BETROTHED TO THE CROWN PRINCE. CHAPTER 10PRINCE ACE’S POV. It's been 3 days since father fell down at my engagement hall, the physician has been here attending to him, but nothing seems to be working out fine. It looks like he has no survival chances. I kept on pacing to and fro in his room, while the Physicians attends to him. I can't help but feel like I was the cause of all this, perhaps all this wouldn't have happened if we didn't carry out the engagement. Was this a bad sign? I inquired within myself and I kept on walking toe and for. I suddenly heard a loud cough from the emperor, not minding that I was in the room, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, to his position. Ignoring the physician, I quickly sat on the edge of his bed, close to the point he lay peacefully, and took his hands into mine, it's been 3 days since the physician has been here, attending to him and today is the first day he is making a move. “Father!” I called out gently, even though I could cle
BETHROTED TO THE CROWN PRINCE. CHAPTER ELEVEN. PRINCE ALFRED’S POV. It's been three days since the emperor fell down at Ace and Amy’s Engagement ceremony. I know it's coincidental, but I still can't help but feel like it's a bad sign for them, but apparently, a good thing for me, cause when I saw Amy dressed in that beautiful engagement gown, with her hands on Ace’s palm. I felt pain all over my body, it took me a lot to attend the engagement. I know I really need to do something before father wakes up and announces their wedding, if I can't get the throne, then I should be able to get my woman, run away with her, and go create some kingdom on my own. Ever since the king fell ill, Ace has always been with dad, he has been on the watch out for dad, and I'm immensely grateful for the effort he has been putting in to see that dad wakes up. But I feel kind of jealous because he acts as though he cares more about the emperor than any of us. However, his actions were bringing me
BETHROTED TO THE CROWN PRINCE.CHAPTER TWELVE. PRINCE ACE’S POV. As his hand slipped to her waistline, pulling her closer to himself, I felt my heart twitch In pain. But it didn't stop there, a devilish grin soon secured the bream of his lips, and I felt my heart clench and sink into my stomach. How was he not feeling bad after seeing me, was he not bothered, or was that another person in Alfred’s body? Cause the Alfred I know loves me so much, and would not even think of doing anything to hurt me. All these thoughts cloud my head and I soon felt pain anger and jealousy building inside me, with all this, I immediately turned and walked away with hot tears burning the back of my eyes terribly. My heart ached in pain, it was the first time of feeling this way about someone, how could it have been a mistake? Are they a thing? Or am not as sacrosanct as she is to me? What could be going on? I inquired within myself this time, tears had already welled up in my eyes, but I blinked b
BETROTHED TO THE CROWN PRINCE. CHAPTER 13.PRINCE ACE’S POV. It's been hours since I returned back from the secret room with so much pain in my heart, I've been laying on my bed, meditating on what I saw, I don't really know if to believe that Alfred is interested in my betrothed even though I've already seen a prove. I inhaled slightly and rubbed my forehead with my palm. ‘Fuck!” I cursed and groaned at the same time, I'd really hurt a lot of people in just an hour. I tossed tiredly and stood up from my bed, recalling how Alexia had left my room with pain in her eyes, she must be feeling really bad. I pulled into my water crock and walked out of my chambers, heading to hers. I hope I don't meet her crying, I shouldn't have done that to her, what do I say to her? How is she currently feeling? That perturbing thoughts were constantly nagging at me, when I suddensely felt the presence of her royal majesty, she looked like she was heading from the lady's chamber, and the first th
BETTOTHED TO THE CROWN PRINCE. CHAPTER 14. PRINCESS AMY’S POV. I woke up this morning feeling really tired and heavy, I teased my eyes tiredly and stridden out of the bed ready to go have my shower, as usual, my bath water was waiting patiently for me in the bathroom. I hurriedly fixed myself a bath and came out to meet the whole place sparkling neat, I need no one to tell me that it was all my maid's work. As usual, my clothes were already fixed on my bed, but they were something that baffled me, the dress was looking absolutely different from casual wear.“What's with the occasion Amelia? Am I going anywhere different?” still confused at the kind of clothes on the bed, I turned to her, she was fixing my dryer and my body lotion on top of the tables in front of the mirror. “Yes, my lady, The crown prince wishes to see you.” she bowed after her reply and I rolled my eyeball, feeling completely disgusted already. “That jerk, what the hell is wrong with him? Huh? Does he thin
BETHROTED TO THE CROWN PRINCE. CHAPTER 15PRINCE ACE’S POV. I managed to walk out of the arena, leaving all the food to the guards that surrounded the place, my heart twitched as I recalled all the words she threw at me, it was so hard for me to believe that all this while she felt nothing for me, that all this while I was the only one dying and craving her audience, that I was the only one dying to have her to my self. My heart would constantly clench at the reminder, that she sees me as just an element that has been imposed on her by her father. I never expected it to hurt this way, even though I'd seen her settle calmly in his embrace, I was terribly hurting, and my heart was aching badly as though daggers were being thrust deeply into it. I managed to carry my weak legs to the emperor's chambers ignoring the greeting that came from all the guards and maids that came my way. To me, their greetings were the greatest liability right now. With heavy eyes and shattered hearts, I
BETROTHED TO THE CROWN PRINCE.CHAPTER 16.PRINCE’S ACE’S POV. It's been a week since my father died and I haven't been able to get over the loss of him, the elders had called for a meeting that would declare the date of my final swear-in and coronation but I have been postponing it because I was still not over the shock that my father died right here in my arms, the thought and the image of that day kept coming on and playing in my head, and I still can't help but feel like I was the cause of the emperor's death, perhaps, just perhaps, if I had not gone to see him and pour out to him a lot more troubles than he was already Into, then maybe he wouldn't have drifted away from our fingers this easily, I'd been seating in front of this mirror for like an hour now, I wasn't clearly staring at myself, I was just there because it was the only place that permitted me to think exactly the way I want to. The elders must be waiting patiently for me. Maybe today I will have to face the real r
BETHROTHED TO THE CROWN PRINCE.CHAPTER 17PRINCE ALFRED’S POV.I stride closer to Ashley's room feeling really bad, that I haven't come to see her since, only for my legs to halt abruptly at the sight that welcomed me, the moment I opened the door. My heart twitched and sank to the floor, the moment I saw Ace’s fairy fingers sink Amy closer to him by the waist, while her hands rest lightly on his ripped muscle, ready to let him take her lips into his. The way her hands rested on Ace’s shoulder made my heart twitch. I feel so pained that even tho I am handsome and possess a lot of beauty that everyday lady would like, I'm still not close to being competitive with Ace. Ace was the epitome of striking, he had cute portable eyes and nice lips that could get everyone salivating, I guess that's why Amy could not resist, but that's not an avenue to cheat, she probably doesn't find me attractive again. I have tried several times to go to the gym, and even when I know that that wasn't what
