RYAN'S QUARTERS-
"I'm so sorry for whatever happened out there." He apologized, handing her a glass of water.
"No need for apologizes, I understand how it feels to lose a loved one." She replied.
"Wait Prince Ryan, why didn't you marry Princess Isabella since she truly loves you?" Iris asked.
"She doesn't love me, she's obsessed." He groaned.
"At least she'll be ready to obey and put up with you unlike me." She stated as Ryan flared up again.
"Why do you like comparing yourself with your others?" Ryan asked.
"I wasn't comparing just saying the truth." She replied back as Ryan became angry.
"To hell with that truth of yours." He yelled.
"You're shouting at me." Iris said, frowning.
"I need to clear my head, sorry." He said.
"I'll tell the maid to bring in your dinner." He said and left leaving Iris all alone in the room. Soon after he left, a maid came in holding a tray of food.
"You can place it there." Iris said politely as the maid placed the tray on the table.
"Do you need anything else my princess?" The maid asked.
"Yes, I want you to accompany me." Iris said.
"okay my princess." She bowed.
"No! Have a seat next to me." Iris said, bringing out a chair for her to seat.
"My princess, it's wrong." She replied, still bowing her head.
"What's your name?" Iris asked,as she ate her food. She really liked her and hoped that they could be good friends.
"I'm Amber, my princess." Theaid replied politely.
Soon they chatted away and once she was done the maid left, promising to be back to prepare for her bath.
IN KINGDOM FALEN:
"My princess, you've been crying since you got back." Isabella's maid said worriedly.
"Get out, I don't need anyone's sympathy." Isabella yelled, throwing the nearest object she could find at her maid as the maid gasped in fear and ran out screaming.
"Prince Ryan, you shouldn't have done this." She said angrily. "I've always loved you but now I'll make you pay for humiliating and disgracing me."
"You've only seen my love for you until now not anymore, I'll sure you how it feels to be hurt by your loved one and then you'll regret ever choosing a pauper over me." She cried in anger.
RYAN'S BEDROOM:
Amber and some of the other maids dressed Iris and led her to the master bedroom as Amber gave a slight knock on the door.
"Come in!" Ryan voice ordered as Amber opened the door for Iris to enter.
"See you later, My Prince." Amber daiy and left not before closing the door.
"Don't stand there, go to sleep." Ryan said and turned off the lamp on his side. Iris walked closer to the bed but instead of laying down on the bed beside him, she picked up a pillow and headed for the sofa when suddenly the lights were turned on.
"Stop! What are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm going to sleep." She replied.
"But thanks not a bed, you might fall off, why don't you sleep beside me?" He suggested.
"I can't sleep on the same bed with you...I just can't." She said setting the pillow down.
"No, I can't let you sleep there, why don't you sleep on the bed while I take the sofa."
"Why should the crown prince have to suffer himself for a commoner?" She asked as he went speechless.
"I'll sleep on the sofa, no need to worry about me and good night." She said and closed her eyes to sleep.
