Chapter 16 - Is she truly Vivian?

Vivian glared at the knight, she had to admit, in times, her villainess persona came in handy. "Now... who was running their mouth on about the only princess in the empire who's engaged to the only prince of the empire, the only daughter between the dukedoms and the eldest child of the Neptine's being a mere, lowly noble?" The knight shuddered, "Y-your highness!" He shouted out, looking at the prince, in his mind, he thought, *The prince hates Her highess princess Vivian, and she was just so disrespectful to him, of course he would take my side in an attempt to diminish her authority! Nomatter their status's, the prince has royal blood in his veins!*

Vivian cast a bored glance at the prince, then looked back at the knight and smirked, "Out little prince won't be able to help you, knight..."*she said, a malisious smile playing on her lips, "I'm engaged to Ian here so... Her majesty the empress and his majesty the king are are my parents-in-law... not to mention that my own father is a duke" She continued, grabbing his chin and yanking it roughly, "Mark my words, by the time I' done with you, you'll be begging for death. I mean it."

Just then, Floria peeked out from behind Vivian's dress, casting a long, disgusted glance at the prince, "Who's he? He smells like one of those haughty flame nymphs" Vivivan bit her touch as to not snicker right then and there, "He's a prince, but not the nice one's from the fairy tales... and he's also my fiance, so, I would appreciate if you didn't diminish him further in regards to my honor." Vivian glanced at the prince, who looked scandelizedm his face frozen and gloomy, "A haughty nymph... me? the prince of the empire?" He said in rage at the child, "How dare a mere child call me haughty!"

Vivian tried her best to hold in a laugh, "Ian, you sound... indignent." The prince burst out with childish rage, "How dare you call me by my first name! you presumpcious little-! and I do NOT sound indignent! I'm a prince! not some measly-!" Floria playfuly stuck her tongue out at him, then glanced at Vivian who tapped her shoulder, "What" Floria hissed, she was having quite the time looking at the prince's embarressedly red face. "Send a message to the palace and say that, "The princess was attacked by bandits in the Neptine moutain path leading to the dukedom and is bleeding." that should get us help quick"

Floria raised at eyebrow but complied, using her strands of red magic to send a message, "Wouldn't it be faster if we said the prince was here, though?" Floria muttered. Vivian glanced over at the prince, then back at Floria, "No, it wouldn't" The prince said, Vivian was taked aback that he answered a mutter from a child, even though the question could damage his dignity.
