Aria pov

"So there was no catastrophe today?" I asked Erika.

"No, my lady. Princess Thaisa's servant was well-behaved. Nadia must have reminded her that this is Esterial and not Survnial. I'm sure that she reported what had happened to the prince."

"Okay." I gaze at the clock that was hanging on the wall. I have spent more time talking with Erika than I usually do at night. It somehow felt like I was looking for something to do. Anything. Like I was trying to just pass time.

I should sleep.

Erika had taken so much time in the kitchen the other day, because of princess Thaisa's servant, Cecilia. She was making unreasonable demands. Cecilia was trying to boss everyone in the kitchen, demanding that no one should attend to Erika until princess Thaisa's demands have been made. Her demands were close to impossible. She was asking for meals that couldn't be found in Esterial. Erika told me that she held herself back from slapping Cecilia in the face. Instead of wasting time by partaking

    Aria pov"My lady there is no need for you to carry the books lady Brunhilda had given to you," Erika said."What do you mean that?" I asked.Was there something I wasn't aware of? Usually, Erika didn't act like this, it could be that either prince Zane or King Kaida have once again organized an event I wasn't aware of, as much as I like slacking off on any free day I'm able to get, lady Brunhilda lessons were the perfect distraction for me these days. Her lessons help me to stop thinking so much about stupid things.Things such as prince Zane and practically anything that had to do with him. I have been getting good at Blicht language. Lady Brunhilda has been feeling a whole lot like a proud teacher. All it took was for me to see prince Zane having the time of his life with princess Thaisa for me to come back to my senses. I haven't set my eyes on him ever since that day. I would love to say that I no longer think about him at night but I still do. I still wait for him at night, los

    Aria povThere was an annoying pounding on the door. I tried using my pillow to block off the noise by wrapping it around my ears but it wasn't working. Who on earth was that? Was the palace on fire? Even if that was the case, couldn't it find another time to set itself ablaze? I was really tired, I needed to sleep."Go away!" I scream out loud at whoever decided that disturbing my sleep was a good idea. My eyes were finally shutting without me feeling tormented by any thoughts of prince Zane. This was the first time someone had been so daring to knock at prince Zane's door like this. It could be that this person was desperately in need of help, or was in some sort of danger. I don't care about whoever it was that was behind that door. Their life and mine was different. Whatsoever mess anyone had tangled themselves with. They should leave me out of it."Go away!" I scream again. Louder than the first time. My voice only encourages this person to continue knocking. The noise was so

    Aria povThe looks on Thaisa face show that no one had ever been kind enough to tell her that she wasn't needed. I don't know if she had lived her whole life feeling like the whole world love her because I hated her in every way. Yes, this was prince Zane's room but I slept in here, so it was also my room. "Leave!" I said again. "Now!" "Why should I listen to you? I know that you feel nothing for him. You act as though my request is unreasonable. If you leave prince Zane, you will be compensated awesomely by my father. Other than that I can get prince Zane to talk to his father so that you wouldn't be punished in any way. Her words made sense, but I didn't have a say in my relationship with prince Zane. Thaisa was giving me the perfect chance to escape from this relationship. The chance to say that I don't want to be prince Zane's fiance anymore. I should take it. "How much is your father willing to pay?" My words were empty. It wasn't coming from my heart. "How much do you want?"

    Aria povI lay down on the bed with my eyes shut. Pretending to be asleep. I could hear water running as prince Zane took his shower. The light in the room was off. Everywhere was covered in thick darkness, I could barely see if I opened my eyes so I left them shut. If I could use my werewolf vision I would have been able to see clearly. Prince Zane move around the darkness as though it was filled with light and he could see without any issue. Either prince Zane knew every single inch of his room without Aidan and Nadia help or there was something prince Zane was hiding. He lay down on the bed, after putting on his night ware. The moment I felt him adjusting himself to a comfortable position. My eyes were shut tight, I was waiting for him to drive me away. A few minutes pass and there was still not a single word from him. Was he asleep? Perhaps I should turn around to check. But what if he was still awake? Does it matter? It was not like he could see me anyway. If I could make myse

    Aria pov"Stay outside. They are still sleeping." I could hear Erika's voice from outside the room. What was going on? It sounded like Erika was arguing with someone outside."I have an early appointment with prince Zane." Princess Thaisa argue."I don't how you do things in survnial. But here in Esterial, the servant doesn't disturb the master when he's busy. As you can see my prince is still sleeping with his fiance inside. No one is allowed to disturb them, not even you princess Thaisa." "I will like to see you stop me." Princess Thaisa snarled at Erika. "My princess, Erika is right. As you can see we are all waiting outside until we are allowed to go in." Aidan said. Those that mean Aidan and Nadia were outside too? The thought of them being outside made me feel relieved that Erika wasn't fighting Thaisa by herself. Thaisa could easily force her way through Erika if she wanted to. Because she was human. I turned to the other side of the bed and faced prince Zane. He was still

    Aria povLady Brunhilda's chamber was quiet. I silently pretended to be reading the book she gave to me. My mind was too distracted with the thought of prince Zane, just when I thought I could stop thinking about him. After that night I was falling miserably at my attempt to not think of him. He didn't answer the question I asked him about if he was in love with princess Thaisa or not. It shouldn't bother me so much that he didn't answer the question I had asked him but I couldn't stop myself from letting it bother me.Which was it? Did he love her or not? Most importantly, I didn't want to care, I never answered his question about my true identity. Still, my lack of answers shouldn't correspond with his. Our questions were completely different. Why was he treating me like this? Leaving me in so much doubt.Perhaps the problem wasn't prince Zane but me. I have been asking myself why I cared so much about princess Thaisa ever since she came to Esterial. Prince Zane was not my friend.

    Aria povI have never been the kind of girl who hangs out with other girls. Before I left dreamstake pack, my best friends were all guys. Our friendship lasted for a few years until two thought that killing me was a great idea. I won't deny the fact that I did deserve it, but just because I deserve it means that I wanted to die. I was the first one who got betrayed by them anyway. So I feel nothing about what I did. I was in a different garden at the palace with princess Thaisa. I know what anyone might what to ask, what was I doing in a garden, peacefully sipping tea with princess Thaisa? Even though we weren't even friends. Well to cool anyone's mind. I wasn't the one who made the first approach, I wasn't even a tea person but princess Thaisa didn't need to know that. Right now she was right where I want her. Unlike every other garden in the palace. This one was different, I don't know how the flowers were grown because it was in the palace, flourishing as though they were planted

    Aria pov"My lady, your planned work. A lot of opinions about princess Thaisa have changed. Those that were in support of her love towards prince Zane are no longer in her favor." "I know Erika. It was a nice plan wasn't it?" I play around with one of my makeup that had been neatly arranged on the dressing table. "I was warned by prince Zane to stop messing with his beloved guest." "Oh, is that the reason why you are looking so gloom?" "No. Not really, I can't tell why I feel like this." Maybe the idea of leaving princess Thaisa alone was already making me feel bored. "What does this mean my lady? Are we going to continue with the plan to get rid of princess Thaisa and her family or are we going to stop here?"Erika." "Yes, my lady." "I will let you decide. Should we stop or not?" "I would love to say no but if prince Zane is against it, then I guess the best option for us right now is to stop." Just because he was against it doesn't mean that I had to listen to him. "Where i

"you two ladies are making me feel bad." Brian said, "Maybe we should stay in Esterial." he said to Erika. "no. it's okay if you both don't stay here, staying here means you have to quit your job as Bryant Beta, and let's be honest, Bryant would be lost without you by his side." Aria said in between tears. Brian chuckles softly. "Besides, living here isn't a good idea. there are a lot of politics that can turn into a headache. I'm sure you don't want that." Aria wipes the tears on her face. she was in front of the palace gate. she had only wanted to follow them out a little. but now she couldn't stop crying. "Queen Aria."

Erika ask. eager to know if her mate was in the kingdom. she removed her hands from Aria's hair even though she hadn't finished braiding.

"You still haven't informed your guards that we aren't enemies anymore. I don't want anybody threatening me anytime I come here." alpha Bryant nagged Aria. Aria rolled her eyes. "I have told them, but they are vampires, you can't expect them to start trusting our kind just because I say so." "but they trust you," Bryant stated.

"Erika." she called. "did Zan_ I mean did the King leave the palace today?" Erika put down the tea she was having with Lady Brunhilda. "I believe King Zane had been in the palace all day." "What is the point of coming to my chamber to see me if all you are going to do is think about your husband." Lady Brunhilda mumbled audibly for Aria to hear. Aria examined Zane's schedule again.

    Aria The dungeon was just as Aria remembers. Zane was back to his duties as king. not many people in the palace have seen him yet. Aria suspected that he didn't want them to. but he couldn't hide forever. those who have seen him were shocked, some were scared. Aria had almost fired a servant who was terrified of Zane's looks but Zane stopped her."Are you sure that you don't need General Radford's help with interrogating them?" Aria asks Zane. Elder Orvyn had gained back his consciousness. but Svend was still passed out. elder Orvyn screamed in fear when he saw his colleague's swollen face. 'this could be you.' Aria thought as she watched Elder Orvyn distancing himself from his friend who hit him. She wonders if he appreciates the fact that he was passed out while Zane beat Svend up. "This is something I want to personally handle," Zane said. he hasn't been able to get any words out of Elder Orvyn."you can't keep me locked up in here." Elder Orvyn said!Aria raised a questioning

    Aria Elder Svend comes out of hiding with a sly grin on his face. Aria and Zane both watch him as he claps his hands together as though he just came out of an amazing movie theater. He was being annoying. "That was so sweet. the two of you know how to put on a great show." he continued clapping and pretended as though he was wiping a tear off his face because of how touched he was. "what are you doing?" Elder Orvyn asks, Svend. he came out of hiding with an angry look on his face. "can't you see what I'm doing?" elder Svend asks, "I'm clapping, it been over a hundred years since I last saw an entertaining love tale like theirs, so full of sickening emotions, I'm too old to feel anything like that," he said in irritation.

    Aria 'he's afraid.' Aria thought. after listening to Zane, she understood the fears she saw in his eyes. the fear of being accepted as though all his life he had lived like an outcast even though he was King Kaida's son. something like that wasn't going to disappear in one day just because she told him that she loved him. even if Zane could hear the truth in her words, he would prefer to isolate himself and believe in what he had always believed all his life. it was his way of safeguarding his heart. his way of living. 'I need to bring him out of it.' Aria thought sadly. if she left him like this, he wasn't going to change. he won't want to change. Aria thought that Zane was no different from a blind man if he continued like this. he got his sight back but he still wanted to remain in darkness. his darkness. something he had unconsciously created for himself without knowing. 'I need to be gentle, let him know that he can trust me instead of assuming that he was going to trust me.'
