We reached the Royal palace. I hope dad has already reached. During the carriage ride, things were quite awkward. As the carriage was like a jelly bouncing on every stone that came on path which made me fall in hands of crown prince. It was so embarassing.

'I think you were enjoying it hehe~' shut up and stop laughing like that it so creepy. Just before we were departing, Frost changed into a diamond brooch which then I pinned on my dress. I found out that he can obtain the shape of the things he see if the required amount of mana is met.

And now Michael and have same brooch.

Then why can't you change into a human? 'Master remember your mana is still not fully opened.' That's right.

Anyways, you shitty reptile why did you have to copy his brooch out of all the things in the world?! 'I thought you will be happy, you know' Well I am, still.

We walked towards the Jasmine white palace. As I set foot on the garden of the palace memory flooded to my mind.

.

"Your highness it is best to wait inside." "No Emma I would like to wait here for his highness and did you see Natalia?"

"No your highness" I stood up and walked to the fountain. I let my hand sink in the water.

"Your highness it's getting cold you should rest inside." I shook my head. Emma gave up saying after then.

She gave me scarf and help me put it. "You have to take care of your health your highness."

"It's ok Emma." "Still-"

The sound of footsteps drew in.

"Greeting your highness second prince, may god helia bless the moon of the empire."

I went and hugged him. But he shrugged off.

"My princess tomorrow morning please come to my study room" and he left.

Just then Natalia came, "What happened Natalia, where were you?"

"I am sorry your highness, to make you worry about me." she cried.

"No problem, Natalia it's ok" and I embrace. (Why do I feel that I have become a maid)

NEXT MORNING

As usual I greeted him and sat on sofa. (what the all looks hella expensive)

"I want you to meet my lover" (Ouch my heart I feeling pain in memory) my body stopped for a second.

My breathe became heavy. I nodded.

He stood up and went to the door. Is he escorting her himself? (Wow I can hear thoughts too)

"Let me introduce, my lover Natalia Desiteria."

With the mention of the name, the blood in my body was sucked up, I clenched my hands on my knees.

Let it be someone else was my thought but it is crashed so easily.

"I am sorry your highness, I tried my best not to open my heart but- I am really sorry

your highness, I have sinned, please punish me"

"No it's ok" I can't even say a word. (what the shit is going on, I want to kick in their asses)

"Then I will be returning to my room now." I got up and walked to the door. (are you serious girl!!)

My body feels heavy. "And she will be becoming my concubine"

"As you wish your highness, may God helia bless the moon of the empire." and closed the door.

The tears which I was holding back, flooded. My cheek is burning.

My mind was complete mess. As I held Michael's hand, he looked at me puzzled. "Are you ok my lady, why are you crying?" I didn't realised that I cried, It's too much pain. He wiped my tears with his hands. "Don't worry I am with you my lady." His smile reassured me.

That's right Catherine, that guy, second prince has messed with the wrong person. I will avenge for you and will get you justice.

'I will also help you master!!' Sure you cutie. '(blush)'

Did you just blush, the brooch turned slight pink.

He ignored. Ya Ya go on ignoring~

As we reached near the door, the guards announced,"His highness, The Sun of the Empire crown prince and Lady Catherine of Denver family is making their entrance."

As we entered, all the eyes were on us, it felt like blades. This is the worst feeling. "Don't worry lady, I am here with you." Yes that's why I could stand now. "Catherine" dad came to me with a glass in his hand. I wanted to hug him but if I do it here.

Dad came and hugged me. Ya who cares. It gave me more stability to my mind. "Ahem, won't you try this wine, it's really tasty." I gave it a try.

Umm it's sourness is perfect and oh god. "Is this aged wine?" He smiled. Wait the duke smiled, like I have never seen him smiling in her memory.

Just then the guards announce the entrance of the second prince and the princess. As I was going to greet, Michael whispered, "you don't need as your my partner." Really! That's really good. I held crown prince hand and walked with him as he walked towards the couple or should I call bitches.

"Congratulation." Uh? Is that it? "Thank you your highness" I can see the twitched smile on the second prince.

"I congratulate, Second Prince and Princess, for the engagement"

"Oh isn't this my ex wife, how have you been?" Suddenly so caring? As if that bastard. "I am fine your majesty"

"Please enjoy the ball lady Catherine." "Yes Princess Natalia" She has started the game.

After that Michael and I got separated as many people surrounded him. I went to the food table, thank you god I can now peacefully eat these foods. I started with the dessert, yummy so delicious!! This cake is so soft, it's melting in my mouth. 'Slow down master don't eat like pig, remember the etiquette, remember Belinda mam' Shit if she sees me like this I am doomed.

"Who is this? Isn't this lady Catherine?" A girl with blonde hair similar to mine but a bit dull. Who are they? Is it someone I know? "Ah yes I am lady Catherine, what happened?"

"Don't you know her lady? A girl next to the the Blondie asked me. "I am sorry but I didn't recognise" The blondie's face went pale.

"She is the most beautiful lady in the empire and the next empress Claire Elvin." So what should I do about this girl.

"Oh nice all the best" they are so irritating. "Hey where are you going? Can't you see I am not done talking." I sighed. "Ya then what is that you want to talk."

"As a divorced lady you should be ashamed of yourself to show your face in the palace. You should be knowing your place before coming to palace, that to with his highness Crown prince." My body shivered. 'Master should I just freeze them whole' No need, they are just asking for their funeral from me, so I should give it to them happily.

"Excuse me but I don't feel ashamed and I am going to show my face every place so I think you will be disturbed so you should just sit at your home."

"How dare you talk like that to me?" She took the glass of wine and as she poured it on me, an ice shield appeared.

Is this your doing Frost. 'No it was not me.' "You have quite the guts to pour the wine on my niece."

I turned back and to my surprise, "Aunt Belinda"
