**Nathaniel**
"You fool!" My father screamed at me before he punched me in the face with a force that sent me to the ground." How dare you break off your engagement! Do you know what that will do to our reputation!?"
I grunted and pulled myself up as I faced my father. "I....don't love Camille!!"
My father glowered at me. "And yet you love that.....that girl!?" The way he said it was so insulting that I want to grab him by his neck then and there.
"That girl's name is Kascada, father. And I love her."
He narrowed his gaze at me and I could feel that he's going to strike again. "YOU INGRATE!!!" I was ready for the blow that was about to come when Adam stopped him.
Once Nate finished his story, I felt that all of his tension eased up. I was ducking my head and wiping tears from my eyes. I couldn't let him see that I was crying so I pretended to sleep.Nate chuckled and tucked a stray hair behind my ear. "Thank you for being a good listener." He whispered and I felt him carrying me to a bed and covered me with a blanket."Goodnight, princess." He said and suddenly, lights dimmed.I opened one of my eyes and saw Nate heading for the couch and used his cape as a blanket. I suddenly felt bad for taking his bed from him. He needs it more than me.But after his story, I just couldn't say something to him. I mean what would I say? What happened to him wasn't a normal situation in my world. I covered myself with the blanket and thought of
I woke up in the middle of the night. It was our second night sleeping out in the woods ever since we left the kingdom of Vertez and I'm still not getting used to the loud snoring of the twins. Like seriously, can't they sleep peacefully?It's bad enough that they are loud when they are awake and now I can't get any proper sleep!!I sat up and glared at the twins through the fire before looking bitterly at Nate, who doesn't seem to mind the noise and was sleeping peacefully. Well if you count sleeping like a model who was pursing his lips and smiling creepily. I'd say he was having a good dream.I was getting tired from being deprived of my entry to dreamland that I picked up a stick and was thinking of hurling it at the twins when I heard someone cough. I looked to my other side and saw PRINCE Ace sitting on the gr
The ride took about 30 minutes based on my estimation. Although I am not quite sure since it might have taken longer than that. We travelled in silence, or at least everyone except the twins who kept talking about random stuff that I didn't bother to be interested in.The forest was getting thinner and I was starting to see a path that led to a clear landscape."Just a little longer." Said Dan. "We just need to pass this neighborhood."Neighborhood?I looked up ahead to see that there were broken buildings up ahead that looked like it was burned or something. Piles of rubble scattered everywhere and just to my far left is a tall broken down building that looks suspiciously like a castle.I noticed that the prince's e
I reached out and steadied him. "Nate? Nate! What happened?!" I asked worried as I held him close. I placed my ear to his chest and tried to listen to his pulse. It was still steady and strong."I-I-" He broke off."What is it, Nate?" I urged him to continue as I feared for his life. He reeks of blood and I kept thinking where his wounds could be. Nate started to mumble something that I could hear. "What?" I asked. My voice almost broke.I heard him taking in a deep breath. "I said you smell so good. Can't we stay like this forever?"It took me a while to process things, but finally I got to my senses. I kicked him at the groin making him lose his grip on me before I slammed the door to his face and glared at it.That bastard
Honestly, I'm going to kill these twins one day. I thought as we walked towards the dining table with the twins on either side of me. There was a very red hand print on either side of their faces from where I slapped him. As we walked, they kept apologizing to me but I just ignored them."We're sorry, Rose. Promise we won't do it again." Said Ren."Yeah. And if you like, I'll slap my brother for you." Dan offered which earned a glare from his brother.Despite their continued apology, I ignored them even until we reached the dining hall. Once we got there, I greeted the king and queen and apologized for my tardiness. Nate and Ace were already there.The king looked up, took a glance at his son before we laughed. "I suppose my sons did something to deserve it?"
"I'm sorry, Princess Rose.""Sorry, Rose."The king and Dan apologized to me the next day. We were outside of the castle and ready to leave when Ren decided to burst out and scolded both his father and brother for locking us up in a room.It turns out no one knew about it until now. The queen and Nate were shocked while Ace seemed expressionless as always.The queen seemed furious at her husband and son that she asked them to apologize to us - she even pinched their ears when they refused."What about me?" Asked Ren when he realized that the king and Dan were only apologizing to me. The king and Dan only looked at Ren with a blanked face."Oh,
I am not that worried about what would happen with me getting lost in his town, but more of what Ace would do to me when they find me. That demon. Surely he notices my sudden disappearance by now and is planning on tying me to his horse and dragging me away."Crap crap crap!" I muttered while biting my nails nervously.I was so engrossed in my future demise that I almost forgot the girl in front of me if she did not grab my wrist with an urgent look on her face. "Miss, you really must come with me."I looked at her as if she had grown another head. "Sorry." I gave her a small smile as I tried to pull my hand back but her grip was too strong. "No offense but I don't know who you are and what you're gonna do to me after I go with you. My mother told me specifically not to talk to strangers."
His voice....his voice sounded so foreign in my ears. It was hard and threatening and I could not understand the feeling that I am having right now; fear or relief?When the man didn't make a move in releasing me, Fred's face hardened and, using his other hand, placed it on top of the man's wrist. I heard him mumble a few words and a second later, the man was screaming in pain and I was freed from his grip.I saw smoke coming from the area where Fred had touched him. My eyes widened when I saw the burned mark on his wrist. The skin on his wrist was red and I could see a few areas spotted in black. It was a sickening sight.Fred must have seen the look of horror on my face because he immediately drew me towards him and shielding me from the sight. He started rubbing my back to calm me down as I gripped on his shirt t
