A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 35 - Fake it Til You Make it
After a week of mostly bliss in the Palazzo, I'm back in a little study hall with Madam Roserta. I guessed the whole vacation also practically threw me in square one because she kept shaking my head every time I stood or walked or sat.At least I still have the cutlery memorized.But that's not even the worst part. Mornings are for Madam Roserta on basic palace and royalty etiquette, and afternoons are for Gonzalo, a famous media reporter who always interviews royal families and nobles of not just Arcadia but the world.He's now sitting in front of me, going through his tablet."Alright, Lady Vivienne, these are possible questions that the media will ask. I want you to take a look at them and really understand each question. Then, I'll ask a few at random. Understood?"I nodded my head. I opened the document he sent me on my tablet and I just stared at the list of questions."They're too many," I whispered, mostly to myself. But Gonzalo heard me."Well, it has been a while since we ha
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 36 - The Valeria Charity Gala
For the past few days, it was the same routine: Madam Roserta in the mornings, lunch, Gonzalo sessions in the afternoon, dress fittings to finish my dress, and awkward dinners with the royal family.According to both Madam Roserta and Gonzalo, I have improved a lot. Gonzalo even said he can see me in interviews and I felt a sense of pride.In fact, I've started to believe my own lies, which is kind of good, but also not really. I just kept reminding myself that this persona is only for the cameras.It's also been raining a lot, so we don't go out for a walk that much.But I do like hanging out in the seating room near the fireplace and reading. Caelum would sit opposite me and do his own thing, and just like in the Palazzo, we would mostly sit in comfortable silence.The day of the Charity Gala is as hectic as the engagement party. It took hours to get me ready, but I didn't complain.For some reason, I have a nagging feeling that something will go wrong. I have been anxious about the
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 37 - Confrontation with a Noble
"I'm surprised! You did a decent job on the interviews, my lady. I think they liked you. Well, maybe not Harrison but he doesn't like anybody except himself," a scratchy voice from a man said as the press were walking away.I looked behind me and saw an overweight old man clearly in a toupee with an attractive young woman by his side. She was pretty, but she kept bowing her head, as if she's trying so hard to disappear into the shadows.Meanwhile, the man wore a general's uniform with dozens of medals pinned on it.Judging by his arrogant stance and condescending tone, he did not earn those medals.I smiled tightly."Ah, pardon my manners. I'm Duke Anton Fontaine of Michestershire. I thought you would have known me, but clearly you didn't take the time to memorize the faces of your soon-to-be family?" He tsked, but held his hand out to me and looked like I should be grateful to be in his presence.I looked at his outstretched hand. I took it ever so slightly and shook it.Then, I stre
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 38 - Skye Goes Viral
There were several things that happened all at once: royal guards were pulling Duke Fontaine from me, there were loud gasps from the audiences, Caelum running towards me, and flashes of bright lights.The latter was the first one to pull me back into my body.Fucking hell. The media is on a rampage, and I will most likely have my face everywhere from newspapers to magazines to news channels both on TV and online.But before I could react, Caelum was beside me, his back from the audience and blocking me from the cameras."Are you okay?" He worriedly asked."Get off me, you scoundrels! I'm assaulted and you hold me?!" The Duke was screaming. He looked at me with such rage. "You filthy peasant!"He tried to lunge at me but the royal guards held him back. Caelum stepped in front of me, holding me back."Get him out of here," Caelum said, his voice low but full of authority.As the royal guards dragged the Duke away, who was still screaming obscenities and lashing out at the guards, I look
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 1 - Skye and Finn
My phone buzzed on the dashboard for the fifth time, so I stopped kissing Finn. "Ignore it," he murmured against my lips, softly brushing them with his own. "You know I can't. I've ignored it long enough," I half-breathed into his mouth. I smiled, gave him one last quick kiss on the lips, and reached out to reach my phone. I opened it with a swipe and checked the messages from co-worker, best friend, and the only person that calls me Skye, Madison. "Madi has been covering my ass for the last ten minutes. You know how things get at work," I told Finn. "Okay, okay," he said, putting both his hands up in the sky. "I can't help it if I want to keep you by my side all day long." "Of course, you can't," I laughed. I grabbed the little bag that contained my lunch from the back seat and hopped out of the car, waving goodbye to Finn. He waved back, blew me a kiss, and told me he'll see me soon before bringing the car to life and driving off. I sighed contentedly and smiled. I have a go
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 2 - The Countdown Begins
I was minding my own business and was burying myself in an old book found at the bookstore when my phone chimed. With a notification. From HarmonyMatch.I groaned, dreading opening the message, but I did anyway. "Miss Vivienne Skye Harper, Congratulations on your eligibility to join the Matching!

A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 3 - Man in the Planetarium
The dinner was uneventful, and I meant that in the worst way possible. Finn and I just had small talk, and when the food came, we just ate in silence. He did ask why I practically just got dessert, but didn't make any comments, so neither did I. We're now driving home, and while we agreed to not go to the planetarium to use the telescope for stargazing, I kind of expected us to do what we usually did: walk around and talk it out. I don't even know if we're fighting because we never really fought before except for some petty arguments over trivial matters that we easily resolved. "Can you park a couple of blocks from my house?" I asked him. "Why?" He asked back. "We really need to talk. This–" I vigorously pointed to the two of us, "–is bothering me so much. Please tell me what's happening." He was silent for a moment, eyes on the road. When he saw an opportunity, he pulled over, killed the engine, and sighed heavily. "I just…" he started. "The Matching," he said, as if it was an
A Royal Romance's Error Chapter 4 - The Matching
"Good God, you look awful sis," Ren scrunched her face as I plopped down on her vanity chair. She volunteered to do my makeup and hair today. I asked her why, and she said I had to at least give my future husband a good impression. I can't argue about that, and so I let her do her magic. I feel even more awful than I probably look, but at least everything will end today. The Matching is in a couple of hours. I just let Ren do whatever she wanted and even let her pick what I should wear. She curled my dark brown hair to give it some volume and settled with a half updo. For my makeup, she went as light as possible but added a little shimmer of gold in my eyelids for some color. For the dress, she picked a classic black sleeved dress and gave me a pair of heeled Mary Janes. I said it was a little too much, but she just brushed it off and told me to get dressed, so I did. I felt a little too dolled up, but I can't help but feel better when I looked in the mirror. "Oh, honey. You loo
