KINGDOM FALEN:
"Princess Isabella" a voice called from outside as a feminine figure dressed in maid clothing's entered the room.
"How many times have I told you to knock before entering?" Isabella questioned, turning to look at her maid kneeling on the floor.
"What do you have for me, any news about Prince Ryan?" She asked, standing to her feet, looking down at her maid.
"Yes my princess." The maid replied.
"And what's the news." Isabella smiled.
"It's Prince Ryan... he's gotten married to Iris." The maid replied.
"Really...and whose this Iris who wants to have my love." Isabella replied, smiling like a devil.
"My princess, she works at a pub."
"Oh! A pun huh quite interesting." Isabella smirked. "Get the carriage ready we're going to Euphoria."
"Yes princess."
RYAN'S QUARTERS:
Ryan got back to the room to see Iris sitting on the stool looking out the balcony.
"(Coughs), food is ready, let's go and have breakfast." Ryan said.
"I'm not hungry." She replied, without shifting her gaze from what she was looking at.
"Iris, I have told you I'm sorry already it was a mistake." He pleaded but Iris didn't budge.
"Iris, is this ho you want our marriage to be." He asked, walking forward but instead Iris turned to face him.
"It's not a real marriage, it's a fake one and stop trying to pretend that everything is alright." She stated.
"We can never live a peaceful life in this fake marriage because of what you've done." She cried, placing her head on her lap.
"I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do to keep you safe except from this marriage, how can I tell you that my father wants to kill you when I myself don't know the reason why." He sighed, taking one last look on her .
"I'm sorry." He said and left.
DINING HALL:
"Wow! Brother's late for breakfast today, any problem." Wyatt asked as he picked an apple from the fruit tray and had a bite.
"Nothing." Ryan simply replied and brought out a chair from the far end and sat down.
"What's the matter son, did anything happen?" Queen Maria asked, on noticing her son's behaviour.
"Mother I...I want to get married to get engaged to Princess Iris." Ryan stated.
"Oh my gosh brother." Wyatt exclaimed in surprise.
"No!" The king's loud voice interrupted. "You can't marry that poor girl who works at a pub."
"She's not some poor girl, she's..."
"I don't want to hear, you've ruined my appetite." The king said and walked out of the dinning hall.
IN THE GUEST ROOM:
"Princess Isabella." Ryan said, surprised to see her.
"Prince Ryan, good morning." She greeted.
"I came to see how the future king is doing in his new position." She teased.
"Funny right, anyways I have been managing quite well."
"That's nice to hear, why don't we go to the garden to...get some fresh air." She smiled.
"I'm sorry maybe next time, I have something important to attend to in the meanwhile I'll call Wyatt to accompany you till then." Ryan replied as Isabella could only nod.
"Sure." Isabella replied through a forced smile.
