Roxanne probably understood the situation, Lady Luna was still holding her hands tightly and still shaking. Luna was cornered in that situation, and Roxanne has no right to interfere with Lady Luna and Prince Keane's relationship with each other, even if she is a friend of Luna.
All that Luna carried back with her was her own feelings and all that's left was the frustration and embarrassment. Her cheeks are bright red, and she doesn't know why this feeling gave her twisted thoughts. Are her cheeks red because she was so angry? or maybe it's because of him? But Luna shouldn't think of it like that, why would she blush over a prince like him? A con-artist? Well, he was so good at playing the good guy because Luna really fell into his trap. And now she's in this situation. A trapped situation where they told her she has to be engaged with a Prince so the Palace will take care of her mother's health. Not even telling her the truth before she made this decision. The truth is that she can heal her mother by using her magic, as she is the immortal child.
She was tired and her knees are trembling, she sat down on the chair at the corner of her room near the window where she could see only those beautiful flowerbeds around the Palace and the people outside living their normal lives that she used to live with just almost a week ago. And now knowing that next month will be her wedding ceremony, what will she do? just sit here? wandering around and doing nothing? This world was cruel to her even from the start. Her parents died trying to save her because of the magic she possess. She tried to live a normal life but the ones she loves the most are always in trouble. So what can she do?
"Relax Luna, take a deep breath, take a sip of your tea to calm your nerves" Roxanne placed the cup of tea on the table,
"Ren and Prince Keane... they're the same but, I just hope only Ren would exist and not that jerk of a Prince," Luna said excruciatingly,
"But in the same way, he never wastes his time on something with no value to him," Roxanne grinned with bliss in her eyes,
Luna tilted her head over to the side and looked at Roxanne with eagerness, "And what are you exactly trying to say?"
Roxanne sighed and shook her head, "I don't know, just... don't be so nosy around that jerk of a Prince, you say," she said with a taunting tone,
"Well, maybe he just wants to make a good use of the magic that I possess, that's why,"
"He wouldn't do things in a rush with such a lame excuse, his personality might be like that, but didn't you ever think why did he ever need to show himself to you as Ren the royal guard and not as the jerk of a Prince Keane? why would he have to exert much effort just for you?" Roxanne said with no hesitation,
Luna's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a bit uncomfortable to where the conversation was going, "How do you know the Prince so well?" blurted out,
Roxanne smiled, "I'll tell you after your lunch with your fiancee," Luna was taken aback," Eh? Lunch?!" she screamed,
"Uh-huh, you heard that right, you and Prince Keane... together. on. a. lunch."
Luna's jaw dropped. "He's obviously doing this on purpose--"
"Milady, he's not. Today's lunch was scheduled since last week, it was a mere coincidence that you two met before lunch," Roxanne raised an eyebrow, "Oh, I guess fate is whispering something..." She teased.
It's almost Lunchtime, and the cook here in the Palace is so good at every dish. She's expecting to taste a new dish, but she never thought Prince Keane would be eating with her.
Cold sweats kept dripping on her back, she could feel the tip of her toes are cold as ice, her hands were shaking and she can't still move properly, It's as if her body felt so numb just because of what Prince Keane did to her, seduce her. And now she's trying so hard to figure out what to do next with her powers.
Luna looked at Roxanne who was about to leave. As soon as the door was closed, She let out a sigh, "Should I make potions? that could work right?" Her eyes widened in excitement but then she rolled her eyes, "Like I know how to use my power... I couldn't even control it." She lies down on the bed and put her hands up,
"Okay! Be positive! I can do this and I will do this, I will surely know how to use this power..." she covered her face with a pillow,
"I can't let their sacrifices be for nothing..." she almost whispered.
