The male subordinate came closer to the duke and whispered to his ear. I see Duke Monroe nodding and then looked surprise. He waves to his subordinate to go and the subordinate left courteously.The duke looked at me with a serious face. "I have word from his majesty King Ragnar for you Princess Isabella."My face brightened up upon hearing Ragnar’s name. "Tell me, what did he say?" I said enthusiastically."His majesty King Ragnar is on his way here as we speak." Duke Monroe said. "With his group’s current pace, he will be here the day after Elsa’s coming of age ceremony."My eyes brightened with this information. ’My love is just a few days away from me. I will be able to see him once again.’ I thought to myself."I have sent word to his majesty. You can wait for him at a meeting place that is in a safe distance from here. Once you have successfully escaped, you and your group will hide there to wait for his majesty’s arrival." Duke Monroe said.I can feel great joy just knowing tha
After the whole ordeal in the Luis Vuitton Clothing Store was over, the two knights were quickly detained and sent back to the palace. We, on the other hand continued our shopping here in town."Big sis, are you really all right?" Elsa asked with a worried tone."Do not worry Sasa, I am fine. Nothing bad happened and those offenders have been quickly detained." I assured her with a smile. "I am sure your brother will give them the right punishment for offending a princess like me.""Hmph..." Camila scoffed. Both Sasa and I looked at her but she didn’t say anything after."I have already got all of your measurements. Rest assured that the dresses for the princess’ coming of age ceremony will be done and delivered as scheduled." Lady Maya said with a smile. "Is there anything else you need?" She asked."Oh, we are also here to look at jewels and accessories." Elsa said."There are many good jewelry and accessory stores in the plaza. Feel free to look over there. I am sure you would find
The dinner was eaten in peace, much to my relief. I heard from Darius that the knights from earlier that offended me were punished with fifty lashes of the whip each. It was said that Darius wanted to punish them with death but the high priest Haden opposed to it. Being that the knights were under the queen’s command, she is the only one to give a death penalty. So for now Darius gave them other harsh punishment.I was lying on bed but wasn’t able to sleep. I was thinking of the coming of age ceremony that will be held just a few days from now. We will be executing our escape plan at the same day as the ceremony is being held.I was also thinking about the information that Ragnar was coming to get me. I was excited to know that in just a few days time I will be seeing him once again.I heaved a sigh and sat up in my bed. Sleep won’t be coming anytime soon and so I stood up and got my robe and put it on. I walked towards the door and opened it.“Is something matter Isabella?" It was P
The day of Elsa’s coming of age ceremony had finally arrived. These past few days have passed without anything major happening.Camila and I had a long talk after the event that evening in the garden outside. I cannot say that we have been close but at least her antagonistic feeling towards me has been dissipated.Darius on the other has been pampering me since he came back. He didn’t kiss me again like the first time we met and I was thankful for that but his closeness towards me is quite uncomfortable. ’Nevertheless, I only have to endure this last day.’ I thought to myself.Yes this is the day that I can escape my captivity here in Geneva. Our plans will start tonight at the masquerade ball. I was still in my room lying on the bed and just woke up. The sun has just risen and it was still early in the morning."Good morning your highness." Mary came in my room. "You have woken up early." She said with a smile."Yes, good morning Mary." I replied with a smile. "Today is an importan
"Princess Isabella, are you sure you are fine?" Philip asked worriedly. He might have seen my face looking sad just now."It’s okay, I am fine." I replied with a forced smile.What I need to focus right now was to get through this breakfast with Darius safely. It is true that he had been docile these past few days, but that was because I never met him alone. I know that we will be having breakfast in his private quarters but for sure there will be maids to assists us, so that at least made me calm down.I was walking towards Darius’ private quarters with Mary and Phil accompanying me. We passed by busy employees decorating the palace for the event today. I can see different kinds of flowers being put into beautiful vases, the curtains on windows are being replaced with ones that looked even grander, and the maids are cleaning every inch of the palace diligently. Everyone we passed by stopped, giving me a respectful bow. Of course the news that I was to be wedded to their crown prince
"Greetings to the future son of the Genevan Kingdom." I curtsied."Rise, my future moon." Darius walked towards me. He took my hand and kissed it affectionately. "Come, let us eat." Darius escorted me gently to my seat and helped me settle down. After that he took his own seat and waved to the maids to prepare the dishes. Breakfast was laid on the table carefully by the maids and they stood by the side after.I quietly started to eat my breakfast in peace not looking at Darius as much as possible.“The palace is quite lively today." Darius started conversing. "It is Elsa’s coming of age ceremony after all." I nodded with his words."I am very grateful to Duke Monroe, having him sponsor and arrange this for my little sister." Darius continued. "I was so busy with the war that I wasn’t able to take care of her at all." I looked at Darius and he had a warm and gentle smile talking about her sister. This just made me think of how close they are to each other."You look quite close to yo
"Hmm...no..mhmm." I tried to push him hard but my strength is nothing compared to his.Darius’ arms locked around me and I cannot get out. My lips are in his possession and I cannot do anything but to squirm in his embrace. "Haah..haah..." I took in breaths when Darius let go of my lips. His lips trailed towards my neck. "P-Please no...*sob*...E-Erik." I unknowingly called for Ragnar’s name. Darius’ attacks stopped midway. My tears were falling and a sob was breaking out of my lips. When I looked at him, his face was full of rage that froze me in place. "You.Are.Mine..." Darius seethed in his anger. He carried me abruptly and took me by surprise. "No... let go of me..." I tried to punch and kick him but to no avail. Darius took me to another room and closed the door behind him. He laid me down in bed forcefully. "W-What are you doing?" Fear had taken over my whole body. "I will take you here and now." Darius face looked dark, unlike the one that expressed his love for me just
"What is happening?" A high voice rang inside the room.All in the room were frozen in place. This voice came to no other than the queen of Geneva, Queen Fiona. She entered the wrecked room of the crown prince with the high priest Haden following her from behind.All of the ones present inside the room bowed down in her presence. Philip also bowed down as acting. "Greetings to the moon of the Genevan Kingdom." The people inside the room greeted in unison. "All of you stand up and tell me what happened." Queen Fiona asked again. "Y-Your majesty, we really didn’t know what happened." A servant replied. "We left the crown prince and princess inside his highnesses private quarters as ordered by him. And after a while we heard an explosion. What you see now is also what we saw when we first entered.The queen looked at the injured Darius and me alternately. "Tell me Isabella, did my son do something to you?" Queen Fiona walked towards me but just stopped outside the force field. "You c
