[In media: Alexander]

I am bored. I preferred to join my table directly so that I am quiet. No girl bothers me to try to appease me or anything. What is true. All the interest that these girls have in me comes only from the fact that I am a prince or that they like me physically.

I am not pretentious. Far from there. I'm big on principles so I couldn't cross any of them.

I'm so into my phone that I don't even notice a person sitting in front of me. It is because I hear a small noise that I raise my head towards this person.

Oh.

A super sexy brunette smiles at me. I hope it's not yet a minx who comes to me to type the discussion for a very specific purpose!

I'm dumb. She looks shy and impressed, staring at the paper in front of her. I understand then!

"Um... Good evening?" She launches timidly.

Maybe she's my brother's famous super sexy brunette. Honestly, I hope not. She's too cute to end up with my brother. My comment is so selfish!

" Hi ! Are you Scarlet? I ask, frowning.

"Um...no, I'm her best friend, Alyssa." »

“Delighted, Alexander. I hold out my hand to her.

I feel her freeze at my touch and I can't help but be overcome with emotions.

“I've heard a lot about your best friend. Imagine that she made my brother's head spin! »

She raises her eyebrows and seems happy with what I just told her.

“Your brother spun his. »

" It's true ? »

She confirms the answer and grabs her glass to take a sip. I start talking with her. It's natural, without fuss. She is a natural girl who does not show manners. It's been a long time since I've talked to someone like her and it feels good!

After a long moment of discussion, a small presence advances slowly towards us. I watch Alyssa give him a lovely smile.

“The famous Scarlett! I throw at him.

I get up and kiss her on the cheeks.

“Nice to finally meet you! »

" Me too. »

She turns to Alyssa and points to her name on the table.

"So we're at this table?" »

She looks surprised and Alyssa nods her head to confirm it and then sits down next to me. I pick up where we left off with Alyssa and include Scarlett.

“I see you have already met. a familiar voice calls out.

At the same time, the three of us look up at Andrew who has just arrived without us realizing it. He doesn't even calculate me and prefers to look at his pretty brunette.

“I don't even need to introduce myself, brother, I got to know these lovely ladies. »

I look at Alyssa, who looks down, blushing. It's nice this way of blushing in the face of compliments. I think she's not used to being in front of men because she's very shy.

“Hey, but I'm thinking about it! Scarlett exclaims. “Is it true that you have a mad passion for photography? »

I nod my head and confirm my studies in the world of photography.

Alyssa looks sad and lost in her memories. My heart tightens. I don't like to see people sad, it's awful.

“Alyssa has the same! Scarlett shouts.

" I stopped. she replies.

" Why ? I ask curiously.

"I couldn't afford to continue..." she admits, embarrassed.

What a pity ! I only think of myself in my life. I never imagined that one day I could stop doing something that I don't like because I'm a millionaire. I never thought of those people who are forced to quit their strongest passion because they don't have enough money to pursue it.

I find that awful. It hurts my heart for Alyssa who looks so fragile.

“You could drop by our workshop to see what happens, I invite you! »

“That's very nice, Alexander, but I can't afford to go to photography school. »

I frown and tilt my head. I don't understand why she has this reaction. It must surely be something intimate for her to refuse without giving an explanation.

I so want to do well. Even if I don't know her, I would like to help her. It's in my nature to help others and I decided that I was going to help Alyssa, whether she liked it or not.

It's finally time to eat. Andrew sits down with us and talks to the two other people who are at the table with us, two cousins ​​of ours whom I hate.

Scarlett is a little lonely since Andrew talks to the cousins. Me, I talk with Alyssa and get to know her better even if it's more me who tells her about my life.

Attention, I tell him my life but never boast. It's not my type anyway.

Right in the middle of the meal and while the girls have slipped away to the toilets, my brother calls me.

"What is it, Andrew?" »

“I'm going to have to open the ball and I decided to do it with cousin Maxima. »

" Are you serious ? Are you thinking about Scarlett? »

“Of course I do, brother! I do it for her. If I dance with Scarlett, you can be sure she'll be at the top of the magazine tomorrow morning and I don't want that to happen so I'm going to dance with Maxima. »

I sigh.

" Do what you want. »

He doesn't have my blessing. I think it will create a story between Scarlett and him because she is attached to him, casually. I know he wants to protect her, but if their relationship goes further, he won't be able to prevent the media from taking over their story. This is how !

There might already be articles about the girls just because they dined at our table so... I'm a little afraid for them. They are normal and pure girls, it would be horrible if they turned out otherwise.

Still, I'm determined to see Alyssa again after this meal. I think the current went pretty well between the two of us. I just hope it's not just a one-off impression because I'm going to end up being a real jerk.

“Prince Andrew is going to get the ball rolling. a voice calls out over a loudspeaker.

He shoots me an apologetic look but it's not me he's going to have to apologize to. Scarlett and Alyssa are going to show up any minute and see Andrew dancing with a girl. I know she's our cousin. Half the room knows it too. But the girls don't know that.

Maxima is ready to dance with my brother, it looks like she's been waiting for this from the start. I hope she knows she's our cousin and my brother won't ask her to marry him...

Andrew gets up slowly and walks around the table to get Maxima. The latter grabbed his hand which he holds out and rises in turn, following him to the middle of the empty floor.

The music starts as he pulls her close. I watch them dance softly against each other.

If I didn't know it was our cousin, I would have thought they were a couple as they are so tight against each other!

Slowly, they turn on themselves and my brother's body freezes when his gaze rises. I follow his gaze and fall on Scarlett, her mouth open and her head broken.

Shit...
