"It is a surprise you have a friend with how busy you are" Diana commented while acting amused.
"She is my childhood friend,i guess that is why i could have time for her" Victor said broodingly.
"Who is she? Does she visit the palace often?" The princess asked while acting curiously just so he wouldn't suspect her intention.
Kate stared at her princess in awe because of her flawless acting.If she had not told her about Sir Silk's friend herself,she would have thought the princess was really curious.She looked at the poor man under her princess claws with pity.
"Her name is Euphorial Cross.And no,she doesn't visit the palace often" he answered her coldly while masking his heartache.
Diana noticed that he just used his coldness to mask something which she will get to know before leaving.She continued with her questions because she had not gotten what she wanted to know,the reason why an arrogant Silk have a friendly relationship with a common merchant daughter.
"Ohhhhhhhh,the girl that will be getting married soon.I heard that you made her the dress she wore for the last annual ball that took place at the palace,are you also the one that will make her wedding dress?" Diana asked and she smirked when she saw him squeeze the table he was using as support.She added more fire by saying "If you had made it,i guess i will be seeing it on her at the wedding taking place at Ephraim's mansion.I am sure you would have made the wedding dress of your childhood friend the best in our history,since your family is known for that".
Victor couldn't talk because of his heart that felt like it is being pierced by a needle.He had been pierced by needles while sewing several times but this pain was different.He has been masking his heartache by busying and burying himself in work but no,the princess has to remind him of his pains.He put the dress inside a box before giving it to the princess's maid before resuming his work.
Diana stood on her feet because she had gotten what she wanted.Kate said goodbye to the seamster for her before dashing after the princess with the dress box in her hands.
She didn't really get why the princess was asking and talking about the merchant daughter,but at least she now knows that the merchant daughter and the said Ephraim's bride are same.She replied the female attendant who thanked them for coming after she had paid for the dress with the princess money that was with her.
Victor sank in his chair when the princess and her maid went out.Sorrow and heartache,that was what he was feeling.
He remembered the first time he saw her in the forest when he was eleven.She was playing with the water flowing in the stream of that forest that was near her house.
He had came to the forest to cry for his father's death after burying him on that day with the help of his family and his mother who was also shaken by his father's death.He didn't want to cry before his mother so as to not add to her sorrow,that was why he came to the forest to cry out his heart and sorrow since the forest was so far away from his house and his father's shop.
He had sat down beside her that day to play with water when he saw her smiling and happy with just playing with the water.He was surprised when the girl with yellow eyes which was very rare eyes just smiled at him.He had expected her to shout,cry or even run away because he was a stranger to her,but the girl even asked him to deep his hands into water which he did.
She had made him smile when she splashed water at him while staring at him in expectance of his water splash.For a while that they were together at the stream,she took his mind of his father's death.
He remembered her writing down her name on the sand before dashing away in hurry while telling him that her mother will get angry if she was too late and he had screamed back his name for her to know.Her name was really a perfect choice for her because she made him happy when he was feeling bitter and sorrowful.
He blinked away the tears that was trying to fall because of the emotions he was feeling and he continued with his work.There was nothing he could do,the girl is getting married now they could only exchange letters.He will have to move on⊙︿⊙(╯︵╰,)(╯︵╰,)ಥ_ಥಥ_ಥಥ_ಥ
Diana and her maid entered the carriage that was waiting outside and they continue their journey to the vampire kingdom.
Diana smirked when she remembered what she had just deduced from Victor.
What a poor soul,he is in love with his childhood friend who is getting married two days after today.
He could try as much as possible to act and seem unaffected since she had gotten what she wants to know.
She had been thinking about what will make a Silk member connect with a mere merchant daughter and it turned out that it was because of love,which was not even requited.It was an unrequited love (she smiled cunningly before closing her eyes to think about her next step to destroy Euphorial)..........
