After her annoying encounter with Scott, Isabelle went back into the palace to complete her chores. She then saw Gwen, washing a pile of clothes in the washroom.”Hello, I just came to pick up some sheets.” "Hmm." Gwen hummed. Isabelle stared at Gwen from the corner of her eye. This is the girl she was going to use to get her revenge. Her roommate's sister.A part of her didn't know if the plan would work, but they could try. 'Should she start a conversation with her?'"It's been three weeks since Aurora moved in with me. How are you coping?"”I'm coping just fine. The world doesn't revolve around her." Gwen said."True, It's normal that you are trying to protect her from any type of issues with the royal family, but she doesn't get that."Gwen had a look of surprise on her face. "What did she tell you?””She told me everything that happened, she even confessed that she truly is trying to woo the king,and she believes that she's getting to him.”Like i didn't already know that. She t
”Glad you could make it, Councilman Duran.” Said Mr Parsan. ”I wouldn't miss it for anything. Mrs Parsan, beautiful as ever." He said while placing a kiss on the woman's hand. "Oh thank you, please have a seat." She said with a smile. A few maids arrived to serve tea. Mrs parson kept glancing towards the stairs, wondering when her daughter would come down.Meanwhile, Laura was still in her room, having a mental debate."Ok Laura, there's no need to panic. You just have to act yourself, nothing more. He might not even be that bad.” She then looked at herself in the mirror.Her blue dress of many layers was beautiful. The skirt flowed down perfectly., covering her feet. It hugged her waist nicely, showing off her curves. She placed her hand on her stomach, trying to breathe properly. The corset was too tight. She complained about this, but her mother didn't let the maids pay heed to her. If she continued like this, she might just pass out.”Just for an hour, you only have to endure th
The next day;"No moping around, no talks about every stunt you've pulled and try to inquire about him ok?" Said Mrs Parson to her daughter, as she adjusted her dress. Laura could only nod her head at the woman's requests. She was going to be meeting Councilman Duran today and she was nervous.'What if he doesn't meet my expectations?.' Laura thought. The few minutes she spent with him yesterday weren't enough to judge him.”And please act elegant…""Mother, that's enough. Even If I act in all of this manner it won't be the predictor of him liking me.””Of course it will! That should be every woman's attribute."”And then every woman in the world will be alike, where is the fun in that? A woman should be herself in order for a man to love her for who she is. ”Just do as I say, do not mess this up Laura da' Silva Parson.””I won't." She muttered. She looked at her reflection with a frown. She hated it when her hair was styled like this. But she couldn't do anything about it now.A mai
”So how was it? Did you two have fun? You only spent one hour, what happened..""Mother! Please i just arrived, can't you give me a break?""A break! This is about your future Laura. Now what happened?""Nothing much. We went to eat, we chatted for a while and he brought me back.”"So that's all?" "Yes mother, what else could have happened?" Laura asked her mother."Didn't you two talk about any future plans like marriage?”"And why should we? We've just started to know each other.""You aren't playing your cards right Laura. Don't you like him?"Laura pinched the spot between her eyebrows. Kilan is very good looking and has his charms. He's also sweet and thoughtful. But she wasn't sure if she liked him. Although she felt comfortable with him, that doesn't mean she's in love with him.”I don't know, I can't figure that out right away. Mom please, I'm not in a hurry. Just give me some time to know him better, that is if he wants it.”Mrs Parson gave a sigh of defeat. ”Fine, but pleas
A horse galloped across the yard of the Parson's estate. A messenger man rode this horse towards the entrance. He handed over an item, wrapped in brown paper, to one of the guards at the front.”Delivery for Laura Parson." He informed and then the man rode away.The guard then immediately went to deliver it to the lady. Laura who was in the parlour, reading a magazine with a cup of coffee in her hands, looked up when she noticed the guards presence."What do you want?""A delivery for you lady Laura." He replied and handed over the huge wrapped item. Laura inspected the package. She hasn't ordered anything, so who sent this to her? "Alright, you may leave.” Laura immediately unwrapped the package and there she saw a bouquet of daisies. Her mouth formed an o-shape. The sweet and earth scent of the flowers wafted up her nose and a smile formed onto her lips. She dug through the flowers and she found a note.”A little gift for accepting my invitation. I had an amazing time and I know yo
Kilan was in his office situated in his home. Going through some of the statements and reports of the Valpees attack. Kevin was supposed to be back. Being his assistant, he needed him by his side at all times. But Kilan also needed him to survey the village. Not like the the security there wasn't enough. He just didn't trust them completely.There's a possibility that the attack was because of the newly discovered gold mine. They wanted to carry out their operation, but the village vigilante caught them. But the vigilantes weren't fully equipped. They were killed and the commotion alerted the villagers. The villagers who were still on the streets got caught up in it and they also got killed.They escaped without a trace. They could be local thieves or gang members. Whoever they were, they need to be caught.”Councilman Duran, someone is here for you.” His butler informed.”Let them in." It was quarter past nine. Who could be here wanting to talk to him at this hour of the night? The
A few days later;After Kevin's death, the past few days became hectic for Kilan. First, he dedicated his time in preparing a proper funeral for his deceased assistant, which took place three days after his death.Although Kevin wasn't married, he still had his parents. Kilan paid his condolences to them, promising that he would always be at their disposal.After this, Kilan had to come in front of the council to explain things to them. Although the council ended up concluding that it was a mugging as they earlier suspected, Kilan still didn't believe that. "Kilan, you should try to talk to Mackenzie and see what he says." Said Kamillah. They were in his main office in the council. The chattering outside of the room made him cranky, so he slammed the door shut locked it and pulled the curtains."You seem restless, what's wrong?" She asked, walking towards his desk. He gave a frustrated sigh."Everything Kamillah. Kevin died and no one is working on the case, we don't even have any le
Two weeks later;Laura strolled down the steps at a calculated pace. Moving elegantly, she looks nothing less to that of a princess. She is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. The dress which flowed freely onto the ground, had its train sweeping the floor. Instead of the classic long sleeve, it was sewn to be short sleeved instead. Her hair was styled in a bun and in her hands was a bouquet of flowers."You look beautiful darling." Says her mother. Laura only gives her a smile. She looks towards her father to see a warm smile on his face. "Are you ready?" Her father asks. Without any delay, they were out of their house and heading into their carriage. Mrs Parson continuously stares at her daughter. It was like she was in awe. To see her only daughter getting married made her emotional.When they arrived at the church, she stared at the qqqatall building. Flowers were arranged at the entrance and petals were sprinkled on the ground. It all looked very beautiful. She links her arms w
