Behind The Throne

II

Aurora's POV

I arrived to where my parents were sitting and there was Sebastian faking a smile to everyone including my parents. The crowded room soon was quite as the voice of my father was heard.

"I would like everyone to feel welcome and as many of y'all should now know the reason why we have this occasion is to announce the union of the crowns of Luxembourg and Livano. My beloved daughter,Princess Aurora and the Duke Of Luxemburg are engaged."

Everyone started clapping and cheering because it meant alliance but for me it meant my death.

To hide that feeling I smile to everyone and hold hands with Sebastian as a sign of "love".

The beautiful white diamond place on the ring that he gave shine so brightly with other smaller pieces in the color of green and red ,the two official colors of both kingdoms. But all it is a a piece of rock put together and giving me misery.

"Congratulations Princess." I head Lady Liza say
"Thanks ,I'm so delighted with the fact that I'm getting married,if you'd excuse me I would like to get some fresh air from the the excited I have"

L-I-E-S

I ran towards the palace garden a very big but peaceful place. Thinking on how everything is one big lie in our relationship. I continue walking towards the area on which the roses grew and began talking to them and cut one. "You are so beautiful...yet so dangerous",I said

My eyes drifting from the rose to the entrance of the royal kitchen where two figures stood there talking. I decided to find out who were they and went towards the place and that's when I saw my mother's best friend since childhood,Fernanda and a man of nearly my age probably in his early 20s.

Fernanda has become the aunt I never had. She is one of the closest and loyal friends my parents have. She had her back facing the entrance and the man saw me so I signal him as a sign to keep quite so I could be able to scare her. But my plan failed....she had already saw me.

"Aurora,my beautiful child what are you doing here instead of being in the party." "Just here trying to not think about my misery in this relationship"

"Child ,let me present you to my son,Leonardo"

"Hi,welcome"

"Leonardo this is the child I've been telling you about. Our future Queen."

"Your highness...I'm so sorry for my rudeness" he began to apologize

"Forget the highness rule and just call me by my name" I told him friendly with a smile

Leonardo's POV

She signal me to keep quite to scare my mother but to her luck it failed. My mother introduced us and I had my first encounter with the future queen in a rude way without curtesy as a rule is told.
She is so beautiful. Blue eyes but those eyes hold oceans from tears she's cried from sadness. All royals seem spoiled and acted like they are better than everyone because they have riches but not her..she seems different.

Sebastian's POV

"Where is Aurora,Anne?" I ask Anne trying to hide the fury. Its been long since she went to get air and hasn't come back. " I don't know sir..."

Then what are they here for if they don't know where the heck she is.Stupid worthless servants.
I ask some maids if they had seen her and one said that she saw her walking to the kitchen area of the palace .

"What are you doing here with the maids?" She was shock my poor soon to be wife is shocked to see her favorite person ...I love her too

"Chatting with my aunt.Would you like to join,a chair? No ...alrighty then feel free to stand there" she said

Stupid little girl is trying to act funny but she'll get what she deserves in a few moments. She wants to have control in her fear but I can sense her fear,she can't hide them. And that worthless man next her had his smile disappeared from his face when he saw me.
