Aria pov

So here i was sitting with prince Zane. Honestly, still don't know how I ended up here. All I knew was that I got an invitation through my maid Erika, who had told me the news excitedly. Instead of my usual boring routine with lady Brunhilda, i ended up learning how to properly behaved in a royal court filled with nobles from the outer court. And somehow I ended here.

There wasn't enough time for lady Brunhilda to teach me what was needed of me, instead she gave me one advice, it was an advice I could say Brunhilda was sincere about, even though she could easily put horrible dust on my face, it turns out she sincerely cared for me. Her advice were simple, say nothing, follow prince Zane lead. If I wasn't careful enough, I would be used by the nobles. They could manipulate me into saying yes to a scheme they are trying to force on prince Zane. I was already been use by king Kaida. I had no interest in becoming everybody rag doll.

    Aria povI was still angry with all that had happened with the nobles from the outer court. Didn't fully know who I was angry at. Was it the prince? The nobles? Or the damn king for locking himself up, refusing to attend to his people. A king wasn't supposed to be this reckless, prince Zane was taking each blow of his father recklessness without complains. I guess he really is a good son, I could give him credit for that. Prince Zane didn't come to back to his room for the rest of the day. It was as he knew that i was waiting for him. I wanted to question him on why he let all that happened to him at the court, was he really that pathetic. I was ready to mock him regardless of any answers he would give me.Right now, I can't understand my emotions, I should have joined the rest of the nobles that despise prince Zane to go against him. I should have laughed among them when they laughed at him, even if I was trying to protect myself from king Kaida by acting like a good fiances. At the

    Aria povWaking up to a nice soft bed wasn't a surprise for me. Prince Zane always made sure I got move from the floor early, before Erika comes into the room to dress me up. If only the bed was the problem, the problem here, was that prince Zane who was sleeping half naked had his arms wrapped around me.A scream came out of my mouth the moment I woke up. Prince Zane wasn't move by my scream, all he did was smiled at me with those silver eyes. If only i wasn't so surprised right now. It somehow seems like prince Zane was expecting more reactions from me, worst ones, like the scream I gave wasn't fun enough for him. There was this disappointment hiding in his smile. Before I could question him on what the hell he was doing, Erika opened the door to the room like she did every morning without knocking, because she was sure that prince Zane wasn't around."Oh... I.. I'm sorry to disturb, I should have knocked." Erika said in a small voice, feeling embarrassed, her back turned so she co

    Aria pov"This! Miss Erika, is exactly what happened when our kind king decided to give powers to some foolish buffoons who called themselves nobles." "I agree with you Lady Brunhilda. I'm still in shock at the news, I fear greatly for the life of our great king, even though, I know he's a strong man capable of crushing little insect like Sir Nuriel and his cohorts." "Indeed Erika. This was part of the reason I refuse to join the outer court, the people there are so full of themselves, all they have is a little status, now they are starting to get way too ahead of themselves, all because of their desires for a power that they can't handle." Lady Brunhilda and Erika were both taking the news of king Kaida more personal than I was. It's not like I didn't care, it was just that my ability to feel strong concerned for the man who holds my life in his hands have been affected by prince Zane."Bless whoever it was, that exposed Sir Nuriel. That wretched man is no different from a crimina

    Aria pov"Our king is back." Erika said. He's your king not mine."Is it an habit of his to disappear like this?" I asked Erika as she arrange my already wash corset that was now dry."Yes, there are times king Kaida disappear and hide himself away from those in the inner court. But none of us can blame him, those old men can sometimes be too demanding. If I was the king, I would probably be a tyrant. You know, those kind of king that can easily say off with their head."I chuckle at Erika words. Those kind of king only existed in movies, but the thought of being one was fun, instead of scheming, you can just be plain with your desire to get rid of those you don't like."Maybe that was the reason I was born a human, lady Aria. Heavens forbide I commit such a grave sin." Erika chuckle to herself. Although she forbid the idea, she clearly enjoy her weird thought of power. "Even though king Kaida have the habit of disappearing, he always return back to his throne on time. This was the l

From what I heard, they saw a certain human princess who was willing to bow her head easily in front of them because of fear."Nadia poured another wine for prince Zane, when the first wine she gave him was finished. I didn't know what prince Zane was expecting me to say. He found out through his two loyal lackeys that I had eavesdrop on some vamp before, so what? I don't see how any of that matters to him. "I believe you are already aware of how much your kinds looks down on humans, It's nothing new my prince." "I know. it's good you have done what you did. I can see you took my advice from last time." Prince Zane places his wine glass on the table, it rims was covered in gold. The glass was beautifully design in a way an ordinary human wasn't capable of. "You two," he called out, "leave us!"

But it's a must that we discipline ourselves enough to exhibit some form of self control, i believe it's the only way we can overcome our weak human nature.""All I'm going to do is ride a horse. Just because I missed one of Brunhilda lessons doesn't mean I'm giving in to desires, Erika." I kept walking around the horse stable, searching for the perfect horse. Each horses here where good. But each one of them reminded me of that day. The time I went out with prince Zane."My lady, if king Kaida knows that you willing missed your lessons with lady Brunhilda just so that you could have some fun, he's going to be furious." Then let him be furious, everything about this place was choking me. I was a werewolf, not a super human, I get fustrated too at things in life.

    Aria povThe last time I spoke to prince Zane wasn't good, we were both at each other throat, at the end of the day, we were both angry with each other. The insult he throws at me wasn't true, but still it hurts. Prince Zane had a venomous way of making his words really hurt. I haven't bother myself to do anything that could cross him, even though if he found it amusing. I wasn't here in Esterial for his amusement. For me, this was just a survival game, one I wasn't sure I could ever be free from. Seeing prince Zane leaning on the wall close to lady Brunhilda chamber, where I normally take my lessons wasn't exactly something i expected would happened. Erika kept telling me in that annoying girly voice of her's, that he was here because he missed me. I knew that wasn't true. Erika still believe that we were actually in love and that he had strong affection for me. When i came out from lady Brunhilda chamber and sighted prince Zane, I doubted I was the one he was here for, it could be

    Aria povThis was the strong healthy man who save me from Kaiser and took away the rest of my life as a compensation for his act of kindness. King Kaida was looking exactly like himself, no trace of the person I saw, who had lock himself up in that room. My guess was that king Kaida must have took in the poison, but because of political issue, he wasn't ready to address any of the issues, so he didn't arrest Sir Nuriel for his actions. Prince Zane wasn't like his father, so there was no way he was going to show the same act of kindness, neither was he going to care. The conclusion I had form in my head about what had happened to king Kaida sounded so perfect. Still, I knew that wasn't it. King Kaida was no much different from his son. Though I doubted he would ever waste his time on small flies like Sir Nuriel. King Kaida act of kindness was not so much as something I would called kindness. I was quite sure, base on the fact that my current life was as a result of it. "Never knew y
