The Forgotten Princess

ke of alliance between us. ” The king said.
”I was just surprised that you have come without any notice. ”

”It was my fault in not informing you of my arrival, I deeply apologize. ” Prince Gladiolus said.
”It is just that I am always outside our palace on missions, so I haven’t had the time to go back to send a formal letter here.
And because I was near Alvannian borders, I just had the urged to come by and visit. ”

”I see. ” The king cannot retort with the reasoning of this prince.

”I am also twenty years old now. ” The prince continued.
”I am of marrying age.
I would like to take my bride to our country and marry her as soon as possible. ”

”You are going to take her back now?! ” The king was surprised.
This was going a bit faster than expected.

”Well, not today. ” Prince Gladiolus replied.
”I will be staying here for a while, I guess.
Your capital is rather festive these coming days.
I also want to stay and relax, enjoy the festivities.
I am planning to see the grand parade of the crown prince of Grandcrest. ”

”I-I see. ” The king sighed in relief.
At least he still has a few days to find a solution for this dilemma.
”Then I will order my attendants to prepare living qaurters for you here in the palace, while you are staying here in the capital. ”

”Thank you, your majesty. ” Prince Gladiolus nodded resepctfully again.

King Edward had a good impression with this crown prince of Jennova.
At least he gives him respect, unlike that brat Regaleon.

”I hope you enjoy your stay here, prince Gladiolus. ” King Edward said.

”I will be sure to enjoy my stay, King Edward. ” Prince Gladiolus smiled.

***

(Alicia’s POV)

After my breakfast I decided to take a stroll at the royal garden.
Regaleon was busy again, preparing for the parade that will be held a few days from now.

For the eveing party, I was the one who was busy organizing.
For the parade, it was Regaleon’s responsibility.
Therefore, I have some leisure time to relax.

”Princess, I heard that the crown prince of Jennova arrived a while ago for a surprise visit. ” Tricia who was walking behind me said.
”The palace maids that saw him said he was the most handsome man they have ever seen.
They said he looks like an angel, sent from the heavens above. ”

I giggled.
”An angel, really? ” I said sarcastically.
”Is that why you asked me if I want to walk here at the royal garden, near my father’s office? ”

Tricia shyly blushed.
She was caught red handed.
”I-I thought maybe you would like to also see what he looks like. ”

”Is it me that wants to see or you? ” I turned around to look at Tricia to tease her more.

”I-It’s not like that princess. ” Tricia was shaking her hands in denial.
”Well I just tought… ” Then she got blank all of a sudden.

Tricia’s eyes went past behind me.
She had a dreamy stare in front of me.
That was when I felt a presence behind me.
I turned around to see who it was.

When I turned around I saw a young man, dressed finely in white and gold.
His hair was flowing with the wind, the rays of the sun reflected on his silver strands.
His eyes were shining silver orbs.
I was stunned speechless, standing before this young man.

”Good morning. ” The young man beam with a smile.
”You must be third princess Alicia. ”

I snap back from my daze.
”Ah yes, I am Alicia Roselyn Von Heist. ” I gave a cursty.
”May I know who the young gentleman is? ”

”I am sorry for not introducing myself first. ” The young man said.
”I am Gladiolus Ascoff Sinclair, crown prince of Jennova. ”

‘So he is the crown prince of Jennova.’ I thought.
‘But those features, could it be that he…’

”It is a pleasure to meet you princess Alicia, in person. ” Prince Gladiolus said.
”The rumors were true, that your beauty is exceptional.
Second to none. ”

Prince Gladiolus bowed down in front of me.
He took my right hand and kissed it’s back.
I was stunned with his sudden gesture.
