Vicky got up immediately he sensed that Stacy have left the room, went to his box where he hid the original ring; and hid it further away. He smiled as how smart Stacy thought she can be; to ally with a cook that have stayed in the royal family for long and she thinks she will just go on with the plan.

He asked the royal black smith to mold a fake ring that looks exactly like the real ring after the cook relayed what happened between her and Stacy, he knew that she must have found out about the missing ring. They swaped the food and she lied to Stacy that he is sleeping.

He sighed happily that at least he is one step ahead of her, allow her to think she has the upper hand until he find his missing throb . He laid down properly to sleep after ordering the guards never to allow anyone inside his room, as for the loyal cook, he will surely reward her.

Lydia dressed her daughter proud and happy, telling her the does and don’ts

“and smile always in case any picture of you is taken unawares, you will still look beautiful”

Lydia(n) muffled a laugh and just nod, Lydia ignored the laugh and continued styling her hair

“I am done” Lydia said and pats her shoulder
Lydia(n) smiled “thank you very much mother; you are the best”

“awwnnnnnm you are making me blush” her mother replied before her eyes flashed to the fascinator she kept on the bed. She rushed and picked it up to put on her daughters head but she dodged it immediately

“Mom, it’s just my graduation; I don’t need them Lydia(n) said in protest

“Oh okay” Lydia simply said in realization she was getting her daughter overdressed.

She pats her back “don’t mind your mother, I just wanted to make you the most beautiful girl in the graduation hall’’

Lydia(n) hugged her mother to avoid her misunderstanding her ‘’I know mom, but anybody that looks like you doesn’t  need all that to be beautiful”

Lydia looked surprised at her daughter’’ Are you saying your mother is beautiful’’

Lydia(n) rolled her eyes “you bet mom, I have to go now; I need to be at the beginning of the ceremony” she said in a hurry, grabbed her things and left but rushed back, pecked her mom

“Love you mah’’

“Love you too baby girl, stay where we can locate you; your aunties are coming so that we can snap pictures”

“I will Mah; byee”

Lydia heaved a sigh and eased herself on the nearby cushion “her baby girl is all grown up and in no time she cannot control her anymore” the thoughts saddened her and she sighed the more

Her vibrating phone snapped her out of her thoughts; she picked the call and pressed the phone to her ear

“Hey girl, have you left already”

“No I am still waiting for you guys”

“Then come and open the door, we have been pressing the bell for ages”

Lydia sat up immediately and walked to the door; she shouted happily as she saw her friends and their grown up kids

They exchanged pleasantries and walked into the house, Lydia left immediately to start preparing; she smiled and thanked God for giving her supportive friends.

She picked her phone and sent her mom a reminding message

************
Lydia(x) sat apprehensively looking around; she checked her phone expecting a call from her Dad

. The busy activities going on around her never enhanced her mood, the happy cheers and decorations.

She was not happy; she removed the graduation gown, folded it and put it inside the bag.

There is no need for her to wear the gown when the most important person to her refused showing up to her graduation. She clicked on her phone and scrolled down, she pressed the phone to her ear.

“Dad” she said immediately the call connected

“Princess I am sorry” Vicky said quietly cus he knows why she called. They had a heated argument last night, they both tried to convince each other why they wouldn’t yield to their request

“Dad, so you are really not coming” Lydia(x) said sadly hoping her change in tone would affect him

“Princess, just forgive your Dad; I wish I can make it but there are situations here that I need to take care of” he said half pleading

“Something to take care of that you couldn’t come to my graduation, I feel lonely here; why call me princess when you know you couldn’t sacrifice for me, I need you”

Vicky shoulders dropped, things got complicated and him stepping an inch out of where he was would change a lot of things “but princess, you have your friends there, stay and enjoy with them”

“I am not your princess” Lydia(x) said vehemently and disconnected the call

“Princess……. Princess wait” Vicky shouts but Lydia(x) have disconnected the call
Instead of getting angry, he smiled at the tantrums Lydia(x) plays whenever she needs to get his attention but not today he needs to find out more things

Lydia(x) stared angrily at her phone; she blinked back the tears threatening to fall out any moment. She hates crying in front of the people; she looked around and everybody was busy snapping with their family and loved ones and here she is for the first time felt dejected. She never blamed Vicky but blamed the mother who gave birth to her and abandoned her
