[color=red]"Well, it looks like you are not to be crowned king after all,"[/color] Hye Jin's voice dripped with disdain. [color=red]"But I have not lost hope of becoming queen. I will only need to convince Adrian to take me back. A marriage to me will still be useful to him and to WhiteHaven."[/color]

Adam looked distracted as he tried to figure out how much Adrian knew... if he really did. He looked at Hye Jin at the mention of her convincing the crown prince to take her back. He smirked at her. [color=aquamarine]"You are only fooling yourself. You are mine and we will be married in two weeks. Adrian will never take you back."[/color]

Hye Jin laughed sarcastically. [color=red]"Why would I want to stay by your side. You are not the heir to the throne."[/color] Her smile turned sly. [color=red]"And you underestimate my capabilities. By the time the sun rises tomorrow, I shall be back on Adrian's arm."[/color] She turned away and left the room, leaving Adam staring after her.

The foreign princess' mind reeled with both anger and irritation. She stood outside the door of the room she had just exited and took a deep breath to calm herself. As soon as she had her wits about her, she headed towards Adrian's room.
