Chapter 8: seizure of power?
King Elmond, Queen Lydia and Lady Evariste looked at me as if they was something wrong with me.
"Are you okay?" Asked the Queen touching my forehead
"Don't you know how your brother look like?" Evariste asked
'Oups'
"It's because he so handsome dressed this way" I said with forced smiled
"It's true , he so handsome" said Evariste
Prince Ace arrived at their spot with every body looking at him.
"Father" he greeted "mother" he greeted too
"Your sister and you decided to avoid us" said Queen Lydia
"No mother, I was really busy all these days" he said
"I told your sister that from this night, she's going to stay here and that she should find a husband" said Queen Lydia
Ace just smiled. He didnt want to argued with his mother because he knows already that she doesn't change her mind easily.
He looked at Lady Evariste(eva) .
"How are you lady Evariste?" He asked
"I'm find my prince" she bowed
He nodded.
"All the family is assemble again" said someone
They looked at where the voice was coming.
"Garyl, my brother" said king Elmond with a smiled
"I thought you wouldn't come in the party" he added
"As you can see I'm here" he smiled
"My niece, my nephew….. lady Evariste" he kissed the knuckles of lady Eva.
In the document that Ace gave me for the information that I had to know about Logane was that Garyl is the elder brother of king Elmond. The question I asked myself was that why is that he's not the actual king of Irischester.
"Lady Evariste will you have a dance with me?" Sir Garyl asked
"Yes my lord" she responded and they went and danced
"Brother , can you danced with me?" I asked and he accepted. My so brother had answers that only him can answered to me.
.
.
.
Well, dancing valse wasn't that easy but I wasn't that bad. Mrs Mendel did a very good work.
"You went from blond hairs to red hairs" I said sarcastically
He stayed quiet .
"Your appearance too was a totally lie. You went far as changing your appearance?" I continued.
No answer.
"Now, I think that Duncan is totally dead now" I said sadly
"I didn't want someone to recognize me" he finally spoke
I chuckled "it's funny. Dawncity is a small town , how will someone recognize the prince of Irischester" I said sarcastically
"I didn't want to take any risk" he said still with his stoic expression
"How did I not pay attention to that, all the royal family had red hairs actually. How come I did not asked myself why was that you were blond" I said
He shrugged.
"You're a great actor. I can just greet you for that, you're not like me" I said
We continued to danced, when Garyl and Eva passed near us.
"Sir Garyl, isn't he the first son of the family Rays?" I asked
"Yes he is , why?" Answered Ace
"Wasn't him supposed to be the actual king of the kingdom? As for other kingdoms"
"In irischester, it's not the first son that is supposed to be the crowned king but the second , even if the royal family had more than 2 children" he explained
"But you're not the second son" I said
"It's because my sister is a girl and she cannot be the crowned king. It's the law here, women can't be crowned"
"Strange law" i said
"You have to be very careful with him. He's a great observer. He can detect easily that you are not the real princess" he said
At the moment he said that Garyl came.
"My niece can I have a dance with you?" He asked
I gulped interiorly but I accepted.
"You look different" he said with a smile
"Uhmm, What do you mean by different, uncle? I asked worried
"I don't know, there's something" he said
"It's just your imagination" I replied
He looked me straight in my eyes, as if he wanted to see something. I felt very uncomfortable at the moment, such pressure. Ace told me that he's the one that I have to beware of , if he discover my identity I'm dead.
The awkward silence between us was broken as the music stop.
"I have to go princess" he said
I nodded. We both left the dancing place.
All that night, lady Eva make eyes to Prince Ace but Ace to be very far as if something was worrying him.
I was already tired . I'm not use to this kind of party. It is so boring.
I went out. In the garden of the castle to take air.
The garden was beautiful with different kind of flowers and with few Fontaines .
I walked in the garden when I noticed two people talking in the dark. I approached to hear what they was saying.
"It remain 48hours left before our operation, I hope everything is ready" one said
"Yes boss, everything is already in place"
"Perfect! The royal family is not ready to what will happen to them in 48hours"
'What? They are going to do seizure of power? Kill the royal family?' I thought
I was going backward , I crushed something I didn't see , it was in the dark.
The two guys turned.
"Who's that?!!!!"
'Damn'
