Anastasia and Diana stared at each other quietly without saying a word... They both made a long deep breathe sign then, Diana finally speaks up. I'm sorry Anastasia. I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did... I think I got so sensitive because you were being so hard on Prince Lex.... I'm sorry too that I acted based on impulse. Answered Anastasia. .... By the way, I've noticed you're always upset whenever Prince Lex is around other women. Do you have feelings for him? Diana stared at her curiously... Anastasia signed. I guess I can't run away from the truth about how I really feel about him. Diana smiled. Prince Lex has an amazing personality. I could see why every young maiden would find him attractive.
He has a beautiful soul and he's courageous...… You know, i use to ask myself why was i ever attracted to him? Why do I have a crush on him?...... Princess Anastasia interrupted. You also like Prince Lex? Diana nodded. Yes, I do...… Anastasia Surprised.... Then, the man who gave you this hair pin?..... she pointed at the hair pin on Diana's hair? You're right. Diana mutters.
He gave me the hair pin. She smiled as she touches the hair pin on her curly black hair. I promised myself I was going to cherish this gift. It makes me so happy each time I think about the moment he placed this hair pin on my hair.... Do you believe he feels the same way about you? Asked Anastasia.... I'm not sure. Part of me what to believe he does love me because he gave me a hair pin but the other part still feels something isn't right...
If a man chose to give you something as precious as this, then, you should try to find out how he truly feels about you. Who knows, he might like you too. replied Anastasia.... Diana smiled. I'm really surprised those words are coming directly from you, 'Your Highness'? Don't you feel I'm your rival who also desire what you want? ...… She replied. I'm not afraid of losing Lex, you know.... I'm just scared that; I might not be able to support him as much as I want to because of my own insecurities and fears...…. What are you going to do if he chooses to marry Princess Rosella? Diana stared at Anastasia intently.... If he really does feel the same way for the princess, then I won't come in between the way of love. I'm just going to accept my fate.... She replied. You're really bad at lying, princess.
Diana keeps silently for a while, carefully observing Anastasia. You feel like you're about to cry.... You don't have to lie to yourself, 'Your highness'. You do what to tell him how you feel, don't you? Anastasia started to tear up. It's so hard to pretend it's going to be fine when it isn't. I love him so much it hurts me seeing him cling to other women especially her.... Then, go tell him the truth about how you feel.... Declared Diana.
What about you, Diana? Don't worry about me Princess. I can take care of my own feelings. What's most important is knowing how he truly feels about you. Now go to him! She exclaimed. I think I saw him a while ago about to meet with the King. You need to let him know before he makes a decision.... Thanks Diana. Anastasia quickly left the room as she started to run towards the hallway.... Almost suddenly, she bumped into Lucas. Lucas surprised. Where are you of to in such a rush? I'm about to meet with Prince Lex. She quickly answered. Why? He stared at her seriously... I will let you know as soon as I get back..... she left him and continues her search for the prince.... Luckily, she sees him about to enter the King's chambers as she stopped him. Lex! Lex surprised to see her breathing so hard and sweating all over.... Are you alright, princess? .... No, I'm not! Why should I be? When I see the man I'm crazily in love with paying attention to other ladies. How do you expect me to feel? The hair pin I lost; Diana told me you gave it to her... I want to know why you gave my stuff to her?
Who does give someone stuff to other people?.... You know.... the truth is, I was going to let her have the hair pin until she told me the truth that you gave that hair pin to her... I want to know why you did that? What am I to you really?! How do you feel hurting me this way, 'Your Highness?! That hair pin was given to me by my father before I had my strange ailment. It's very precious to me. You never returned it back knowing so well who it belonged to. Also, you enjoy flirting with other ladies and you want me to feel happy about it? You're about to be given in marriage to Princess Rosella?! I don't like it, that's why I was so upset back at the contest! .....
Lex replied. Tell me truthfully, what are you thinking? Why will you get so upset because Princess Rosella chose me?... it because.... she pauses as she stared intensely at him. It's because I love you. I love you Lex, that was why I was so upset when the King threatened us, that he isn't going to agree to our terms if you didn't agree to marrying his daughter...… You don't have to love me back Lex. I just want you to know, you're free to make your own choice. If Princess Rosella is the woman you want, then go for it. I just don't want you to make sacrifices that will end up making you unhappy.
I know you have a kind heart Lex and you desire to help your kingdom win this war but, you also need to consider your own happiness. How can your people be happy if you aren't? ...… Please Lex, consider your own feelings first before meeting with the king... she's about to walk away as Lex quickly pulled her into a kiss. They're both consumed with an intense passion and desire to have the other .... Rosella who happens to pass by was upset when she sees the two lovers making out. She bits her lips angrily and silently curses at them.
Shortly after Lex pulls away from Anastasia and tried to say something, he started to groan in intense pain as he touches his aching heart. Shortly afterwards, he fainted as Anastasia tries to get him to wake up but Rosella rushes to his side and pushes her away. Get away from him, princess! What have you done to him?! She screamed aloud. Someone help! The others inside the castle came running in confusion towards their direction as soon as they heard the sound of Rosella's voice. You don't deserve to be around him, Anastasia! You did this to him! Rosella yelled. I won't forgive you if anything happens to the prince.... She allowed Lucas and the guards take Prince Lex to the royal physician.
