Chapter 29: plans for the night

As silence continued to reign between the two, princess Lilith looked at her palms. Those very same hands that did something that she thought that she would never do.

"Are you planning to watch him throughout the night?" Richard's question brought her back to the present to which she slowly turned to look at him.

"I.. I will hide him somewhere." With that, princess Lilith headed back to where the ice sculpture figure of prince Wilson was and she was about to drag him away but Richard stopped her.

"Someone is coming. I will take care of him." As usual, his movements were unusually quick and not long after he had disappeared with prince Wilson, her maid walked into the room. "Milady.., milady."

"What is it Mandy?" She asked with an exerparated sigh and the smile on the maid's face lowered. She had noticed that the princess had been acting indifferent towards her and no matter how much she tried to push those thoughts aside, it felt unsettling for her.
