Pledge ( II )

Allard looked surprised. He wondered what he had done to obtain this type of animosity. Previously, Lumielle Vastillo was the one Princess of this Empire, but she was nothing more than a name. Everyone knew that the title she held was nothing more than a shiny example of how cruel the world could be. The two siblings descended from the most powerful man and had been locked inside of the Ruby Palace with nothing to their name. 

A paper Princess. She was only given the title of Princess on paper. Yet, slowly, she had become a real one. She picked up the pieces of the puzzle to shift herself into a threat. The opening of her cafe had been one that created buzz. People were curious. They wanted to know. 

Le'Havre did outstandingly well. She had taken the Emerald Palace. She had become a Princess and when Allard saw her, she didn't look like she did in the past. Her eyes were clear, bright, and beautiful. Yet, she was never alone.
