Onyx pov
I saw the crown prince of ovrinoda winking at Ondina. I wanted to caution him at first but it would be disrespectful. I didn't want him to play with my sister because she is the apple of my eye.
As I had those thoughts I suddenly remembered why he was here in the first place,to choose a wife to control both kingdoms.
"Let us head inside " dad said. Our eyes met and I scowled at him telling him to back off through my expression.
Ondina's pov
I wanted to laugh out loud after seeing the looks onyx was giving that crazy guy.Onyx dragged me out of the living room secretly.
"What is wrong "I asked after we stopped
"What's wrong?, didn't you see how that Christopher guy is staring at you,it's freaking me out" he answered in anger
"Stop making a fuss over it, he's naturally annoying " I answered
"How did you know, do you know him from somewhere" he asked
"He's someone I know and have seen you know the crazy guy from yesterday that I told you about" I replied while returning to the living room.
"What? You know what just stay away from him, okay" Onyx said as we entered the living room.
The first thing I noticed when I entered the room was the way Olivia was trying to catch the prince attention. I rolled my eyes in disgust, her hands was all over him,she was like 'my prince this, my prince that'. I sat down on the sofa that is far away from the ovrinoda's.
After some time everyone gathered at the dining hall for brunch. I took my normal seat beside onyx,Olivia refused to sit until the crazy prince sat down.
"Can I sit here" someone asked
"Sure you can" I answered absentmindedly. After the person sat down,a realization dawned on me. I glanced at the person beside me and it was that annoying guy. I rolled my eyes at him and asked
"What are you driving at"
"What do you mean pretty" he replied
"Stop calling me that" I said fuming
"It's undeniable and the truth" he replied calmly
"Stop it! My name is Ondina ok" I retorted
"Now that we're friends you can call me Chris" he said with a smile
"What friends, I don't even know you from Adam" I said.
"switch seats with me" onyx said suddenly. I nodded and we switched seats, I couldn't stop my laughter when I overheard Onyx warning Chris to stay clear off me.
After the awkward breakfast, dad decided to assign each member of the family to show each of the ovrinoda family around. I wasn't so shocked when I was dismissed from meeting any of the Ovrinoda family members. Obviously the position for queen was automatically for Olivia but I didn't mind.
I decided to walk through the garden to gather my thoughts, I always felt like this when I'm secluded from family time.
I picked some fruits and ate them quietly,the calm ambiance of the garden gave me temporary peace.
"Looks like our princess is felling lonely"
I turned to see that crazy guy behind me.
"Aren't you meant to be with Onyx " I asked
"I escaped, he wouldn't stop glaring at me and it felt like he was about to kill me. To prevent a murder case I ran away " he explained.
"You know that you talk too much " I commented
"I do that when I'm feeling overwhelmed"
He explained to me.
"And why are you overwhelmed " I asked while passing him an apple.
"Isn't it obvious, imagine seeing a black rose under the moonlight " he answered.
I looked at him and asked
"So am I meant to be the black rose in the moonlight "
"Isn't that obvious enough " he asked
"Whatever, just don't let my brother hear that or you are as good as dead " I told him. He stopped talking and enjoyed the scenery,
"Is that how you are always treated in your family?"he asked out of the blue
"You noticed huh" I said
"They weren't hiding it and your sister is not helping at all" he explained
"What did Olivia do "I asked
"She always starts a conversation and makes sure she emphasize that she is better than you" he said. I laughed heartily, as usual she decide to make me a nobody. I looked at him and said
"I don't love anyone in my family but my brother, he's always there for me "
"I can tell, all those glares he directed at me is because he has the overprotective big brother syndrome " he joked
"What's that meant to mean" I asked
"It's something big brothers have towards their younger sisters like me I get overprotective of my sister anytime I see her with any guy " he said while smiling
"You guys are crazy " I said while smiling
"Since I made you smile can you give me the tour instead " he asked.
I got up and dusted my clothes and picked my last apple
"Are you going to leave me here"Chris asked
"Are you going to stay here while I give myself the tour "I asked
