Twins who were brilliant by birth meet the seven people who were just as brilliant and talented as them. But the most brilliant and talented one was one of the twins. The only girl among the mentioned people.
But she was keeping a huge secret withi...
I asked the workers as I ticked off the boxes in my to-do list. They all nodded and explained everything about the tasks and I closed my memopad before nodding.
Ashley : alright. You all are dismissed. Now.. Generals? Did you prepare what I asked you to do?
I asked, tilting my head slightly seeing their gazes fixated at the ground. All the four of them nodded silently making me nod back.
Ashley : alright, dismissed. And remember.. not a word to anyone until.. you know.
I added and I could see the drop of sweat dripping down one of their forehead in this chilling weather which was enough for my confirmation that they, in fact, wouldn't dare go against me. I made my way out of my meeting room, heading towards my bedroom when I stumbled into Asher.
Asher : Hey, Ashi.. um everything alright?
He asked hesitantly. This emotional gap has continued ever since he kept everything from me about his wedding but.. was it the only beginning of it...
Ashley : about your wedding preparations? It is. Now if you'll excuse me?
I walked past him before he could reply and sighed before going to my room. Not my fault, they started it. They're gonna have to end it right? But.. in my way. I kept the memopad aside and changed into something else before pressing the secret button behind my mirror to open a secret passage.

(Since she's a princess, she wears it all the time when she's not in her room.)
Ashley walks out of her room through the secret passage. Her steps confident and head held high as she makes her way to the secret meeting room.
The four generals are there, they stand immediately bowing at her before she sits down at the head of the table and nods.
They all sit soon after as she begins with the meeting. Explaining her plan and around them stood 16 head commanders of 16,000 soldiers, listening attentively to the orders and plan.
All of them gasp collectively hearing what she says next and she simply leans back in her chair, daring them question her and when they stay quiet, she nods.
Ashley : I'm pretty clear about everything now. I don't want even a single mistake. Understand?
They all stand up and bow deeply making her smirk as she gets up and heads back to her room letting the others discuss and prepare the others for the upcoming chaos she wanted to bring upon the Serenity Heavens.
The days turn into weeks and months. No one suspects anything unusual in her behaviour even Liam's suspicions die after a while as he starts avoiding her. Too shameful to meet her gaze again.
He tainted his pure love with his own hands. How could he possibly meet her after all that? How can they go back to being friends after all they did together? Not him.
It's the grand wedding day. Which gets over soon with rituals going on and meeting every King, Queen, Princess and Prince, who arrived at the magnificent wedding.
They all have dinner before heading back. Asher and Aurora too head back to their rooms. Everyone was happy and thriving. They almost forgot about Ashley in all the process.
She didn't mind. She was used to it now. Being pushed in the back. Being forgotten. She waited for a few more days before everything turned back to normal after the wedding.
Reception, done. Farewell, done. The atmosphere has cooled down a bit when she called a family meeting. Everyone gathered in the meeting room. Ashley was already sitting at the head of the table when they started entering one by one.
Shocked at her being disrespectful of who the throne belonged to. They all seated around her, throwing her disapproving looks until Asher arrived at the end with Aurora.
He looked surprised seeing her there but didn't say anything. Taking a seat opposite to her at the other end of the table with his wife. They all looked at each other, wondering what this was about and why there's was such a change in their seating arrangement.
Ashley makes sure everyone is there once again before she leans forward slightly, keeping her intertwined hands on the table in front of her.
Ashley : So now that you all are here. I want to make a proposal. Unless any of you have a reasonable argument, don't open your mouths.
She says simply, not bothering to sugar coat her words as she stares at each of them.
