forgotten maiden

the rude crown prince

Lily's pov

They were the popular and admirable couple that every lady of the kingdom wished to be. It was clear that she had changed the player and he fell hard. Everyone was shocked when the two broke up for an unknown reason. People often made rumours that it was my grandmother but I know her she was not the one I could feel it .the prince was devastated he eventually returned to the way he was. Although grandmother loved me she had cancelled the arranged marriage because of Andrew. Both nobles and peasants laughed and started to mock us .my life for once changed and the classes stopped as my parents were concerned about my wellbeing .finally I could paint like I wanted and life was perfect ,meeting a fellow noble guy Bessie the son of a fellow minister my life became complete. I was a girl in love and it felt like for the first time in my life my love had been returned. We both felt the same way. It seemed as if I didn’t notice that he had been interested in me. We remained like that for five years he didn’t make any intention to make himself clear that he loved me. Instead he would date other girls as a noble all u had to do was wait and hoping for a marriage proposal but it never came. Depressed and hurt I tried to distract myself from the love life and focused on myself but still deep down waiting for Bessie. the streets were quiet all my brothers were up to something when suddenly I bumped into someone .frustrated and angry I tried to slap the person then again I decided to walk away after all I had to be early .without looking I walked back home .grandmother invited us to the palace but I didn’t wanna go so the secret garden behind grandma’s palace seems nice so I told Morris where I would be. The breeze was cool and it was a perfect spot to sit .then again I bump into someone and instead of the grand catching we both fall down me on top .he couldn’t catch me twice yet it was so easy to catch Venus he is such a dumb witted good for nothing prince. This time I couldn’t keep quiet I had to speak,’ get your hands of me royal majesty I must be on my way.’ There he stood speechless I couldn’t care less. So I just walked away silently headed back to meet grandma. The day went well except for the rival kingdom that was refusing to negotiate .following that incident prince Andrew and I seemed to meet very often but mostly were arguments thus my brothers let off their guard. it was clearly we would never be in harmony with each other. It was only one day where by I finally found him to be someone I could easily confide in. I was on my way to see Bessie when an unexpected view met me .he had been busy not only flirting but also making his intention clear to a noble lady that he wanted to date her. The one thing I had longed the most the one thing he had never dared to say.so there I was disappointed and Andrew gave the company I needed. We were somewhere between the art of using each other and finding out who we are I guess. But there started an unexpected romance between two rivals in the kingdom a secret romance that no one was supposed to discover.
