As the valerious siblings enter the room they once again meet princess and princes after 8 years. anna and Tanasiri immediately hug and greet each other while the princes shake hands. it was clear that both parties had missed each other so much. but many things also changed. Hades and Tanasiri weren't close anymore and often glared at each other for no absolute reason. anna and the twins noticed it pretty fast and began to chat.
Anna: is it me or do those two just look like they are about to kill each other with their stinging glares?
Maurizio: Nope! I think all three of us notice it right brother?
Gabriel: Couldn't agree more.
While Anna and the twins chatted about why Tanasiri and Hades glared at each other many things were going on the their minds.
Tanasiri's Mind: Why did he have to come back now? He's left once and he'll surely leave again just like the coward that he is!
Hades Mind: After what she's done she has the guts to glare at me and stare me down?!?! How arrogant of her!
Tanasiri and Hades were betrothed at a young age and they were very close. They have feelings for one another but their past is blocking them from their path to love. When they were still teens the prince had to go back to Valeria to fix some problems with his father's court but his longing for Tanasiri made him rush back to Trystia. He brought many gifts for her and even brought roses, tanasiri's favorite flowers. on his way to meet her, the prince was very excited so he rushed through the garden with the roses to gift them to her. But instead of surprising the princes he was instead surprised. He saw her kissing Tobirama the main heir of the Servus Clan. He dropped the flowers to the ground and the princess and Tobirama heard it they turned around and they saw the prince's face fuming with rage. His hands were filled with blue flames ready to attack the princess and her lover. but the heartache was too much and instead the prince turned around and went back to Valeria. The prince's father found out what the princess had done and broke off the marriage alliance of the two nations. Tanasiri the hot-headed princess got reprimanded for the first time by her father harboring hate. Now the two are in a room staring each other down thinking of ways to get rid of each other. Tanasiri and Hades sent their sibling to another room so they could talk in private about matters of their broken marriage alliance.
Tanasiri: It's been a long time.
Hades: Oh so you have the guts to talk to me! I thought you'd gone mute because of your silence!
Tanasiri: Not like you any better! You Caused my father to be mad at me and ran like a coward! Now your back?!? Why don't you just go back to your empire?
Hades: If I could I would've already left! I think it's about time you start using your head!
Tanasiri: You better watch your mouth! You are no longer in your territory little kitty you are now in mine so I think it's about time you start bowing to the lion!
Hades: Ah yes a lion! You're the lion that had to hide your lover in the imperial garden so you could make the hell out! YOU ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING SCOLDED BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT SHAME YOU'VE BROUGHT UPON ME?!? MY CLAN QUESTIONED MY DIGNITY AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE BANISHED BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!!!
The room went silent. The princess who was always ready when defending herself no longer had words to say as guilt ran through her whole body. she froze. the prince went out of the room and slammed the door shut without saying another word to her. Once the door shut the princess questioned everything she had done. When she was still a teenager the princess had feelings for both Hades and Tobirama. She knew she could only choose one of them. and now she questions herself. "Have I chosen the wrong man to love?"
The prince just went back to his chambers and spent the night studying the matters of the state and what was going on in Valeria. he went to visit his sister in the evening to check on her but she was already asleep. on his way back to his room he saw the princess in front of him.
Tanasiri's Mind: What do I do? Why did I have to go out of my room??!?!
without saying a word the prince just walked past her not even staring at her. He was embarrassed about what he said to her earlier that morning and he didn't know how he would be able to apologize to her for shouting at her. So he just went straight to his bedroom and went to bed. In the morning he went and visited his sister. he cooked for her and chatted with her about her day yesterday. anna and Hades have always been close as kids and to Anna, hades was like her best friend brother, and sometimes even her father. She knew he cared for her and made sure to let him feel her appreciation. Anna decided to spend the whole day with Hades wandering around the palace and practicing archery with him. but Anna persuaded Hades to go to the garden with her. and with Anna's charming smile of course she was able to persuade him. anna went with hades through the imperial garden playfully trying to get her brother's attention to make him happy. But in the garden, they saw the princess with her lover.
Anna: B-brother isn't that Tana?
Hades: What?
As hades stared in front of him. there stands the princess and her lover once again but this time the one fealing ashamed isn't hades. It was now the princess. His face filled with rage hades spoke "Anna let's leave the princess and her friend in the garden so they have some privacy." and anna responded "Alright! Your highness we shall take our leave now!" she happily says. but the princess and her lover was truck with fear as they saw the rage of the prince in his face.....
