick whenever I tried to force myself into pink frilly dresses.
Mildred didn't seem to mind, though. We had actually become quite close as of late. Friends even. Close ones? Maybe. Anything beyond that was forbidden, though. Because Mildred was betrothed to my sister.
