"Mind you, I am no sister of you!"

Princess Rosemary rolled her eyes while clenching her jaw tightly.

The step brother didn't react, obviously it was not the first time of Princess Rosemary reminding him his place as only a concubine's son. 

"Rosemary, behave!

The King's voice was scary, he defended Prince Harry. 

Glaring at the annoyed Princess who breathed out in rebel, the illegitimate Prince watched her quietly as the king too witnessed the heaviness of her aura. 

"It's okay father!

Princess Harry uttered with his calm speech before granting the seat on his father's desk with formality. 

The sarcastic eyes of Prince was way too good to be true tonight as the Princess understood by then, the illegitimate Princess curved his lips in a fake manner while looking at Princess Rosemary. 

She, who immediately then got the clue that something around the study was not right. Soon the Prince continued crossing his legs and making himself comfortable. 

"Princess Rosemary Jen, the king has made one judgement about your succession over the throne.

Prince Harry uttered formally while his blue eyes hinted something evil indeed, Princess Rosemary looked back at her father only to judge him with her serious eyes. 

While the illegitimate Prince scoffed under his breath, Princess Rosemary was soon caught in a huge surprise with his next choice of words. 

"Father agreed to pass the throne to you, Princess Rosemary!

The Prince attacked her with his next statement like a bullet piercing through the skin. 

What? The king agreed this easily, how? And how the illegitimate prince was talking about it so easily with her? Why isn't he objecting? 

Didn't he wanted the throne? Why would he let her have it? How can he give up so easily? 

Something seemed not well to Princess Rosemary Jen, who soon begged pardon to both the men inside the same study as her. 

Prince Harry nodded seriously. 

"You heard that right, father agreed to pass the throne to you but you have to prove your worth to be the queen!

Prince Harry uttered as the Princess Rosemary frowned next. 

Stepping a little closer towards the desk where both the men sat, Princess Rosemary's eyes were bold and straightforward. 

"What you mean is...

Princess Rosemary uttered with a pause, her voice was filled with immense guts as then the king came in action. 

"You have to go under a trial, Rosemary!

The king unfurled the mystery as the stepbrother smirked at the right choice of words of the king, being in the same room where the deal of throne was going on Prince Harry knew he had everything on his control. 

He joyed over every little moment happening in front of his eyes right there. 

Obviously the cunning illegitimate son wasn't that much of one sacrificing idiot to let the throne pass this easily to Princess Rosemary Jen. 

He had plans to take over the throne. 

It was all a trick to trap the Princess, just so he could win over the throne rather easily while defeating her rightfully.

That way she would back off with her will, accepting her defeat from him. 

Prince Harry wanted the rude Princess Rosemary to surrender and have the throne all to himself without her interference in future. 

Both the king and the arrogant prince shared one motive to make the Princess back down of her own and plotting well how to make that happen, the illegitimate Prince was joying over his victory silently. 

Everything was happening according to his plan. 

Meanwhile...

Without any knowledge of what king Louis meant, the arrogant princess took her father's every word by her ego. 

It more seemed like a challenge to her, Princess Rosemary didn't wanted to let her rightful throne be the possession of her step brother. 

She was determined to win the throne from her father. 

And now that the king did committed about all that, she was ready to perform her part of duty to win the throne and pass whichever trial was presented to her. 

But was it worth it? Was it going to be that easy as she thinks? 

"What do I need to do?

She questioned back as then the king looked at her sternly. 

Prince Harry smirked in victory as he stroke his chin in between his thumb and index finger being very delighted, the Princess was egoist and very prideful both the father and son knew her way too well. 

They knew that she wouldn't deny to perform the trial to win the throne. 

AN HOUR LATER

Princess Rosemary walked back to her chamber crossing the huge hallways of her palace late this night with her mind unwell as her eyes stayed strict and very serious. 

Soon entering inside the huge chamber of her, the first thing she saw was her royal server Daisy waiting for her arrival to unfurl the mystery about this sudden unexpected meeting of her with her father. 

"Princess Rose, what did the king say?

Running towards the Princess with heavy concern, Daisy panted momentarily. 

Obviously eager to know what would have happened in the King's study. What could really be the reason for the king to call Princess this late at night so urgently? 

"He is willing to name me the throne, Daisy!

Princess Rosemary uttered blankly while approaching her inbuilt pool inside her huge chamber, her mind was very disturbed as she settled herself near the pool. 

Granting one of the seats and eyeing her reflection on the pool her hands balled up and heart started running a mile. 

Princess Rosemary wasn't looking too fine to be good. 

The royal server frowned at the notable movements of Princess Rosemary quietly for short seconds before following her behind. 

"Then why do you look so pale, Princess?

Daisy questioned. 

Standing near the Princess and watching her being silent for few long minutes, Daisy waited for Princess Rosemary to break the silence whenever she was comfortable. 

What was up with her? 

"Father wants me to go under a trial.

Princess Rosemary uttered after a long period of silence with her voice sounding low as Daisy frowned then. 

Trial? What does the trial is about now? 

"He said I will get the throne if I will prove my worth to him!

Princess Rosemary continued after a moment while Daisy felt a hint of disappointment in her tone. 

As if there was something more to it. Letting the Princess complete her words, the royal server rubbed her arm as an encouragement. 

To make the Princess talk freely to her. 

"Father wants me to make someone fall for me!

Daisy's eyes widened at the claim while Princess Rosemary's eyes were serious and red at this point. 

To make someone fall for her? What type of trial is that? 

"Someone who?

Daisy questioned back again as Princess Rosemary immediately closed her eyes tightly before facing the other way in shame running through her vessels. 

"Upperclassman Xavier Sebastian!

The Princess uttered as Daisy felt her nerves becoming cold as soon as she heard the name, the royal server's body filled with wild terror immediately then. 

Master Xavier Sebastian was the upperclassman meaning the highest ranked man in their society, famous in all around the territories of the young Europe. He was preciously the only man who has been respected in everyone's rule. 

He ruled the rulers and their territories. Master Xavier was even controlling king Louis's territory under him. 

He was the most powerful man in the entire Europe. He was king of kings. 

King Louis envied him for who he was, he hated his kingdom being controlled by Master Xavier. Yet being the strongest among all kings, master Xavier's rule was obeyed in their kingdom too. 

Why would Princess Rosemary's father want her to make master Xavier fall for her? 

"And if I won't make that happen in coming 50 days then I have to back down from the title and marry the very man, father had selected for me while losing the throne to Harry!

Princess Rosemary cried one tear of cruelty. 

While Daisy only widened her eyes at her claim, Princess Rosemary never wanted to marry too young. 

The royal server, Daisy knew. 

Here the case was different now, the Princess was told to trap someone in her web of fake love? It was so greedy to do! 

Way too selfish! 

"Princess no, that's a sin!

Daisy panicked as she showed her disagreement to the deal immediately while pacing back and forth in the princess's chamber. 

Rosemary on the other-hand had her fists clenched tightly. 

"I know but why do you sound so difficult?

Rubbing her cruel tears off her eyes, Princess Rosemary looked at her royal server who seemed all anxious as soon as she heard everything. 

Princess became confused. 

"Any man would die to want me. I lack in nothing. I know it is selfish but I can just ask him to marry me than trapping him in my fake love!

True, rather than doing dirty with him princess Rosemary can instead ask master Xavier directly to marry her. 

In that way she would keep her father's wish and win the throne in her favour also she would not have anything to hide from none either...

Right? 

Rosemary stood up on her ground as then the next statement of her royal server made her surprised to the core. 

"King ain't no fool to grant you the throne so easily. That upperclassman is a celibate. Touching woman is far harsh thing, he forbids himself to even think about any woman."

The royal server revealed as the Princess's blood turned immediately cold in the same minute. 

Her eyes widened as she got every point correctly now. 

"How can you make a man practising strict celibacy fall for you Princess? That's impossible. This is not a deal, it is a trick!"
