I CAN BE ROYAL ALPHA

Chapter 3

Tiana blushed as she told her friends about her dance with charnming Prince Lesterwick, she could never forget yesterday night. "His eyes were so breathtaking and his voice was dreamy."

"Enough with your stories, Tiana, we will be late for class if you continue with this." Victoria one of her friends told her and the rest of the girls started looking at her as if she had said something so bad that she deserved to die.

"Victoria is jealous." Rita teased Victoria and poked Victoria's shoulder with her finger.

"No, I am not Jealous." Victoria hissed and rolled her eyes.

"Do you know who Prince Lester is? He is the heir to the throne, he is one of the most famous musicians and actors in KŨ and most important, he is very handsome." Kirsten flushed and the two girls--Rita and Tiana-- wiggled their fingers together making weird noises.

"I want to dance with him again," Tiana said and sighed.

"Did you take his number?" Rita asked and Tiana slapped her forehead with her palm when she realized that she did not ask for Prince's Lester number, she was so caught up with the moment that she forgot to ask for his contact details.

"How could you forget such an important thing?!" Kirsten shook her head slowly in disappointment. "I know that girls shouldn't be collecting numbers but for Prince Lester the case is different, you should have even proposed to him."

"Tell me you left your shoe behind?" Rita asked peering at Tiana.

"Why would I do that?"

"Haven't you heard of Cinderella, girl?" Rita said Tiana and Kirsten began laughing.

"Don't be ridiculous, Rita this is not Disney." Tiana told Rita and there was this anything--could-happe n--in--this---world look on Rita's face.

"You all are not serious, I am off to class," Victoria announced and left.

"I guess it's time for us to leave for class too, your highness," Kirsten said and Tiana let out a smile, she was going to spend the rest of her day thinking about Lester.

Tiana came to KU to further her education in higher institutions, she had been here for almost a year,

Kirsten was her best friend, personal assistant and bodyguard, they have known each other for years noW, while Rita and Victoria were her friends she met in school.

Tiana was 21, Kirsten was 22, Victora was 23, she was the oldest among them, and Rita was almost 20, she was the youngest among them, they all attended the same university, and they enjoyed hanging out together with each other.

THE ROYAL CASTLE

Prince Lester was in the royal library reading some history books when his sister Amanda the youngest amongst them walked in with her attendant.

"Why did you cancel your concert, Prince Charming?" This was the nickname Amanda gave her senior brother, he hated the nickname but she still kept calling him that. She was just 20 years old and she was smallish.

She had round pretty eyes and small lips, she seemed friendly but she was not she was something else.

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that?" Prince Lester replied to his sister with his eyes glued to the book he was reading.

"This is the 5,789th time you've told me to stop calling you that." She said and smiled.

Lester looked at his sister surprised that she was keeping count of all the times he told her to stop calling him 'prince charming.

"Gosh, you are so weird." He teased and he came to her and hugged her, for somne unknown reasons he was very careful when it came to his little sister, she was Someone not to be messed with.

"So tell me why did you cancel your concert? I was looking forward to it." She pouted as she hugged him.

"I had to attend the ball., Lester said and sighed.

"I didn't expect you to come, but you showing up with Nike shoes and a black leather jacket to a ball was worth it. You should have seen the look on Father's face." She giggled and Lester chuckled. Prince Lester and Amanda were very close, Lester always treated Amanda as if she was his pet, he loved Amanda more than the rest of his siblings.

"Im sure he is so proud of me."

"Indeed, he is." Amanda replied him sarcastically and rolled her eyes. Her face immediately lightens up and she started nudging her brother with her finger.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Lester frowned slightly when she continued poking him.

"Tell me who that girl was." There was now a mischievous look on her face.

"Which girl?" Lester pretend like he did not know what his sister was talking albout.

"The girl you passionately danced with yesternight?"

"I don't know what you are talking about and stop poking me with your finger."

"I won't stop unless you tell me who she is."

"I don't know, I just met her yesterday." Lester said and sighed.

"What's her name?" An evil grin crept onto his sister's face,

"would she be able to survive you?" Lester stared at his sister and then removed his eyes quickly and continued reading the book in front of him.

"I don't know," was his reply.

"You are joking, right? She's going to make sacrifices if she wants to be with you, she has to be strong but physically and mentally to be with you."

"No, I am not, I don't know her name and I don't know where she came from and I don't know what you are saying," Prince Lester pretendedd as if he hadno clue about what his sister was saying, for some of the girls he had something with in the past were not their usual self again and the reasons why they that way were unknovWn.

"You danced with her and you don't even know who she is? You didn't even care to ask?" Lester nodded and he knew he was about to receive a lecture from his sister telling him how to treat a girl in the right way.

"Then why did you dance with her?"

"I wanted to, maybe later I might get to know who she is and what her name is."

"You are so terrible, Prince Charming."

"Stop calling me that for the 5790th time." He said and his sister laughed that he too had started keeping a record of her calling him prince charming.

"I need to teach you how to treat a woman better and how to be sweeter and not this dense." She said with a grin on her face.

"Okay, ma'am." He said rolling his eyes and she peered at him.

"Let's go see a movie together, Lester."

"Not now, I am busy." Amanda came closer to him and flipped the pages of the book he was reading.

"Don't tell me you are reading history books?" She said almost laughing.

"Yes, I am. So?" Lester rolled his eyes and Amanda giggled.

"That's not nice, it's so boring, books about Gore and weird rituals are more interesting, " she said but he did not give her a reply,

"I want us to see a movie together." She pestered Lester.

"Next time we will," he replied tersely.

"And that next time shall never come." She exclaimed and Lester chuckled, the last thing he could ever do was to see a movie with Amanda.

"Im having a tour in France next week, I'm leaving this weekend." He paused. "Don't worry, when I come back from my tour we shall see a movie together, I promise you."

"Pinky promise?" She stuck out her pinky finger which was smallish and Lester intertwined his pinky with hers.

"Yes, pinky promise." She hugged him and left.

Meanwhile, one of Calvin's bodyguards had just completed. task that Calvin sent him to do. The bodyguard came to Calvin with a broad smiled on his face and bowed.

"I have found out what the name of the servant is." One of Calvin's bodyguards told him.

"Good." Calvin said smiling wickedly, he knew this was not going to take time. "What is her name?"

"Her name is Kate." His bodyguard told him and his grin became wider.

"Now tell the court mistress exactly what I tell you; have you brought a servant to this castle to insult me?
