Chapter 9-Are you Princess Iris?

Iris was about to enter the carriage when she noticed her locker was missing.

"Madam Selane". Iris called.

"What's the matter now". Madam Selane responded, annoyed.

"My locket...I think it's missing". She exclaimed, putting her hand on her forehead.

"What locket did you misplace now". She questioned.

"Madam Selane I'll be back just give me a moment".

Iris ram back into the palace without waiting for her to reply. She walked down the hallway and stopped, looking at Prince Ryan and in his hands were her locket.

"Oh no!". She gasped, rooted to the spot when someone suddenly called her name.

"Iris". Prince Ryan called, looking up to face her.

"My locket, give it back". Iris managed to say, as she walked foward about to snatch the locket from his hand when Ryan gripped her hand.

"Let go". Iris yelled, forgetting he was from a royal lineage.

"Are you Princess Iris?". He asked, not letting go.

"No! I'm not I'm just Iris". She blurted out, trying to control her pounding heart. She didn't expect him to have ask such a question.

"Stop lying". He growled at her.

"Don't you know how hard I tried to find you now you're telling me to let go". He said as he pulled her closer.

"And how's that my business". I don't even know you". She argued.

"But I do... You're my wife to be". He replied as he let go of her hand as she jacked backward.

"What!". She exclaimed. " What did you just say".

"I said that you're my wife to be". He replied.

"Prince Ryan, you must have mistaken me for someone else". Iris tried to explain. "I only came back for my locket so hand it back". She demanded.

"Oh!sure I'll hand it back but you have to come with me". À sinster smile, plastered on his face.

"What do you want from me". Iris asked, giving him a suspicious look.

"Nothing much just come along and you'll know soon". He replied holding onto her hand leading her back into the hall when a voice stopped them.

"Madam Selane". Iris whispered.

"Where do you think you're going". She asked separating them

"Madam Selane, the prince... he's with my locket". She tried to explain.

"And so, it's not like he's running away with it. You can just get it next time". Madam Selane explained.

"But... it's important I get it". She complained, trying to set free from Madam Selane and run after Ryan who was now entering the hall.

"Enough Iris, what's all this rubbish". Madam Selane shouted."come with me right this instant or forget about your job at the pub". She threatened.

"Madam Selane, you can't do this to me, the locket is important to me as well asy job at the pub, please". She begged.

"Listen Iris, I'm not stopping you from getting your pocket I'm only saying you should get it another time by for now, we have to leave". She replied dragging Iris down the hallway.
