Ronan woke up quickly and ran to see if the withered flower had blossomed. He threw open the doors to the gallery and ran in. He ran over to the flower, "It has blossomed! She is the lost princess!" He cries happy tears as his sister has finally returned.
Auryn was sitting on her sofa in front of her bed. She had heard Ronan crying.' Is everything okay out there?' She thought as she got up and walked to where the crying was coming from. She opened the door and walked into the gallery.'' Is everything okay here?" She said, concerned.
He wiped his tears as he ran over to Auryn and hugged her as tight as he could."It has blossomed!" He said while hugging her. "I love you so much! Please don't leave me again!" He says, crying.
She hugs him too."I don't know how I'm royalty, but I must protect you from harm."
Clarissa woke up and went to the gallery and saw them hugging."My darling, you have come back to us!" She ran over and hugged Auryn as tight as she could.
"We will have to tell Alex that you returned! He's going to be so happy you have come back. I'll go tell the guards." She said as she stopped hugging and went to tell the guards.
She looked at Ronan with a confused face, "Who is Alex?" she asked while baffled.
"...Alex is your fiance... Did you forget about him..?" He said, concerned
"What!?! I have a fiance!?!? No, you're lying. I don't." She has a shocked face at what he said.
"... He's going to be upset… after what happened."
"I'm going to go get changed into different clothes…." She leaves the room. She is confused and is trying to figure out who Alex is.
She walked onto her bedroom and closed the door."All of this is way too much…. I learned I'm a princess when I used to work at the inn…. I have a fiance I never knew about… All of this is way too much," She said as she dressed and put her crown on. 'Maybe if I go on a stroll in the garden. It will help clear my mind' She finished changing and left her room, walking towards the garden.
She saw a portrait of her family that wasn't in the gallery on the wall, and she was distracted from looking at it while walking.
A lean man was walking her way, distracted by the canvas. Also, he bumped into her. "Im so sorry, ma'a— ALICE!" The man yelled as he hugged her.
"Who are you, and are you okay???"
"Stop being a silly goose… Did you lose your memory?" He stopped hugging, and his joyful face turned into a concerned look as he stared into her eyes.
"... I don't know if you are in the right mind… I'm going to go now…." She said as she walked past him.
"Alice! Come back!" He says as he runs after her.
He caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me!" She is trying to pull her arm away.
"Alice! Hear me out! Please!" He says as he is holding her arm,
"Get away from me!" She said, angry as she got her arm loose and ran as fast as she could.
He had his arm reaching out for her.
"Alice!" He said as he collapsed to the ground crying.
She arrived at the royal garden and walked around it, trying to clear her mind. ‘What was wrong with that dude….’ She thought to herself while she was walking around.
She came across a tiger lily. “That's such a beautiful flower,” she said while looking at them.
She picked the flower and held it while she walked around. She saw a maze made out of hedges.
“I wonder what this is….” She walked into the labyrinth and looked around. “Oh, great, im lost….” She was looking around for a way out of the maze when she stumbled upon a gazebo in the center and went to it.
In the pavilion stood a tall man who looked like a duke. “What brings you here, princess?’’
He said as he looked at her.
“Im sorry, sir. I just got a little lost… I'll be leaving now….” She turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist, so she turned and faced him. “I'll lead you to a way out.” He said as he let go of her wrist. “I see you found the Tiger Lilys!” Looking at the one in her hand. “Was it okay I picked it!?!” She said worriedly, as she could have done something wrong.
“You sound worried. Don't worry. You did nothing wrong!” He said this as he took the tiger lily and put it in her hair. While her eyes were glimmering, he said, “It suits you. We best be bringing you back before they worry” He took her hand and led her out of the labyrinth.
“Can you go get Alice for me, please?” Clarissa asked a maid. She wanted to speak with Alice about a royal festival that was going on.
“Right away, your highness.” The maid bowed her face and left to find Alice.
“Thank you,” she said as she sat on her study sofa.
The maid went on a search for Alice and couldn't see Alice, so she ran back to Clarissa. “I can't find her..”
“What?!?!” She jumped up from her sofa and ran out to look for her. The maid followed Clarissa. “Did you check the library? And the Gardens?” She asked the maid.
“I checked the Library but not the Gardens yet because I didn't think she would go out there” She is following Clarissa still.
“She's probably back there!” Clarissa ran down the hall to a big window and looked out it.
“She's there... She didn't go missing again..” She let out a sigh of relief. “She’s with the duke?”
“Here we are… Be careful next time! You could have gotten hurt.” He had her hands on her shoulders.
“Thank you so much, sir. What's your name?” They are staring at each other with each other's eyes glimmering. “My name is Ares... What's your name?” He looked at her.
“Alice, where are you!!” Alex ran out of the castle's doors into the garden, yelling her name.
“My name is Al–” Alex saw them and ran over fast. “She doesn't need to tell you her name!” Alice is confused why the strange person who bumped into her was mad at the man.
“Why are you back your crazy!” She yelled at Alex, ran away, and hid behind Duke Ares.
“You're scaring the Princess.!” Ares told Alex. Alice is hiding behind Ares shaking in fear.
“I think you shouldn't be the one talking!” He yelled at Ares.
Alice is trembling in fear. “Guys, stop fighting….” She said while trembling with fear.
“Oh, dear…” Clarissa said as she ran down the steps and out the door to stop the fight about to go on.
She ran out the door to stop them, but the fight had already started.
Alex shoved Aries, and Aries pushed Alex back. “Stop it right now, Alex. You're scaring her!”
He yelled at him.
“Guys, stop this fight right now!” Clarissa yelled as she ran over. “Let's all be Civil here!” Alice ran over to Clarissa with fear in her eyes. “Everybody going to calm down, dear, don't be scared.” She is hugging Alice.
“They are just disagreeing. Nobody is going to get hurt.” She is still hugging Alice. “Why are they fighting? Is cause of me?” She asked Clarissa, wondering why.
“No! It's not because of you, Alice! Don't ever think that. They always hated each other because they used to have feelings for you.” She said while getting out of the hug and putting her hands on Alice’s shoulders.
They stopped fighting when they heard Alice say that. Alex turned to look at her, whereas Ares ran over to Alice.
“Don't ever think you did something wrong you didn't do anything wrong.” Ares and Alice hugged each other. Alex saw them hugging and got mad, and ran away. Clarissa saw Alex running away. “Alex, wait!” He didn't hear her and kept on running.
