"Eli." That was the third time that he calls for my name. His face is writhing and and squirming as if he is having a nightmare. I stretched my hand to reach for his forehead. I wanted to wipe the sweat off that part of his body but before I could even do that. I heard noises from outside of his room. I turned my head to the close door and saw the rattling of the doorknob. Someone's about to open the door. I started to panic. No one should see me her, if they do then I am screwed. I don't have a single idea on how I'll be able to explain to them my reason for sneaking in the commander knight's room while he was sleeping. Averi hold my pulse. I was too close to shouting out of shock when he covered my mouth with his hand. My eyes grew bigger when I saw him wide awake, not just that. He looks like he is in a better condition now. He placed his forefinger on his mouth, telling me to keep my mouth shout and to follow him. Quickly, he dragged me to his bathroom. Just in time when he clo
I sit up straight before my dresser where I am currently stilled while Bethy is drying my hair. Bethy is technically Marthe's underling. It's their first time to work for the same person which is me but they have known each other ever since.I was anxious earlier this morning that my lady-in waiting will end up telling Marthe how we snuck in Averi's room. I have been watching her since then but it seems like her tongue is guarded. For now, I can be at ease. "The polo game will be hold in honour of the late Arryn City Football Club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, today, April 24, 2022. People expects her Grace and His Majesty to visit the club ground's to honour Srivaddhanaprabha and three others who were killed in a helicopter crash nearby," Marthe said. She handed her ipod to one of the woman under her and she silently watch me as I opened my YSL lipstick. I am currently looking for a perfect shade that will go well with the L.K Bennett's Madison dress in pink silk chiffon.The dres
Bethy and Marthe was about to enter my quarter as well when I stopped walking, halting their incoming movement. The two look surprise and caught off-guard as I drive them away by taking two steps forward. With a questioning look on their orbs. The two take a step back. I hold the handle of the door and put on a smile on my lips. "I would like to be alone. I am not feeling well. I-I might skip dinner," I told them in advance just so they would no longer come knocking at my door when it's dinner time. I would rathe starve myself than show up at the dining hall after what happened in the polo match. I appreciate you looking after her but refrain yourself, Averi. It's my job to look after her, is it not? We don't want the people who sees you two paint the both of you with malice.I breathe deeply and lightly shakes my head. I keep hearing those words of Orius. It's making me anxious and driving me on the edge of my sanity. I was so confident that Marthe would be the only person who'll
I took the pitcher from Bethy's hand just when she was about to pour the freshly squeeze lemon juice to Malik's crystal glass. At first, she was hesitant to let me do the serving but through the encouragement that my eyes are giving her. She sighs in defeat and handed me the pitcher. I subtly move my hand to shove her away as well those palace maids standing meters away from us. They are stationed there just in case Malik and I needs something, they can easily come to us and provide but I think. If there's anything my brother and I needs. It's privacy. "Your lady-in waiting is cute. I like her. On the second thought she is perfection. The word cute does not do justice in describing her," he commented. Malik's eyes are after Bethy's. He is particularly watching how her butt moves as she walks away. "Hey, stop staring at her like that. She is a good friend of mine and I don't like that you are sexualizing her." I hit his head with my hand before I continue to pour in the juice on his
I fucking need to stop thinking about that thing. Averi used to be Arryn's crown prince and supposedly. He is the one that I am bound to marry but for some reason he gave up his birth right and he decided that he wants to become their commander knight instead of having an absolute right to rule over the kingdom and the people here. That is the thing of the past and I should not bother myself with it, but at the back of my mind. I want to agree to Malik. Averi is the perfect cut for the royal title that Orius holds."Y-Your Grace, are you okay? Or are you feeling sick again?" Bethy asked. I immediately move my head to the side as a response to her question. Muscle on her face relaxes upon hearing that. She gestures me the way to the dining hall. Malik is a good cook, I think he is a better cook than the royal chef that we have in Fenrys. He prepared tonight's meal and I am looking forward to taste his specialty.Breathe in and breathe out. I shake my hand as if it's going to help me s

"Elide, we have something that we need to talk and sort out because it's not good to keep secret from your fiancé and future husband," Orius whispered in my ears. His hand finally let go of my shoulder and then he took a step back. Allowing me to see his face. His eyes darkened. Orius is gritting his teeth but he managed to made it look like as if he is smiling lovingly at me. "I'll wait for you in the study hall," he said. Orius tilted his head to the side to give himself a look at his brother through his peripheral vision. When sated at his stolen glimpses, he look back at me before he walk pass through me, leading the way to the study hall. And though he didn't say anything about following him immediately. I knew that he expects me to run after him. Averi waited for his brother to vanish himself in the hall way before he approaches me. He harshly grabs the boquet of ecuadorian roses from my hand. He throw it straight to the floor. "You are severely allergic to any type of roses
"Kaith why is that when the crown prince visited your suite. Your eyes are blazing in hatred. I know for a fact that you like someone else and you are not the first royalty to feel that way but why do you hate him that much? You look at him like how your late father looks at your mother, disgusted by them.I never knew I have something that is running on my head until I saw Mirren silently clapping her hand for my attention. I subtly blink my eyes and that's when I realize that I am in the middle of press conference for Hera Beauty. I looked down on the microphone that I have on my hand and to the people around me. They seem like they are waiting for me to answer something. I wish I have an idea what that question is all about but unfortunately. I didn't get to hear it and I don't have an idea what the hell it is. "Miss Kaith." A female reported wearing a black Chanel tweed blazer calls for my attention. She is probably the one who asks me the question that I won't be able to answe
