The next day...
Brina and Alia t for lunch in Brina’s suite.
Along with them is Charlotte and Hailey. However, Alia didn’t bring her cousin together.
As her cousin had to take a short trip back to their estate as Sir Francis asked her to co.
"Honestly, I didn’t expect such an outstanding performance from you, Lady Brina." Alia said to Brina as they sat down for lunch.
"Not that I am belittling you or marginalizing you. It is just that, these ladies here have been doing all of that stuff from their childhood. Our life goals and career are worlds apart from them. While they were getting grood to beco a Queen, we were chasing our other passion." Alia said.
"In fact, I think you are highly capable of becoming a Queen. Though you haven’t got grood like them, you still managed to outrun their experience and forte. I got carried away by your skill." she chuckled.
"Alia, Brina have just won one event. How were you able to co to a conclusion this soon?" Charlotte asked.
"Char, rember that I can read a person’s personality and inner character. I studied it for years, so yes. I am sure Brina is a perfect rival for Olivia and Katherine." Alia said.
"So, you aren’t raised like Olivia, Katherine, Rebecca, Kiara and Phoebe?" Brina asked.
Alia smiled. "No. I am more like Prince Edward. We both were never interested in this boring, heavy life. It feels like we are chained and restricted to live our life." Alia answered.
She is close to Louis. Though she is the adopted daughter of his Uncle Francis, Louis and Alia are like cousins.
"We have a few things in common. Just like how Prince Edward had no option but to take his responsibilities, I got forced to attend this competition actually." Alia confessed.
"Sir Francis, is he forcing you to compete for Edward’s hand?" Charlotte asked, slightly surprised.
Sir Francis knows that Louis has a girlfriend. In fact he said that he will support their love.
Alia chuckled and shook her head. "No. Not my father. It’s my house mbers and my greedy uncles. Dad just wants to attend and then go back to Africa to continue my research. I ca here just to keep my house stable and prevent any internal rifts." she truthfully answered.
anwhile, Charlotte looked at Brina and slightly nodded her head.
They just wanted to confirm that Alia would not beco an obstacle in their plan. They had to make sure that she wasn’t interested in becoming Louis’s Queen.
"I am sorry to hear that. I hope you get to chase your dream without any hurdles and pressures like these." Brina said.
Alia smiled. "That research is my lifeti dream. I just hope that I can finish it with flying colors and then chase my love." she giggled.
"Love for Daniel?" Brina asked, making Alia almost choke on her food.
Charlotte, who was sitting nearby, patted her back.
Even she is slightly shocked by Brina’s sudden question.
However she understood that Brina decided to trust Alia.
They have been observing Alia since the day they arrived and Louis has also given a green flag to trust her.
Now, as they are trying to form an alliance, they have to be truthful to each other.
At one or other point, Alia will find out about her relationship with Louis. It’s better if Brina herself reveals it to Alia and eliminates the scope of misunderstandings.
"Ahh.. ho.. how do you know?" Alia asked, gulping her saliva.
No one knows about it except for Louis.
Could it be that Louis told Charlotte and Charlotte told Brina?
But she knows Charlotte.
She wouldn’t utter a thing about what Louis shared with her.. until or unless the other party is trustworthy and loyal to Louis.
anwhile, Charlotte understood what’s going on in this scholar’s mind. She is sure that Alia would have figured out the half truth by now.
"Alia, why do you think I brought Brina here? As soone who is close to both of and Edward, do you really believe that we fought with each other? Seriously?" Charlotte questioned Alia.
"I had my own suspicion. But it’s not totally impossible for you not to fight."
"Given the seriousness of the situation, I thought sothing big would have happened between you and Edward and that would have caused the fight." Alia told, looking at both Charlotte and Brina.
"Well, my friend, I have to tell you that you are wrong." Charlotte chuckled.
"I and Edward didn’t fight and the seriousness of the issue is much bigger and intense than what you think." Charlotte told Alia.
"Brina is not just a friend to , Alia. She is Edward’s girlfriend. The only woman he loves." Charlotte dropped the bomb.
It’s not very usual for Princes to have girlfriends. Though they might have or had.. they are just rely flings.
At the end of the day, they have to marry a lady from Noble Families.
Seems like it’s Ethan and Edward who would change the history of the Prince’s rule.
anwhile, Alia blinked her eyes.
She is shocked!
But not to the extent of losing her composed self.
Though she didn’t predict that this might happen, Alia was having her own suspicions that Brina is not any simple woman and she has so certain reason in coming here.
"Ahh.. now I understand. But, why did Edward arrange such a high security? Masquerade the and no paparazzi.." Alia asked, more like uttering to herself.
"I have so security problems. So, he was worried." Brina told her, however a voice interjected their conversation.
"I am not just worried. I am scared for you as well." Louis said, coming from her bedroom all in sudden.
He ca through the secret chambers which open in the closet of her bedroom.
This ti, Alia was shocked!!
Ho.. how?
How did Louis just appear?
anwhile, Louis approached Brina and kissed her lips, from behind her chair.
It was just too intimate! How they kissed, how his head leaned down, engulfing her lips to his..
However, Alia blushed. But not because of their kiss but because of her crush, Daniel who just followed Louis into the room.
Ahh.. he is looking so hot!
