Hey! well here is a next chapter, a little confrontation between the Charming siblings. I know it's pretty short, so tomorrow you know there will be an update.


"Turn for me" the Queen said, loving how the dress looked on her daughter.

Darling had to admit, it was a truly beautiful dress, very unlike her other gowns, but still astonishing.

Behind them, the two players appeared after the practice .

"Well, mother, you outdid yourself with this year's dress" Daring complimented "little sister, you truly look gorgeous"

"Thanks" she smiled tenderly, then she looked at her friend "how was your afternoon?"

"We made some improvements in the plays" she raised an eyebrow at Daring

"We will run them at practice to see if they work"he countered with the same cunning look on his face

"They will" she folded her arms proudly.

"Daring, since you are here, you might want to try your coat, see if it fits, or if the tailor will need fix it" their mother said.

"Of course" he took of his jacket.

"Are we done then, Mother?" Darling asked.

"What? Oh, yes Darling, thank you, you can change now. I will go call the tailor" she disappeared behind the door.

"Great, I will catch up with you in a minute Cerise" she said.

"Actually, I could use a glass of water" she said, her shoulders shrunk.

"By all means, go down the hall, a right and two lefts"

"Thanks" she waved.

Daring smiled fondly while watching her go.

"You look well, brother" Darling mentioned slyly

"I always look well" he said fixing his hair in front of the mirror.

"Not what I meant" she took off the shoes.

"Then, what did you meant?" he asked sternly putting the black coat on.

"She...can do you some good"

"What are you implying?"

"Apple-"

"Not now" he cut.

"Did she made you laugh? Did you had anything in common besides your destiny?" she asked softly "You two never dated, it was just what your story told you to do, your role to play, but did you even loved her?"

"Don't go there" he scowl.

"What I am trying to say is...you look happy, Daring. You haven't looked like it in months"

"I was happy, sister, when I had a future, a damsel, before you-"

"Come on! We all know you dated half the girls in school! I know about Lizzie, Kitty told me you played with the Queen of Heart's heart, I know you went out with Duchess, that you flirt with-"

"Stop!" he snapped, his tone rising, his perfect features frowned in anger.

Darling was taken aback, he had never yelled at her before "Very well, I will stop, only if so do you" she turned her back to go change "Cerise is my friend, if you are only playing with her as well, then I won't doubt picking my sword against yours brother" she warned.

And so Daring was left with a feeling inside his gut, something distasteful, an anger he could not control, like a beast.
