When Cece woke up she didn't find anyone around. She sighed relieved.
Coce : Thank God he's not here!
Just then he came out from the bathroom.
Arlan: Thank God who's not here?
Cece: Uhmm, I said thank God my dogs are not here.
Arlan just raised an eyebrow and said.
Arlan: Cece, why don't you come and help me get dressed.
He then opened a door or should I say l wardrobe.
Cece: OH MY GOD!!! Is that a wardrobe. It looks like my bedroom.
Arlan just smirked.
Arlan: Well, just help me get dressed. Pick the dress you want me to wear.
Cece: ok.
Cece entered the wardrobe like it was a room. Well, it looked like a room, it has stairs that you can use to enter and had a space for people to walk. Cece walked in and found the perfect dress.
Cece: Take! This is perfect.
Arlan: Who do you want to help me wear it?
Cece: Huh, should I call the guards.
Arlan: You may be from the city, but I've never heard of a guard helping a prince to wear clothes.
Cece: So, what should I do?
Arlan: Just help me wear it. I'm in a hurry and make me look very nice.
Cere: Why? Is there a special occasion?
Arlan: Does it always have to be a special occasion for me to look nice? But well, I am going to meet the Princess of Shel-hina.
Cece: Are you going to marry her?
Arlan: No! But if she's pretty I would make her my sixteenth girlfriend.
Cece: What!!
Arlan: Are you jealous? Don't worry you're my second girlfriend. My First girlfriend...
He suddenly paused.
Cece had a feeling that he was talking about her so she talking immediately changed the topic.
Cece: How should I wear the robe for you when you're wearing a bathrobe.
She instantly regreted her sentence.
Arlan: Of course, remove it from me.
Cece: S-sure.
She removed the top part of his bathrobe without looking down. Then she wore the hand of the robe but couldn't find the button hence she had to look down. Since she hadn't closed the button to the robe the top part of his chest was exposed.
Arlan: I know I'm handsome, but can you stop starring. It's kinda creepy.
Cece: I wasn't starring.
Arlan had a feeling of deja-vu as soon as she said that. But he ignored it.
Cece finished dressing him.
Cece: All done!
Arlan: Get dressed and follow me, I'm waiting for you.
Cece: Ok!
After some time Cece ome out of her separate room, and didn't find him in the room.
Cece: Where is he? Perhaps he went ahead. She asked the guards outside the room where he was and they said he was in the royal court.
Cece: So he went to leave me.
She was walling down the Corridor, when she met Eva. She could have called her from a distance but didn't want anyone to hear their names in case it reaches the damn princes ears. Once she reached where was, they both walked to the royal court.
The guard announced the arrival of the two ladies. The princes gestured to them to stand beside them. Cece and Eva stood at the right side of each prince: Just then they announced the presence of Princess Malina and Princess Solrina of Shel-hina.
As soon as the Princesses stepped in every-one gasped at their beauty.
Arlan: Don't be worried about their beauty, you're prettier than them.
Cece: Yeah, I know. But how can you say I'm beautiful, when you've not even seen my face. He didn't say anything.
The two princesses glared at the two girls and Princess Maling said, If I may ask, your highnesses who are those girls beside you. From which kingdom are they? The two princesses smirked, knowing that those girls were not royalty.
Arlan: That's not your concern. Shall we go back to business. We are talking about the trade between our two kingdoms.
Aiden: Exactly, these girls haven't even told us their names, he said while looking at them. So, how do you expect us to tell you about them, besides even though the are not royalty they got the privilege to stand next to princes. Even other royals wouldn't got such privileges.
Princess Malina nodded, Oh yes we get it. We wouldn't ask about their matters unless necessary.
They talked about trade and other stuffs until it was time to disperse.
Before Eva and Cece could walk out, the two princesses gestured them to follow them. Eva and Cece were suspicious but still followed. They finally reached the top a mountain.
Malina: I am ordering you to stay away from my future husband Aiden.
Solrina: And do stay away from my Arlan. Or else....
Cece: or else what!!
Eva: Are you going to kill us.
Malina: Oh no! She laughed, we are going to mainly teach you a lesson in which you would have preferred death
Solrina: Oh yes! We will make sure anytime you hear the word princess you would bow down and lick the floor.
They both laughed hysterically and walked away.
Cece: Are they threatening us?
Eva: You were usually the smart one, but even I can answer. Yes!!
Cece: Do you think we should truly stay away from the princes.
Eva: Hell No!!!! Who do they think they are? They're a bunch of royal dogs. They think they can boss us around like that, no way. I never wanted to stay with Aiden, but because of this, I would.
Cece: Since, you say so. I'll try, but I'm still scared. What if they harm our families.
Eva: Where and how would they find them? Tsk.
What the 2 friends didn't know, was that those two princesses heard everything they said.
Malina: So they're being disrespectful, fine we'll truly teach them a lesson
Solrina: Let's forget, tommorow is a banquet hall. Let's hope the princes choose us and not that servant pigs.
Malina: They can't choose maids over princesses. They must be very ugly for them to cover their faces with a veil like that.
Solrina: Well, let's see what unfolds. We have to hurry for tonights dinner. We would be eating with all the royals.
Malina: I hope those two insects would not be there.
Solrina: Didn't you hear for ROYALS.
Malina: Well, okay. Then I have to look my best.
Solrina: I'm going to order the prettiest ruby gown ever.
Malina: Well, I want a dress made of pearls!
Solrina: Then what would you wear for the banquet.
Malina: Have you forgotten the dress mom gave us, the one made of a goddesses scales.
Solrina: The golden one? I am surely wearing that.
