I wake up with a sudden jolt in the morning. Its Kaidenn at the foot of my bed watching me. I breathe out a huge sigh, I thought that it was someone else.

"Kaidenn what are you doing, in my room?" I whisper-shout at him and he looks down. Its his way of not blushing. I've known him since childhood. No since we were born.

"I'm scared. I am scared Scar. Help me. Please." He looks on the verge of tears. This hasn't happened since we were 12.

"Sure. What's the matter?" He looks at me pleading.

"I don't want to get married. I hate it. I want to be free. She is so boring. Tell dad I don't want to get married. " So he came to dump his problems on me then. I nod in acceptance. Marriage doesn't sound ideal for me either and I think the best thing to do in this scenario would be to be honest.

"I don't want to either." His shock is amusing when he looks at me and says,

"Really? How do you deal with it? Tell me please. I won't say anything, I swear." His words are so pleading that I can't take it any longer.

"I like this one boy..." I blush thinking about him. Wait no, he likes someone else.  Someone, just not me.

"Scar!" He grins and takes a look around my room. He takes a deep breath and murmurs quietly; "There is this one girl in the inner circle that I've had a crush on since forever.." I smile. That's why he doesn't want Annabelle. It's surprising how much the same our lives are, with a tiny twist.

"Who?" I ask grinning, now sitting up in my bed, watching a slow smile creep onto his face. He looks so much older than when I actually looked at him.

"She is the duchess from the Rose and her name is," I cut him off. I know who it is.

Her name is Clara, she is the head of the Rose section. Her mom died a few years ago and her dad is really sick all the time so she rules at a very young age.  I never knew her very well, but Kaidenn knows  her very well. He used to spend weeks at the rose palace. Now thinking back on it he was always gleaming when he came back from there, claiming that he was keeping her company. Now I see that he really liked her.

"Clara is so amazing and I would say go for it, just don't get caught." I wink at him and he returns a grin back, walking out of my room, into the hallway.

I realize that I am in my night clothes to I hurry to change into a navy dress at the end of my closet, strung aside. Its beautiful with full flowing skirts that poof out before me.

I get ready for my day, putting on makeup. I walk out of my room and down the flight of stairs, my flats thudding against the cold hard marble steps. Instead of making my way to the breakfast area I walk to my father's office. He does the most work in the mornings, at night he tends to drink a cup too much and can't focus.

"Father?" I walk in, uninvited, causing my dad to go into a fit. He hates people barging into his office. I sit in the plush leather chair across from him. He frowns at me.

"Yes? Why are you in here?" I look him in the eye. No turning back now.

"I want you to tell me about Quinnson Seventh. How I know him. " My dad's expression changes from frustration to complete and utter shock. I stare at him for a moment until he gets the courage to give me an answer.

"Quinnson was special Scarlett." He lowers his eyes and I stare into him waiting impatiently. "He was born here, he was the heir to the Grecian house, the most powerful house. Now they don't have any children. " I look back at him. Quinn used to be royalty.

"And?"

"And you were engaged to him as a child."
