Thanks to William , Aurelia got to meet many different people with different social status. She have to thanks her father for wide spreading his business.

They all knew her father's business and they also knew Ophelia, but they had never heard or seen Aurelia.

It makes sense , how will they know about her , her father only like to show off how beautiful Ophelia is and never care about Aurelia.It was only her and her mother.

The tea party was already over. The sun was almost setting down. It was time for Aurelia to go back home , the carriage was also waiting for her. She was just standing looking at the sun as it sets when she heard some ladies talking about Ophelia.

" Ah! That Ophelia Caballero , she is such a show off , did you see how humiliated she was when the crown prince rejected her"

" Haha.. Her face was priceless, i saw her running towards the Rosary lake , she must be crying her eyes out there haha... "

Aurelia was just eardroping them and she somehow knew that Ophelia would still be in the lake, knowing that she couldn't leave her alone, she goes to the Rosary lake.

The Rosary lake was know for its beautiful red roses and for its clear water. There sat Ophelia near the lake looking down. Looking at her face , she surely must have cried alot.

" What are you doing here? Are you here to make fun of me? Was the humiliation not enough ? "

Aurelia stays silent not wanting to say anything and just looks at her.

" I hate you so much...." Says Ophelia as stands up and look straight at Aurelia.

" I hate you so much, why were you even born. If only you were never there mother would had only loved me , if only you were never invited to this stupid party i would have been the one wearing that dress, father would have been proud of me and only me, why are you even alive!!?"

Aurelia just keep looking at Ophelia , who was looking at her with anger and hatred in her eyes.

" We should go now, the night has already started to fall , Ophelia "

" Don't call me by my name! I don't want to hear it from your mouth! Just leave me alone and have fun with others....just like you always did!"

Aurelia walks towards her and slaps her. Ophelia felt quite feeling her cheek with her hand.

" I hate you as much as you hate me. I never knew why you never liked me, i thought you were those girls who just like to doll themselves up. I also know that father doesn't care about me and that he is planning to steal all my inherited money and kick me out of the mansion..."

" you...knew about father's plans....how ? "

" It doesn't matter how i got to know this... But do you really think that father actually cares about you? "

".... I know.....I know that he doesn't care about me too "

They both were silent, just thinking how differently they were similar.

" From my childhood , i never cared about you and what you do , i was in my own world " Says Aurelia as she hugs Ophelia.

" I believe you are also being controlled by father, i know you hate it very much , i know you hate me because i stole the motherly love that you always crave for"

Ophelia stays silent, the sun had already set. Ophelia couldn't say anything she hugs Aurelia back . She starts crying , they both stays like that for few more minutes.

After a while they both walks towards the carriage , ready to go back.

" Oh! Lady Aurelia your still here and Lady Ophelia is also with you " Says William as he walks towards them.

" Oh my! Your royal highness, i mean William , what brought you here? "

" I was looking after the last guest , what about you Lady Aurelia "

" I was with Ophelia in the Rosary lake, we were just taking a walk around here"

William takes a look at Ophelia , and he could tell that she had cried. He was starting to feel guilty about treating her badly. William takes out a handkerchief from his pocket and offers it to Ophelia , looking away as he did.

Ophelia looks at William she could see that he was embarrassed.

" Th..thank you , your royal highness "

" It was really rude of me that i ignored you and didn't greeted you... and on top of that i humiliated you.... Please forgive me..."

Ophelia was red in her face with such an honest apology.

" Its fine.... Really your royal highness "

Aurelia was just there standing watching them, she was witnessing a romantic scene in front of her, being out of place she tells Ophelia that she will be in the carriage.

Letting them both have a good conversation, Aurelia sats down inside the carriage looking at the stars. Even though they have resolve their hatred for each other , Aurelia couldn't really trust her completely.

You can never tell when someone will show their true colors.
