The man moves back giving her, her personal space. Aurelia finally gets to have a look at his face.
He had pale skin, black straight hair and beautiful but sharp golden eyes. Aurelia felt quite , but quickly turn her head looking away, not wanting to make it look awkward.
She takes another look at him, at his golden eyes.
" Wait... Aren't you prince Raden Catalán"
" Yes.."
" Oh my god, his royal highness , prince of Therondia , i am sorry i didn't recognize you"
" Its fine.."
They both felt quite , not knowing what to say.
" So.. What is your name ? "
" Oh! Goodness i never introduced myself, my apologizes my name is Aurelia, Aurelia Caballero"
"Ah! Your Mr Caballero daughter, he is pretty famous for his business in the emperor, i visit him pretty often , but i never saw you "
" I see, i never saw you either his royal highness "
" I will walk you back to your mansion if you don't mind, lady Aurelia"
" .... I'll be happy if you'll do so his royal highness"
They both walk together , no one spoke a thing ,nothing really happened on the way back to the mansion.
" We have reached his royal highness, i think you should take your leave too , i can't thank you enough for saving me back there his royal highness"
Raden takes her hand and kisses the back of the hand.
" Lady Aurelia right?.... We shall meet again , i really had a great time talking to you " Says prince Raden as he let her hand go and leaves.
When she enters the mansion she was greeted by her worried father.
" My dear Aurelia! Why did you left all of a sudden without saying a word! Do you know how worried i was dear"
She knew and could clearly see he wasn't worried about her, he was worried about her inherited money.
" i am sorry father, i just went for a little walk , i didn't wish to make you worry " said Aurelia as she gives him a smile.
" Good good , you should go back to your room then"
Morning , when they were all having tea together. A letter arrived.
" My is this letter for me, i guess i got another invitation for a tea party, oh! I am such a busy lady " says Ophelia as she looks at Aurelia giving her a smirk.
"....wait what!! " says Ophelia when she read the letter , it actually was addressed to Aurelia.
" What a letter for me ?" Says Aurelia as she takes the letter from Ophelia hands.
It a royal letter addressed to Aurelia , which was really unexpected. Its an invitation for a tea party.
Her father Mr Caballero jump up with excitement, that Aurelia got an royal invitation.
" Dear Aurelia , my daughter you have got a royal invitation, thats really good! I mean good for you of course darling, why don't you wear that beautiful dress i bought yesterday Aurelia"
" But father! That's my dress ! You bought it for me ! I haven't got the chance to wear it father!"
" Dear Ophelia , don't be like that sisters should share things with each other , alright Aurelia get ready I'll arrange the carriage for you dear, and dear! Don't forget to talk about our business alright"
After Aurelia got ready , the carriage was taken out for her. Her beautiful yellow hair with blue eyes with that beautiful dress has made her even prettier than her sister Ophelia.
Ophelia looking at Aurelia was getting jealous but couldn't do anything as she never disobey her father.
The carriage take off to the royal castle. Aurelia knew all this kindness of her father was surely fake, he just wants to wide spread his business among the royals. Its not like she cares about any of that anyway , as long as she could stay away from them that's all it matters to her.
The carriage reaches the royal palace. The garden of the royal palace was elegantly decorated. Aurelia was just looking around with curiosity.
She didn't know anyone there so she was on her own company.
" Oh! lady Aurelia, i am really glad that you come to the party" said William as he stands beside her.
" I should be grateful that you invited me here, your royal highness"
" I am just William for you " says William smiling at her.
They were just chatting when suddenly Ophelia comes in front of them, which was really surprising. Did she too got an invitation to the party, Aurelia thought to herself.
" Ah! Your royal highness , i am so grateful meeting you in person "
" Your Ophelia Caballero aren't you ?, i don't remember sending you an invitation " says William still smiling , but his eyes were not smiling.
" Haha.. Yes i came with a friend she invited me. So i am not exactly uninvited am i"
Ophelia gives her hand in front of William, waiting for him to take her hand and welcome her.
William takes a look at her hand , knowing what her intentions are he take Aurelia hand instead and kisses the back of it, completely ignoring Ophelia.
" I didn't greet you properly when we first met, please forgive me for that my lady "
Ophelia was shock with such actions of Crown prince William. Being humiliated Ophelia turns and leaves with a red face.
" Shall we go and join in the party, we are still not done talking right? " Says William smiling which he always does.
"....Ah.. Yes, we should join others"
