CHAPTER 1
Stella's POV:
The gleam of the blue sky and placid sunshine poured through the curtains of my room. With a comforting stretch and a silent yawn I sat up straight and couldn't help but smile; everything for once seemed perfect in my life and for the first time I actually felt like a true fairytale princess. I got up from bed and stared at my reflection in the grand mirror. My long blond hair was tied in a messy ponytail but for the first time I didn't seem to care as I Princess Stella at last was engaged.
"Ah! At last the awaited princess is awake" joked a voice as I entered the royal dining room. Recognizing that familiar voice I couldn't help but smile - it was Brandon and as usual his sense of never ending humor was alive. "Well what can I say a princess is just never late, it's just the others are early" I replied as he kissed my forehead. "Spoken like a true princess" said king Radius as he entered the room looking grand as ever. "so what did I miss?" I asked as I waited for the servent to bring my breakfast. "Well sweetie I'd like you to meet someone" said king radius as he gestured towards the door "this is Vandor my new advisor".
With that introduction entered a tall and rather skinny guy, probably in his thirties, whose face was covered with a French style mustache and wore a cloak double the size of him. "Oh, nice too meet you" I said as I gracefully gestured in a bow. "The pleasures all mine, your majesty" vendor said as he kissed the backside of my hand. At that very moment I felt an uncomfortable vibe spread in my whole body. Before even turning to Brandon for help, he at once cleared his throat loudly causing Vandor to quickly let go of my hand and turn his attention towards Brandon. As my dad continued telling us about how vendor was my grandfather's advisor I couldn't help but just observe him quietly. Something about this guy was not right. "So what do you say Stella?" king radius asked me and at once all eyes were on me and awkwardly I just replied "uhm…great". Surprisingly daddy found this answer satisfactory and then left me and Brandon alone in the dining room as he accompanied Vandor to the palace library for further discussions. My gaze still followed Vandor suspiciously as he left the room.
Brandon's POV:
Confused I watched Stella continue to stare towards the door and without hesitation I asked "is every thing alright?" My voice seemed to have broken her from the trance and she at once replied "I don't know, something about Vandor is just not right". I shook my head and tried to change the topic, "I got a call from eraklyon" just hearing that word saddened her face " Skye says that his father wants me to accompany him to his meeting with the king of vutdam, who personally invited me , in order to congratulate me as the new knight of eraklyon". "Oh" she said "so when do you suppose you will come back?" "I promise I will be back in three days" I said as I gently grabbed her hand "will you be alright?" At once she looked at me with her beautiful hazel eyes "of course I will" she smiled "come on what could happen to me in a palace". I couldn't help but laugh "you have a point there" at once her smile turned upside down "are you leaving today?". Unfortunately my answer had been yes and after a brief farewell I headed towards my room to pack my things and then left for Eraklyon still wishing I could stay.
Stella's POV:
"So much for my fairytale" I thought out loud sadly. Ever since Brandon had become knight he barley had time for anyone not even himself! Now what am I suppose to do for three days! Sigh! I breath as I layed on my bed that after noon. Since daddy had gone to deal with a situation in the kingdom I was left all to my self which I personally was not enjoying. Bored I decided to go in the gardens but on my way when I passed the balcony I noticed Vandor standing there watching me with an awfully uncomfortable smile which I for one did not like….
