Iris was frightened as soon as she saw that it was princess Arianna. She thought it was going to be aunt Rose who had promised to bring her herbs and spice.
Iris stood startled at first, but remembered her manners and greeted immediately. " My princess " she greeted bowing respectfully.
Princess Arianna just nodded. " Where's Emmaline ? " Arainna asked less concerned about the greetings. Since after Arianna found out through Emmaline, that Iris was a suspect in the sudden disappearance of her sister, she paid little attention to Iris. She just wanted to get an evidence and chance to deal with Iris properly.
" I have no idea my princess ! I have a bad cold, I have been indoors all day. " Iris answered in pretence, not looking at Arainna's eyes at all.
" I see ! " Arainna said nodding her head.
" Send her words that I wish to see her as soon as she returns. " Arainna said leaving.
Iris shut the door. " Iris when did you become this perfect at being evil ? ( She asked herself falling to the floor, and crying all over again ) what would I tell princess Arainna by the time she returned, or do I run away ?? I might just die of guilt here " she lamented admist her tears, burying her head in to the floor. She raised her head after a long period of crying. She thought that she somehow saw the figure of Emmaline sitting on her bed. Fear gripped her. She closed her eyes, shaking her head profusely. She opened her eyes to look again. She saw nothing.
" Oh Emmaline please don't torment my soul. I didn't have a hand in this evil, Ferdinand planned and hatched all this. Please spare me! ( She said facing the direction she thought she had seen Emmaline ) I will never be able to prove my Innocence to you. I know I shouldn't have lured you to follow me to the woods, but I had the least intention of having you killed. Oh would I ever forgive my self ? " She asked her self again. Iris layed on the floor, she sobbed till she fell asleep.
Prince Liam had sent Arainna, throughaunt Rose, a very pretty and silky flowing white gown, and had sent message, that he was waiting for her outside the palace.
Arianna was out in no soon time. Arainna's beauty always helped in complimenting any dress she wore. She was looking all shades of stunning. The dress revealed her firm breasts, they looked appealing. Prince Liam stole a glance at it, from time to time. He was amazed at her beauty. Arianna did not know how, but aunt Rose just knew how to make her look beautiful.
Arainna was a bit nervous, but never compromised maintaining her elegance. She soon got to where prince Liam stood with the royal carriage. She was surprised to see him dressed so casually. He wore a white short sleeved shirt, and shorts. It was almost forbidden for a person with royal bearing to appear like that. Every one born of a king and queen, where obligated to maintain the status quo of the life associated with the king and queen, and dressing was not an exception.
Prince Liam noticed Arainna's look at his dress, " what ? you don't like how I am dressed ? " He asked her smiling a bit.
" Oh no ! Of cause I love what you're wearing, you look wonderful " Arainna said comporting herself gracefully.
" But ? " Prince Liam asked her again searching into her eyes.
Arianna smiled knowing he had caught her there " I was just wondering why you are looking this simple for a person of your calibre, what do you think the king will say if he sees you like this ? "
He smiled again. " Someone once told me that I could be my own king, spontaneity, remember ? " He asked again.
Arianna knew he was referring to her. She just smiled. " Besides who would tell, If you do not tell ? " He asked her again, touching her lips softly. Arainna just smiled and still remained silent.
" C'mon my lady, we should get going, we must be back before sunset. " He said to her opening his arms for her to joins hers with it. He helped her into the carriage, and was soon seated as well. The carriage got on the move...
The ride was a quiet one. Prince Liam continued to steal glances at Arianna breasts, unknown to her. One time her eyes had met with his, he quickly threw his face away. Arainna kept wondering where they were going that was so important. What ever that happened, she didn't want to meet new people. Meeting more people was detrimental to her undercover. She thought of Emmaline. She was sure Emmaline had found something. She couldn't wait for Emmaline to share the news of her findings. She needed to leave the palace as quick as possible, because she was sure she had began to feel moved by prince Liam's touch and kisses. For her, that wasn't a good feeling, she didn't want to fall in love with the prince, not with her sister's supposed husband...
After a long ride, the carriage pulled over. Arainna was startled, they where in the middle of no where. " Did something go wrong ? " She asked looking into prince Liam's face and searching for the carriage riders face.
" Everything is just fine ! " Prince Liam said smiling at her.
" What do you mean everything is fine ? We're at the middle of no where. " She said still letting out her unbelief.
Prince Liam gave no reply. He just climbed down form the carriage, and gestured with his hands for her to come as well, stretching his hands to her for support ( Arainna climbed down the carriage with mixed feelings. " Come ! Let me get you amazed. " He said leading her into a narrow path through the bushes on the high way. Arianna followed fidgetingly.
