Prince Aaron dragged Ophelia to a carriage outside and took her to the palace in silence . Ophelia couldn't even process what had happened and that she was in carriage with the prince , on top of that , she actually played the crying card like her half-sister did .
While Ophelia was still processing , Prince Aaron took the chance to observe her as if to figure out how the following two weeks would be like , but all in vain .
Soon they arrived at the palace and got off . Ophelia just stood there staring the palace in awe . Previously , she thought the Campbelle mansion was already so huge , but in front of the palace , the Campbelle mansion was trash .
The palace was mainly a mix of red and gold giving off a noble and elegant aura . While the outside gave an elegant and noble aura , the inside was actually giving off a cozy and warm aura with furniture that made the place more colorful while there were dragons on the walls . It was all something that Ophelia couldn't have imagined in her wildest dreams .
Prince Aaron just took her inside and then gave instructions to a maid beside them while Ophelia was too busy checking out the place in awe .
" Emma will escort you to your room and will call you when dinner is ready . " Prince Aaron was a man of a few words and the fact that he talked with someone this much was a shock to the whole palace . His parents were equally shocked when they thought that it would be hard to get them to fall in love while they were in the carriage behind them the whole time .
Ophelia was escorted to her room and when she was going to thank the maid , " Humph ! Don't think you're going to be the queen only because the prince chose you . Only Miss. Betha was qualified to stand by his highness ! " Then she turned around , leaving a confused Ophelia behind .
" Did I say that ? Seems like the stay here won't be very pleasing , after all . " Ophelia sighed and then some maids enter the room and started to prepare the bath while another maid put a change of clothes on the bed . A huge question mark was on Ophelia's head while all of this commotion was happening , for a while she actually felt invisible .
After she took a bath and changed her clothes , she finally took a good look at the room she was going to use for two weeks . Unlike the outside , the room was painted in white with a mix of other bright colors to give off a comfortable feeling . The furniture was of highest quality too while the room had the space of two rooms together in Campbelle mansion with a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom . Ophelia found it more comfortable than her old " room " .
Soon Emma came to call her for dinner while throwing daggers at her until they went downstairs . Ophelia was greeted with bright smiles except for Prince Aaron , who was as expressionless and cold as usual .
" Greetings , your majesties . Greetings , your highness . " Ophelia tried bowing gracefully since she never met the rulers of the Kingdom before .
" Come , sit next to me , Ophelia . " Queen Eve was very welcoming and invited her to sit next to her . Ophelia obeyed the queen and dinner went by fast , of course while the prince wasn't talking .
After dinner , King Alexander and Queen Eve dragged her to talk together in the living room , with of course , the silent prince .
Time went by , and Ophelia excused herself to sleep while everyone also went to his/her room .
At midnight
" I'm thirsty . " Ophelia woke up and tried to find her way to the kitchen and while she was passing by Prince Aaron's room , she heard weird sounds , like someone was in pain , so she knocked only to find the door open . Curiosity got the best of her and she entered the room slowly trying to ask the prince if he's alright .
" Are you alright , your- ?! " Gasps . The only reaction she had . Her eyes looked like they were about to come out of their sockets .
