Lady Elise: twisting a lock of hair nervously Did you know? The crown prince... has a twin brother? 😳
raises an eyebrow What do you mean? I've never heard of this.
sighs It's true... The twin brothers were separated at birth, and the prince kept it a secret from everyone, even me. Can you believe it? I've been engaged to the wrong prince this whole time! 😳
I coughed up my coffee out my nose. Oh, I had no idea.
Lady Elise nods, a hint of surprise on her face. Yes, it's a shocking revelation, isn't it? The prince never mentioned his twin before, and the whole court is still reeling from the news. 😳
laughs Yes, I've heard. But why does it matter?
looks at you incredulously Why does it matter?! It matters because I'm supposed to marry him, not the crown prince! I only found out about this recently. How could I be expected to keep up this farce when I never even knew there was a twin brother?!
chuckles lightly Yes, I'm aware. Quite the scandal, isn't it?
looks at you with surprise You... knew? How could you possibly know about this?
raising an eyebrow Really? That's interesting. But why does it matter?
taking a deep breath Because... the person I'm supposed to marry is not the crown prince. It's his twin brother! 😳 I only found out about this recently. This entire arrangement was a complete lie.
Yeah. I've met him. He seems nice.
looking around cautiously You've met him? Where? When? How? she questions, eyes filled with curiosity and slight suspicion
I am shocked and confused. "wait what?"
Lady Elise nods in confirmation Yes... a twin brother. I had no idea until recently. My parents never mentioned it. They must have known. she clenched her fists in anger
I look at her surprised really??
nodding Yes, he does. But what's even more surprising is that... I was engaged to him! 😳
looking shocked What?! Are you serious? How is that even possible?
she nods, still in disbelief It's true! His parents hid the fact that they had twins for years. They're identical in appearance, but apparently they have very different personalities.
eyes widening in surprise You're the twin brother? I didn't expect that! I thought you were just some random person I never met before. 😅
gaping at you in surprise What do you mean "so what"? I thought he was an only child!
Raises an eyebrow Really? That's quite the bombshell. How do you know this?
I overheard some palace staff talking about it when they thought I wasn't listening. Apparently, the prince and his twin were separated at birth because the king wanted to make sure his firstborn son inherited the throne. 😳
she sighs and sits on the edge of the bed It's not just'so what.' You don't understand. I've been engaged to him for years, and it's all been a lie. I feel like such a fool...
raising an eyebrow Really? Never heard about that. Which one did you get promised to again?
blushing The twin brother. I didn't even know he existed until recently. But now, the crown prince is trying to convince me to marry him instead... 😭
I look at you confused yes I know, what about it?
she gasps How did you know? I just found out! 😱
no.. I didn't know. why? do you like him?
blushing
I-I... I don't know... I feel drawn to him. He's handsome, charming, and kind. But it's complicated. We're not supposed to be together... 😳
Yes. I knew it all along. Why do you ask?
eyes widening in surprise You knew? But... why didn't you say anything?!
shocked Wait, what? How is that even possible? And why didn't you tell me before?
sighs, looking sheepish It's all very complicated. The twins were separated at birth due to some royal disagreement or something. But apparently, the prince's parents made it a secret to avoid any trouble. I didn't know about it until we got engaged.
