A Deal With Satan

The Official Meeting

A Picture Of Sera And Freya ^^^

Sera Jones' P.O.V:-
After finishing all of our classes, Freya and I walk back towards the room we were sharing. Indeed it was small, I had to accept what I had and make the best of it.

Suddenly I hear my new phone bing. I expect it to be Carl because he is the only one who had my number apart from Sera who was already with me.

I read it out loud to Sera:

UNKNOWN

You're highness, it would be a pleasure to meet you right now @ the nearby Rover's lake, if that's not a problem.
-Aiden Ross.

"Ooh, time for the official meet. I'd love to see his face when he realises that you're the princess. " Sera thinks out loud, with a little chuckle.

"Come on 'girl'." I say, emphasising on girl for she had been nagging me to improve my English.

She directs me towards the lake which might I tell is a pretty good place Aiden had chosen as it was almost isolated. We notice him standing facing his back to us, smoking a cigarette.

"Aiden Ross?" I call out with my 'official' voice.

What?

Everyone has that official voice, right ?

He turns immediately with a fake smile which wears out as soon as he notices it's us.

"What do you want? Were you two following me? Sorry, I'm not in a mood for a threesome. " he says, annoyed.

I wonder what threesome means but I didn't ask him after that terrible incident earlier. Freya did at last tell me what the F word meant and I swear I wouldn't ever use it.

So instead, "Wouldn't you want to meet the princess ?" Is what I say with a winning smile.

His expression drops and he says, "Wait,what? You mean to say you're the princess." He stares, just plain stares.

"Yes." I smile again.

Wohoo look whose winning !
That's right, I am.

"Well, you're too ugly to be one. But okay, as I'm supposed to guide you around and be you're 'paid' bodyguard; I expect you to come on time wherever I say."

I frown. How can someone be this arrogant ? Shouldn't there be a law against this?

"No mister, you do whatever she says." Speaks up Freya for the fist time in awhile.
That's Freya for you, always ready to pick up a fight.

"Too much anger darling? Not nice." Answers Aiden.

"Too much cockiness, not good either." Replies Freya.

The two of them keep bickering when I finally get over the fact that some one for the first time in my life back answered while talking to me, I speak up, " Listen. I need you to listen fine, with you're ears wide open. First, Stop with that attitude of yours, won't get you anywhere. Second, you go when and where I say and lastly, you accept the first as I pay you for this. Just because you're Carl's nephew, a man I truly respect; don't think that I won't tell you anything when you clearly disrespect me."

Both of them just look at me with shocked eyes however Aiden recovers faster that Freya. He's got a reputation to maintain, isn't it ?

"Whatever. I want all cash" Aiden replies and walks off.

"I want a tour tomorrow morning at 5am." I yell out to him.

He stops in his tracks, turns and says, "Wouldn't that be too early?"

"I like early." I simply reply.

He grunts and walks off.

As soon as he's out of sight, Freya asks, "Wow, you're turning into a sass monster. I likeyy! "

I just laugh it off and and start walking towards our room thinking how meeting Aiden has been the worst part I've faced ever since I left my empire.

But it's the promise of a princess that I'm going to show him his right place.
