Chapter 24 - The pie

"Your highness the pie is finished," she said.

'Want to give me the first slice?" he asked with a bright smile on his face then she smiled and cut the piece, took out a slice, and placed it into a plate.

'Let it cool" she said.

"Okay" he replied smiling.

"Is there an occasion?" she asked.

"Nope why?" he asked.

"You are smiling a lot, so I wonder if today is a special day" she responded then he laughed.

"No it's not a special day but there is someone who is making quite an impact on me these days," he said then she swallowed deeply as he winked at her and she turned away from him.

"Julia look at me," he said and she did then he stared her in the eyes and her hands trembled.

"Wh... what's wrong?" she asked.

'What are you?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Your eyes tend to change colors when the sunlight reflects on ut, it's not normal" he responded and she squeezed the side of her dress in nervousness.

"No need to be afraid, I am not going to say anything to anyone but that comes with a price," he said then her eyes widened as he smiled wickedly.

"The energy coming from his is not like it was before, it's sort of evil," she said as her heartbeat increased drastically.

"He is different, the feeling coming from him is scary," she said to herself as her eyes trembled and he kissed her on the cheek then her eyes widened and he left the kitchen with his slice of pie while she stood there lost.

"Julia" one of the maids called out and she looked at the girl.

"Let's serve the pie," the maid said and she nodded in agreement.

The maid and Julia then grabbed the pie and went to the living room where everyone was and she placed the pie on the glass table then sliced it and shared it with everyone including Daisy.

"Let's taste," Daisy said as the queen took the first bite and started smiling.

"It's really good," the queen said and the other royals agreed with her.

"Uh.. princess Daisy what do you think?" Julia asked then the girl smiled.

"I have to admit, it's pretty good" she responded and Julia smiled then bowed to her.

"Thank you," Julia said and Daisy's eyes widened as she left staring at the girl then turned away from her.

"Yeah whatever," the princess said then the queen gave Julia a piece of the pie and she collected it.

"Thank you your highnesses," she said.

"Maybe you can uh... make me a lemon pie," the prince said as he came into the living room and the girl swallowed deeply then smiled.

'Sure your highness" she replied.

"Great I want it later today," he said then she coughed and the maid rubbed her back then she looked at the prince who smiled like the devil.

"Is there a problem?" the prince asked.

"No your highness there isn't" she responded then walked away and he smiled wickedly.

"I feel like he is not the guy I first met," she said to herself as she went back to the kitchen.

"What's bothering you?" Leon asked as he walked into the kitchen and she jumped.

"Nothing, is there something I can get you your highness?" she asked.

"I will tell you what I need when the time is right, for now, pass me a slice of pie, please" he responded.

'Sure" she said then gave him a slice.

"Thanks," he said.

"You are welcome" she replied.

"By the way Julia where are you from exactly?" he asked as he walked up to her and she moved away from him.

"Uh... i.. can you please stay back?" she asked and he smiled wickedly as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her towards him then her eyes widened as he sniffed her.

"What are you doing?" she asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder trying to push him away.

"You are pretty and I like you, let me tell you something about me, once I see something I like, I will get it no matter what and at this very moment I want you," he said and her eyes trembled as she folded her cuffs.

"You are not my type," she said then pushed him away from her and he smiled wickedly.

"You are saying that now but we will see about that, I will make you fall for me and if you don't then I will do things my way" he replied and walked away then her eyes started glowing.

'I won't mind killing you either" she said to herself.

'Are you okay?" one of the maids asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah I am fine" she responded.

"Prince Leon is a flirt and I am sorry to say this but now that he has his eyes on you, he won't let go, he is very possessive about the things he likes," she said and Julia sighed.

"He is just a rude bright, I will set him straight, thanks but I will be fine" she replied and the girl smiled then took a slice of the pie and sat down to eat it.

'He might be a prince and prince Alre's friend but this time I will not let anyone take advantage of me, he will learn the hard way not to force a girl to do something against her will, he will learn to respect girl's" Julia said to herself as her eyes glowed.

"Julia" Daisy said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Your highness" Julia replied as she bowed.

"Uh... is there any more pie?" she asked.

"Yeah here" she responded as she placed the last piece on the princess's plate.

'Okay" Daisy said then walked away and Julia laughed then the princess turned around and looked at her sternly and the girl covered her mouth with her hands.
