Be My Princess: ~2:51~

Chapter 16: Tears

Brienna's POV...

"You're an awful person to be with!" I stomped my foot on the ground and yelled at Keith. "Seriously, is this how you are after kissing me?" The bemused smirk was still on his lips as we stood face to face.

"You really are too uptight." He pinched my nose shut as he spoke made me realise that what had just happened was just a joke to him. Anger boiled inside of me as he still stood happily looking at me.

"You disgraceful retch!" I tried not to raise my voice but it still did. "You were just trying to get my reaction, weren't you?" I finally calmed down a bit.

"Of course, I did. What did you think I was doing?" He smiled and tucked his hands into his front pockets. "You weren't thinking I was just going to take you on the ground, were you?"

"O most certainly was not," I glared at him with hatred and turned around, decided to walk away before any of this will get worse.

"Hold it,"

I ignored him and continued to walk onwards.

"Brienna, I said hold it!" A rough hand pulls me around. I stood face to face to Keith's angry face as he places his hand on my shoulders.

"Is there something you want?" I was wasting my time.I add better things to be doing than facing an angry boyfriend.

"We're going to Philip. Get your things ready; we are leaving after lunch."

Third Person

Orange, red, yellow was the only thing that can be seen in the sky. Colourful clouds made everything look beyond the world making it look magical. A certain dirty blonde sat with her chin on her palm staring at the sky, wondering what Philip will offer her.

On the other hand, Keith—the overly angry man at the moment—was stuck signing papers. He right next to Brienna as he furiously read the stack of paperwork, hurrying to complete them.

They—the prince and his princess—were on their way to Philip for the celebration of the long-lost princess of Philip who will be turning 23.

Twirling a glass of gold liquid in her hand, she crosses her legs and drowns it.

"You shouldn't be drinking now. Wee have a party to attend to." Keith leans back and scolds her. Almost all of the papers were done and there was only about an hour left to complete it.

"Should I now?" Glancing back at him, her eyes were lighter than before.

"Don't give me that! If you were to embarrass me then that will ruin my reputation!"

Ignoring him, Brienna stares out the window yet again and having Kaori fill her glass when she finishes drinking it.

Brienna's POV...

Does any of that truely matter at the moment? Yes, it does. They will reveal themselves that the ball, that is a fact. There will be a high chance that they will announce who I really am, who I truely was. In front of all the high standing nobility of Philip, my parents, my brothers, Riri, Keith, I don't deserve their trust.

I clutch the stem of the glass tighter, or should I not attend. It will end out suspiciously, there is still a chance that they will find out it's me. I look back at Keith to see him focusing intensely on his paperwork. With a weak smile, my eyes began to water.

If I am to leave now, I will loose everything important to me. But yet, why am I hiding again? What was the main purpose of mine to reveal dead to society?! My teeth clench, should I have not stayed hidden?

I thrust forward the wine glass to Kaori, knowing full well that some spilt on Keith's paperwork.

"Hey! Look at what yo—"

But if I did, I will not meet Keith. Hot tears spill out of my eyes. I didn't wipe it, I let it flow freely, down my cheeks, to my pointed chin and to my lap, staining the beige dress I wore.

"Look at me," With fingers resting on my chin, I have torn away from the blurred scenery. "So you really are crying."

If he truly finds out who I was, will he still accept me? Small flashback of us spend time together played my mind.

"You really are annoying." His arms lace around my waist and pulled me to him, forcing me to rest my chin on his right shoulders.

I know, I already know. The tears seemed endless, I couldn't remember how my I cried before.
