Queen Diana looks through the bed side table next to her huge bed looking for something to help her with her plan she had formed ever since the idea of an arranged marriage pooped up i mind "where is it" she whispers to herself searching high and low left to right until she spots it "hello my little precious it's about time you come out to play" she smiles with a devilish look shining in her eyes.
Octavia talks to King Jules about how she wanted to contact her cousins missing their presence already even though it has been only two days since they last got to speak to each other in person "they have been texting me that they want to meet up and I really want to I can even take a bodyguard with me for protection" she pleads giving him her best puppy eyes just to persuade him. King Jules huffs but agrees anyways but only if she brings the best bodyguard with her which she didn't mind "thank you so much father" she kisses his cheek before jogging up to her room looking for an outfit to wear.
Princess Octavia showers then changes into the outfit she chose which is a beige dress with a halter top and black laced heels for her makeup she does a natural look finally she curls her brown locks letting it lose then grabs her black clutch before heading out meeting her personal bodyguard for the day "oh why hello Lincoln are you my bodyguard?" she asks tilting her head to the side.
"Yes your highness I am" he smiles, Lincoln is Princess Octavia's personal favorite guard she can just talk to him freely about anything "where will we be heading today?" Octavia smiles.
"I'm going to have branch with my dearest cousins at Cafe Brulee" Lincoln nods then opens the limo door for her, Princess Octavia gracefully slides in while Lincoln closes the door for her as he walks to the drivers side before sliding in himself driving to their location. On time they arrive spotting the twins waiting patiently outside sitting down at their table sipping on coffee "oh I've missed them so much" Princess Octavia tells Lincoln causing him to chuckle.
"Last time I've been around them they tried to beat me at a wrestling match" remembering the days back then when everything was fine before the whole marriage thing happened "they don't seem to change" he opens the door for her escorting the Princess to her only friends.
"OCTAVIA" they both shout in unison making Princess Octavia laugh hugging them with a sweet smile "we need all the details girl" they say in sync again as if they practiced each line.
"Okay I will tell you everything that happened just keep your voices down we don't want to attract any audience" the Princess chuckles taking a seat. She tell the both well three including Lincoln who's eavesdropping on their conversation about how their date went and when any paparazzi tries to secretly take a picture of me Lincoln would ask them to give him the camera like a protective older brother she doesn't have "and I kissed him on the cheek before going to sleep since there was no ball due to our date" Princess Octavia finishes her story.
"Wait a minute you as in Octavia the fierce and non romantic girl kissed the Prince Nicholas" Daniel tries to get things straight and Princess Octavia nods trying so hard to hold back a blush that wants to reach her cheeks "and did you feel a spark?" he interrogates his cousin with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know Danny it was quick kiss on the cheek before I rushed back into my chambers before I embarrass myself even more" she shrugs checking the time on her phone "oh guys as much as I want to talk to you guys the whole day I got to go and get ready for another high tea" Princess Octavia gets up pulling down her dress that has risen up. She hugs her cousins goodbye telling them to have a safe trip home. She gets into the limo thinking about what Daniel had said did I feel anything at all? his words on repeat in her head. Princess Octavia wanted to ask Lincoln a single question but that question could lead to many answers that Princess Octavia might not be ready for.
"It seems like you have a lot on your mind Princess" Lincoln looks at his rear view mirror taking a glance at Octavia with a worried expression plastered on his face "you know you can tell me anything right?" he says. The Princess nods her head understandingly avoiding his glances.
"I know but it's just I'm afraid that the question I want to ask you and the answer you'll give me is just I don't know I might not be ready for it... the answer" she looks down fiddling with the hem of her dress. Her bodyguard/chauffeur sighs.
"Princess Octavia you can ask me anything no matter what the answer I give you you're a strong young women" at his words Octavia smiles her dimples showing.
"This is why I like you to be my bodyguard" he chuckles at her eyes on the road "I'll tell you the question when I'm ready" she assures him with her beautiful smile.
When the limo comes to a stop and Princess Octavia gets out she waves Lincoln bye stepping into the castle grounds with a big smile on her face that could light up the room within seconds at how big her smile was "oh hey there Princess" Aaron looks up from the book he was reading "you look quite happy at" he checks the time "nine in the morning " he raises a brow making her chuckle. Princess Octavia shakes her head "what can't talk because you might fall for my charms?" Aaron teases causing her to laugh softly.
"More like trying to find a spell somewhere in my brain to end my misery" her comeback makes Aaron chuckle "well I mean it's the truth" she shrugs jokingly.
"Hey Aaron I found out" Prince Nicholas looks up walking back around the corner peeking at his best friend and fiance interact laughing and smiling. Something runs through his veins the unfamiliar feeling makes him wonder if he's going crazy.
"I don't know are we friends? are we enemies since I'm best mates with Prince Nicholas" Aaron asks quizzically.
"me neither but I'd like to get to know you better and maybe even be friends but I don't know" her voice unsure friends? is he actually going to think about it? the Prince thinks to himself eyebrows knitted together.
"Maybe I'll think about it" Aaron gives her his signature smile that could win a girls hear in a microsecond but it doesn't affect her.She returns a smile telling him that she had to get ready leaving him with a book in his hand "did you just see that" he turns to the Prince round the corner with a shocking expression "she didn't fall for my charms" Nicholas clenches his fist behind his back.
"Why would you want her to fall for your charms exactly?" Prince Nicholas forces out a sentence.
"to make her fall for me and you won't have to marry her of course" Aaron says simply.
"And break her heart in the end?" his hands still clenched in a fist.
"Well unless we fall for each other then no" Aaron walks away continuing to read his book break her heart? why do I care? do I want to marry her? the questions just seem to suffocate him making him doubt his decisions.\
