chapter 12

C12:Territory

I didn't think the man even had a heart, in all the time that I had spend with him, and it Was short, but somehow I always thought that something was wrong, he seemed so alien.

But right now in front of me, he held a smile that brighten up the room, cheesy I know.

"May we be excused "I told Fiona and the Lady behind me, they walked out of the room immediately.

"Wow and here I was thinking I will have to save you my knight in distress" when I spoke he stood, gave a small smile to the little child that he had been talking to.

"You are here?" He asked and I smiled slightly at him."ofcause I'm here, this is my misery, and if anything, I would be the princess charming and you my love, my gentlemen in distress" I told him while giving him the hugest grin I could.

Although he did not want to, his mouth gave in and caved slightly at the end, he wanted to laugh but he was holding back, something told me that like me, he had managed to seal all his feelings and locked them away.

"If you must know, there is no such thing, the Prince always saves the Princess" he told me, his cool exterior was back."someone has been watching Disney." I told him and he frowned.

"What's his name?" I asked, he looked confused for a moment before he realized what I was talking about, again his face lit up, I did not know why I felt as though the child reminded him of an old memory.

"Alexander." He told me and I simply nodded, we stood there in silence looking at each other, I noticed that he had a scar under his chin, and it did not escape my mind that everytime I looked at the men, I seemed to discover a new feature about him, his whole face just called you to look at it.

He was a handsome guy, or was it just my hormones kicking in?. When I heard Fiona's high pitched voice, I couldn't be glad for her distraction." Princess, your sister just called, you have a meeting with the media regarding the announcement of your engagement" she told me, although my eyes should have shifted to her, they seemed clued at the strange men in front of me.

"Ok, is that all?" I question her,"yes, but they require the presence of your fiancè" she continued and I nodded, then she turned back and left.

"Are you ok?" I asked, truely, I wanted to know what was keeping from being happy. "I mean, are you ok with the interview? "I refrased my question.

"Alex."a kid run up to him and he smiled down at him, and my heart melted, yep my hormones where defnetly out of control. "Wont you play with us" the child asked softly, Alexander picked him up and smiled again, damn I need the child to tell me the secret. "Ok, let us go and play"

I watched as he walked away, and for the time being ,I continued with what I was here for. After an hour at the orphanage, Alexander and I made our way back to the palace.

The interview was to be held there. When we arrived everything was in place, the cameras and all, as for me, I was shoved to yet another dress. Currently I was wearing a knee length dark green lace dress that had long sleeves and a pair of black heels. the dress I couldn't complain about, but the shoes where not me at all.

I walked into the room full of people who the moment I sat foot, started to attach me with make up right, left and centre. After about thirty minutes of torture I was finally free. This was the reason why I left in the first, no one asked me if I was comfortable in that dress, in those shoes or with make up, I felt like a rag doll.

"Princess Veronica of Cassavanna." The interviewer smiled at me, I wanted to roll my eyes so badly, but I didn't because like I said, here duty came before my feelings.
"Hie. ...." I trailed off, because I had no idea who she was. "Oh, how can I not introduce myself, I'm Sandy ,Sandy Yimlar, I work for You magazine." She smiled her blinding smile, and I shock her hand. " Nice to meet you Sandy." I told her.
"Now where is the man of the moment, your knight in shinning armour." Then she giggled, really I was annoyed to the end.
"I am sure he is still dressing up, Fiona please call my fiancè." I told her then smiled a little.

After 5 minutes of waiting, heavens knows what Fiona and Grey where doing to take this long!, they finally graced us with their lovely presence. Grey.....I mean Alexander came wearing a pair of dark jeans, a man's v-neck with long sleeves and snikers, from where I was standing , he was looking hot and extremely uncomfortable, I wanted to laugh so bad, but I frowned instead when I saw Sandy plain right eye raping him, clearing my throat, she snapped out of it and smiled.

"Ah! You must be the fiancè, I must say, you have choice princess." I wanted to murder her, really in front of me, at the moment I didn't even care that the relationships was all a pretence, I was a princess and I deserve to be treated as such. "Well thank you, come my love, won't you sit down with me." I said walking up,and pulling the tall, handsome, uncomfortable looking man down with me, hooked my hand with his and smiled at the reporter with my innocent Princess look.

"Shall we proceed then?" I asked still with a smile on my face.Grey looked confused at our linked hands, Sandy looked annoyed and I was plain right showing her who the princess around her was.
