Chapter 5

The next morning was dull and gray. The sky looked like it was about to burst into thunderstorms at any moment. Ana looked out at the dull, lead sky and sighed. “I’m not going to be stuck inside this hotel all day long,” she said out loud.

Pulling on a pair of slacks and comfortable shoes, Ana made the decision that she was going to visit some museums today. If she could do it with her body guards, that would be fine. Otherwise, she would sneak out and do it on her own. In fact, she preferred to do it on her own.

Max was taking his last sip of coffee when she sat down at the table. “What was so funny last night?” he asked.

“You,” Ana said and smiled up at his stern expression.

“You were laughing at me?” he demanded.

“Not really at the current you. But at the idea of you changing a diaper on a baby,” she said.

Max looked confused. “Why on earth would I change a diaper?” he asked, not really sure why that would be funny.

Ana smiled at her tall, handsome and extremely arrogant older brother. “Exactly why we thought the idea was funny.”

Max’s features didn’t change but he shook his head and walked away, obviously confused by his sisters’ reactions to simple inquiries. “I’ll see you at dinner tonight,” he called out, kissing their mother as he passed.

The queen sat down at the table and poured herself a cup of tea. “What was that all about?” she asked.

“Just Max being his normal, autocratic and male self,” Ana smiled.

Natasha smiled as well. “He is very domineering at times, isn’t he?”

“I can’t imagine where he gets it from,” Ana said sarcastically.

Both of them laughed. “What is on your schedule today?” her mother asked.

“I’m going sightseeing,” Ana said decisively.

“That’s nice. Is Prince Erik taking you? I didn’t see his name on the schedule today. Perhaps he’s thinking to spend some time with you. That will be good for both of you. We aren’t scheduled to see him officially until later this week but it will be good for the two of you to get together with some quiet time.”

A servant appeared at the door and bowed, interrupting their conversation. “You’re highness, I’m sorry to interrupt your breakfast, but there’s an urgent call from downstairs,” the waiter said, bowing again as he relayed his message.

“Oh, dear,” the queen said and rose gracefully from the table. “I wonder what could possibly go wrong today,” she said. “Have a nice day today and please tell me all about it tonight. I’m eager to hear about your impressions of Prince Erik and his attitude toward you. For some reason, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by each other,” she said with a mysterious smile on her face as she hurried out of the room to deal with the latest crisis.

Ana didn’t have a chance to tell her mother that she wasn’t seeing the arrogant prince today. In fact, she hadn’t heard from him at all which should have eased her guilt at her lie of omission, but it didn’t.
