Where is she?" The 4th prince questioned. With a smile, Bo bowed.
"She is coming this way sir." Bo said. The 4th Prince hummed and turned away, attempting to seem unbothered. Footsteps were heard outside the door, then, a knock. Bo rushed to open the door. I walked in, Bella following behind me. I stomped my foot upon entering.
"You!" I said pointing at him. Bella quickly tried to lower my hand.
"M-Miss! This is the 4th Prince-"
"I know who he is! Leave us!" I said angrily. Bella, unsure looked back at the 4th Prince, then at me.
"But, Miss-"
"Leave!" Bella bowed towards the Prince before leaving. The 4th Prince finally looked up, a bored expression on his face. I furrowed my brows.
"Bo, leave us." He said. Bo bowed before leaving the room and closing the door. The 4th Prince looked back at the papers on his desk. Half-ignoring my presence.
"What can I help you with, Black Jade" He said. I crossed my arms.
"Why was I not made aware of the change in my schedule? And why must I train here?" I said irritated. He looked up at me, his grey eyes focused on mine. Quickly loosing my composure, I turned away. Suddenly, he stood up from his desk. I backed away quickly and bowed.
"Y-Your highness, what I mean to say is-"
"You are going to be my wife, correct?" He suddenly said. I pursed my lips. Slowly, I nodded. He began walking towards me. I cursed inwardly.
'Ive gone and done it now! Why must I have such a big mouth!'
"Yes your highness, however-"
"What? You still have objections?" He said, squinting his eyes towards me. I pulled back once more.
"Y-Your Highness, I just feel as though it would be, improper, If I am taught here instead of with the other ladies." I said meekly.
"Improper?" He scoffed. "I am a Prince, are you saying my actions are improper?"
"Yes- I mean, No! O-of course not." I stammered.
"Then what is the problem?" He said, growing agitated. I bit my lip and looked down.
'C'mon Eva, say something, anything!' I scold myself.
"I- I would like to learn from the other girls!" I said.
"You will have a teacher, there will be no need."
"B-but, I need to make socialize! I need to make sure I will not be picked on."
"They would dare pick on you knowing your title?" He opposed once more. I stood there for a moment. I looked at him again, However, he was staring at me with a smile!
My face heated and I quickly looked away.
"Your Highness, you have work that needs to be done, I wouldn't want to interrupt that." I said.
"Miss Eva." He suddenly said. My heart skipped a beat hearing him call my name. I instantly looked up at him.
"I should be able to make time for my fiancee." He stated. My brain almost stopped functioning.
'Fiancee?!?!' I thought. I quickly cleared my throat and turned away. 'This prince, he is too handsome!'
"A-Alright." I said. Quickly, I bowed before turning away. As I was about to leave the room, I remembered something.
"Is something wrong?" The Prince said, I could hear the amusement dripping off his words. I still turned around, My eyes focused on the floor.
"T-The gifts, um." I started. I looked up at him to see him staring at me already. I bowed again before running out of the room.
"Miss? Are you alright?" I didnt answer her, instead I walked towards the entrance of the manor.
"Training is later in the day. Lets go back and rest." I said. She bowed.
"Yes miss."

I scoffed once seeing her retreating figure.
'That girl..' I thought to myself. As I was about to sit back down, I heard loud voices from outside. I hissed.
"So early in the morning.. Bo!" I called for him, instead, there was no response. Clicking my tongue, I stood up and opened the door. My eyes widened.
Just beyond the entrance, Miss Eva stood, her handmaid in front of her with her arms outstretched.
"10th Consort! Please forgive my lady! She only came here recently and does not-"
"Move out of the way! You dare disrespect me!? I am the wife of the 10th Prince!" I heard. I sighed inwardly. The 10th Consort was hotheaded and violent. She had a horrible temper and it was known around the palace. But her beautiful face was enough to bewitch Evan, the 10th Prince. He quickly married her, making her the 10th consort.
'She can handle herself.." I thought as I was about to turn around. From the corner of my eye, I watched as Miss, Eva was suddenly jerked by the arm. My fists clenched.
