Chapter 26 - First Petty Fight

"What is it that you wanted to talk about your father?" she asked,

"I probably have said this before but you really need to stay clear from him, he loves me and my mom but...." she responded,

"Don't take his side in front of me Lilith" she said in a cold tone then the princess's eyes widened.

"If he really did love you and your mom her would not be treating you like fucking trash, get that in your head and I am not afraid of your father if I had things my way I would probably kill him in his sleep that wretched man," she said then the princess sighed,

"Don't speak like that if someone hears you there will be trouble, I will not be able to save you, Cosmo, please.... just consider not talking back to my dad he already suspects you" she replied,

"If it is my safety you are worried about then don't be I can more thank protect myself, right now you are the one that needs protecting," she said then the princess sighed,

"Why are you being so stubborn?" she asked then Cosmo's eyes started glowing as she turned away.

'Whatever I am going to have dinner and go to bed" the princess said then walked away and Cosmo frowned.

"You guys okay?" Vivian asked as she walked up to Cosmo,

"Yes we are fine, it's late we should all call it a night" she responded,

"You are right about that, damn I am tired," Vivian said then walked away and Cosmo left.

Cosmo went into the guest room and locked the door.

"Brother" she called out and his image appeared before her.

'Hello sis" he said as he appeared,

"Hi..." she replied then he smiled,

"What's wrong?" he asked,

"It feels like everything is going in the wrong direction, tomorrow is her engagement in public" she responded,

"I see well you cannot do anything about it and if you try then the princess will get mad at you and trust me you do not want that," her brother said,

"I know, I am not going to mess things up than they already are but how am I supposed to look at that?" she asked,

"Be brave like you used to, so not let your emotions get in the way and you did not just call me here to tell me this did you?" he asked,

"No, she considered me a friend so I guess being protective is normal right?" she asked then he laughed,

"You do not want her to see you as a friend but yes being protective is normal" he responded,

"I see because out of nowhere she keeps warning and literally begging me to stay clear of the king and do not talk back to him," she said,

"Cosmo if that is what she wants then obey her because, to be honest, I agree with her and it is for your own good that wretched man is dangerous" he replied then she sighed,

"So what when he gets angry and yells at her again or try to hit her I should just stay out of it?" she asked,

"Yes you probably should the princess knows how to handle a situation calmy unlike you she is not impulsive" he responded,

"You are probably right besides I have to try and stay calm or I will endanger Lilith," she said,

"Cosmo I know you are hurting and I know you are afraid that the princess might fall in love with that guy of someone else but you have to make sure she knows how you feel before all of that, now I have work to do I will see you another time, take care little sister, I love you" she replied then disappeared and tears came to the girl's eyes.

"That is true brother," she said to herself then wiped her tears and walked out of the room then went straight to the dining hall where everyone gathered for dinner.

"Good night your highnesses" Cosmo said,

"You cannot eat with us you are just a servant: the king replied then the girl frowned and was about to walk away but Lilith grabbed her by the wrist and Ash smiled.

"Sit down," Lilith said in a cold tone and Cosmo did as told.

'Lilith" the king said then the girl looked at him with weary eyes.

"Sire no offense but she is Lilith's handmaiden, you should let her be," Ash said then the princess looked at him and smiled,

"Fine," the king said then began eating.

While they were eating Cosmo noticed that not once did the princess look in her direction.

"Eat your food or it will get cold Cosmo," Lilith said then the girl sighed and ate her food.

After they finished eating everyone went to their rooms.

Cosmo went with Lilith to her room and then she sat down on the couch while the princess went to take a bath.

A little while after Lilith finished she came out in her nightdress while her hair was down a wet.

"Your highness," Cosmo said then Lilith looked at her sternly,

"You can go take a bath now," Lilith said and the girl got up immediately then went and took a bath.

When she finished she came out in a pink short nightdress and sat back on the couch.

"Your highness," she said as she looked at the princess who was standing in the balcony and her hair was blowing with the cold wind.

Cosmo swallowed deeply as she got up and went into the balcony with Lilith.

"Is there something that you need Cosmo?" Lilith asked then Cosmo sighed and stood beside her.

Lilith looked at Cosmo as she looked at the bright moon and her eyes sparkled then the princess gasped and smiled.

"I am sorry," Cosmo said then Lilith's eyes widened,

"This is the first time we have ever fought, are things going to always be like this?" Cosmo asked then the princess grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards her then hugged her tightly and Cosmo's eyes widened as her face got pink.
