"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
All the officials and minsters in the throne room started murmuring. It looks like Ragnar’s offer is hard to decline."Crown prince Ragnar." It was prime minister Mark who spoke. "The matter of princess Isabella’s engagement haa become a rather important talk between our two countries. Can you please give us some time to talk about this with ourselves? We will call upon you after a decision has been made."All of the officials and ministers around nodded in agreement. King father looked stressed with the sudden issue at hand. I am sure that the talks with his ministers won’t be an easy one."Then I will take my leave then." Prince Ragnar said. "But please make haste. I also don’t want to wait any longer. As you know I have decided princess Isabella as my bride to be on her eighteenth birthday. And so I have been her fiancee officially since two years ago."The officials and ministers started murmuring again. Ragnar’s gesture on my eighteenth birthday, presenting me a purple passion, w
King George’s POVYour majesty, the vote has been casted between all the officials and ministers present." Prime minister Mark said. "The majority of the votes is in favor of princess Isabella being crown prince Ragnar’s crown princess and bride to be."After that brat Regaleon had left towing my daughter with him, the talks about the crown princess candidate started.As expected they talked about the pros and cons of the engagement with Isabella and that brat Ragnar.The five towns were truly of importance to Wales. The majority of food and crops comes from those five towns. With Ragnar’s little speech a while ago, he was threatening to take back the ’lent’ towns if we don’t approve of Isabella’s engagement to him.The consequences of losing those towns were huge. And so I was not surprised that the majority of the votes are in favor of Isabella being Ragnar’s bride and crown princess of Avalon."But the third princess wasn’t educated with the proper lessons on being of royalty." Lef
Isabella’s POVRagnar and I were walking side by side. We were a little far away from the inner palace but we are still inside the palace grounds.The sun had set just a while ago. The moon is not fully out and the sky is full of twinkling stars."Here, take my hand." Ragnar offered me his hand. "You might trip on the way."It was getting a bit dark because it was just past seven. I took his hand, because it was extended right in front of me.This wasn’t the first time I have held his hand, but still it makes me shy. I hear him chuckle lightly."What are you laughing?" I said shyly. I am just happy that it was dark because Ragnar would have seen my face that it was so red in shyness."I have held your had quite a number of times before." Ragnar said teasingly. "And yet you are still shy towards me.""Well this is the first time I have held hands with the crown prince Ragnar of Avalon." I said sarcastically. "Forgive me for being a little shy. It’s just because you are a great person."
The next day, Ragnar and I were called to the king’s office. It was still early in the morning. I was walking in the halls leading to my father’s office. I was being led by one of my father’s trusted attendant and Maggie was accompanying me from behind. Not long I can see a door at the end of the hall. There standing was a young man whose back is facing us. He was wearing a black regal attire that gives out a regal aura. The young man turned around when we were getting closer. I see his face where the upper half was covered with a silver mask. He smiled to me gently. My heart clenched by the time our eyes met. "Prince Ragnar, you are here rather early." The attendant said with respect. "Why haven’t you entered yet your highness?" "Our prince is waiting for princess Isabella ." A tall man beside Ragnar said. If I am not mistaken, this man was also with Ragnar two year ago on my birthday ball. "O-Oh is that so?" The attendant was a bit flustered that he talked out of turn. It
Helena’s room was in such a mess. Many things are broken and lying on the floor."NO!" Helena was shouting hysterically."Sister, please calm down." Camila said. Fearing for the mental health of her sister."How do you think i will calm down?" Helena said. "Knowing that Isabella snatched what was meant to be mine!""Helena!" Their mother came in Helena’s room with anger. "Is that how a princess should be acting?"Helena’s cries turned into sobs. "B-but, mother.""Come here." The queen opened her arms for an embrace. Helena willingly ran into her arms."Mother, I should have been prince Ragnar’s wife. I should have been the crown princess." Helena said between sobs."Hush now Helena." The queen said. "Do you think I would let that bastard get what is rightfully yours.""What do you mean mother?" Camila asked."I have a plan that will make prince Ragnar change his mind about marrying her." The queen said wickedly."What is it mother?" Helena stopped crying."What if the prince learns th
Isabella’s POV The next few days were hectic. The engagement party was scheduled at the end of the week. The purpose of the engagement party was to announce my engagement to Prince Ragnar to the noble society. Two days after the engagement party, there will be the parade in the roads of the royal city. The parade is also to inform the common folks about my engagement to the crown prince of Avalon. These past few days I was so busy preparing these two important events. As the fiancee of the crown prince and the future crown princess, I have to do the preparations with perfection. I have met different kinds of vendors in charge of various things such as food, decorations, flowers and more. "Thank you very much for coming in such short notice." I said to the person that is in charge of flower arrangements. We just finished our meeting in the recieving room and he was about to leave. "I am very grateful for your cooperation." "It is an honor to serve you, princess." He said with a
After a few minutes of knocking loudly the door was opened by the new butler Ragnar has assigned to me.My father the king stormed inside like there was some emergency."Isabella!" Father said loudly."Father? What a surprise." I said in a calm tone.The king looked at Ragnar and I sitting across each other, with the center table between us. I was in the action of refilling Ragnar’s cup of tea."King George ." Ragnar said with an innocent smile. "What a pleasant surprise to see you here. Knowing that you don’t come in this part of the palace often."King father frowned deeply."Father please join us for a cup of tea." I said with a pleasant smile. "Ragnar just arrived to visit me this afternoon.""Yes. I have been busy in the preparations for the engagement party and the parade." Ragnar said."Ahem." King father cleared his throat. "I didn’t know you would be here prince Ragnar. But why was the door locked?""It was locked?" I sounded surprised."Pardon me, your majesty, your highness
