He lifted her chin up with his cold eyes looking into her eyes as if he wanted to bore a hole through her soul.
"Why are you running, Miss Higgins? " He said with a wicked grin on his face with his eyes now fixed on her lips as he brought her face closer to his. Derick addressing her as miss Higgins is a way remaining her that she wasn't his wife at least to him.
"Don't worry there was nothing there to see" he whispered to her ears and dashes out of the room.
Derick had headed to Opera to see his love. He planned on given her a surprise visit, he would talk to her after the end of the show. He didn't tell her he was coming because he was sure she would be angry at him and if she had little knowledge he was coming to meet her at the Opera she would not come to the Opera that day. He understood her, If he was in her position he would also do the same thing.
As he headed to the Opera he remembered the first day he actually met Maria she was in a red gown with her black silky hair tied in form of a ponytail. He had remembered how beautifully she sang, which had made him fall in love with her instantly. Her voice to him can be compared to that of an angle. The Maria he was going to be seeing is not the angelic Maria but angry Maria.
The Opera show had finally come to an end. He had gone to meet her afterwards
"What are you doing here, your majesty?" she said sounding formal as her eyes gathered tears looking straight into Derick's eyes she had felt betrayed by his majesty, Derick who was supposed to be her lover.
"Maria" he said lifting his hands to touch her face
Maria shifted back "Shouldn't you be with the queen" Maria said with a little bow
"Maria don't be like that you are my only queen, you know"
Maria blushed a little
"You know I love you, Maria" Derick said.
"I know that you do. But will I always be your mistress? Why not your queen to sit right next to you and it is not like I am permitted to love another. can I?"
"No you can't you are mine and mine alone" said Derick with anger in his eyes
"So you would have to do something quickly if you don't want to lose me to another" she said gently stroking his brown hair
"I have a plan already"
"Is that true, your majesty?" she asked with a smile
"Yes"
Maria gave Derick a kiss that wasn't too short neither was it long.
"That is what you get for now" she said in a seductive manner
Which made Derick heart to race.
"You sang beautifully today" he said while gently holding her hand
"Thanks your majesty" she said blushing a little while swinging their hands
They talked a little bit longer now sitted with her head on his shoulder.
"It high time I left" he said raising Maria's head off his soulder with one hand while holding her hand with the other.
He gently stood up and dusted his cloth
Maria looked at Derick and smiled she got up and adjusted his cloth a little
"When would I see you again?" he asked
"Depends on when his majesty request to see me" she simply replied
Derick gave her a smile while cupping her face. He hugged her with his hands on her waist
"Your majesty" she said breaking the hug
"Did you bring anything for me today?"
"Maria"
"My majesty" she said using her bossoms to touch chest
Derick swallowed a little siliva
"I did"
"Goody" she said jumping up like a little child who had just received a present
"But first a kiss"
She simply complied and streched her hands to him. He gave her a bag as she opened it, it was a beautiful necklace
"Derick, is it just this?"
Maria calls Derick by his name when she feels angry or upset especially when it comes to gifts
"Maria" he called out
"I know right now back in the palace Alexa would be wearing something more expensive " she said while sobbing "Don't you love me any more?"
"I love you and you know that, okay I am sorry, okay?" He said while giving her a hug
She just stayed in his arm ignoring his question while crying
"Okay I will send you more through George" okay?
She smiled in his arm he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead
"I am off" he said as he walked out
*********At the same time back at the placeAlexa had asked her newly appointed personal assistant,Chloe to take her to a tour round the palace.
Alexa had seen many places she didn't know would exist in the palace and she now seemed to understand the palace a little more. Then she came across this beautiful Garden.
"Wow"
"This is evergreen ""It is beautiful. Can we go for a stroll?"
"Yes, Your highness"
As she took a stroll looking at the beautful flower both the ones she can recognized and couldn't.
"Your highness,your highness his majesty, prince Derick is looking for you , he asked that you see him immediately" A man said barely barely holding on to his breath.
Alexa headed to their room wondering what the prince had on his mind that he asked her to see him immediately. As she approaches the door, she swallows some saliva and adjusts her dress and body language to look confident and fearless. She walks towards him and he receives her with a bright smile. "What have you been doing, my dear? ", he asks reaching for her hand. She tries to break free from his strong grip and he responds to her action with a hard, cold glare making her stay still. He closes the distance between them, bending so his mouth would be at her ear level and whispers "Remember our deal", blowing air in her ear and standing upright again with a toothy grin. She now looked at him with a weak smile on her face and did a little curtsey. "We are heading out to meet my parents now. Get your act together" "Ok, your Majesty" "You mean Derick" "I am sorry, your maje... I mean, Derick" Alexa could now see the throne room and began to worry. What if she couldn't put up a
She took to her heels with her shoes in her hands, running as fast as she could with the moon serving as her source of light. She had been running for hours now with no clear destination. Her feet sore from running with her bare feet. She ran with no one in pursuit of her. She looked back over her shoulder a number of times, running and panting vigorously. Alexa had taken her bags and run away from home in the middle of the night. She was sure that her parents would find her room empty by morning and an order would be placed that she be founded immediately even if it would involve them tearing the kingdom into two.The moon shone brightly that night. The ever watchful owl was hooting. The gentle, cool night breeze blowing. Alexa was soaked from head to toe in sweat. She wiped the beads of sweat that had formed on her forehead. Alexa was sure that the news she had run away from home was now known by everyone back home.  
It was finally morning Alexa had woken up with swollen eyes caused from crying through out the night.That morning memories of the previous night of the her failed attempt of escaping flashed through her head, Alexa instantly broke out in tears. She realized she was back to her father's house. Alexa now viewed her father's mansion know for happiness as her very own Prison.She had finally gotten up from her bed with her leg still trembling from her attempt of escaping, her feets still very much sored. She was limping a little due to the sores.The sun seemed to be shinnig brightly this morning but non of this seemed to matter to Alexa in her eyes everywhere was just dark and scary. Scary was for the fact that she would be getting married tommorow.Alexa had gotten up to eat since she could not escape the least she could do right now was to stuff her stomach with food trying to fill her empty but wearing heart.(Alexa was a stress eater).That morning Alexa mother, Margaret had gone t

Sothing music and happiness had filled the atmosphere of the palace, people from all corner had come on their beautiful carriages to join the families to celebrate a joyful day, the joining of royal family and Stephen's family. Hence the palace was full with respected people; Kings, queen, prince, princess the richest people of the kingdom, the influential people of their kingdom. Some kingdoms sent representatives who had come there to pay respect. The street was full with the people of cleaves.Alexa had been escorted with her bride train which included her best friend Vivan. The bride's train had wore a beautiful lacy black gown. Every where was filled with people all chatting and drinking.Alexa had looked in the mirror and saw how beautiful they had made her. The red off shoulder gown with a beautiful brown pattern at the shoulder. The red color that had been chosen as the color of her g
Alexa laid on the bed with her eyes still shot tight and her sweaty, trembling right hand barely holding the gun. The steps drew near she could now feel the warmth of a person. The prince; Derick had just reached to the bed and took his sleep mask went back to the couch and slept off. ******** It was morning Alexa had opened her eyes with a bright smile. Alexa seemed to have sleep well that night maybe the bed was quite soft. As she opened her eyes she saw Derick jotting her back to reality. "You seemed to have had a nice sleep" with a smirk by the side of his face as he leaned on the pole of their bed. Alexa was shocked as she now realized she wasn't at home but in the room with her supposed new husband, the prince. she had a quick look round the room and quickly grabbed the blanket and took it closer to her chest and turned her gaze straight to the ground. " I was really tired yesterday, your majesty" she said still darting at the ground. He came
