Miscommunication
"My lady you look amazing tonight!" Lord Felix exclaimed as he escorted Trix into Senator Julian's villa.
Trix blushed and smiled. She was nervous. It would be the first time she would see Hector since she learned of his budding romance with the Lady Marcella. Today was his birthday and she had prepared a gift for him. Also in the care of her maids was a gift in case the engagement between Hector and Marcella was announced. Picking out the gift was heartbreaking to her.
"Are you well princess?" Lord Felix asked.
"Yes, I am just tired from my lessons. It would be much easier if Hector was around to assist me." She responded half heartedly.
"Come, princess the senator has prepared a place of honor for you." Lord Felix then led her to a

Trix felt all the guests in the room turn towards her direction. She had spoken too loud and reacted too severely. She appreciated Felix's attention but hearing from Hector's own lips that he assumed they were in a relationship hurt her more than she believed humanly possible."My lady, are you alright? Is something the matter?" Lord Felix said trying to comfort her as if she was a spoiled princess."I am fine Felix." She said to him. Then she looked to the crowd. Their eyes were filled not with concern but with ambition. Many of them sought good favor with her father. The rest simply wanted to be done with him. How many times in the past few weeks had she questioned the intentions of the people around her? How many only saw her as an opportunity and how many truly saw her as a friend? It was only Hector that had stuck with her through thick or thin. He was her friend when she was just some orphan in a small town. But he had changed, Rome had changed him."I lea

Trix woke up less than a minute later. A crowd had gathered around her and she found herself in Felix's arms. She had never fainted in her entire life. Yes she had been knocked unconscious when she was kidnapped but this was different."Princess, are you alright?" A man called out."Yes. I simply lack rest. I will be fine." Trix tried to get up but Felix stopped her. She could see the concern in his eyes."Maybe I should take you home Trix." Felix said with a frown on his face."I'll be fine. Please take me to Lord Hector so I might congratulate him and his future wife.""I am here Trix. Please don't tire yourself." She looked to her right and there was Hector holding bottles of cure

She layed in bed remembering in her mind the dances she shared with Lord Felix, their late night stroll, and even how he had opened up to her that night. She was happy he was there. She would have felt alone and had would have done something irrational.Trix knew that she would have to face the reality of last night's events, but she lay on her bed trying to delay it. Soon Fausta and Cassia came into her chambers to wake her. The two maids were whispering and giggling as they entered her chambers. She could hear the mention of Felix's name and hers."I am up. There is no need to wake me." Trix called out from her bed."We

To commemorate this occasion the emperor has commissioned that a week of celebration be held. Feasts and Fights in honor of his daughters engagement." The crowd cheered.

Heiress of Rome Awkward Conversations
The night was a blur to Trix. She knew that music was played, that food was served, and gifts given. The only part of the night that stuck to her was the one dance she shared with Hector and the moment he had handed her over to Felix. This is not what she wanted, to be around someone you love but not be able to love him. It hurt her.As her engagement to Felix was to be celebrated in the following days she knew she had to put on a mask of false joy. She knew that any woman would be happy to be engaged to Felix. He was kind, intelligent, rich, he was perfect. But despite his perfection Trix could not find it in herself to love him. Was this the price she had to pay for being with her family? Or was it just some cruel twist of faith that had led her to be in this situation at that particular moment?"Trix are you listening to me?" S

"So a secret cult of Roman senators who are calling themselves the Society of the Eagle were behind your abduction and poisoning. To add to that you believe that Lord Felix is one of them. Do you have any idea how absurd that sounds Trix?" Hector questioned her. They had agreed to meet in her chambers after the matches at the arena."Don't look at me as if I'm crazy Hector. I actually heard them." Trix said."Do you have any idea who they are?" Hector sighed."That's why we are going to my father's library to look them up. Also I've asked some of the guards go look into it." Trix said gleefully."Are you trying to build your own spy network?" Hector teased."Well I will eventually ne

She had to do it for her people, but how can she marry him when the man she truly loved stood right in front of her?"Trix why did you agree to marry him if you did not want to?" Hector asked."Because if I do not my father will be forced to find another heir. It will most probably be that little boy, oh I can't even remember his name." She continued to sob."Trix I'm sure there are many other men out there who you might like more than Lord Felix. Why marry him?" Hector asked.Trix bit her lip. Should she tell him? She loved only one man. She wanted to marry only one man."Hector, I love someone else." She managed to say.
