Chapter 1 : The Pope's chamber .
It was a fine afternoon when Venezia and her lady's maid Hannah were hanging around in the Pope's chamber and playfully talking .
"Oh Hannah , people like me aren't meant to find love or be young , it's a privilege that only those who're free can have in this world " Venezia spoke in a soft voice while gracefully laying on the couch and facing Hannah sideways .
Hannah , as always tried to be optimistic and replied " I'd love to deny m'lady . I believe that love is like a dream , if one wishes to aquire , they'd aquire anyhow " . Listening to Hannah's contradictory words irritated Venezia as she felt helpless again . So this time , she decides to reply in a stern ordering voice "I'm thirsty , go fetch me a glass of water" Hannah got alarmed , hearing the lady's tone and replies immediately "yes, m'lady" and rushes to the other room , without making any noice .
To that Venezia turned and stared the glass ceiling , wondering if even her life was so planned out , she should feel satisfied in it but feels a total opposite . Even if people in the Vatican respected her enormously and nobody dared to talk back to her to argue with her , she didn't feel nice . Because at the end of the day this is not what she wanted with her life , but couldn't do much about it .
The room is in eerie silence and Venezia is in her own dreamland when the prince enter the chamber carelessly , without knocking or even thinking to ask anyone's permission . Well , not much of a soul resided there but still the prince walked in , his footsteps felt like they were banging the floor in such a silence but nobody including Hannah , noticed .
Until the prince slowly walked into the inner room where Venezia was lying down . Looking at her , Venezia's simple white crochet gown caught his attention and the prince thought to himself "who is this gorgeous lady lying , she looks so angelic" .
A strange feeling came on Venezia's guts while the prince was staring at her and she slightly looked to her side . She jumped up and sat in horror , still looking at him and her horror immediately turned into rage seeing the intruder.
Still lost in the aura of her beauty , the prince had little idea when she walked and came upto him , but his expression didn't change and he kept staring at her , as if he never saw a women like her . "You , you little thief . You have no manners to even ask before entering into someone's private chambers , how dare you stand here and look at me like that?" She shouted in anger and rage , getting so irritated by his hungry gaze on her .
Well , by Venezia perspective that's how every guy sees a women's body , in hunger !.
The prince got suddenly angry and irritated by hearing the tone of the women he was admiring and thought to himself "well , she definitely is not lovely from inside..."
Hearing to Venezia's voice , Hannah rushes back to the room , balancing a glass of water and spilling some on the way . Looking at the prince she gasps silently and manages to bow down and greet with a glass of water on one hand . Thankfully she suddenly gets reminded of Venezia's harsh tone of voice she heard , she figured that the lady wouldn't know who she is speaking to and immediately introduces them to each other by taking permission . "If I may , lady Venezia I introduce you Prince Mark from the city of milan and Prince Mark , this is lady Venezia , the Pope's daughter from the Vatican City ".
After the introduction Venezia realises her mistake but does not let any emotion of apology on her face . Still she bows down in respect keeping a stone face and stares at the prince for atleast 30 seconds .
The awkward silence in the room killed Hannah , who was just standing there with a glass of water looking down . Then Venezia closely passes by the still standing Prince and walks out in hurry . Hannah , stood there in confusion and bowed to the prince immediately before following the lady .
