Chapter 2 : 10 Years Later
The sound of three bells ringing made Isabella look up from her book with a start. She sighed, closed her book and went into the phòng bếp, nhà bếp to make breakfast for her stepmother Miranda, and her stepsisters Công chúa Anastasia and Drizella, as Ilana went upstairs to get the laundry. The sisters had divided their chores, with Isabella doing all the cooking and gardening, and Ilana doing all the cleaning and the laundry, with their stepsisters obviously doing nothing. As a now 14-year-old Bella was making breakfast, she thought of her life after her mother died.
A few years after Tabitha passed away, her father remarried, this time to Miranda, the daughter of a Viscount, who already had 2 daughters from her trước đó marriage, before she got divorced. The moment their father introduced her and her sister to Miranda, the two were immediately showered with gifts and praise. She and Ilana were happy for their father, thinking that she was a sweet woman.
"I bet the mice in the garden are sweeter than her," Ilana would occasionally grumble, "What does she think of herself, bossing our papa around like that, and sending him for so many work trips?"
Isabella wholeheartedly agreed with her, as the mice in the garden were definitely friendlier than them. Indeed, as soon as their father left for his first work-related trip, Miranda and co. had shown their true colors. From making the twins do all the chores, to locking them in the basement for unnecessary punishments, the danh sách was endless. The girls weren't even allowed to have breakfast without completing their mornings chores, for heaven's sake!
It had become a habit in the house, every once a month, Miranda and her daughters would start whining about something hoặc the other, and throw hints at him that he should go on another trip to get whatever it was they wanted. Eventually, he would give in and leave. And even though Isabella and Ilana never asked for anything, everytime he came back, he would bring the most amazing gifts, which made her step family furious.
"Well, everytime he used to come back," thought Isabella bitterly, as she dished out the food. When the girls were 13, they received the tragic news from their father's friend, who was on a trip with him: their father had passed away due to exhaustion.
The bells rung once again, signaling that her 'family' wanted their breakfast. Just as she gathered the trays, the bells rung yet again. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" she muttered, knowing full well that if she đã đưa ý kiến it too loudly, she would be deemed rude and locked in the basement. She hurriedly — hoặc as hurriedly as possible with three trays of thực phẩm — climbed up the stairs, and after hearing a few snide remarks like "Your 15 giây late!" and "Why didn't bạn give me breakfast first?" and a cold glare from Miranda, she came back down and went into the garden.
Suddenly, she heard a small "Meow!" coming from the grass, and bent down to see Midnight, her and Lana's pet kitten (a gift from their father from his last trip), play with the weeds.
"Bella, have bạn seen Midnight somewhere? I've been looking all over for her!" Ilana's voice floated through the phòng bếp, nhà bếp to the garden.
"She's here, Lana," she yelled back.
"Exactly where is here?"
"In the garden!"
"Thanks sis," đã đưa ý kiến Ilana, slightly panting.
" Your welcome, Lil' sis," replied Isabella, knowing Ilana would get upset when called 'Lil sis'. And she was right.
"Hey, don't call me little just because I'm 5 phút younger than you!"
"Sure, Lil' sis," she đã đưa ý kiến sarcastically.
"Isabella," Ilana said, whining slightly.
"Ilana," Bella retorted, copying Lana's tone.
"Now, since bạn are still here, why don't bạn do the weeding for me?"
"What!? No way! I hate weeding, I'd rather dust every book in the library!"
"Sure bạn would," đã đưa ý kiến Isabella, sarcasm evident in her voice.
"Bella, why do bạn have to be so sassy and sarcastic?"
"Lana, why do you have to be so whiny?" she teased playfully.
"Come on, let's hurry up and have breakfast, Lalaina and Natalie wanted to see us later." đã đưa ý kiến Ilana.
Lalaina and Natalie were the girls' best friends, from the age of 6, when Isabella, Ilana and Lalaina went to dance school for the first time, where they met Natalie, whose whole family were musicians who played for the school. The quadruplet, with their differences and similarities, instantly clicked, and had been best Những người bạn since. Both Natalie and Lalaina also worked as maids in the Royal Castle. Natalie đã đưa ý kiến that the lâu đài was quiet, so she could practic her âm nhạc nicely. Lalaina đã đưa ý kiến there was plenty of open space, so it was for her to practice her dances.
An giờ later, with the weeding and breakfast complete, the girls quickly changed and left to meet their friends.

15-year-old Prince Randolph had just finished playing Beethoven's 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata. He always played that specific piece whenever he was angry hoặc frustrated. He had learnt how to play đàn piano when he was 7, and had been playing since. This time however, the piece calmed him down only a little, and he was still slightly angry at his parents. He wondered exactly what made his parents do what they did a few days ago, and he found out about it today, in the castle's library.
Flashback :
Randolph knocked on the thư viện door before entering to see his parents in deep discussion.
"Ah, Randolph, come on in, your mother and I have been waiting for you," đã đưa ý kiến his father, Peter, looking a little nervous.
"What did bạn want to speak to me about, mother, father?" he asked, an uneasy feeling settling at the bottom of his stomach.
"Err, well, bạn see…" his father trailed off, unsure how to proceed, "Lucinda, could bạn perhaps–"
"Yes, yes I'll tell it to him. bạn are, after all, absolutely horrible when it comes to explaining things seriously to your son," she said, and then turned to Randolph, "Do bạn remember Princess Athena, from the Kingdom of–"
"Do bạn seriously think he's actually going to bother remembering the name of her kingdom? When has he ever done that before?" his father intergected. Randolph suppressed a grin at the look on his mother's face.
"Well, bạn do have a point, but he has to remember the name of this one. It's necessary!" đã đưa ý kiến his mother. This perked his interest, his parents had never made him memorize the names of kingdoms, of all things, he just slowly picked them up over time, it was never 'necessary' as his mother put it.
He was snapped out of his thoughts bởi his mother speaking to him again, "Like I was saying, do bạn remember Princess Athena from the Kingdom of Katendelle, whom bạn met when bạn were 10?"
"Yes, what about her?" he asked, curious as to where this was going.
"Her parents, and your father and I have arranged a marriage between the two of you, so that our Kingdom of Avolania and their kingdom could become allies," đã đưa ý kiến Lucinda.
It took Randolph a few moments to actually be able to process the information. "WHAT!? But I'm only 15!" he nearly shouted.
"Of course, bạn will only get married once your 18, so this is basically a long engagement," his mother said, attempting to placate him.
"So you're telling me that bạn just went ahead and decided that I will be marrying her, without even telling me!" his temper was building up, which rarely happened.
"We thought you'd be fine with it, considering bạn seemed to like Athena as a child," his father quickly said, "And speak to your mother properly, I won't tolerate such behavior!"
"It's just that I don't want an arranged marriage!"
"It'll be fine, look at your mother and I!"
"It's not that I'm against arranged marriages, I know bạn and mother tình yêu each other very much, it's just that I'm only 15 and… and I wanted thêm time to find love," đã đưa ý kiến Randolph, as calmly as he could, so as not to anger his father further.
"We understand that, darling, but who knows, maybe Athena is the person for you," Lucinda said, taking over again.
"But…"
"No buts, please, just think about it, Randolph," she đã đưa ý kiến with finality.
"Yes, mother, father," he đã đưa ý kiến in a resigned tone.
End of Flashback
Now, when he did think about it, after calming down, maybe his parents had a point. Besides, it wasn't like he didn't like Athena. She was a wonderful girl, liked painting, music, đọc and was everything a princess should be. But he didn't want a prim and proper princess like Athena. He wanted someone who had their own personality, princesses mostly decided to follow protocol, which didn't leave time to develop a personality and get to know oneself. Sighing, he stepped out of the âm nhạc room. Perhaps a walk, hoặc a talk with his good friend Dylan, would help him clear his mind.
