[Isabella’s POV]Flashback to twenty minutes earlier Ragnar was holding me tight in his embrace. His temperature is a little hot. His head rested in my shoulder. I can hear his breathing was heavy. It made me a bit worried."Ragnar, are you feeling unwell? Is it because of the drug you inhaled?" I said worriedly."Don’t worry, I can still endure." Ragnar looked at me and smiled. "Anyways, what are you planning to do with her?" Ragnar gestured his head towards Helena lying on he ground, unconscious.I looked at my step sister with anger and hate."How dare she do this to my future husband?!" I said with seething anger."What ever you are planning, I will support you." Ragnar said. "I am here to back you up."I smiled at him sweetly and nodded. I slowly inched away from Ragnar’s embrace and walked towards where my step sister was laying."You." I looked at sir Carlos who is kneeling beside Helena. "You are Helena’s personal knight, correct? Why are you begging for mercy in behalf of my
After Kyler followed Carlos out of the room, Ragnar , Philips and I are the only ones left. ’Well this feels a bit awkward.’ I thought to myself. Ragnar and Philips were staring at each other. They looked like they were fighting an inner battle that I cannot see. "Um, Erik." I tried to break the atmosphere. "Philips was there to save me." "Is that so?" Ragnar said with a sarcastic tone. "Then I give you my sincere thanks for saving my ’future wife’." I know that Ragnar was sincere in giving his thanks. But why is there hostility in his sentence just now? "No need to thank me your highness." Philips gave a wry smile. "It is my duty as princess Isabella’s knight." There was a stand off between the both of them for a few minutes. And I was standing at the side, awkwardly staring at them. "You can take your leave, now that I am here." Ragnar broke the silence. "Me and my future wife have something to discuss." "Then I will be withdrawing." Philips bowed his head. "Oh befo
[Isabella’s POV]What is this?!" I hear a man shout. If I am not mistaken, this voice came from father. Ragnar stopped kissing me after he heard father’s words. He slowly eased up on top of me but still covered me with his body. "Crown prince Ragnar?!" It was the voice of my step mother the queen. ’So she is also here?’ I thought. ‘Well, this is interesting.’ I smiled.Ragnar was protecting me from the gaze of the group of people that came inside. I was naked under him and that made me nervous. He took his coat from the floor and covered me up. ‘Luckily Ragnar’s coat is big and long.’ I thought. It covered my body, but my feet were still exposed. "Prince Ragnar, what is the meaning of this?" My father roared. "I’m sorry your majesty, I just can’t resist your daughter’s charm." Ragnar said.I can hear a hint of teasing in his voice. I giggled lightly. Because I don’t want to get caught giggling, I held Ragnar coat tightly. "Sister, what did the crown prince do to you!" Camila su
Ragnar inched his face slowy towards mine and caught my lips with his. He nibbled my lips gently, his tongue licking.His arms encircled my small waist, his chest was sticking to mine. My body is starting to feel hot again, with such intimate actions. ’Knock knock’ "Your highness." Kyler called from outside the door. "Your change of clothes are here."Ragnar leaned his head on my shoulder and sighed lightly. I hear him chuckle.“I guess our sweet moment will be cut short." Ragnar said with a smile. I nodded and agreed with him, giggling. "Oh, now you are laughing at me." Ragnar pinched my nose softly. "Well wait until we get married. You will surely have sleepless nights ahead." He grind wolfishly.I stopped giggling and blushed with what he just said.Ragnar leaned on my ear. "I am looking forward to our future." A hint of teasing was carried in his words.After that he changed his clothes quickly. We get back to the party hand in hand, as if nothing happened. *** (At the King’
The queen held on to her cheek that was starting to get red and swollen. She looked at her husband, wide eyed in disbelief. "You have done many things against my loved ones for far too long. I have tolerated you in the past. But it ends now." The king looked at his wife with contempt.They have been married for many years now. Their relationship has always been cordial, mutual respect for one another. The king had turned a blind eye to all the wickedness the queen meted out to Isabella. But taking his daughter’s life was far out of line. "How dare you?" The queen hissed in anger. "I have tolerated your bullying Isabella since the beginning. I thought you will at least let her live, if I don’t give her importance. But I was so wrong." The king sighed heavily. If he knew that the queen would still target Isabella’s life, then he should have showered her with love and affection since the beginning. "Hahaha." The queen laughed wickedly. "Your bastard of a daughter looks so much like
The palace was busy even after the engagement party. The parade on the streets of the capital is about to go down, and so the busy preparations are being made. The engagement of the crown prince of Avalon and the third princess of Wales is a joyous news. Such news was starting to circulate in the street of Wales, and so this parade will give them the confirmation of the future of the two kingdoms. While people on the palace are busy with such preparations, a group of people in horse back came. They look liked they were knights, and they were surrounding and guarding a grand looking carriage. They stopped right in front of the closed gates of the palace. "Halt!" A guard exclaimed. "What is your business here? You cannot go inside the palace uninvited." A knight moved his horse near the guard that stopped them and gave them an envelope. The guard read the content and was surprised. "I am sorry for the disrespect." The guard kneeled down. "Quickly, open the gates. And inform h
Prince Darius bowed down in front of me. He took my right hand and kissed its back. I was stunned with his sudden gesture.But then in a second, a wind passed by me. In an instant my hand that was held by prince Darius was snatched away. I look at my side and I see Ragnar, dressed in his princely attire of black and silver. He held my hand possessively. "I think we haven’t been introduced before." Ragnar said with a cold tone, looking intently at the young man in front of me. "I am crown prince Ragnarok Pendragon of Avalon. And fiancé of the third princess of Wales, princess Isabella."It seemed like a normal introduction, but Ragnar was in effect saying ‘I am princess Isabella’s future husband, so back off.’ I giggled internally, knowing Ragnar too well.Prince Darius stood his ground, even with Ragnar emitting intimidating aura towards him. "It is nice to meet you, prince Ragnar." Prince Darius smiled brightly. He extended his hand as a gesture. "I am the crown prince of Geneva
Ragnar couldn’t keep me company for long. He was busy with the preparations of the grand parade in a few days. "Why the sad face?" Ragnar caressed my cheeks with his perfect but rough fingers.Although, I am used to his hands. I know that his hands have roughages from training with weapons. I know he is an expert in using a variety of weapons because of the training he has given me. But of all the weapons he has used, Ragnar specializes in the use of the sword the most. "I just want to be with you a little longer." I answered his question. "I know Isa, me too." Ragnar said, gently comforting me. "After this parade ends, we will be traveling back to my kingdom. We will spend most of the time with each other." I sighed sadly and nodded. "I promise, I will come and visit you in your courtyard tonight. Let’s have dinner together." Ragnar said and kissed my forehead. "Hmm okay." I replied. I slowly encircle my arms around his waist and give him a hug.Ragnar chuckled lightly. "I lik
