"Well, King Aaron was a very close friend of my father's. Our kingdoms have been allied for nearly a century." Nicholas stopped to let go of Cassandra, picking a white lily from the rows. "And now Princess Ophelia is to take the throne. My father wants us all to honor Aaron's wish for his daughter, for her to be wed. And so we must." He held the lily in front of her before tucking it behind her ear into her hair. "You know I'm to compete for her hand. But she will be a Queen soon and then we must honor her desires. And she will honor ours, I know it."

Classandra blushed at his sweet action the large and beautiful white Lily suits her well matching her blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes she looked at him Softly " I have heard rumours that you have a feelings for her if that is true I'll help you when her heart" she said I'm glad to the side thinking of her and requited love you didn't want him to be hurt that she was hurt the second she found out Cameron was engaged and possibly in love with another. Cassandra knew that Princess Ophelia was beautiful even in her Kingdom she had gossip that how beautiful princess was and Cassandra being a lonely concubine can never match "you are like a brother to me I want to help you Nicholas" she said and kissed his cheek in thanks for the lily flower that now sat in her hair

With a smile, Nicholas set down the book and lifted Cassandra, twirling her, his green eyes sparkling. "Would you?" He laughed. "I've met her. I am quite fond." He held her at an arm's length, searching her eyes. "She'll be at the ball, in four days. I know this ball is meant for the higher classes, but I want you to come too. As a guest of mine."
