Chapter 16 - Preparations

Olivia

Oliver made me tell him everything that had happened between me and Hero, if it had been up to him, my brother would have walked out of here and smashed Hero to pieces, and all the gods knew that would have been a tragedy for all of us. However, I managed to convince him otherwise and now he found himself with a huge smile on his face.

- Why are you smiling? I just told you the reason for all my unhappiness. - I said upset.

- Forgive me, sister, but I can't help but be glad that this romance is over, even if it was like this. This was not going to end well at all, Olivia.

- Are you telling me that you are happy for my sadness? - I asked, shocked.

- Of course not! Don't think about it, I would never be happy to see you sad sister. You know very well that if it were up to me...

- If it were up to you, Hero would be dead now. - I completed - I know, it's just what you say, but I would never allow this.

- What do you intend to do now?

- Follow my life. What else could I do? - I say, letting a tear fall.

- Oh, sister. - Oliver hugs me.

The whole castle has come alive with preparations for my birthday ball. The whole village is invited to the event, except Victoria, I don't want that viper and her family inside my house, infiltrating my intimacy. It will be a big event, and events like this are usually open to the community, since my parents are the rulers of the kingdom.

The hall is looking beautiful, the decoration is to my taste, full of flowers, giving the impression that we are inside an indoor forest. This party is the only thing that keeps me from thinking about Hero, it still hurts a lot and I know it will for some time to come.
