Camilla Pov:
I quite enjoyed the silent time I had with Damian as we both watched the sunrise. However, he had to pop up and scare me. Does he have nothing to do with his life? Goodness sake. Ryan came up to my face and whispered "Why are you angry did I interrupt your lovely time with your sweetheart?". He too of then and I immediately ran off after him. Damian was not my sweetheart. He belonged to Eveline. Yet why was my face so red when Ryan said that? Perhaps it was because I was too hot standing under the sun for so long. Yes, it was that. Nothing else. Damian belongs to the female lead. I repeat he belongs to the female lead. I'm just trying to live my life longer. I don't want to be executed. And for that to not happen I just won't target the protagonist. And then I won't die. Perhaps I would even find my very own Prince Charming and live my life happily with two kids a boy and a girl and also have a cat. I always wanted to have a cat, however, Auntie was allergic so she never allowed me to have one. I'm thinking too ahead of myself. I'm only 9.
"Camilla? Camilla. Where are you," someone shouted. I snapped out of my daydreaming state and hurriedly ran closer towards where the sound was being heard from. I walked outside and noticed that everyone was packing away. "Camilla there you are," the butler muttered. "Sorry, I'm late," I apologised. He nodded and gestured for me to get inside the carriage. I stood at the door and noticed that Damian and Ryan were sitting opposite each other. What's with the atmosphere here? Damian seemed to be glaring at Ryan again however Ryan was looking at me and smiling. "Hurry up and get on," Ryan uttered while Damian said at the same time "Sit next to me,". So who would I sit next to? Luckily Uncle Robert must've noticed my difficulty so he walked behind me and ordered for the two to sit next to each other and for me to sit next to him. I thanked Uncle Robert for his consideration and hurriedly climbed inside the carriage.
"What were you guys talking about?" I asked as soon as the horses started. "The atmosphere was so weird," I muttered. Damian looked away and didn't say anything. I looked at Ryan and gestured for him to start talking. Ryan too turned away and only muttered "Nothing important don't be so nosy,". I looked at him in annoyance and turned away from both of them. What did they talk about? Why is so mysterious that they couldn't even tell me? I looked at them for a long time just to give them another chance however they ignored me, so I did the same thing to them. Throughout the whole journey, I completely ignored anything they chose to say to me. The only person I talked to was Uncle Roberts. I looked at Ryan and I noticed that his happy face had changed to a sad and dejected face. I was just ignoring him why was he so sad?

Ryan's POV:
When I whispered, "Why are you angry did I interrupt your lovely time with your sweetheart?". I didn't want to hear your answer so I chose to run away. Perhaps it was because I had already thought of you as someone I wanted to keep to myself. I heard my father once say that if a lady ever sees your whole body you've to be responsible for her. Otherwise, she would never be able to marry since her reputation has been ruined. I always thought that marriage was nothing but a business transaction. My parent's marriage was like that and so were my grandparents. Mother never loved Father and he too never loved Mother. The two were like strangers living under the same roof. I want to marry someone not because of some business transaction. But of true love. I hate my parents hence I always ran away. They both have lovers but still choose to have this marriage. Why did they even bother to have kids in the first place? Hence since young, I always vowed to marry someone who I genuinely loved and who genuinely loved me. Which is why I was pretty happy that you chased after me. That must be because she doesn't like him. I think I fell in love with you. But it's only been a few days. Can love happen so quickly? Perhaps it was love at first sight.
As for what I said to Damian. That was a very embarrassing matter. Perhaps I wasn't feeling very secure about who Camilla loves best. So I did a very foolish thing. I started showing off how well Camilla was treating me. Um, so it kinda backfilled. Damian was saying that he and Camilla had slept on the same bed when he was sick and so on. When I heard this statement I immediately saw red. So I punch him. He too punches me in return. And so we had a miny fight before we entered the carriage. We were pulled away by the Grand Duke and he looked far from happy. However, he never said anything as Camilla was approaching. I saw that she was distracted by the butler and quickly wiped off the blood leaking from my mouth. You didn't even bother to ask about how I was. That's why I was so angry and I refused to talk to you.
