Bride

"Father, father" Chloe shouted as she got into her father's room

"What is it my dear Princess?" her father asked with a smile

"My sister has decided to end the engagement between her and George," she said

"So I've heard", he said and sighed

"What will you do about it and what about my marriage to Emperor Deimos?" she asked

"I can not do anything about it nor can I provide any further information about your possible engagement. Emperor Deimos came today and told me he shall choose a bride between you and your sisters at the ball", he said and one could already see the smile on Chloe's face.

"Well that is great, we all know he will choose me, I'll go get myself ready for the ball, see you soon Father and find a way to fix the issue of your daughter before I get my mother to fix it", she said and left

"Your majesty, do you plan to choose a bride tomorrow?", Felix asked

"Of course not", Deimos answered him

"That is a relief", Felix said and smiled

"For I have chosen my bride today", Deimos said and smiled at him

"You can not be serious, marriage is not a game and in your case, it is very important that we find the right bride" Felix said

"I have found the right bride, she will be my wife tomorrow, even the goddess knows it" he said and smiled

"You are never so rational, what is so different about this woman?" Felix asked curiously

"She has a charm only I could notice by chance, a charm that she kept hidden from others all these years, she is an interesting character", he said and stood up from his chair

"Where are you going?" Felix asked

"To see my fiancée" Deimos shouted as he walked away

'He had gone crazy' Felix thought to himself

It was unlike the emperor to smile while talking about someone, it was unlike him to praise someone so easily and it was most definitely not like him to go see someone more than once a day.

"It is a beautiful day today," Sophia said as she walked with Athena

"It honestly is, it's great to be back here," Athena said and smiled

"Yes it is princess" Sophia said and smiled at her

"I've been thinking, I don't want to stay here any longer, I will talk to my father and the emperor of our kingdom about removing me from the Abato tree line, that's if I ever was there," Athena said

"If that's what you wish for princess, you know that I will always follow you no matter where you go and what you do," Sophia said

"Thank you Sophia, but you have your own life and I would never forgive myself if I knew that I was ruining it" Athena said to Sophia

"Listen, Athena, you and I are friends and I am willing to die with you, my life is with you, once you start pushing me away, you will be ruining my life," Sophia said sternly

"I hear you and I'm happy that you have called me Athena once more," Athena said

"That is the only way to get your attention" Sophia said and they both laughed

"ATHENA, ATHENA !!!" they both heard and when they looked where the yelling was coming from, it was from Earl George who was sitting at the outside table of a bar that was famous among nobles

Athena walked towards him to avoid any unwanted further attention

"Sit with me Princess" George said to her

"Sophia, go back" Athena said and Sophia nodded her head and headed back

"Of course, Earl George" Athena said and sat down
