Brielle's POV:

It was the next morning when I was dressed in my pink ballgown where I left my bedroom; As I was heading to the gazebo for breakfast with our suitors, I smiled greeting my brother

My Gown:

I also knew that today was my brother's engagement ball and the announcement that Father would be making at the ball where Carlos was to be my suitor and my husband once I was a little older  

Antonio sees me before he too greets me good morning "Morning Brielle," He said

We began walking downstairs to the gazebo together

"Morning Antonio." I sadly sighed, earning his attention and concern

"Is something the matter, sister?" He asked, worried

"It's just... I so wished Father didn't force us to have suitors, not to mention you to get engaged immediately. Why couldn't Father understand that we have feelings for another girl and boy?" I frowned

Antonio didn't know what to say only for him to hug me which I smiled hugging him back

"I too understand how you feel, but you perfectly know that our feelings don't matter to Father." Antonio sighed before we ended the hug

"Maybe in the future, it won't be so bad. Plus you and Luciana can be friends Bribri just like, Carlos and I can also be friends. And also in the future, the two of us can grow feelings for our... suitors."

"I really hope so Tonio.." I looked at him, unsure

He didn't say anything else but gave me a reassuring slight smile

He then came up with an idea in hopes of cheering us up

"Bri why don't we invite, Ro and Sen to breakfast? I'm sure that they have yet to try an actual meal and we can teach them about proper manners for fork and knife." He suggested

Where I smiled thinking it was a good idea, a wonderful idea

"I'd like that idea, Antonio." I smiled making him smile

"Wonderful, let's go to the greenhouse." Tonio gently grabbed my hand and the two of us began heading to the greenhouse

We shortly arrived at the greenhouse, and seeing that the twins were with Tika 

"Ro?" My brother called for her

"Sen?" I called for him

"Ro! Sen! We've been looking everywhere for you both." My brother informed them with his arms extended outwards a bit

They were confused after hearing this before they started walking to us 

"We'd like our parents to get to know you two better. Please, Ro, Sen join us for tea." I asked them, my right hand motioned to the gazebo where morning tea was to be held

"Tea?" Ro and Sen asked in confusion

We smiled, leading the twins to the guest bedrooms as we explained to the two what it was about 

We helped them get dressed I chose a lovely pink gown and Antonio chose a handsome pink colored suit fit for a good-looking and kind noble  

I smiled waiting for Sen to leave the dressing room as my brother was waiting for Ro to leave the dressing room

Ro and Sen left the dressing rooms looking wonderful and beautiful and handsome

"Sen you look wonderfully handsome." I complimented his new attire with a smile on my face

Hearing me compliment and how I believed that he was handsomely made his heart flutter

He nervously smiles looking at his wrists "I don't think I could get used to wearing something this... dashing." Sen said

"Don't worry Sen, you'll get used to the suits soon," I reassured him

"As you wish, Brielle. I'll believe your word. But you look lovely in your dress." Sen was reassured before complimenting me making me smile and my cheeks were turning pink

I smiled as he smiled backing having our few moments before Ro spoked up, ending our moment

"Brielle, Sen we should go now," Ro told me

We nodded at Ro when I smiled seeing that Sen was being a gentleman and offered his arm to me

I accepted his gesture and I wrapped my arm around his and we both headed to the gazebo

The four of us exited the castle where we saw our parents, Luciana, Carlos, and their parents sitting, already starting tea

Everyone sees my arm wrapped around Sen's as Father and Julius frown from seeing this and offense

Seeing that Father and King Julius were displeased, Sen abruptly let go of my arm causing me to frown

We quickly sat down on our seats as Sen sat next to me and Antonio sat next to Ro 

15 minutes have passed and Gerald was serving Queen Ariana her cup    

"I love this castle." Queen Ariana complimented "Everything is just the way I re- I would have done it myself." She clasped her hands before correcting herself

Mother leaned forward "Consider our home your home." Mother told her

"Just like you Julius, my old friend" Father added

"Thank you, Peter." King Julius thanked him 

Queen Ariana looked at our mother "Oh, I already do." She laughed "Did I mention that my darling Luciana is an accomplished harpist? I started her as soon as she could sit up." Queen Ariana told us as I looked at Sen earning his attention began to have our own moment 

Luciana glanced at her mother "Mother." Luciana sighed

I looked at Luciana "I believe it's impressive for being talented from a young age. Luciana, maybe you can show me some of your music pieces?" I complimented before asking

Luciana gave me a smile "I'll be delighted too Brielle." Luciana agrees making me smile before taking a sip

Then Queen Ariana notices her daughter's posture "Stop slouching." She scolded making her daughter straighten her posture

Then King Julius looks at his "Carlos, why don't you tell everyone about your horse riding skills, your fencing skills, and your intelligence" King Julius asks his son

"Maybe later father," Carlos answers

Before King Julius looked at us "My charming boy's an accomplished rider and fencer. He started at the age of five because he wanted to protect the girl he loved." He informs us      

Ro and Sen grabbed the teacups before they drank it

"Ow!" Ro burned her tongue, and immediately set her cup down

"That hurts!" Sen adds, shouting also burning his tongue before immediately setting his cup down

Hearing this, earned our attention

"Watch me" Princess Luciana shows her how to properly drink it

"Thank you." Ro thanks her in appreciation

"Thank you, Princess." Sen thanked her, and appreciated

"Ro and Sen grew up on an island in the South Seas." Antonio begun a new topic conversation

"Really, you could hardly tell." Queen Ariana sarcastically said

"Especially when they have no idea on how to properly drink." King Julius sarcastically added 

Then they looked at Tallulah "Look how charming your little monkey is." Queen Ariana complimented, her right hand motioned to Mother's beloved pet who was properly drinking her tea

"Such wonderful manners. And she's a monkey!" Queen Ariana remarked, hurting the twins' feelings as they looked down

"Sweetheart, tell Prince Antonio about your watercolors." Queen Ariana touched her daughter's shoulder

"Son, tell Princess Brielle about your horse riding." King Julius says

"Perhaps another time, Mother," Luciana answered

"I agree with Princess Luciana, Father." Carlos agrees 

"Don't be modest. Go on, you love to paint." Queen Ariana insisted as Luciana looked at her 

"Oh, I do. The colors seem to come to life on the page." Luciana has begun retelling

Queen Ariana grabbed a cookie from the servant Gerald who was holding a tray of cookies

"I wholeheartedly agree Luciana, how every brush stroke began taking part in something wonderful." I agreed causing her to smile at me

Unknowingly to either of us, Queen Ariana 'accidentally' tripped Gerald causing him to stumble forward, falling into the twins and the cookies spilled over the twins

Causing them to gasp, standing up and seeing the mess on their new clothes

"Whoa! Oh my! So sorry, Sir, Miss." One of the servants named Gerald apologized to the twins

Seeing that neither of them belonged in this tea and our world, they needed to leave to get some time for themselves

"I... I should go." Ro and Sen frowned, abruptly leaving

"Ro, wait." Tonio watched her leave

"Sen please don't go." I frowned in concerned

We were about to get up from our seats and go after the twins when Mother noticed this

Mother grabbed our hands "Antonio, Brielle. Let them go. They need a moment to themselves." Mother stopped us, earning our attention

The twins ran to retreat to the greenhouse to get their peace

When the tea had finished, Father, Queen Ariana, and King Julius suggested that the four of us go together on a walk, in an attempt to get to know each other more.

10 minutes passed when Carlos and I walked through different sections of the gardens, sharing a conversation

"What do you enjoy most on your travels with your brother, Your Highness?" Carlos asked me

"Oh, everything Carlos. Following the wind, discovering something new and wonderful! You never know what hidden beauty, tresures to be found, beign inspires to paint and draw." I smiled

"But don't you miss the comforts of home after traveling so much?" Carlos asked

"I do, and as much as i love to be home with my sisters, my family and all. There something exciting about traveling in the sea with my brother, makes you feel freeing!" I smiled before walking forward

Carlos didn't know or react to what I said as he followed me

Carlos and I caught up to Luciana and Tonio where the four of us were heading to the Royal Stables

Where we see our parents talking to each other

Before the four of us see Queen Ariana and King Julius walked around the corner of the Stables when Luciana and Carlos followed their parents

"Let me help, Mother." Luciana runs after her mother

"Wait up Father," Carlos goes after his Father where he was with Queen Ariana

Where we see Queen Ariana and King Julius were at the well as if Queen Ariana already knew her ways around the castle

We begun walking towards when for some reason, my brother was suspicious about something

"Odd, isn't it?" Tonio asked as we look at my brother "Queen Ariana knew exactly where to find the well, even though she's never been here before." Tonio suspisiously say as we watched Luciana, Carlos and King Julius try to help Queen Ariana

"That is odd and suspicious..... should we keep a close eye on her?" I asked

"It is a bit odd." Father says before answering my question "And Brielle, its not necessary

We soon hear Tallulah chattering seeing that she was happy swinging from branch to branch

We see Ro and Sen having fun, swinging with Tallulah through the tree branches

"Looking good, Tallulah! You're a natural!" Ro laughed, complimenting and followed Tallulah

"Looks like you didnt forget your skills, Tallulah!" Sen smiles, following Tallulah and Ro

Father was getting displeased at Ro and Sen

"Not another word against Queen Ariana. You're marrying Princess Luciana and that's final." Father sternly told Tonio before looked at me

"And you're marrying Prince Carlos Brielle, and that final." Father firmly told me before walking away

Tonio and I looked back at the twins who are having a wonderful time with being themselves with smiles on our faces
