Behind The Throne

IV

Sebastian's POV

Everyone has left now and the maids are cleaning. I went to my room and started drinking liquor. My beautiful Aurora won't be for anyone else. She is the key for my rise to power and I won't lose that opportunity.

Fernanda's POV

I have told Adela that this marriage is a mistake and we should do something to stop that man to harm our little angel. We still aren't sure how that is gonna work but it's our promise we won't let Aurora be harm. My child,Leonardo has come here to get a job in the palace and I'm sure the sovereigns won't deny for him to get the job as the palace's gardener. Since he was little he has always had a passion for gardening. After we both left Aurora's room,I ask Adela if I could have a small talk with her and she told me to follow her to her room.

"Fernanda,what is it that you need to tell me?"

"Oh,I just wanted to tell ask if my son could take the job as the place gardener. Look I know you have many servants already working in the palace but an extra help won't mind. I would be very thankful if you'd-

"I understand he has the job already...I'd be gladly to accept him to work at the palace nothing better than an extra help in the big garden. And I trust him that my plants won't die in his hands."

"Thank you very much,I don't know how to pay you for this."

"You have already payed me by giving me your absolute loyalty and friendship"

🌾Palace Gardens 🌾

Aurora's POV

After last night's argument with Sebastian I decided it would best if I'd take a walk around the palace to clear my mind a little bit. Just to distract me from my wedding that I have been wanting all my life. The garden is so beautiful and my favorite place in the palace. It is cover with plants of all kinds. Including Roses,Gardenias,Lilys,Poppies,Tulips,
Irises,Lavenders,and the list goes on and on. Also to mention all the food we consume is being grown inside this palace. I then saw Leonardo,which I thought he had already left but then I thought he probably has gotten a role in this palace and I really wanted to apologize for what Sebastian said and probably that made him feel bad.

"Hi,Leonardo",I said smiling

"Princesss?"

"Shut up...its Aurora to you"

"Right sorry Princ- I mean Aurora"

"I would like to apologize for yesterday-

"There's nothing to apologize for

"Yess! There is my fiancé was rude yesterday. And what he said...even though he has a title or money he has no right in treating others bad."

"It's okay,you don't have to worry about it wasn't you whom committed those action."

"Alright again sorry ....those roses are so beautiful....can you do me a favor."

"Of course and what would it be?"

"Can you cut three roses of the colors red,pink,and white please."

"Yes...in a minute hold up...beautiful roses for another very beautiful rose"

He call me beautiful...no one of my opposite gender have called me beautiful that they actually truly mean it other than my closest friends and parents. Everyone else I feel like they are hypocrites. Sadly this society everyone has shown their true colors,promising a world full of dreams but once you get to know them they unleash the true intentions completely shattering your dreams.

Leonardo's POV

Yesterday night my mother came so happy to the servant department in the palace and I ask her why was the cause and once she told me we both were sharing the same feeling. She told me that I had receive a place here as a gardener. Aurora had come to apologize for what her fiancé said but honestly I didn't care about the apology I just care if he had hurt her but she never mention anything pertained to it. She asked me if I could do her a favor and I gladly said yes...to cut roses for her. Then that's when I told her that she was beautiful. She truly is one of Of kind even though I don't know her that much and to say that I have feelings for her is too early but it doesn't matter she's engage. And no lady with an important title would ever fall in love with someone poor and no one like me.
