Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...this is more than the beholder could see.
"I've always known that she was a pretty one but now she's beyond beautiful. She's a goddess." Alexander thought as he stares like he has seen an angel from heaven
"Her proud entrance is what I also commend. I should have locked her in a long time ago if I had known it would be this effective."
He smirks as his thoughts went wild
Her hazel eyes... steaming so bright. Flickering between power and humility. She didn't shy away from anyone.
Raising her head high, putting everyone in their place with just a gaze... But regardless of whether she turned to be a warrior princess she is perfect.
"Let's make welcome of our wonderful princess Elena of Northern Highbury!"...
"that title is undeserving of her. She should be taught a lesson for trying to be a lazy cheap flirt. Heaven only knows what her father had told her to make her so confident"
Alexander nags in his mind...his one time encounter with princess Elena is something he finds disgusting and annoying. He wants nobody else but Isabella...
"Thank you for having me!"
She smiled effortlessly.....it got a lot of stares from some of the minister who lust on her beauty.
Exposed cleavage makes it hard to concentrate as she seat next to Alexander who was already fuming in anger
"Damn hierarchy!".....he couldn't refuse publicly... just nagging himself over and over again with a fake calm expression on his face.
Music playing as they further dig in to the alliance proper
"I want to appreciate each and every one of you for making it to this feast tonight. It is with great joy to see our kingdom moving forward along side with the Northern Highbury.
Thank you for choosing to ally with us.
Together we can build our kingdom into something spectacular, something beyond what eyes has seen nor ears have heard, beyond what the heart of men can ever comprehend!"
A perfect speech from the princess...
"My princess".... Alexander thought.
He has never been proud than he his right now. He smiles in pride
And someone did catch his smile "He looks different when he smiles..."
Ever heard of delulu...a plain delusion... that's what the poor princess Elena is suffering from
Plainly fooling herself.
"For a better kingdom!"... cheers filled the room.
The feast finally begins....
Beautiful music and chatter fills the room. The gates were open to privilege commoners.... showing unity and peace
" Don't you think you should enjoy the party?"
Isabella turns to see...then she suddenly regrets turning
"I'm enjoying it quite nicely over here!"...she suddenly wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone especially him
"You look beautiful!"... whatever he's thinking to say that...he should better think again
"Thank you Uncle....!"...that word really made him mad
"Call me Alex...like you used to! I know you're upset with the way I treated you. But the results is indeed effective don't you think?"
He smiled and Isabella finds it irritating
" Stop smiling and continue hosting the party you called up yourself."
She walked away before he could grab her
"Her anger is justified" ....he thought... giving a helpless sigh
"General! Can I have a dance with you?"...now his nemesis just arrived to make his night worse
"Sure!"...he intends to ask her questions about her brother who was to be here but hasn't shown up...
Her sudden smile is definitely rib breaking. Her front teeth needs help but then again,he can't say that out loud or it can be consequencial.
"Your brother...he refuse to show up?"
"I apologize on his behalf. He should be here soon. Perhaps he had something delay him."
He nod in understanding but then again... He do have a little interest for that her brother.
As they dance Alex could feel Isabella gaze...he smirks in satisfaction and immensed himself in dancing
"This man is a really good dancer and actor. One time he's disgusted another he's gladly dancing with her. Flirt!" She grumbled as she feast piece by piece on her snacks.
"So boring...! When is the fun starting?" She's so tired of seeing them dance, circling the stage over and over again has made her dizzy.
She beckoned to a guard
"Call the commanding chief. Tell him to bring out the surprise I prepared!"...the guard nod.
It seems the fun is about to begin
She slowly drank to that...
"She isn't looking!".... Alex thought... leaving the princess hanging he walked out!
"Why is he like this?" ....she couldn't cry. "I'll have you Alexander...by nook or by crook!"
She affirmed in her mind
The guard soon came back, signaled her and she knew it was ready.
"Can I have your attention please?"....all gave way, decorum filled the air as they waited to listen to what she wants to say.
She walked gracefully to father's seat...
No one rebutted...they were however proud
"The best aspect of the feast is yet to begin....!"
The crowd wild out in excitement
"Let the fun begin...!"she cheered
Alexander chuckled in amusement
"what is she up to?"
He too was curious of what she had set in motion.
The warriors trouped in...begins swords play...
"I've never seen a swords play before!"...one shouted
The crowd wild in astonishment. A guard stayed afar holding an apple...
"This girl is a drama queen!"
He had an idea of whatever she had planned to do.... walking fast before it was set...he stood besides her, grabbing an arrow.
Signalling a guard...another apple was set...
They both fire hitting the apple without a fail
"Wow...this is good. The general and the princess are so good at arrows!"
"Of course...the general is perfect. He's the princess teacher!"
"No he's not!" Isabella thought when she heard that
"I'm your teacher right princess?"..... Alex whispers
Isabella grunted... annoyed she pulled out her sword
"I challenge you Uncle!"...the prideful smirk on her face...you would know she has something up her long sleeve
"Okay my dearest niece. Go change!"... Alex thought it was bad t fight her in the gown she's wearing
"Don't worry, I've had vigorous training...the gown is nothing!"
The crowd ran mad hearing their princess declare this words. The queen smiles in amusement
"What a drama queen!"... shaking her head... feasting on berries she watched what will unveil
"That attention seeker...!" Someone is angry over here.
Without warning, Isabella charged at him. Their swords begin to speak words their mouth couldn't
It's clear Alex is playing with her...and Isabella is so angry she continued to charge effortlessly...
"Her strikes are powerful!"he thought
"He's too strong!" She whined.
She effortlessly swing her ball gown in between the fight and that was what amazed the people more than the swords clashing.
"Tired yet?" Alex smirk
"No! You're indeed a worthy opponent. My hands are tingling from the sensation of holding this sword for too long!"... stretching the sword at him again...she position herself and of course her dress
"Take a break...!"
"No uncle... thank you!"...that word angered him more. He intends to teach her a lesson. Charging right at her...she was indeed prepared.
She dodge his attack but there's only little she can do when he's going all out
Her sword fall off and she was left defenseless
Alex charge right at her before he could someone blocked his attack effortlessly
Everyone gaps...the hero is indeed amazing
"Prince Adrien!"....a guard came on his knees. The prince of Northern Highbury just made an entrance...
"Adrien....!" Isabella gaps..the young prince faces his beauty in distress with a breathtaking smile
"Glad you recognize me Ivana!"....
No one knows Isabella second name except him....a name she would never forget.
"Get him!"...she cheered and Alex suddenly felt betrayed. He intends to show this so called shining armour what his blade can do.
The fight last forever... Isabella was getting pissed
"Gammmm!!"....the raging bell stoped both of them
"Enough... let's have a proper feast rather than fight shall we?"
"Yes princess!" Adrien smiled... which Isabella returned as well.
Alexander was fuming in rage...
Why is he so intimate with Isabella?
