The Princess of Ice Kingdom

Chapter 18

As they know that they aren't going to get an answer from him, they also shrugged off the matter.

After some moment of silence, Arthur thought to break it and said "hey brothers, have you all decided your wears for the ball". Edward reply "well I haven't decided anything yet" then Chris said "me neither"

Albert again didn't lift his eyes off his book but said "You guys already have so 'MANY' clothes to wear, why are you guys being picky?" while empathizing 'many'

This time Edward said "ah really, brother Albert. Why won't we be picky after all it's our last Grand Ball, we're going back to our kingdoms next month after results!" the other two nodded in agreement.

Edward continued "let's go to town to buy our outfits. And...brother Albert, you have to look even more special after all your going to receive your title of Versatile student on Grand Ball" he said the last sentence in his teasing tone.

Chris said with a sad expression "Brother Edward you know what.... I'm worried"

Edward and Arthur said in unison "huh?" with a puzzled expression.

Chris teasingly said while giggling "I mean I'm worried about those princesses whose going to faint just by looking at our brother Albert".

Edward and Arthur look at each other than at Albert then all three brothers burst into laughter. While Albert continues to ignore them.

Arthur said "oh! that reminds me, the princess of Arundel is also coming to the Grand ball"

Edward said excitedly "you mean that princess who is rumored to be as beautiful as a goddess "

Chris also join in the conversation and said excitedly "oh oh, I know about it too. You know brothers, the King of Arundel has also arranged tutors from our Academy for her, and its been time she started her studies. And I also heard that she learns sword fighting from our master"

After listening silently to their conversation Albert lifted his head from the book and said "she does learn sword fighting from our master and she's even better in it than you three"

Arthur, Edward, and Chris said in unison again "what!!!?". Albert said smirking "yes she is and master said it himself, and let me make myself clear I didn't ask about it as you guys know. That master of ours loves to brag about his students".

On this, all three of them nodded in agreement.

Then Arthur narrowed his eyes towards Albert and said "so... you are listening to our conversation! Oh, wait! is it because we're talking about the princess of Arundel". Arthur seems to remember something suddenly and continued "wait!!! Isn't the princess of Arundel your's fiance from birth"

The other two turns their head towards Albert and stare at him with wide eyes and open mouth.

Edward comes back to his sense and also wake Chris up by saying "why did I never know about this?!"

At this Arthur said "even he didn't tell me, I listen to it from my father when he's talking to our dear Uncle Albon when I visited home for holidays. King of Siberia come for some work to our Kingdom that day and father made him stay for a night cause it was late to return."

Seeing at his brother like friends staring at him so intensely, he heaved a sigh and said "well..... she is my fiance, but I have never met her before"
