Last night was a big head ache. Edmond was still on the bed sleeping while Erik is getting his clothes ready and the Prince's breakfast that he cook for him. They don't order foods from the service. Gia told him not to because of some reasons that Erik truly understands. He was snoring softly hugging the pillow. He was still dreaming on his crush dancing on his head and he was the one dancing with her. It was the best dream he had and he doesn't want to wake up.
After a few minutes he wake up like someone is waking him up but Erik did not even disturb him. He sighed rubbing his palms on his face. He threw the pillow on his face. After a few seconds he realized that he is going to see her personally not in a dream anymore. He quickly jumped from bed rushing on the bathroom. Erik knocks telling him that his breakfast had served.
They went to the biggest building that Gia owned and where her story home is. But they went to her office. The secretary told them that she is recording an album with her cousins and friends. They enter the room and enter another room. Edmond and Erik enter the control room where Ken is doing a job to adjust the sounds on the components. She is singing a pop song in the title of "Here we go again" of Demi Lovato. She is moving her head and trying to be a rock star Princess. Then she stops and sighed glaring at Ken but she furrows looking at Edmond who is smiling and waving at her.
She ignored Edmond and she looked directly at Ken, scowling.
"I am an opera singer not a rock star." She reminds.
"Hey, the song suits you. Right, Edmond?" Ken asked for his approval.
"It was great." Edmond commented. "I wanted to hear it from the top." He smiles. Gia shook her head and looked at Stephen who is playing the drums and Miles playing the bass guitar and Ryle playing the electric guitar.
"Okay, gentlemen from the top." While she's singing she is glancing sharply at Edmond who is smiling listening and watching her sing. She closed her eyes holding the headphone on her right ear.
After the song she stretches and they clapped because it was a success. She yawns and Stephen tosses the bottle of water to her. She drank it while Edmond is enjoying watching her every move. He loves her every work and he had a lot to tell it to his father. She knows how to paint, how to sing, how to dance, how to handle businesses, how to make every man kissed the ground that she is walking and there's so much about her that he wanted to know.
Edmond gave Erik a half day break in the salon. He took it as a granted while Edmond is with Gia and her friends and cousins. They are making a music video and Edmond volunteer to play the grand piano on her office. She is sitting on the piano table wearing a red dress singing the song that Ken composed for the true love.
Ryle is directing the music video telling her to be more emotional. She's an actress but she is damn tired so she can't do it well. She jumped off the piano table bare feet and walked around Edmond sitting beside him and played the piano in dual with him. He smiles glancing at her. It's like he was in love for the first time. She leans on his shoulder and he tilts his head leaning at her too. She was smiling beautifully though the camera is on them. It's no acting but it's real. He was real to.
"Is it okay if you two take the kissing scene?" Ryle asked. "It's not like that you two had been done that a lot..." Ryle murmurs but Edmond didn't hear him clearly when Gia interrupted by playing the piano. "Oh-kay..." he hands up.
Edmond played the piano again to act again. She did the same sitting on the piano table while watching him playing. When she moved to the piano seat she played along with him and with the notes. She leans on his shoulder while singing. He gently turns his head kissing the top of her head secretly. Then when the notes had end she lift her face facing him and he moved swiftly kissing her lips by pressing his to hers. She closed her eyes slowly feeling his warmth.
She didn't agree on the kissing part but Edmond did it. Ken is grinning because they are actually not acting but everything are natural to them including the love that they can see at each other's eyes. There are sparkling loves in their eyes. This music video will sell a lot because of them. She pushed herself from him after Ryle said cut. It was about almost 2 minutes before he said it. He is doing it on purpose. Gia stretches her arms and rounding her neck.
"Finally, I can sleep now." Then she walks to the couch dropping her body and putting her legs over Miles' lap. Miles tapped her knees as she closed her eyes and sleep. She was fast asleep while Miles is massaging her ankle and toes. Edmond watched her sleeping and was puzzled on how fast she falls asleep. Miles had noticed the curiosity on his face so he explained.
"She has this called sleeping syndrome though there's still no approval about it."
"Sleeping syndrome?" he asked.
"Yes, more like her habit if you knew... like narcolepsy..." he prolongs still massaging her soft feet. "But on his brother's research it is uncured. Though he had tried the scanning machine to her it didn't work. She is still sleeping around whenever she gets tired like she collapsed. It will take more than ten hours for her to wake up not if the dog is licking and barking at her and if y—" he stopped when Stephen cleared his throat. Miles was about to spill that she wakes up whenever her Prince charming is kissing her on lips like sleeping beauty.
"She is hard to wake up when she was asleep or you can't wake her up until she had regained her energy."
"More like sleeping beauty." Edmond joked.
"Yes, to be precise, Sleeping Beauty Syndrome." Stephen told.
The gentlemen had gone out to check on some things around the small city. He was left alone with her and still clueless on why the gentlemen leave him with her. He is just playing the piano in soft and gentle music he knows. Whenever he play he can't stop glancing or watching her. His body wanted to be close to her until their bodies are pressed on each other. His body doesn't want paces from her. He stopped playing and stood walking towards her like he has no control on his self towards her.
He kneel one knee in front of her while she is sleeping with a blanket covered her. Her cheek is pressed on the cushion of the sofa. He caressed her soft brown hair with a bit color of red when the sun is shining above her. He doesn't want to wake her up and wanted to stare at her for a long time. But when he remembers on what Miles said minutes ago that she has this called Sleeping Syndrome, he can touch her, caressed her whenever he wants that won't wake her up. He tries on kissing her soft cheek and it doesn't wake her. He smiled on the thought that he's being a pervert.
She moved and breathes but she's not awake. He sighed in relieved because he will going to panic that she might think that he's harassing her. He kept on staring at her red plump lips finding it so attractive. When her eyes are open they are attractive too which make her gorgeous. There is something about her that makes him want her, touch her and love her. Though it was impossible because they just met three days ago.
"What are you to me?" he whispered. He stood when the door opens and a big dog enters. His fur is white spotted with black but not a Dalmatian but a Great Dane. The dog barks tongue hanging on his mouth. He jumped to Edmond that makes him fall his butt on the single sofa. The dog keeps licking him on face. He giggles found it gross and sweet. The dog likes him so he felt the same. "Nice to meet you..." Edmond said wiping his face as the dog sat on the marble floor tongue still hanging on his mouth. "I'm Edmond," he offered his hand to the dog for a hand shake. The dog had put his right foot on Edmond's palm and Edmond shook it amused by it.
"Oh, sorry about that, your highness." The secretary told nodding.
"No, it's nothing, and please, call me Edmond." He said smiling.
The secretary's eyes shine and she smiles nodding. The secretary leaves them and Edmond looked down on the dog. The dog barks at him and he stood jumping on Gia on the sofa. He started licking her face that makes her furrowed her forehead. Edmond just watches the dog. It's gross but sweet. Gia moans and she open one eye. She pulls her right hand up and gesture in a gun.
"Bang!" she shoots Dane. Dane falls on the floor and acted dead whining. Gia wipes her face with the blanket. "Good thing that I always brush your teeth." She murmurs and Edmond found it really amusing. She goes back to sleep. Dane stayed on the floor doing his act.
"Gia, it's past twelve let's have lunch." Edmond told standing from his seat.
"Go by yourself or asked my secretary to order foods."
"C'mon, I don't want to eat alone..." he insisted pulling the blanket from her. She didn't mind the blanket and just sleep. "Gia please..." he pokes her soft cheek. Dane stood from the floor and jumped on the sofa on Gia's feet. "I'm sure this Dude over here is hungry too." He pinches her nose. She slapped his hand away that makes him giggles. "You hungry, right?" Edmond asked turning to the big dog. The dog howls as a response. "See? You don't want this big guy to starve right?"
"What time is it?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
"Uhm," he looked at his Rolex wrist watch. "Almost one, 12:55." He told that makes her automatically sit up and rushed to computer set. She set it punching on the keyboard and she rushed to the dressing room. He just watched her and after a few seconds maybe two minutes she was out wearing a DIA suit. She gathered her hair rounding it and tucked a chop stick on it.
"Wow," he puffs an air. She looked at him winking.
"You want to see my work?" she tilts her head. "Watch this." She stood in the middle of room. "Jones put me on line." She demands her AI.
"Will be on line, in three-two-one..." she sighed.
"Greetings agents?" she said as the projector of DIA agents are gathered around.
"Greetings Miss." they chorus in an army like voices.
"So for this week I will give you tasks. Your mission will be given to you by Chief in command. Be ready, if you solve this case as soon as possible you will be given a bronze medal as the symbol of your first mission." She said as she walks back and forth hands on her back. Edmond can't unlock his eyes on her. She was a grace that might be her middle name. "Good luck and have a good day." The projector turned off and then a lady's face that looks like an artist appears. "Greetings, Mhia." She greets.
"Oh hi, Miss James." She smiles wonderfully on Gia. Gia smile in very businesslike.
"Mhia it's your time now to be famous." Gia told. "Your act are splendid in my city, now, you are going to die."
Edmond's jaw dropped. "W-wait—" Gia raise her hand facing Edmond to stop her.
"I understand, Miss." Mhia said nodding but keep her smile.
"And I will give you another assignment after."
How can she give another assignment if the person is dead? Edmond thought getting crazy.
"You'll die tonight," she said. Mhia nods and disappear from the projector.
"How can you possibly tell them to die?" Edmond blurted. His face reddens and confused. Gia laughs like a mad genius. "Then suddenly give their assignments?" he sighed exasperated.
"You'll never know." She said crossing her arms over her chest pressing it a bit showing a bit line of her cleavage to him but he looked away and lean back on the sofa. "By what I mean that she's going to die, it means that it is their time to act."
"What does that mean?" he asked. "Are you crazy?"
"No." she said not even offended. "I can say that I am genius. Well you see, they don't exactly die, I am not a murderer here. I am just here to play and manipulate."
"So you mean it was just a show?" he asked. She nods. He sighed relieved. "So real agents will get her autopsied though she was still alive?" he asked.
"Yes, they are going to put her in temporary death but soon will wake up without any scratch."
"And real agents will investigate the case?"
"Precisely."
"Does they knew that it was all for a show?" he asked.
"No, the first timers don't know. Only the officers and the people who take an act."
"Does it make them crazy that killing really happened in your city?" he asked again.
"That's what makes it thrilling to them. If they knew that it was all fake then what's the thrill?"
"You got a point." he said nodding.
"I know, I always have a point." she said walking towards the sofa and seat beside him. She called her secretary by her AI. The secretary rushed inside. "Order us our lunch." She told.
"Yes ma'am. The same with peanuts?" she asked.
"No peanuts he's allergic." She told the secretary. Edmond looked puzzled. "You like anything to eat beside of what I had ordered?" Gia asked.
"Oh, nothing, whatever you ordered I will eat them." he told smiling. The secretary nods and leaves. He wanted to ask her on how she knew that he's allergic to peanuts. But the dog howls. "What's his name, by the way?" he asked.
"His name is Dane." Gia told. She didn't bought Dane but she found him on the Wicklow Mountain near their house trapped on the cage with lots of wounds and blood, crying for help. Gia thought that some psychopaths are playing on an innocent dog.
"Pretty dog," Edmond patted the dog.
Gia just watch him. Dane is like the reincarnation of Prince. They have the same senses and the same behaviors. They both like Edmond. And Gretta told her that Prince has been her life guardian as the curse breaker of the werewolves so his soul must passed to another kind of a dog.
When the four gorgeous gentlemen had arrived just in time their lunch had served in the eight seat dining room inside her office floor. The twins are eating in noisy way that makes their lunch light up and eat a lot more. They keep on playing on Edmond just to make him peeved on them but Edmond just play along so they play on Gia that instantly get peeved on them.
"If the two of you wanted to play on me make sure that I am in mood." She told as she sipped on her juice gracefully.
"Gia what about we go in a bet?" they asked.
"Poker?" she asked still calm.
"Yup," the twins grin with high five. Ken kicked Stephen under the table.
"Consider it done," she said.
"You play pokers?" Edmond asked.
"Yup and she's the Queen of royalties." Ryle told. "You play one?" they asked.
"Not really but I have a little idea about it. Isabel taught me to play." He said. Gia smiled because she is the one who actually taught Isabel. The King had no objection on it, in fact he knows how to play one.
"Then, let's all get settled tonight." Miles said grinning. "Put your bet on."
"Money bet?" he asked.
"Oh, anything you want including yourself." Stephen told.

The king is getting flustered and worried. Lady Elaine is getting into his nerves. He promised his son that no one will replaced Gia as the Crown Princess. Now that half of the Lords is pushing him to make a final decision in choosing the crown Princess. It will give their country a bad side that Gia had been in movies. She was a celebrity and not a standard for their crown Princess. Elaine should be the one. He is clueless why they are insisting that Elaine should be the crown Princess not the one of the other Royal Ladies. He have to know, he have to.
Isabel rushed to his father's office and opens the television. They are now interviewing Lady Elaine if the Prince had asked her to marry him after the engagement is broken between the Prince and the Artist Gia. She said that the Prince hasn't asked her about it and such things she say just to look innocent.
"That's absurd!" the Queen scoffs. "How can they possibly know that the engagement between Edmond and Vitoria is broken? We didn't even make a statement about it."
"Chill mother," Isabel told folding her arms. "I am sure that they are planning on something." Isabel said like a criminal mastermind. The King and Queen looked at her quizzically.
"So Detective Princess, what's the plan?" the King teased. She had been watching some criminal cases and action movies that Gia had direct and where she is the leading actress.
"I am planning to spy on them. You see, we have proof that the accident is not an accident three years ago. Someone is trying to kill the Crown Princess." She told them twitching her lips.
"Enough watching movies, you acted like Sherlock." Her mother told.
"But she is right, honey." The King told. "We have been investigating it secretly until now." He lowered his voice for them not to hear.
"I'll go talk to Edmond." She said excusing herself.

Last night was a big head ache. Edmond was still on the bed sleeping while Erik is getting his clothes ready and the Prince's breakfast that he cook for him. They don't order foods from the service. Gia told him not to because of some reasons that Erik truly understands. He was snoring softly hugging the pillow. He was still dreaming on his crush dancing on his head and he was the one dancing with her. It was the best dream he had and he doesn't want to wake up.After a few minutes he wake up like someone is waking him up but Erik did not even disturb him. He sighed rubbing his palms on his face. He threw the pillow on his face. After a few seconds he realized that he is going to see her personally not in a dream anymore. He quickly jumped from bed rushing on the bathroom. Erik knocks telling him that his breakfast had served.They went to the biggest building that Gia owned and where her story home is. But they went to her office. The secretary told them that she is recording an album with her cousins and friends. They enter the room and enter another room. Edmond and Erik enter the control room where Ken is doing a job to adjust the sounds on the components. She is singing a pop song in the title of "Here we go again" of Demi Lovato. She is moving her head and trying to be a rock star Princess. Then she stops and sighed glaring at Ken but she furrows looking at Edmond who is smiling and waving at her.She ignored Edmond and she looked directly at Ken, scowling."I am an opera singer not a rock star." She reminds."Hey, the song suits you. Right, Edmond?" Ken asked for his approval."It was great." Edmond commented. "I wanted to hear it from the top." He smiles. Gia shook her head and looked at Stephen who is playing the drums and Miles playing the bass guitar and Ryle playing the electric guitar."Okay, gentlemen from the top." While she's singing she is glancing sharply at Edmond who is smiling listening and watching her sing. She closed her eyes holding the headphone on her right ear.After the song she stretches and they clapped because it was a success. She yawns and Stephen tosses the bottle of water to her. She drank it while Edmond is enjoying watching her every move. He loves her every work and he had a lot to tell it to his father. She knows how to paint, how to sing, how to dance, how to handle businesses, how to make every man kissed the ground that she is walking and there's so much about her that he wanted to know.Edmond gave Erik a half day break in the salon. He took it as a granted while Edmond is with Gia and her friends and cousins. They are making a music video and Edmond volunteer to play the grand piano on her office. She is sitting on the piano table wearing a red dress singing the song that Ken composed for the true love.Ryle is directing the music video telling her to be more emotional. She's an actress but she is damn tired so she can't do it well. She jumped off the piano table bare feet and walked around Edmond sitting beside him and played the piano in dual with him. He smiles glancing at her. It's like he was in love for the first time. She leans on his shoulder and he tilts his head leaning at her too. She was smiling beautifully though the camera is on them. It's no acting but it's real. He was real to."Is it okay if you two take the kissing scene?" Ryle asked. "It's not like that you two had been done that a lot..." Ryle murmurs but Edmond didn't hear him clearly when Gia interrupted by playing the piano. "Oh-kay..." he hands up.Edmond played the piano again to act again. She did the same sitting on the piano table while watching him playing. When she moved to the piano seat she played along with him and with the notes. She leans on his shoulder while singing. He gently turns his head kissing the top of her head secretly. Then when the notes had end she lift her face facing him and he moved swiftly kissing her lips by pressing his to hers. She closed her eyes slowly feeling his warmth.She didn't agree on the kissing part but Edmond did it. Ken is grinning because they are actually not acting but everything are natural to them including the love that they can see at each other's eyes. There are sparkling loves in their eyes. This music video will sell a lot because of them. She pushed herself from him after Ryle said cut. It was about almost 2 minutes before he said it. He is doing it on purpose. Gia stretches her arms and rounding her neck."Finally, I can sleep now." Then she walks to the couch dropping her body and putting her legs over Miles' lap. Miles tapped her knees as she closed her eyes and sleep. She was fast asleep while Miles is massaging her ankle and toes. Edmond watched her sleeping and was puzzled on how fast she falls asleep. Miles had noticed the curiosity on his face so he explained."She has this called sleeping syndrome though there's still no approval about it.""Sleeping syndrome?" he asked."Yes, more like her habit if you knew... like narcolepsy..." he prolongs still massaging her soft feet. "But on his brother's research it is uncured. Though he had tried the scanning machine to her it didn't work. She is still sleeping around whenever she gets tired like she collapsed. It will take more than ten hours for her to wake up not if the dog is licking and barking at her and if y" he stopped when Stephen cleared his throat. Miles was about to spill that she wakes up whenever her Prince charming is kissing her on lips like sleeping beauty."She is hard to wake up when she was asleep or you can't wake her up until she had regained her energy.""More like sleeping beauty." Edmond joked."Yes, to be precise, Sleeping Beauty Syndrome." Stephen told.The gentlemen had gone out to check on some things around the small city. He was left alone with her and still clueless on why the gentlemen leave him with her. He is just playing the piano in soft and gentle music he knows. Whenever he play he can't stop glancing or watching her. His body wanted to be close to her until their bodies are pressed on each other. His body doesn't want paces from her. He stopped playing and stood walking towards her like he has no control on his self towards her.He kneel one knee in front of her while she is sleeping with a blanket covered her. Her cheek is pressed on the cushion of the sofa. He caressed her soft brown hair with a bit color of red when the sun is shining above her. He doesn't want to wake her up and wanted to stare at her for a long time. But when he remembers on what Miles said minutes ago that she has this called Sleeping Syndrome, he can touch her, caressed her whenever he wants that won't wake her up. He tries on kissing her soft cheek and it doesn't wake her. He smiled on the thought that he's being a pervert.She moved and breathes but she's not awake. He sighed in relieved because he will going to panic that she might think that he's harassing her. He kept on staring at her red plump lips finding it so attractive. When her eyes are open they are attractive too which make her gorgeous. There is something about her that makes him want her, touch her and love her. Though it was impossible because they just met three days ago."What are you to me?" he whispered. He stood when the door opens and a big dog enters. His fur is white spotted with black but not a Dalmatian but a Great Dane. The dog barks tongue hanging on his mouth. He jumped to Edmond that makes him fall his butt on the single sofa. The dog keeps licking him on face. He giggles found it gross and sweet. The dog likes him so he felt the same. "Nice to meet you..." Edmond said wiping his face as the dog sat on the marble floor tongue still hanging on his mouth. "I'm Edmond," he offered his hand to the dog for a hand shake. The dog had put his right foot on Edmond's palm and Edmond shook it amused by it."Oh, sorry about that, your highness." The secretary told nodding."No, it's nothing, and please, call me Edmond." He said smiling.The secretary's eyes shine and she smiles nodding. The secretary leaves them and Edmond looked down on the dog. The dog barks at him and he stood jumping on Gia on the sofa. He started licking her face that makes her furrowed her forehead. Edmond just watches the dog. It's gross but sweet. Gia moans and she open one eye. She pulls her right hand up and gesture in a gun."Bang!" she shoots Dane. Dane falls on the floor and acted dead whining. Gia wipes her face with the blanket. "Good thing that I always brush your teeth." She murmurs and Edmond found it really amusing. She goes back to sleep. Dane stayed on the floor doing his act."Gia, it's past twelve let's have lunch." Edmond told standing from his seat."Go by yourself or asked my secretary to order foods.""C'mon, I don't want to eat alone..." he insisted pulling the blanket from her. She didn't mind the blanket and just sleep. "Gia please..." he pokes her soft cheek. Dane stood from the floor and jumped on the sofa on Gia's feet. "I'm sure this Dude over here is hungry too." He pinches her nose. She slapped his hand away that makes him giggles. "You hungry, right?" Edmond asked turning to the big dog. The dog howls as a response. "See? You don't want this big guy to starve right?""What time is it?" she asked rubbing her eyes."Uhm," he looked at his Rolex wrist watch. "Almost one, 12:55." He told that makes her automatically sit up and rushed to computer set. She set it punching on the keyboard and she rushed to the dressing room. He just watched her and after a few seconds maybe two minutes she was out wearing a DIA suit. She gathered her hair rounding it and tucked a chop stick on it."Wow," he puffs an air. She looked at him winking."You want to see my work?" she tilts her head. "Watch this." She stood in the middle of room. "Jones put me on line." She demands her AI."Will be on line, in three-two-one..." she sighed."Greetings agents?" she said as the projector of DIA agents are gathered around."Greetings Miss." they chorus in an army like voices."So for this week I will give you tasks. Your mission will be given to you by Chief in command. Be ready, if you solve this case as soon as possible you will be given a bronze medal as the symbol of your first mission." She said as she walks back and forth hands on her back. Edmond can't unlock his eyes on her. She was a grace that might be her middle name. "Good luck and have a good day." The projector turned off and then a lady's face that looks like an artist appears. "Greetings, Mhia." She greets."Oh hi, Miss James." She smiles wonderfully on Gia. Gia smile in very businesslike."Mhia it's your time now to be famous." Gia told. "Your act are splendid in my city, now, you are going to die."Edmond's jaw dropped. "W-wait" Gia raise her hand facing Edmond to stop her."I understand, Miss." Mhia said nodding but keep her smile."And I will give you another assignment after."How can she give another assignment if the person is dead? Edmond thought getting crazy."You'll die tonight," she said. Mhia nods and disappear from the projector."How can you possibly tell them to die?" Edmond blurted. His face reddens and confused. Gia laughs like a mad genius. "Then suddenly give their assignments?" he sighed exasperated."You'll never know." She said crossing her arms over her chest pressing it a bit showing a bit line of her cleavage to him but he looked away and lean back on the sofa. "By what I mean that she's going to die, it means that it is their time to act.""What does that mean?" he asked. "Are you crazy?""No." she said not even offended. "I can say that I am genius. Well you see, they don't exactly die, I am not a murderer here. I am just here to play and manipulate.""So you mean it was just a show?" he asked. She nods. He sighed relieved. "So real agents will get her autopsied though she was still alive?" he asked."Yes, they are going to put her in temporary death but soon will wake up without any scratch.""And real agents will investigate the case?""Precisely.""Does they knew that it was all for a show?" he asked."No, the first timers don't know. Only the officers and the people who take an act.""Does it make them crazy that killing really happened in your city?" he asked again."That's what makes it thrilling to them. If they knew that it was all fake then what's the thrill?""You got a point." he said nodding."I know, I always have a point." she said walking towards the sofa and seat beside him. She called her secretary by her AI. The secretary rushed inside. "Order us our lunch." She told."Yes ma'am. The same with peanuts?" she asked."No peanuts he's allergic." She told the secretary. Edmond looked puzzled. "You like anything to eat beside of what I had ordered?" Gia asked."Oh, nothing, whatever you ordered I will eat them." he told smiling. The secretary nods and leaves. He wanted to ask her on how she knew that he's allergic to peanuts. But the dog howls. "What's his name, by the way?" he asked."His name is Dane." Gia told. She didn't bought Dane but she found him on the Wicklow Mountain near their house trapped on the cage with lots of wounds and blood, crying for help. Gia thought that some psychopaths are playing on an innocent dog."Pretty dog," Edmond patted the dog.Gia just watch him. Dane is like the reincarnation of Prince. They have the same senses and the same behaviors. They both like Edmond. And Gretta told her that Prince has been her life guardian as the curse breaker of the werewolves so his soul must passed to another kind of a dog.When the four gorgeous gentlemen had arrived just in time their lunch had served in the eight seat dining room inside her office floor. The twins are eating in noisy way that makes their lunch light up and eat a lot more. They keep on playing on Edmond just to make him peeved on them but Edmond just play along so they play on Gia that instantly get peeved on them."If the two of you wanted to play on me make sure that I am in mood." She told as she sipped on her juice gracefully."Gia what about we go in a bet?" they asked."Poker?" she asked still calm."Yup," the twins grin with high five. Ken kicked Stephen under the table."Consider it done," she said."You play pokers?" Edmond asked."Yup and she's the Queen of royalties." Ryle told. "You play one?" they asked."Not really but I have a little idea about it. Isabel taught me to play." He said. Gia smiled because she is the one who actually taught Isabel. The King had no objection on it, in fact he knows how to play one."Then, let's all get settled tonight." Miles said grinning. "Put your bet on.""Money bet?" he asked."Oh, anything you want including yourself." Stephen told.DenmarkThe king is getting flustered and worried. Lady Elaine is getting into his nerves. He promised his son that no one will replaced Gia as the Crown Princess. Now that half of the Lords is pushing him to make a final decision in choosing the crown Princess. It will give their country a bad side that Gia had been in movies. She was a celebrity and not a standard for their crown Princess. Elaine should be the one. He is clueless why they are insisting that Elaine should be the crown Princess not the one of the other Royal Ladies. He have to know, he have to.Isabel rushed to his father's office and opens the television. They are now interviewing Lady Elaine if the Prince had asked her to marry him after the engagement is broken between the Prince and the Artist Gia. She said that the Prince hasn't asked her about it and such things she say just to look innocent."That's absurd!" the Queen scoffs. "How can they possibly know that the engagement between Edmond and Vitoria is broken? We didn't even make a statement about it.""Chill mother," Isabel told folding her arms. "I am sure that they are planning on something." Isabel said like a criminal mastermind. The King and Queen looked at her quizzically."So Detective Princess, what's the plan?" the King teased. She had been watching some criminal cases and action movies that Gia had direct and where she is the leading actress."I am planning to spy on them. You see, we have proof that the accident is not an accident three years ago. Someone is trying to kill the Crown Princess." She told them twitching her lips."Enough watching movies, you acted like Sherlock." Her mother told."But she is right, honey." The King told. "We have been investigating it secretly until now." He lowered his voice for them not to hear."I'll go talk to Edmond." She said excusing herself.
