The Real Villainess

Chapter 26 : Later

IT HAS been a busy week for Freya, all for their upcoming wedding.

Meanwhile on the Grand Duke's POV, he's on his way to meet someone. Someone very important and high class.

The Empress.

"Vik, it's been awhile." The Empress said as she smiled intimidatingly to Vik as Vik bowed and kissed the back of her hand before taking a seat across her in a spacious balcony in the Palace.

They were both served tea. "I shall address first the reason why I couldn't report anything to you, your majesty."

"Go on." She said as she sips her tea.

"Aurelia, is out of reach." He paused. "I think his majesty has to do with that issue, second I couldn't make a move to the Lady of Yeovil as of now." He stated.

The Empress nodded in response. "It's not a shock that he'll protect his mere mistress, I had for seen this event."

"What should we do?"

She took a deep breath. "I'm prepared as always, he may hide her well but, he can't hide her too well."

The Empress, Elaine knew well about the Emperor's mistress. It was an arrange marriage between them, it was merely a one-sided love.

When she thought that he finally fell inlove too, it was cut short after seeing him with a young lady kissing. Aurelia. .

"Hmm, about the Lady of Yeovil. . Do pursue her still, the wedding shall happen but I need you to still reach for her, understood?" She stated looking rather tensed.

Vik nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty."

I have never been this busy before, I guess weddings will always be a hassle. Freya thought after picking out and getting her body measurements for the gown.

"I will do my best, your highness. I'll be taking my leave." The tailor before bowing and leaving the room.

Freya laid on the couch as she was exhausted by today's ravaging schedule. Before picking out the dress she has to pick out the first course meal as well as the desserts, flowers were next and the design of the church.

Just as she was resting, Tia suddenly opened the door which startled her and made her get up and sit straight.

"Forgive me milady but the Crown Prince and the dance tutor has been waiting for you in the Ball room." Tia said as she stayed by the door.

She led out a sigh before following Tia to the Ball room.

After she got in, she was greeted by the dance tutor along with Zavier. "Greetings, Princess. Shall we start?" The tutor said.

Freya took a glance at Zavier before nodding. It was rather an awkward situation, aside from her not being used to dancing a lot it was also because of Zavier's presence.

She noticed how his aura changed. It wasn't the clingy and annoying one anymore, he was more considerate.

It kind of appeared suspicious to Freya, though as of now she's left with nothing but go with the flow of events.

As they were dancing in the fancy ballroom, Freya suddenly stepped into Zavier's foot.

"Oh No I'm so sorry!" Freya exclaimed being apologetic. Zavier only gave her a slight smile.

"It's alright, mistakes happen all the time." He said assuring that it was really okay, but deep inside his foot was aching.

The dance tutor suddenly went up to them. "I have a trick that I usually tell the nobles about to avoid events like this. Hmm. . May Your Highness's look into each others eyes."

Both of them looked at the Dance tutor as if it was something rather unnecessary.

The dance tutor smiled at them. "It does work without a doubt your highness'."

With no other choice, they looked at each others eyes well enough. It was kind of awkward really but of course they've got to follow.

"Now please dance gracefully your highness'" The music followed after he said that.

They danced, looking still into each other's eyes. Freya noticed something she doubt she had noticed before, it was Zavier's rather astonishing sapphire blue eyes.

"Is my eyes, pretty?" Zavier suddenly asked midway of them dancing, this made Freya shy and looked away for a second.

She nods. "Yes, very much." She said before once again looking into his eyes.

Zavier couldn't help but smile. "Your's are beautiful." He uttered.

Freya's trying really hard not to blush at this point, compliments like this do make her feel good about herself yet she couldn't help but blush.

"T-thank you though." I hate being flattered like this!

Then the tutor started to clap for them, cue that they were done. They both barely noticed that the dance was finally over.

"I am really in awe of both your highness' dancing, great chemistry!" He blabbered.

"Are we done for today?" Freya asks then the tutor nods.

"Yes, Princess. Shall I come again tomorrow, your highness?" He replies and asks Zavier.

"Maybe the in another day within this week, I'll have you contacted by then."

The Tutor bowed in respect. "Then I will be taking my leave, Your Highness'"

After the tutor left, it was just the two of them left in the room. Again, it was kind of awkward for Freya.

"Will you be busy later this afternoon, Freya?" The Prince suddenly asks.

Freya looks at him, she thought of it. I don't think I'll be doing anything after this. . Now that I'm marrying him it would be best if I get into his good side. . . Just until Aurelia comes.

"Not really, your highness."

"Then would it be fine to have tea with me this afternoon?"

She nods. "Yes it's fine, Your Highness."

Zavier then led out a sigh. "Call me by my name instead, we're getting married after all." He said as he scratches the back of his head.

Freya blinked a couple times. "Alright. . Zavier."

Boo, that was so weird. .

He smiled at Freya before checking the time. "Oh, I should do some other work beforehand."

Freya then nodded and waved at him as he was about to walk out of the room then he stops midway.

"See you later Freya." He says before closing the door.
