It was the last week of the month and Willow was hiding from Damarion. He said he liked her and it made her happy when it should not have. She will only face heartache with someone from another league as Damarion. He was the Prince for God's sake.
"Hi, I am Eva. Can I order a chicken burger?" Willow recognized her Damarion's sister.
"Sure." She pretended to ignore the fact that Princess was here.
She ran away like a fool when Damarion confessed and couldn't face him again. She can't confess that she liked him as well.
"I totally approve of you btw." She said sitting on the chair in front of the counter.
"Excuse me?" Willow asked with a frown.
"For my brother. I like you." Before Willow could defend herself Eva said, "And I know you lack in many areas and probably sometimes these days my father already made a point of telling you. But that should affect how you two feel about each other."
Willow was not sure this was boosting her morale or not.
"I have no interest in your brother. I am using him for his money." She said sourly to sound convincing.
"And yet you don't own a single expensive or branded item." Eva grinned.
Willow sighed and handed her the burger.
"Here is your order and you can go if you are done torturing me." She said.
"I am here to help," Eva said confidently.
"How is that?"
"I am going to make you worthy of being a Princess."
"Why? Am I not human enough."
"No Willow, you know as well as I do you lack many qualities and you need to be groomed into one. And it is going to require a lot of hard work, trust me."
Willow looked at Eva and her determination.
"You can't refuse since your mother already signed this."
And Eva gave her a contract of how Willow will be given best education and personality development classes for two years. She will be learning music and dance classes, political knowledge and other stuff like foreign languages, fashion and will be trained to be fit.
"If Damarion marries you now which I am sure he will since he finds you perfect in every sense you will face problems at our house. You will feel like an outcast and that will make your life as well Damarion's life unpleasant. I am not asking you to change Willow, my brother fell in love with this Willow. I am just asking you to improve to survive among the sharp princess around Damarion."
Eva made sense and Willow felt tempted to agree to all this.
"What about my band?"
"You can continue doing what you love. I am a fan of your band Willow." She smiled gleefully as she noticed Willow was on verge of agreeing.
"What if he gets married in two years?"
"That you leave to me. I will handle that."
"And what are we telling Damarion," Willow asked seemingly really interested in the idea.
"That is for you and your heart to decide. But for today let's make a mark on royal society." She said and placed an invitation card on the counter.
"What is this?" She asked.
"It's time we met the Prince's in the royal as well and make you desirable."
"How will this help?" Willow asked not sure this was a good idea.
"I know how my mother's mind works if you are suddenly the social butterfly she will put you on her list."
"I hate these things, crowds, and parties," Willow said with an unpleasant tone.
"Yeah, even I do," Eva said with a sympathetic tone.
***
Willow has never worn something this outrageously expensive in her life but Eva was as persistent as Willow. And also because she wanted to do what Eva suggested.
She was walking inside a luxurious five-star hotel with Eva in a floor length white gown with silver bead work. Her hair was styled elegantly into curls that were glossy and bouncy. The makeup did some kind of magic on her as she looked actually like a rich princess for a while.
Her feet ached in the six-inch heel but she managed to walk passed the Royals looking with interest.
Eva was right, almost all the Princes were keen to know who the new girl was.
"I can't breathe Eva, everyone is looking," Willow whispered under her breath.
"Imagine my life, I hate this and I have to live through this. Put up a fake smile and a brave face." Eva advised and Willow developed respect for the girl.
Before she could say another word, she spotted Damarion with some other girl on his arm.
"He is not cheating on you. He was forced by our mother to bring her along."
"I can see that much from his unpleasant expression," Willow said lightly that made Eva chuckle.
"let's see how he will react when he sees you," Eva said, "And don't go thrashing on some poor prince if they flirt."
"I don't do that." Willow defended herself.
Eva raised a brow in an amused expression.
As if Damarion heard what his sister said he looked up and his widened in disbelief. Willow Gibson looked utterly gorgeous. She stood out from all the princess there with her little bolt shaped silver necklace, her kohl-rimmed eyes, and that so typical Willow bored expression.
Damarion left the dangling princess on his arms and walked towards her but before he could step closer another Prince he knew was notorious for his ways with girls.
"Care to dance Princess?" He asked and Damarion felt obvious rage.
"I am not a Princess." She said sharply defensive for some reason.
"But you are beautiful." He said with a smirk.
"Don't waste your breath." She sighed and tried to move past him.
"Leave her Vernon, she is taken," Eva said with a smile of warning.
"By whom?"
"By me." Damarion interrupted taking a hold of Willow's hand.
"What are you doing here?" He whispered.
Eva smiled to herself thinking that her work was done.
"Eva's idea."
"Since when were you best friends with my sister?" He asked with a curious edge.
But Willow just shrugged feeling the butterflies disturbing her focus.
"Can I just be violent this once?" He grumbled to himself surprising Willow.
"Why?"
"They are ogling you shamelessly."
That made Willow smile in earnest.
"Your mother wants a prized trophy as her daughter in law and Eva is just doing that for me," Willow confessed.
"What did you just said?" Damarion looked shocked at her words.
She was doing this for him.
"I am just making a point before I leave." She said closing in gathering all the courage.
"Leave?"
"Unfortunately Damarion I happen to like you too and I am here tolerating the crowd." She confessed.
Damarion was speechless at his luck right then. He watched as she smiled a perfect fake smile to all the people coming an greeting them. He noticed how every boy in the room admired her because it was hard not to.
He knew how anti-social she was and yet Willow Gibson just confessed to something incredible.
"Can I kiss you now?" He asked.
And this time she nodded with an amused smile.

Okay, so I am an introvert and right now I can relate how much effort Willow is putting in.
I hate everything with more than three person xD
Besides that let me know your thoughts. I think princess needs to be social because she has responsibilities, what do you think?
