Chapter 7: Is this prince Ace?
We have passed all the journey of this Sunday with madam Mendel teaching me all what was necessary for tomorrow.
I never had much informations to keep in my head, even though I was serving at a restaurant. Taking and keeping food order for many people is much easier than this.
It was 7pm when we finished. I was so tired, my head was aching , all I wanted now was to bath, eat and sleep for tomorrow. I climbed directly in my room and took the bath that the maids prepared.
In the Ace's office.
"How was it madam Mendel?" Ace asked calmly
"My prince, just one day wasn't sufficient to learned all the bases but I think she can manage" Mendel said
"I hope they will not notice" he said worried
Madam Mendel smiled "She learned very fast , she is a good student" she said and then added "What I think you should do Before your crowning day that is in 72h, is that you should search an acting teacher because her acting is very bad . She doesn't know how to lie.
"Okay Madam Mendel. Thank you very much" He said
She bowed and then left.
.

.
I was in my room waiting for my food like yesterday and memorising certains things madam Mendel tought me today, when someone knocked.
"Enter" I said
I saw three maids entering in my room. One having a dress , another having jewelries and shoes.
"What's it?" I asked wondering
"Prince Ace, told us to prepare" you for dinner, you will eat with him today" one maid said
'Why? Or he wants to see my progress of today?' I thought
I stood up from my bed and the maids prepared me.
.
.
.
.
I entered into the dining room, we could just hear the sound of my heels making steps.
I didn't know how to walk with heels before and I wasn't aware that walking with heels was very complicated and having rules.
At the moment prince Ace saw me his eyes widened for few seconds and then vanishes.
"Good evening my prince" I bowed politely while holding the dress and then I sat opposite to him.
Prince Ace was staring at me, he didn't move an eye off me since the moment I entered. The servants brought the food and the cutlery.
I did exactly as madam Mendel tought me, she indicated to me all such of forks and spoons, glasses and all the rest.
"You learn very fast" he said
I cleaned my mouth.
"It's madam Mendel that's a good teacher. We have learned all the journey" I said
"Good" he said with stoicism
Still with his same expression he added " You will go to the palace without me"
"What??!" I almost shocked
"I have things to do before I will meet you after. I thought that I will have to go with you directly but I can see that you know already the bases" he said
"But what if they ask me questions about something concerning the royal family or something like that" I panicked
"They will not. Their focus will be on me since the party is mainly for me, so don't worry about that" he assured me
"Then okay" I said
I wasn't very assured but I didn't have a choice.
.
.
.
The day of the party arrived. I was very stressed, my hands were wet and trembling. I took a deep breath as the acting teacher learned to me this morning telling me that every time before I start to play a role I should take a deep breath.
The car was waiting for me already. I was in the entry of the mansion stressing like never.
"You have a good hairstyle, a beautiful dress, a beautiful smile. You can do it Amber-ruby" I tried to assure me
I finally entered inside the car, direction to the castle of Irischester.
.
.
.
The castle of Irischester in Orlie-gham was amazing. From the exterior to the interior it was just wonderful.
People were already dancing and drinking. I directed myself to were the king and Queen were. They will be the first people that I have to convince.
"Your Majesty" I greeted
"My dear daughter, I thought you wouldn't come" said the king Elmond
"And miss this party that was specially organized for my brother? Never your highness" I said
"Well, Your brother and you prefer to stay in the mansion rather in this castle" said Queen Lydia
I smiled.
"You have to stay here Logane, a princess stay inside a castle. Plus, it will be an occasion for you to search a man" she added
"But mum" I said
"No, don't say anything. Logane you're already in an age to get a husband. I even thought of the Duke's son . The belvian family is a very good family" Queen Lydia said
"And he's a close friend to me" the king Elmond said
"I Hope they will come today" said Queen Lydia
'I understand why Logane wanted to live a normal life before she died. It's stressful' I thought
' Wait a minute! Her parent are not worried about her health? They don't ressemble to parent that their only daughter will die'
"Lady Evariste From the Belvian family just arrived" they announced
"She's so beautiful!" One said
"The rumors says that she will married prince Ace after his crowning" said another one
"She came alone?" Another uttered
Even with this music, I could here how people were just speaking about the lady. She came to our direction.
"Your highness" she greeted
"Eva! You came but where's your dad and your brother" asked the queen
"My father told me to beg his non attendance among us. Father and my brother had something to do in another kingdom but they will be there in the crowning ceremony" she said
"Oh! There's no problem" said Queen Lydia
"Atleast you came" said the King
"Yes your Majesty, I couldn't miss the party organized for my future spouse" she smiled
'Are they just going to married the royal family with the belvian family?' I wondered
She then turned to me.
"Logane , it's been a while. Long time you didn't came to Baltimore" she said
I smiled "It's true, I was occupied but promised I will come"
She smiled.
" The prince and the future King of Irischester just arrived. Prince Ace!!!" They announced
Everyone attention was focused in the entry to see the prince.
"This is him!"
"Prince Ace"
"He's so handsome"
All the ladies were murmuring and were just fascinated.
But the person who just entered is not the prince I know.
The person who just entered had Red-short haired with earrings, he had mars-brown eyes, tall and with light brown skin complexion , very charismatic his aura was very strong.
"Is this prince Ace?" I asked
They turned and looked at me as if I was mad.
