chapter 2. iris knovie : fiancee meeting.

the dance began. my first dance partner was the duke and then my brother...

" are you okay lil sis?" my brother lucian asked. a 8 years old child the same feature as the duke but different hair color. he resemble the hair of my mother. silver silky hair and red eyes like my father . while i have the color blonde like my father and blue eyes like my mother.

i shokt my head.. and smile at him. " im really happy that brother danced with me."

im glad that i was born to this world.

"iris i have something for you " the music stopped and we went to the balcony to talk..

it was a beautiful night although its cold. lucian covered me with his coat. he is only 8 years why does he looked liked he is 20?

lucian patted my head and put something in my head.

it was a hair accessories. i don't know what it looks like but i can see the reflection of his eyes. the hair clip looks beautiful. like a flower and a snowflake.

"where did you get this?"

"i got this in the magic tower." oh yeah brother is a magician.

"i put some protection on it. this hair pin will protect you if someone who will try to harm you." thanked god he is not the same as my father..

" thank you brother! i will treasure this hair clip!"

i rested my head in lucian shoulders and close my eyes remembering my past life.

my past life wasn't like this before. i have a abusive family that's why i ran away to escape from suffering. but i didn't know that i suffered more after that. life is cruel but beautiful. that's why i have to keep living because i wanted to see if there's a slight hope of my life but it ended. right now my second life is much more happier i don't want to suffer from depression anymore. i want to protect this family. i want to grow happy.

i looked up to the sky it was dark but stars made it more beautiful just like a painting.

the stars are really beautiful.

since when did i start liking those stars. i never looked at the sky in my past life. because i hated it. i was never interested to it.

"milady? "

hmm?

my servants were calling for me.

"the 1st prince is here milady."

my heart pounding so fast. there are many thoughts coming from my mind. anxiety and fear is what i feel.

right. I'm sure this is a novel.

there's no way.

there's no way.

there's no way.

there's no way that i will be a heroine or a villainess. i just want to become an extra.

whenever i read about a romance novel there will be an evil villainess. the daughter of a duke.

my whole body is not moving. my heart is pounding so fast that is hard to breath.

if I'm the villainess in this novel then i have to suffer death?!

the moment the 1st prince appeared infront of me.

"milady!!!"

"iris!!!!"

my vision darkened. I couldn't see his face and completely lost my consciousness.

.

.

.

next day.

i woke up and my body feels heavy. right i collapsed when i see my fiance.

"the milady woke up!!!"

" my daughter!!"

"sis!!"

the father and son duo came and hugged me.

shaking in fear.

dang why the hell did i passed out when i heard that my fiance is coming to see me.

"umm. the prince??"

their faces darkened.

" you must be scared right? that prince?." lucian asked.

to be honest yes. i have many doubts in my mind lately. but i think im just overreacting to this one. i judged to quickly without knowing his personality.

" no. I'm not scared to the prince."

" then why did you passed out?" lucian asked.

" it just... I'm too nervous. and it's my first to meet a stranger who will be my husband too."

the duke patted my head a kissed my forehead.

" if you don't like to get married you can always come for me, talk about it and we can annualled it. your happiness is my priority my princess." he said it with a gentle voice.

" that's right my lil sis. i want you to become the happiest girl in the world.."

kindness.. i never felt like this before.. being safe in this place..

right I've been thinking too much. this is my second life now. there's nothing to worry about. father and brother will protect me.

" thank you for worrying about me. " tears flowing out in my eyes and cry as much as i want and the duke gently patted my back.

i was stressing so much... and i'm glad that the weight of my shoulders finally gone..

" dad . where's the prince? i wanted to apologize for what u just did."

the duke face darkened.

" you don't need to see that brat anymore."

"father.. calm down. he is part of imperial family... stop being so arrogant."

L- Lucian?

" oi. lucian you sound like exactly your mother."

lucian rolled his eyes. " I'm her son after all." the duke took a long sighed.

" the prince is in the dinning room. waiting for us to eat our breakfast."
