forgotten maiden

the behavioural aspects

Lily’s pov

Mother always reminded us of what grandma had said about proper behaviour and she made it a point that grandma’s words would echo in our minds and heart .being the daughter of the prime minister isn’t easy at all .every generation it has been a culture that the royal family marry into the prime minister family .well the current grand dowager is my grandmother’s sister.so well etiquette, style and perfection runs in our family .the palace is just like my second home the king feels indebted to us because instead of marrying my aunt he angered his mother by marrying into another noble family. However, this time it is a must to marry into the current prime minister family which is our family. I do hate the crown prince but the queen and grandmother love me very well and I’m like the perfect girl for him. A marriage proposal is yet to be announced but it is so obvious that well I am to be the next queen.my life is a living hell though it’s not easy being the only girl and bride to the future emperor .my every move has to be perfecto .my four brothers are like pillars preventing any man from approaching or even thinking about approaching. Well I’m the furthest from the image my mother portrays me as I’m good at archery painting and swordsmanship but when it comes to embroidery or even cooking I’m the worst.my twin brother Leslie is however the opposite of me as he is good at embroidery etiquette and cooking so well we always swap places . While I attend his classes he will be doing mine thus keeping up my image high. I’ve no friends according to mama friends are the most unproductive and betrayers in the world .but I kinda talk to this girl named Venus she is kinda the second best no lets rephrase that she is the best after my brother. The day has finally come where the prince and I are supposed to meet officially in order to arrange our engagement .here is the image of Andrew I know he is a player he is always being reprimanded for being seen with different girls daily. Andrew hates me if not maybe we shouldn’t go to like. I’m always the one who spreads who he is to the public or providing evidence for him to be caught. Well I admit I have had a crush on him since well my father decided that we stay in the capital hummingbird .it hurts knowing he never cared to talk to me frustration and unrequited childhood led me here. Clearly knowing he is coming to our training centre I avoided him by not telling Leslie knowing clearly he wouldn’t agree to our swap. Everything was going on until I saw Andrew then my heart hurts he would rather do archery than meet me. This time my role as Leslie will work out perfectly .there I was on a duel and almost winning when my older brother Morris distracted me, well it is almost a grave crime to defeat the crown god knows they are not even good. That is only when he is reminded that he needs to meet me. I don’t know why suddenly I wanna meet him. there I was running to the training centre when Andrew caught someone about to slip well no it wasn’t me it was Venus the perfect girl .that was when a romance of two years started everyone knew them I acted like I didn’t care. They were the perfect Cinderella and prince charming but my grandmother vowed to break them apart. He didn’t love me but Venus made him happy so I was content .she also seemed perfect she would sure make a lovely bride .but my story with prince wasn’t over yet.
