??? THE
ROYAL
WEDDING ???
By Debbie
?Episode 12?
HIDDEN IDENTITY?
??Taliyah??
I couldn’t get to see the face of the guy that prevent me from falling.
Although his hands were soft, I felt it was Kyle holding me.
Even though, I have no prove. I could feel my anger building up, the very moment he held. I had to stand up quickly and hide my face.
To prevent him from suspecting, I used my coolest voice to tell him sorry and ran off before he could ask me any question
I ran as fast as I could until I got to the dinning hall.
I know for sure, mom will be so angry with me
I walked slowly into the hall as the guard announced my presence. Everyone turned to look at me.
Did I say look at me??
They were throwing daggers at me.
I couldn’t utter a word.
I walked closer
“I’m so sorry” I cooed
I couldn’t tell them I slept off!
Although they never said anything, I know they are so angry.
And if looks could kill, I will be long below six feet.
As the maids served breakfast, I noticed Kyle was not seated
Definitely, he’s the one I saw going to the garden!!
“The arrogant boy, misses breakfast” I thought
“You’re no different” my subconscious mind said
“We’re different from each other” I thought
“I don’t think so. Who keeps people waiting? Who comes late for breakfast?” It asked
I groaned slightly
“So tell me, what’s the different between a late comer and an absentee?” It asked
I ignored it and pick on my food
I wasn’t at all comfortable sitting here and I can’t even excused myself, considering I was the reason breakfast is late
I can’t even look at their faces
I will keep picking on this food until I have the opportunity to leave!!
??Kyle??
I got to the garden, and found a nice spot to sit. The garden looks really beautiful than it was yesterday night.
“Who’s that girl?” I thought
She looks like the princess. Just that she’s more decent, beautiful and respectful too
Unlike that weird, rude and sassy princess
That girl thinks she’s got the world under her feet!!
Mom couldn’t even get me a better wife!
That…..that….
Ahhh!!!!
That fake thing
G©sh
That girl is just to fake
Everything about her is fake
She can’t even come early for breakfast!!
I hissed angrily
“I wondered what mom see in her to accept to make her my wife” I thought
“Why am I even wasting my time, thinking about that btch!!! That h.ell of a girl?” I thought
I will rather listen to music than spend few more seconds thinking about her

??Taliyah??
I breathe a sigh of relief, the very moment I stepped out of the hall.
I was still very hungry but I just can’t eat that food. Looking at their faces alone made me lost my appetite.
Mom and Everlyn’s look were the worst!!!
I wished the ground would open and swallow me even for a second but it did not
My stomach groaned and I chuckled
I know right now I can’t near the kitchen to ask for food.
So I will just head to the garden and eat some fruits
I got to the garden and saw some ripe berries.
“Perfect timing, princess Taliyah” I told myself amidst chuckles
I know I need a basket, so that when I plug them, i can put them inside.
I walked back to the maids quarter to ask for a basket
“We can’t give it to your my princess” Eva said
I rolled my eyes
“You see, I’m bored. I think plugging some berries will keep me busy” I said
“My princess, I can’t. The Queen will be angry” she said
I smiled
“You don’t have to tell her” I said
“I can’t my princess” she said
She’s kidding right?
I hissed loudly
“My sister helps in taking care of of the garden. Why can’t I?” I asked
She didn’t reply
“I should be able too, right?” I asked
She sigh and handed the basket to me
I walked back to the garden, whistling happily
I walked closer to the berries and bend down to pick them carefully.
I was enjoying what I was doing
“I can sing a song while I plug these” I thought
I stood up and begin to sing
I can be troublesome, sassy and clumsy but when it comes to music.
I act so well and mature!!
??Kyle??
After listening to music for a period of time, I got bored.
Not just bored but really, really bored
I missed my girlfriend so much and decided to face time her.
I was really so engrossed in my chat, with her when I sight soemone plugging fruit.
Her clothes were the same with the girl I met in the morning.
“This is my time” I thought
I said goodbye to my girlfriend and dropped my phone into my back pocket
“It’s now or never” I thought as I stood up
As I walked closer to her, she stood up and begin to sing
I stood rooted to my spot
“Wow” I muttered
The voice was angelic.
I regain myself and walked closer to her
“Hi” I cooed
She stopped singing and turned swiftly but lost balance in the process. I tried holding her but fell in the process.
I landed on the floor and she fell right on my body with our l1ps touching each other
“Ah” I groaned
??Taliyah??
“Hi” someone said
I stopped singing
“Who is that?” I thought as I turned swiftly to see his or her face
I lost balance in the process with all my basket, falling to the ground
I was expecting to fall to the ground but I ended up on someone’s body, with our lips locked up
“Ahh” he groaned
That’s when I realised he might be hurt. I rushed up quickly and helped him stand up.
He wipe up dirt from his shirt
“Are you hurt?” I asked
He raised his head up to look at me
Kyle??
It’s Kyle
“I’m not, are you?” he asked
Wait!
He doesn’t recognise me?
“Hey, are you ok?” He asked bringing me back to reality
“I….i…i’m fine” I stuttered slightly
He nodded
Like seriously he doesn’t recognise me as the princess?
That’s good!!!
I can as well leave here without been insulted by him
I looked down at my basket and realised all the berries were on the floor
“My berries” I whined
He chuckled
Did he just chuckled?
He did, !!!
“I will help you pick them” he said and bend down to pick them
This’s really serious!!
It’s nice though
I bend down to join him, acting all good
After all, I’m a good girl
“What’s your name?” He asked
My name?
I can’t tell him Liyah
Let me think!!!
I will just use my middle name “Naya”
“Naya” I answered
“Hmmmm, nice name” he said
“I’m Kyle” he said
“Who doesn’t know who you are?” I thought
“You’ve got a very nice voice” he said
I rolled my eyes
“Of course I know” I thought
“Thanks” I replied smling
He raised is head to look at me
“And a sweet smile too” he added
Wait
He just complemented me!!!
That’s nice
“Yours ain’t bad too” I said
He smiled
Wow, he really did smile
“Do you have a spare time?. I’m kinda bored” He asked as he dropped the last berry into the basket
At first, I wanted to say no!
After all he’s such an arrogant boy but the part of him asking for my time is the nicest I have seen so far
And he doesn’t even know I’m the princess, which makes it easier and better!!
“Sure” I replied
“We can sit over there” I said and made to carry the basket
But to my surprise, he carried it instead
“So Mr arrogant can be this nice!” I thought
We went and sat down on the hand made stools.
This place has been my favorite whenever I decided to be my real self
I mean the quiet princess who loves nature
“Wow” he cooed
“This is a very nice view” he said
I nodded in agreement
“That’s why it’s my favorite” I answered
He smiled
I poured the berries into a bowl
“Eat” I offered
We ate quietly as we enjoy the view
“Are you a princess here?” He asked breaking the silent
I almost got choked up
“Are you ok?” He asked as I coughed
“I…i am” I stuttered slightly
I wasn’t expecting him to ask me this question right now
“Do I look like the princess?” I asked
He smiled
“Not really. Just that anytime I see you, I see her in you” he said
“You’re just like her softer version” he added
I chuckled
“Princess Taliyah right?” I asked
He nodded
“You don’t like the princess?” I asked
“I did not hate her. I just don’t like those fake spooky btchy face of hers. She’s just too fake for my liking” he said
I clutched my hand
Did he just called me fake? huh?
He turned to face me and I quickly release my hand
“So are you related to the princess?” He asked
I will not tell him yes
“No. I’m the gardener’s daughter” I lied
He nodded
We went on to talk, and I must confessed, he’s nice if he doesn’t act btchy

As I walk back to my room, after we separated, I came up with the perfect plan to make him not like me
All I need to do is maintain my weird looks!!
I chuckled
That’s it
My weird looks will push him away.
If I can do this until he finally goes back to the place he comes from, I will be free!!
From today hence forth, I will be known as the Spooky princess!!
