"I have gathered you all here today because of a matter regarding the crown prince of Avalon, prince Ragnar." Father said.My step sisters all had a confused expression. I am also curious of what father is about to say."A letter has come from Avalon about a proposal of marriage from the crown prince for one of the princesses of wales." Father continued. "The letter states that he would come here to visit for a week in Helena’s grand ball, so I also invited him to attend.""King father, did he say who he would take as his bride?" Helena asked with excitement in her eyes."It is stated in the letter that all three princesses should be present in his visit. I guess he would be choosing one of you when he is here." Father said."Because my sister Helena is the eldest, I am willing to forfeit the selection father." Camila said with a smile. "I am also sure that mother has arranged my marriage.""I understand Camila." Father nodded. "Then the selection would be between Helena and Isabella
Williams and I were walking together back to my courtyard. It was a little dark so he escorted me back.We were getting near my courtyard when someone shouted my name."Isabella!" A familiar voice shouted.When I look around I saw Camila fuming in anger walking towards me. She lifted her hand and was about to slap me when I caught her hand mid way."You bitch!" Camila screamed. "How dare you come back!" She was struggling to get free."I have just come back after two years and you welcome me like this sister." I said with a cold tone. "What have I done to you now to receive your anger." I threw away her hand and she stumbled on the ground."How dare you!" Helena came just in time to see Camila stumble."She was the first one to attack me. I just defended my self." I said."She is right sister. Camila is the one that attacked us out of nowhere." Williams defended me."How dare you take her side?" Camila said. "She was the one that scarred my beautiful face.""Scarred your beautiful fac
The next day, Erik was really gone. He just left me a note on my bed side table. It said what he just said to me the night before.I felt empty inside. This was the first time in two years that we have parted. Erik has always been by my side since the first day we met.’Knock knock’"Yes? Come in." I said. Maggie came inside my room."Princess, Erik left early this morning for his vacation leave." Maggie said."I know." I showed her the letter I was holding. I forced a smile on my face."Do not worry princess. I am sure he will be back in no time." Maggie said. "Oh and I have to remind you that today your highness and your sisters will be greeting the crown prince Ragnar of Avalon on his arrival.""Oh. Is that today?" I had a lazy expression.I am not really in to meeting the crown prince again. But I remembered the day when we danced in my birthday ball. It was a magical moment, if I am to describe it. But that is all, just a moment."Let’s prepare you now, your highness." Maggie sai
"I am looking forward to spending this week with you princess." Prince Ragnar gave me a very familiar smile that I so much love. My eyes went wide.The smile that prince Regaleon just gave me was so similar to Erik’s bright smile I so much love.’Can it be?’ I thought to myself.Prince Ragnar’s deep blue eyes were looking at me with such passion. It was like he was sending me a message with them."Erik? Ragnar?" I murmured. You don’t need to be a genius to put two-and-two together to get such an obvious hint.Prince Ragnar’s smile changed to a mischievous one. He blinked one eye to me and gestured with his forefinger touching his perfect lips to be silent.I closed my mouth abruptly but I can feel that my surprise is still evident in my face.’How can that be? The crown prince of Avalon became my personal knight. He stayed with me for two years. And to top it off, we are in a relationship.’ I thought to myself.With that realization, I felt so embarrassed. I can feel a blush creep o
"Prince Ragnar, king father has instructed us sisters to tour you around the palace." Helena said with much enthusiasm. "If you just please follow me and..."Helena’s sentence was interrupted by prince Ragnar."Thank you for the offer." Prince Ragnar replied. "But princess Isabella had offered to show me around first.""I did?!" I was taken by surprise with Ragnar’s words. I looked at him curiously and he blinked rapidly before anyone could notice."Oh yes!" I said, going with Ragnar’s words. "I mean yes I did."Helena was shooting me daggers with her stare.’It looks like I foiled one of her plans. Well actually it was prince Ragnar that foiled her plans.’ I thought within me.Ragnar noticed how my step sister Helena was looking at me."It would be best not to be late the next time if you had plans." Ragnar said with a regal and cold voice.Helena was startled with Ragnar’s words that she cringed with fright. His words were polite but it was a scolding to her for being late."I-I’m
"A crown princess you say?" My king father asked in disbelief."Yes your majesty." Prince Ragnar answered without any hesitation."Hahaha. Then all the more the eldest princess is the most suitable for the role." Left prime minister Finley was beaming with joy. "Isn’t that right your majesty?" He asked king father."Well that is correct." King father replied.King father had a smile drawn in his face. Rather than a happy smile, it seemed to me that it was a malicious smile. It was as if there was a hidden meaning to it.’What are you thinking father?’ I thought."I am sure my eldest Helena is willing to take the role." King father asked and looked at Helena.Helena’s face was beaming with happiness."Yes king father." Helena bowed. "I have been studying many things, such as history and politics at such an early age. And also I have been always on top in manners and etiquette. I will not fail you, your highness, prince Ragnar."Helena’s words were full of pride. Her words were said as
I can feel the stares of the people around me. I am wearing on my head the purple passion that prince Ragnar gave me this morning.It was just after Ragnar’s little speech, no wonder everyone’s eyes are on me now. I looked around and saw the mixed faces of surprise and bewilderment.When my eyes passed by grandpa Marcus, he had a face that was saying ’I thought so’. Williams who was beside grandpa had a genuine smile.My eyes passed by the officials and ministers that looked unsatisfied. I straightened out myself walked towards Ragnar. I stood beside him with pride and dignity.’It was prince Ragnar who chose me. Even if I am an illegitimate child of king father, I won’t let them look down on me.’ I thought.I glanced up prince Ragnar. He gave me a smile of satisfaction with my action just now. Now I know where I will put all the training that I have done these past two years. It is to become Prince Ragnar’s Crown Princess . I answered his smile with my own smile thinking ’I won’t let
"What is king father saying?’ I was also puzzled with what I just heard. ’How can I get engaged without myself knowing of the engagement.’"NO!!!" Camila’s voice roared inside the throne room. "How can she be engaged with sir Philips?! Father, you have promised me an engagement with sir Philips.""Dear, calm down." My step mother was trying to calm Camila down. "I am sure that your king father is doing this for a good reason.""NO! I won’t let you do this." Camila was starting to get hysterical. "Father promised me marriage to sir Philip Middleton. You promised me that I would become the future duchess Middleton! Please explain, father!""Silence!" King father roared. He looked at Camila with burning fury. "When have I, the king, needed to explain to anyone?!"Camila was shocked in silence. She cowered back in fright."King husband, please quell your anger." Step mother said. "Our daughter was just shocked with the news. She didn’t mean to say such things.""If she doesn’t have anythi
