Aria pov"Lady Aria tried to kill me!" Thaisa said in front of everyone. This reminds me of the first day I came to Esterial, when I met prince Zane at the ball they were having to announce the human who had been lucky to be chosen as prince Zane's future bride. On that day, two thrones were set, one for king Kaida and the other for prince Zane. He was resting his chin on his hands as he listens to Thaisa's allegation with all calmness in the world. For a man who had been saving me more times than I could count. He didn't look like he was interested in saving me from this situation. Still, why do I have faith in my heart that he would save me?Right now I could almost hear prince Zane saying to me that he warned me but I didn't listen. I was an idiot for not listening to him. All the nobles gathered around the throne room along with the Athelstan royal family. While many puzzles in Thaisa's words, king Edward and queen Malika, wanted me dead as much as their rotten daughter did. Di
Aria pov"Liar!" Princess Thaisa shouted, "Aria is lying." That's lady Aria to you. "She had never been faithful to prince Zane. Prince Zane and her don't even like each other. They don't sleep on the same bed." "Princess Thaisa!" King Kaida was getting furious. Laying false accusations against me was one thing but against prince Zane was unacceptable."My king, I'm saying the truth, prince Zane told me this himself." King Kaida gaze at his son who was still relaxed. He didn't even care that Thaisa spilled out one of his precious secrets and I knew why."Father, I don't know what princess Thaisa is talking about, she seems to have a wild imagination." It doesn't matter what princess Thaisa said against prince Zane. His words will always be chosen over hers. "But you told me that you have never been with her. There were no sexual relations between the two of you, and you make her sleep on the floor every single night." Not every night. I thought back to some days we slept on the
Aria pov"My lady you seem to be in a good mood today." I was humming one of my favorite songs. I can't remember the last time I sang this song. Somehow after my unfortunate_ no I won't say unfortunate, it was fortunate that I was able to break up with alpha Bryant. He was too toxic for me, other than that he never once cared about me. After I broke up with him. It felt as though all the things I had in my life during the times I was with him no longer exist. Like a part of me that went away with him. But today was different. Today everything felt like it didn't matter."Are you this happy because lady Brunhilda, decided to end the lessons for today early?" "You could say that." Most of the happiness I was feeling was because princess Thaisa was no longer in Esterial. I can't remember the last time anyone mentioned her or say anything about her. I wonder if I was allowed to be this happy. Maybe if I was too happy I might jinx things for myself. But there were so many good things go
Aria pov"There you are, Brian." Alpha Bryant said as he walked up to Brian. He looks like he was angry. "Didn't I tell you not to wander around this place by yourself?""I'm sorry alpha Bryant. I was just intrigued." "Well, I don't care. Let's go." This was the first time I have seen Bryant ever since I left the pack. He was looking the same with some slight differences. There was some stubble over his chin, he had not been shaving like he always like to. Somehow he looks like the alpha Bryant I know but at the same time he looks different, like a fully grown man, stronger than before. "I said let's go. Why do you keep looking back, what are you looking for?" "It's nothing, it's not even possible. she wouldn't be here." I hid as I watch them. I was glad that I was in a noisy environment, if I was the only one around these two I would have been caught. Thank goodness Esterial kingdom was full of busy people. "She?" Bryant asks, "look, Brian. I'm already having a shitty day, the
Aria pov"Where is your father?" I asked Prince ZaneAs though he already knew that I was following him. He ignores me and my question and continues talking with Aidan. "Have they decided to accept my father's offer?" He asked Aidan. Aidan was staring intensely at the document that was in his hand. "They accepted but made a few hidden changes in the contract that we send to them. I think they thought since they were dealing with you, there was no way you could read out what was in the contract." "Let me deal with them, my prince," Nadia said. Between the twins, Nadia looks like she was harsher than her brother. Aidan looks like the calm type of guy but then again looks could be deceiving. "No. It's fine, leave them. Go through the changes they made and tell me about them later. It seems as though there is something I need to take care of." Prince Zane steps into a place that looks like King Kaida's office, only that there was a big difference. It was darker. I knew the guy was
Aria povWhat am I going to do? If what those maids were saying about alpha Bryant and beta Brian coming into the palace were true then I'm in trouble. My body twisted and turned around the bed. A frown was on my face as I thought to myself. Sleeping had been easy for me before Alpha Bryant came here. I had slept on the floor and found it comfortable but now I can't sleep because of all the possibilities that were running through my head. The door to the room opened. Immediately I closed my eyes without thinking, I have been so lost in thought that I didn't hear any footsteps.The light in the room was dim as I opened my eyes a little and saw only Prince Zane. He wasn't with his two guard dogs. I secretly watch him as he silently went into the bathroom. I didn't even understand what I was doing. Why was I pretending as though I was sleeping when I was awake, it wasn't as though I had done anything wrong to make me afraid of Prince Zane. "I know you are awake lady Aria. So drop the
Aria pov"My lady. Wake up, my lady." I groan as I grudgingly opened my eyes to look at Erika. She was smiling brightly at me. What was that smile all about? The little happiness I was starting to have in Esterial would be gone very soon."Why are you all smiley," I asked Erika. It was kind of irritating that she was happy while I'm not."I'm just happy that you slept well, my lady." There was a tease in her voice.My face turn into a frown as I tried to understand what she was talking about. I was laying down on the bed. But that was nothing new. Prince Zane must have probably moved me to the b... Wait a minute. The bed, I never left the bed last night, and my body didn't feel sore so that must mean that my beloved fiance didn't ruthlessly push me to the floor. "Why are you so quiet my lady, are you thinking about Prince Zane?" Why the heck would I be thinking about him?"Missing him already even though you two spend the whole night cuddling together in each other arms."That can'
Aria povErika is gone. I never knew that she was going to believe that I was sick. My fake sickness that popped out of nowhere even though I was feeling fine minutes ago wasn't convincing. But still, Erika offered to help by going to welcome alpha Bryant and beta Brian in my stands. I didn't understand her reasons for helping me, whatever it was, I was grateful for the help she could offer.Laying down on the bed all day wasn't going to help me get out of the current situation at hand. Prince Zane is the reason for all this mess. Why was he so interested in knowing things about me? Why couldn't he just stick his nose in his royal affairs and left it there? It was bad that Alpha Bryant and Brian were in Esterial, things have become worst now that they were going to live in the palace.I got out the bed and changed out of the gown Erika had forced me to wear so that I could impress Prince Zane's guest, the gown was heavy and uncomfortable, too fancy, too shiny, and I can't move around
