Amber-ruby rolled her eyes at this scene. A strange silence took the dining room at the moment. Amber-ruby , cleared her throat and Eva removed her hand on Ace's own.
The duke August and Duncan came back in the dining room. They left the Queen in her chamber , so as to be alone with the king.
"We have to go. It was a nice evening" said August with a smile. "Prince Ace , princess Logane good night" he added.
August move out of the dining room , leaving Duncan and Evariste saying goodbye to Ace and Amber-ruby.
"See you tomorrow then my princess"he said as he kissed her knuckles.
She nodded with a smile on her face.

The sunbeam were passing through the window and the curtains touching amber-ruby's face, she frowned her face without opening her eyes, turning to the opposite direction so as the sunbeam doesn't touched her face anymore .
A maid came and finally open the curtains and the window for light to perfectly enter. She took the bedsheet put it on head covering all her head to avoid the sunlight.
"It's another day my princess" said the maid, that was already starting to arrange her chamber.
"No, I don't want to wake up" she mumbled with disagreement under her bedsheet
"The Queen assigned me to wake you up early, you have to be ready for your date with Sir Belvian" the maid said with a smile.
Amber-ruby remove the bedsheet off her head, her hairs were disheveled and her eyes swollen. It looks like she didn't sleep well.
The maid looked at her when she removed the bedsheet.
"Oh! You don't have a good appearance this morning, my princess" she said
"How would I? I couldn't find sleep" she said rubbing her temple with her finger.
"Madeleine.." she called.
Effectively, Amber-ruby knew the name of her maids already , well , the ones that often come to her chamber.
They was Madeleine whom clean her room every morning and evening, Corry and Lila whom prepare her for every day life and ceremonies. They were all girl of her ages except Madeleine who was the oldest.
They maids have been surprised when amber-ruby asked their name because even though Logane was kind person she will never in her life ask a name of servant, she usually called them servant 1, 2, 3 etc.
"Where's the queen. I know that when there's such event that concern me, she will be the one preparing me" Amber-ruby added.
"She went with Prince Ace for a meeting with nearby kingdom" explained Madeleine.
Corry and Lila entered at that moment.
"My princess" they said in unison as they bowed
"We will make you beautiful for your date with Sir Belvian" Lila said enthusiastically
Amber-ruby rolled her eyes, she got off her bed.
"You must be excited! He's so handsome, kind and chivalrous. All the lady of the kingdom are just dreaming to be his wife" Corry said with the same enthusiasm as Lila.
Amber-ruby sighed.
They looked at disbelieving to her reaction.
"You don't think so my princess?" Asked Lila as she prepared the bath of amber-ruby.
"I don't know" she said simply
"Huh? You know him since you guys were babies and I thought that you have a crush on him, my princess" said Madeleine
Amber-ruby shrugged.
They just wondered.
Amber-ruby entered in the bathtub, relaxing her body.
Even though she has been stressed up with this mess of identity, death and mariage. She can't deny that this life of princess is somehow good .
"For real I don't want to get married" said amber-ruby that was in the bathroom with the door opened. The maids looked at her direction
"What??!!" Exclaimed the maids
"Yes, I have more important objectives" she said calmly
"If the queen hear this, I think she will faint" Madeleine said still wondering on amber-ruby's words
"But Sir Belvian is such an incredible man, my princess" Corry said softening her voice having a dreaming face.
Amber-ruby stood silent.
"In the past Princess Logane, you were always excited when you knew that sir Belvian was in town because he never stay in this kingdom for long" said Madeleine
"Has your feelings for him change?" Asked Madeleine
'If you people can just know that I'm not Logane' she thought.
Maybe the real Logane loved Duncan but it wasn't her case. She don't even know if she has ever love someone in her life, she had boyfriends in the past but it was just like that she never felt something. In 23years she never met someone that gave her butterflies in the stomach.
It's true Duncan seems to be nice but that was all and If he's the crush of Logane, she didn't want to go far with Duncan knowing that Logane loves him.
Her objectives in this kingdom was to replace Logane for 72h but things went bad and now all she wants here it's revenge.
Revenge against Garyl and somehow Ace because he's the one that put her in this mess.
Mariage was the last thing in her head especially mariage with someone's love.
"I don't know what I feel for Duncan again, you know we grew up and things had changed" Amber-ruby said.
They maid stood silent and then amber-ruby change the conversation. She was closed to the maids already, she preferred to talked to them than to talk to those nobles and all the rest that have fake smile and sympathy .

Amber-ruby took her breakfast alone without her "family" since they wasn't there.
Amber-ruby thought how she progressed, she didn't even know how to drink tea elegantly and now here she's doing things as a princess.
During the four months that she made before reappearing she has been working hard to imitate Logane and have knowledge in royal stuff . She contacted Mrs Mendel that knew the story and asked her to say nothing to Ace. She was the one that helped her .
A message arrived on her phone bringing amber-ruby back to reality. She opened the message.
"I'm coming to take you in 5mins"
