Chapter 4

Annabeth's POV

"She is a great girl, you are lucky to have her. I am sorry for this arrangement. Honestly, I envy you; you experienced love, while I never experienced it." I said going inside my room.

"It is okay, it is not your fault you have to be married to Me." he said before I close the door.

I sighed.

Maybe if I ran away- no, what if I – ugh! You're so stupid Annabeth. I changed and fell asleep feeling sorry for Piper, I know how she feels. She's not a good actress like her dad.

The next day

After changing into a pink girly dress- I- hate -so –much- my mom-gave-me and brushing my hair , suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Yes?" I asked opening the door.

"Breakfast is ready, your highness." The girl said.

"I'll be there in a minute" I said closing the door after she left.

I put on black flats and went down to the dining hall.

I sat down beside Jason, across Thalia, Jason's big sister.

"I've invited Princess Piper and Prince Percy to stay here for one week until the wedding, they'll be here this afternoon" King Zeus said.

Jason choked real badly.

"Jason is there a problem?" I asked

"Yeah Jason, is there a problem about PIPER and Percy coming here?"

"No" Jason replied

"Are you sure? Oh and yeah dad there's a problem with the PIPES in our room" Thlaia said not taking her eyes off Jason

"But there's no problem-" Nico said but Thalia nudge his arm

"Yes there is"

I tried so hard not to laugh, but a small giggle escaped my lips.

"Oh Annabeth I heard your cousin Grover likes reed PIPES"

"Yes he does"

"Got a challenge for you Jason"

"What?" Jason asked irritated

"Can you say PER-MCLEAN-PI ten times?"

Nico said it silently and he finally got it and smirked.

"Thalia, Jason, is there a problem?" King Zeus asked silencing the table.

"No dad" Thalia smirked at Jason who was clenching his fist on the table.

After eating, Jason and walked outside and strolled in the garden for a while.

"Sorry about Thalia awhile ago" he said breaking the silence.

"It is okay, no offense but I really find very funny" I said honestly

I laughed half-heartedly.

"Sorry" I said

"It is okay."

We sighed

I saw Piper walking towards us.

"Hey, how's it going?" Piper asked hugging me. We sat down the bench

"Fine, how about you?" I asked back.

"Fine, how about you Jason?"

"Fine, uhh where's Percy?" sitting down

"He will be here any moment now"

"Too bad, I have to go, sorry I said leaving them alone sitting on the bench.

I went upstairs to Thalia. Before I could knock Nico opened the door.

"Oh, Annabeth, come in Thalia's inside" he said letting me in

"Annabeth!" Thalia hugged me

"Nico can you please leave us?" Thalia said

"Why?" he asked

"Girl talk"

"Bye" he kissed Thalia before he left the room. Awww how sweet

"Do you like my brother?" she asked right after Nico left
