I look at prince Darius in a daze. I forgot about him. It was embarrassing for others to see my crying face.Ragnar gently pushed me into his chest, burrying my face in the process."I would like to extend my gratitude for helping us stop the traitorous general." Ragnar said politely."Don’t mention it." Prince Darius replied. "Such a man deserved to die. It is just a pity he got away with only a quick death. I was sure king George was thinking of other methods that will make his death more painful."I took a peak from Ragnar’s chest. I see the prince of Geneva smiling brightly at us."Umm... thank you, for saving me." I said to him meekly.I would like to express my gratitude to the prince of Geneva face to face, but Ragnar was hugging me tightly on his chest. As if he doesn’t want anyone to see my face."I am happy to be of help. I just extended a helping hand. You are well loved princess Isabella ." Prince Darius said."Isabella and I will take our leave." Ragnar said. "I am sure m
[Isabella’s POV]When I woke up, the sun had just set. I blink my eyes to adjust to darkness in my room. "Erik?" I called soflty but no one answered. It looks like he has not come back yet. ’Maybe he was still talking with my father about some important matters.’ I thought.I stood up and exited my room. Outside the maids are doing their normal routine for the evening. "Princess." Maggie was walking towards me. "You are awake." "Yes." I nodded. "How long was I asleep?" I asked. "Not very long princess. An hour at least." Maggie replied. "Oh." I reacted. So I wasn’t asleep that long. But the nap did some good, I feel refreshed. "Dinner is being prepared. It will take about an hour." Maggie said. "Prince Ragnar said that he will be accompanying you for dinner so I have prepared the usual dishes he likes." "Thanks Maggie, you’re the best." I smiled whole heartedly.Maggie has been with me for quite some time now. I treat her as a big sister rather than my personal maid. She knows
After I have helped William bandaged his wounds, there was a knock on the door. ’Knock knock’ "Princess, dinner is ready." Maggie’s voice was heard from the other side. "Okay, thanks." I replied. "You go and eat. I can manage to put medicine on my other wounds." Philips smiled. "Hmm, okay." I nodded in agreement. I stood up and walked towards the door. When I opened it, Maggie was standing in front. I gently closed the door behind me "Maggie, get Phil’s dinner and serve it to him here in his room. I am afraid that if he moves that much, his wounds would bleed again." I ordered. "I understand." Maggie bowed her head. "Oh princess, prince Ragnar has arrived a while ago. He is waiting for you in the dining room." "Erik is here?" I smiled brightly and trotted towards the dining room. "The prince looked for you so I said that you have tended sir Phillip’s wounds." Maggie said while I was walking hastily.I wasn’t able to hear Maggie’s words because I was excited to see Ragnar .
[Ragnar’s POV]I have finished eating and heaved a silent sigh to myself. I looked at Isabella who had her head bowed down. "I will be taking my leave now." I said with such coldness. I can’t help myself from feeling this way, with jealousy. "Erik, d-did I do something wrong?" Isabella asked with worried eyes towards me.My heart skipped a beat with her beautiful face and pleading eyes. I want to hug her tightly. I want to bite her soft lips and lavish her whole body with kisses, an adequate punishment for her mistake. I want to bury myself inside her and possess her, making all of her mine. Others would know that she is mine and would never try to come near her again. ’This is not good.’ I thought to myself. Because of my jealousy, I am thinking of bad things. I don’t want her to hate me. ’I need to get some fresh air and calm down.’ I thought.I looked at Isabella with a serious and cold gaze. "I will give you time to think of what you have done and reflect on it." ’And I need t
[Ragnar’s POV continues] Isabella hurriedly sat up from bed when she heard my voice. "Erik , I’m sorry. Please forgive me." I heard Isabella’s pleading voice. "I didn’t mean to make you angry. I didn’t think first before I made my actions."Tears started to stream from my princess’ eyes. I wipe those tears away gently with my fingers. "You know what you did wrong?" I asked in a gentle voice. My jealousy has subsided by now and I don’t want Isabella to cry anymore than this. "It’s because I was alone with Phil in his room." Isabella replied. "I know that it isn’t an excuse for being ignorant. I should have thought of your feelings more. I know I have hurt you when I tended Phil’s wounds in his room alone. As your fiancee, it is wrong for me to be with a man alone. Your reputation may also be tarnished because of this."Isabella was sobbing. My little princess is hurt because of me. My heart aches while looking at her tears. "Hush now." I comforted her. "I do not care about my repu
My eyes went wide with surprise. My body went stiff with the shock I got from Isabella’s words. "Isa, do you know what you have just said?" I asked in disbelief. Isa nodded shyly. "I would want to be one with you as well." Her cheeks were tinted red with her blush. After her sentence, my last defenses were broken down and torned apart. My will power crumbled in an instant and lust filled my senses once more. "Oh Isa, I hope you are prepared with what you had just said." My voice came out hoarse. Isabella nodded shyly. I see her lips parted slightly and that made the fire inside me burn more intensely with desire. She was ready to receive me. In no time I captured Isa’s soft and sweet lips. I tasted them in my mouth. The kiss was not enough to satisfy my cravings and I gently parted her lips with my tongue, slipping in and tasting the insides of her mouth. I found her tongue and played with them, hooking it with my own. "Ahmmm..." I hear Isabella’s sweet moan. It was just l
[Isabella’s POV] I can feel something enveloping my body and it made me feel a little hot. I slowly open my sleepy eyes. The room was dimly lit with the early morning rays from the sun. When my eyes started to adjust to the light, I realized that this room wasn’t mine. ’Where am I? What happened last night?’ I thought in panic. Then I remembered the events from yesterday. Ragnar and I had a misunderstanding and he was angry with me because of it. Because I didn’t want to end the day with us not making up, I decided to go look for him. Along the way, I see Snow. She helped me sneak past the guards and lead the way to Ragnar’s living quarters. When we arrived, the room was empty. Ragnar hasn’t come back yet. ’You wait here for your prince charming.’ I remember Snow said. ’Have fun.’ I was confused with Snow’s words at first. But when my eyes swept towards the big bed, then I realized what ’Have fun’ meant. My cheeks started to heat up. After Snow left, I sat down on the
Ragnar accompanied me back to my own courtyard after breakfast. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I felt all the people we passed by were looking at us. Ragnar was holding my hand along the way with a huge grin on his face. "With this, everyone would know that you belong to me." Ragnar chuckled. ’So this was his intention all along.’ I thought. I don’t mind letting him brag that I am his because in this lifetime, he is the only one I intend to love until my last breath. But the gaze the people are giving at us now made me feel shy. I can hear some of the maids chat when we pass by. "The prince and princess look so good with each other." "I know right. The prince clearly loves our princess." "Did you know that the princess spend last night in prince Ragnar’s residence?" "Really?" "Do you think they have went the extra mile in their relationship?" "I don’t mind if they did. They are engaged to be married after all." "The prince looks like a hot blooded young man. With
