MEETING AN UNSMILING FACE chapter two

Celine tried to collect herself, she wasn't sure she could do it. Just then, Crown prince Logan came in without knocking seeing her almost half naked. She shrieked. Crown prince Logan laughed mockingly. "Don't worry , I'm just like prince Alexandro , I know no woman". If this idiot knew this why was he telling her to have an affair with him. She sighed already weak to the bones . "You are going to look splendid, I personally chose the dresses for you". He smiled wickedly. " I don't know if I can do this", she said . Logan said nothing, he motioned for her to put on her clothes. She quickly undressed herself Infront of him and out on the clothes. It was tight fitting and exposed her cleavages . "You look just like the right princess for him", he commended .

Before he left, he patted her and wished her luck.

 She was going to do just right.

 Celine stepped into the palace, it was lively. The music was serene and the room was well lit. She watched the men dance with their women.she searched the hall for her game; the crown prince of Xavier. Suddenly without timing and balance, she rammed into someone. When she looked up, the eyes she met bored into her soul and without thinking she knew it was the crown prince.

"Kill me, your highness . I'm so sorry". He stared at her for sometime before leaving. This was a wrong start .

"Oh, curse that foolish prince", she cursed. He knew She couldn't do it, so why in the world did he tell her to do it. 

Celine decided to flow with the party, she danced with some people, drank lightly and chatted with some chatterbox of women. Still looking for the prince, she saw him with a woman old enough to be her mother. It was certainly his mother or some random influential woman. After sometime, he left to do something. He was alone just drinking, this was her time to act. To make everything right.

Celine walked towards him and with the grace of a skilled trickster, she made her bangle hook on the buttonof his full sleeve ."ouch!" She screeched. She looked up at the unsmiling face and gulped." I'm greatly sorry, your highness". She tried to pull the bangle out but it wasn't working. She didn't think he was going act but surprisingly he did. He pulled her hands away and untangled the bangle." Thank you, your highness" , she said about to leave when he stopped her. "Do I know you from somewhere?",he asked. "No your highness. I was away from here for a long time, I just came home", she said and he nodded. His voice was calm but his face spoke a lot.

"I'm Lady Celine of Garcia, sorry for not introducing myself", she said and he nodded, he did not need to introduce himself but he did. Celine tried to start a conversation but was stopped by someone calling him. It was his mother calling him to meet someone.

At least it went well. But she didn't fail to notice that he glanced at her before leaving.

This meant hope!

"How did it go,lovely", crown prince Logan asked and she nodded . "I knew you could do it". I just had a short conversation with him", she said and he nodded quite satisfied.

"Life is step after step after all". When did this idiot become so sentimental. She had wanted to say instead she ended up agreeing with him. Before he left she asked of her sister but she got no answer. She was becoming scared . "What if he had killed sister and is just using me", she mumbled to herself. But somehow she had hope that he was taking good care of her.

Crown prince Alexandro of Xavier sat on his royal seat thinking of this lady that he met, she was not so beautiful but had an air that said she was everyone's dream. Her aura was not as dark as his instead carried light with a mixture of darkness. He wanted to see her again but didn't know why . His mind was going haywire but his face was unsmiling and looked dangerously serene...
