I was left speechless. Until I wasn't. "What's in it for me?"
"Besides my silence and getting to go on a dance with the hottest bachelor in the kingdom? I suppose I could make things much much easier on you and your sister. Just say the word and I can get you everything you've ever wanted."
"Listen, I know you must be crazy rich but I doubt you could ever meet Lariste's expectations. She constantly wants more then any of us can give."
He lets out an almost inconceivable chuckle. The kind that says I know something you don't. And then his grin widened father then I thought possible.
"Oh believe me... Arestine was it? I can give you everything you could ever need or want. That goes for your sister as well. And before you start asking questions I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me, I know," he pauses for a moment before continuing, "I am Prince Dorian Vainest of Zalariastie, at your service." He grins at me sharply before taking a highly exagerated bow.
Once again he has left me speechless. I fear my jaw may have dropped so low it has been dislocated. "What kind of game are you playing at? Do you really think-" Then I pause in my tracks as he flings a newspaper at me.
The caption reads "Prince Dorian stands ready to inherit his mothers thrown!" And to my utter shock and dismay, right next to the caption shows a large photo of our next ruler. A black and white, high definition photo of him. The man standing in front of me. Prince Dorian Vainest of Zalariastie. The man I just insulted, stole from, and called a liar.
My face must of visibly drooped because he seemed more amused by my reaction then any reaction prior. I feel my cheeks flush with embarresment as I attempt an awkward bow. "P-Prince Dorian! I didn't know, I swear!"
This time he bursts out into laughter. "Ah I always love their reactions when I tell them who I am, but this one is better then most! You had absolutely no clue! That's hilarious!"
"Yes, haha, very funny." I say through gritted teeth.
