While on the plane back home, Chloe's mind was clouded with thoughts of what her dad was gonna say or do to her.
'Just be chill' she thought.
After landing in alvianna, some cars were called to pick her up.
After the long drive to the palace, Chloe was led to the throne room.
Chloe walked down the hall with her heart pounding erratically, bracing herself for whatever punishment she was about receiving.
She got to the throne room and met her dad.
He ran to her and enveloped her in a hug
Well, this was unexpected
" I'm sorry I forced you to marry him, but please don't ever run away like that" He said.
" I'm sorry too Dad , I won't ever run away again." Chloe said.
'I'm not promising' she thought.
After sitting things out, She went back to her room.
" I missed my bed." Chloe said as she lay lazily on her bed.
she heard a knock on the door and gave a lazy. " come in."
Ronald and Gina came in and Gina wrapped Chloe in a bear hug.
" Chloe..... I missed you." Gina said.
"Hi Lil sis." Ronald waved.
"Hey bro." Chloe said "hope your lives were okay without me." she added.
*********************************
Some weeks later (Chloe's POV)
*********************************
It's been three weeks now and life back home has been awesome cuz dad hasn't brought any wierd marriage proposal.
Although I was told that king Rufus was mad and was planning something against us and I couldn't help but feel bad, but dad caused this all so.....
Some weeks after I got back to Alvianna, I was informed that we were hosting a party in the honor of King Malcolm and Prince Regaleon of Grandcrest , thanking them for coming to Alvianna.
I sat on my bed watching Sophie scatterining my wardrobe in order to find a dress for me to wear.
"I'm just gonna say hi and leave, what's all this for?" I asked.
"A princess has to look her best." my Best friend Sophia said as I rolled my eyes.
"Very well then." I said as I walked into my changing room to put on a red dress that Sophia brought out for me.
I came out spinning around and Sophia looked satisfied.
"You look stunning.....now I have to do something about that hair of yours." Sophia said.
I sat at the dressing room mirror and stared at Sophia as she styled my hair to perfection.
"What would I have done without you?" I sighed.
"Died ..... maybe....now come on, your sister's waiting." Sophia said as she pulled me out of my room.
Sophia and I have always been close, right from when we were kids. My mum and Sophie's mum were best friends and well I guess we inherited the friendship from them.
Just like me, Sophia was a princess, the third daughter of King Henry and Queen Annabelle of the kingdom of Aphedia.
★★★★★★★★
Sophie pulled me out of my room and to the palace hallway where we met Gina hiding behind a wall.
"Finally you're here...I was scared I was gonna have to go in myself." Gina breathed and we all laughed.
"Come on let's go." I laughed.
"Hold up... I never really got the info about your runaway trip." Sophie smiled.
"OMG. She didn't tell you?.... She said she met this really hot dude called leo—" Gina said but was cut off by me as I used my hand to cover her mouth.
"Um, I think everyone's waiting and it would be rude to keep them waiting." I said trying to mask my Scarlet red face.
Sophie laughed and pulled both Gina and I into the ballroom. I wasn't ready to go in now. I wasn't ready for everyone to see the face of the runaway princess of Alvianna.
I turned around to leave but immediately I did, I heard the announcer. " Welcoming princess Chloe and Gina of Alvianna and princess Sophia of Aphedia." he yelled.
'Darn it.' I thought as I stared daggers at the guy.
"Why the heck do we still have announcers? this is the year 2023, not 1956." Gina whispered and we all laughed.
We split up because Gina had to see Augustine and Sophie went to meet her parents, While I walked to an empty seat and ignored everyone there.
I sat with a bored expression on my face and my face resting on my palms.
My eyes scanned the room and I was shocked to find a pair of familiar ocean blue eyes staring at me with the same surprised expression I had.
