Reincarnated to switch places with a princess (PART 1)

Chapter 5

Taking a deep breath, I fix my hair tie. 

Today was the day that the first royal prince would arrive. The heroine hasn't arrived yet so no worries but I can't ruin today. According to the novel, when William and Alexander first met, it didn't go well and it became one of the factors of why Alexander hates him.

As the cold wind blew, a loud trumpet could be heard. I look into the distance, the gates open to about a hundred guards on horses as they escort a  majestic green carriage decorated with flowers. As the horses came to a stop,swords were drawn as the door open to reveal the  royal family.

Their clothes reminding me of the 15th century. The king a tall man with a black beard and hair ( he kinda reminded me of karkaroff from harry potter) accompanied by a beautiful woman with blonde hair dressed in curls and emerald green eyes. 

As they moved forward, I could see a glimpse of Alexander accompanied by his own parade of attendants.

oh lord

 Greetings were spoken. Finishing a curtsy to the queen, I look to see Alexander. I admit, I was scared but I faked a smile and gave my best curtsy.  Blue eyes reflected in each other, we smiled.

Once the greetings had ended. We walked into the palace ready to give the tour.

Long story short, boring. Hopefully I would survive.

( Alexander POV)

The trip was frankly quite something. Unexpectedly it wasn't cold but cooling.

I don't understand why the old man had to bring so many damn guards.  My first impression simple. The king was a pervert. I mean who in their right mind cheats on his wife no wonder his first wife died. The queen was a witch, the way she looked at us was so calculating I swear I could puke same goes for her kids. The dowager wasn't so bad, the only reasonable authority here i guess.

The princess now that was another matter. I had heard rumours that she was shy and introverted but frankly the way I looked at her eyes, it felt like I was looking at another person and the smile she gave was fake? and her speech, it was familiar but where had I heard it before?

During the tour, I sneaked a peak at the princess aide, the way he acted polite yet i felt as if there was something deeper to it and the way he interacted with the princess. So unlike how Kevin acts.

The room they welcomed me in was beautiful though over decorated in my opinion. As I sat down by the fireplace I couldn't help but hear a strange noise from the window.

" Clink."

I turn around. 

Nothing.

 Walking towards the window, I open it . 

Again nothing.

However there was something. A red rose no a gem crafted into a rose. Looking around, there was no one in sight, how strange and why a rose? 

Something was definitely up.

picking it up, I close the window and draw the curtain hoping that a good night of sleep was all I needed but I couldn't help but feel there was something out there.

( meanwhile)

Outside of the little prince's bedroom. A figure lay against a wall a thin smile spread across their face.

" fufu...."
