Chapter 3

I let my slender fingers glide on my long dark hair as I stared at my own reflection on the mirror. I am no denying very blessed with a beautiful look. I always thought everyone is unique and I also think that this beauty given to me is rare but...why did they mistook me as their Princess Azalea Andie Crimson?

Do we look alike? Do we have the same pouting lips and cute brows? I don’t know any of it. I just woke up with everyone calling me Princess Azalea. Although I have Azalea on my name, I preferred to be call on my first name which is Leandra.

Sighing, I stood up, fixing the robe sliding on my shoulder while crossing my arms as I walk towards the big California King size bed. There scattered many beautiful and elegant dresses. I am amaze by it but I grimaced as I remember one thing.

“Ugh! Dresses again?” I asked as I picked a white spaghetti silk dress. I frowned and looked at the other dresses. “Seriously?

I suddenly misses my clothes on my secret closet. As I really love riding horses or even going for a long trails and adventures, I always wear pants, spaghetti top and a flannel partnered with boots, the typical farm girl attire but that really is my thing! However, this mother of mine, commanded all the maids to throw all of that! If I didn’t warn them they would surely throw or even burn it.

I slid myself on the dress as I eyed my whole body on the big mirror. I hissed as I remember that Rozimo guy looking at me with rough and ruthless eyes. His moves were vigor and really, really distracting! Too wild for my liking. Now I have a hunch that this Princess ran away because she doesn’t want to marry the vampire. And for Pete’s sake he is very rude!

My thoughts got interrupted when I heard a knock on the door and it swing open, revealing a petite pale girl bowing to me with more paper bags on her hand. My forehead creased and slowly I went to her, eyes inspecting all the paper bags.

My mouth slightly parted when I noticed the brand names of the bags! It was those brands in the mortal world, the most expensive and exclusive brands to be exact!

“What are those for?” I asked and get one of the bags to her. She jerked and bowed again as I checked what is inside.

“Prince Rozimo Hades ordered his right hand to shop all of these for you, Princess.” she replied and I can’t help but get irritated!

Did he know how much he just spent with all these? If he is thinking he can soften my heart or he can bribe me with these clothes then no!

“What’s your name?” I spat, still gazing at the elegant dress inside the bag.

“L-Linda, Princess Azalea.” she stammered. I looked at her and lend him the bag I get from her before turning my back.

“Well, Linda. Tell your Prince I won’t accept his gifts or whatever if he is just bribing me just so we could get married!” I shouted full of irritation.

“Y-Yes, Princess.” then I felt her close the door. I shut my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. This is really frustrating! I did escape my engagement party only to be here to live in someone’s name and enter another pragmatic marriage! The most frustrating thing is that, those two supposed fiance of mine has the same attitude! They are both rude only that I find Kent really creepy. Frustrated, I let my body lay on the soft and big bed before I drift into nothingness.

I didn’t know how long I slept I just get awoken when I felt my head throbbing. Slowly, I faltered my eyes open and blankly looked at the unfamiliar high ceiling with a red and gold theme. It took me a whole minute before realizing that I am not on our house.

I wonder if my parents are searching for me? Did they stop the arranged marriage because I am missing or they realized that I don’t really want to be tied so they broke it? I suddenly want to know the answers on my questions but the thought that I don’t even know where the hell I am and why the heck I am here made me sad. Getting up, I fixed my hair and licked my lips. Do vampires apply make up?

I shook my head and compose myself before slowly turning the knob of the door. The creaks of it made it sounds like those in a haunted movies. I inhaled sharply and make a small light steps out.

The idea of I am surrounded by many vampires itself made my body tremble in much fear. But knowing that they are more scared of me and the title they are calling me gives me courage. Surely that Azalea Andie Crimson’s name shouts power or if not they wouldn’t treat me like this.

I should also find what happened to her, right?

“Princess...” I jumped out and angrily looked at the audacious vampire. There stood Linda with her calm face she bowed a bit when our eyes met and I read fear in it.

“What?” I snorted, crossing my arms as I secretly admired the black, red, gold and wood interior of the long hallway. My now, close door has some intricate carving in it! Even the red carpet looks majestic with the wooden floor beneath it. Some small yellow lights designed to give way to someone who will walk on the long path.

“The prince is waiting for you on the dining hall,”

I furrowed my brows. I almost forgot about that vampire, damn! “And?

“Princess, you haven’t eaten your lunch yet and it’s already time for dinner,” my eyes widened and I looked at her immediately.

“What? Dinner?” my heart thumped crazily as I stop myself from running away. It is dinner, meaning the sun has already set and the night has started, in my memory, if i am not mistaken, vampires hunts at night! Are they going to suck my blood?
