CHAPTER 1 WHAT HAPPENED

'What happened? ' Sienna's eyes were a calm blue as they bore anxiously into her friend's grim ones.

'Disaster,' mumbled Sylvia, wiping the sweat off her creased forehead. 'A total, irreplaceable, unheard-of disaster. No, wait. it's not unheard of... you must have heard about being sold off to a rich family at the cost of one's dreams. '

'Okay...'

'No, wait. I want to jump off a building and die, can I? '

Sienna raised a perfectly carved eyebrow at her friend's dramatics but decided to stay silent.

'So, what happened was I got chosen for marriage into the Silver family and that happened without my consent,' enunciated Sylvia distressedly.

'And what now? ' asked Sienna, worrying inwardly what that could mean for their precious friendship, 'Are you gonna marry? Just like that?'

Sylvia scoffed, 'That old woman you like to call my mother, do ya think she's all jolly toey me get away from this marriage? Like, is she gonna come and say to me that dear, you should bunk this marriage? Huh. '

Sienna sighed, shaking her head in sorrow, 'This... isn't right but it can't be helped... '

Sylvia pushed her long, caramel strands of hair back in frustration and both the friends fell into a hopeless silence.

Question was, what did it mean for their friendship? If Sylvia were to marry into another family, she'd never be able to be free enough to think about anything else but her new home and as much as Sienna despised the thought, she also understood that she had no control over it.

Sylvia, like all the other Radical Aristocrats in the country of Solicit were like poems for chess. They had no life, only ambition: the ambition to transform Solicit from a country of Aristocracy Rules to a country of Radicalism Rules. Sylvia and Sienna were the daughters of two of the biggest Radical Aristrocrats of all times: the Runes family and the Bukowski family.

Perhaps fate had other plans for Sylvia and perhaps, that had resulted in her revolting against aristocracy from an early age, just like her father which had led to her father treasuring her.

But then, he'd died in a car accident. Sylvia snorted at the thought : bloody car accident. Why was it that even the greatest of people died in the most ordinary of ways?

'Know what? ' quipped Sienna, frustrated out of her mind, 'This prince, whoever he is, he sounds stupid. Kill him on the night of the wedding for me, will you? '

''Course, ' replied Sylvia, 'and then we can happily live ever after... in a prison. '

Both the best friends let out a soul-renching sigh. What was wrong with their destinies?

'Fine then,' said Sienna, 'just don't fall for him. '

Sylvia laughed so loud at this that Sienna was startled and fell out of her chair. The whole coffee shop went pin-drop silent as all the people eyed the girls amusedly.

'Dang it! '

'Oops. '
