"We have arrived your highness and your grace," Radj announced seconds after the car stops in front of the palace. He unfastened his seatbelt and so I did it with mine. I could no longer wait for the palace guards to come and open the door by my side so I did it myself. Before I left the car. I saw Orius smirking at me. I tried to maintain my grace and poise as I rush inside, accommodating everyone inside that I walk pass through because I don't want a rumor about me being rude to the palace made and staff to begin and fly until these so called fake news reaches Fenrys. The least thing that I need to be at is on my mother and brother's bad side because I need them in order for me to escape this arrangement. I am currently standing on the first step of the grandstaircase with my hand on the golden railing when Bethy calls addresses me. My grasp on the railing tighten. What is it that they want from me now? I thought that the press conference for Hera Beauty which I managed to pull
Holding my nude color four inch pumps on my left hand. I continue to walk through the maze garden with the route that I have managed to memorize since the first time that I have been here. After I had that talk with my mother. I don't feel good and I kinda want to hide myself from everyone else. If I went straight to my room. I figured out that Queen Orla will barge in that suite of mine. I have told her disrespectful words and though she was speechless when I left her by herself down the hall. I knew that we are not really done with that conversation and that's what I am trying to avoid. Before I left Fenrys for Arryn. We already have a big gap between us and tonight, it became bigger. As a daughter that still years for a mother figure that I really didn't get to have while growing up. The last that I want to happen is for a relationship to completely crumble and to widen the gap between the two of us to the point where we can no longer see each other, where are relationship would b
I shut my eyes as tight as I could and didn't dare to open them again until silence fell completely on all the corners of my room. Just when I thought that Queen Orla left my room and I was about to open my eyes. I heard her sarcastic laugh. My mother's voice is filled with control anger. She is not just mad at what happened, she is fed up by my little tricks. "How about you stop your little drama and get up this instant?" Her voice sounds like she's sweetly asking me to do her command but her eyes, it's fiery. If I didn't know better. I will be fooled that she is not mad at me. I did my best not to make further movements with my eyes but no matter how hard I try. The lid of my eyes shakes violently. "Elide!" She finally lost her cool facade. The Queen harshly grab the duvet off my body. I was left with no choice but to open my eyes and sit up on my bed. Queen Orla gritted her teeth. She vent out her anger and frustration by crumpling the duvet that she later on throws back on my
The first thing that I want to do with this limited hours of freedom that my brother gave me is to experience what it's like to be part of a party. Party that's the total opposite of the one we held in Palace. I want to be in a party like those in movies and series. I wiggle my eyebrows as I waited for him to give me his answer. Malik may be a responsible prince and royalty every sunrise but when the sun set and darkness starts spreading like a wild fire all over the place, Malik becomes a party animal. It's his dirty little secret that he only shares with me. Not even the all-knowing Queen mother of us knows about it. Malik being the perfect son has something to do with the Queen trusting and having fate in him the way she trust and have fate on our heavenly father. "But you're too—""Too, what? Too young?" I scoffed. I rolled my eyes on him and rested my head on the back of my shotgun seat. "How can I be too young to attend a rave party but not too young to get married?" I asked h
Just like that. My feet became capable of moving on their own. I don't have an idea why I'm following this man like he's my guardian and I'll be completely lost if I fail to keep his track.With my head down. The only thing that I can see is the movement of his feet. I was seconds late when I realize that he stopped moving. I bumped my forehead on his back. I felt it, his body is as hard as mountain rocks. This man's body is built to last in any situation and condition, almost like a medieval knight's body. My hand crawl up on my forehead. I start rubbing it unconsciously while my eyes are still pasted on the man before me. He tilted his head and took a threatening step towards me. Quickly, I took a step back but he keeps on coming forward, cutting our distance till I finally lost my balance. I was certain that I will fall on the ground so when my body didn't hit the floor full of small marbles that will surely hurt and bruish me. I gaze up on the man who's passionately holding my
My lips gasped for air. The man that is all over my body didn't let me get the air that my body is begging for. I don't have a single idea what it is that's happening to me, my body, mind and soul but there's something that I am certain about right now. I am enjoying this. I love how this man dominates me and my body as if my body is destined and has always been his. He knows how to make me feel alive and the the jolts of electricity everytime he rub his skin against mine and his hand caresses my legs up to my thigh is heavenly. He nibbles and laps my lips. My lips are all swollen because he won't stop devouring it, not even for a moment to allow ourselves to breathe. I don't want him to stop either, and everytime I tried to kiss him with the same intensity and ferocity. He's drawing a little and dangerous looking smirk on his lips and he will proceed to kiss me better, setting the bar a little to high everytime he claims me. "Ohh!" That erotic sound came out of my lips unexpectedly
If there's someone in that party who enjoyed every bits of it. It has to be Malik. I remember looking at him all over the house, it took me nearly an hour before I have found him in one of the room in the villa, dressing up. Apparently, that royal brother of mine did what I couldn't do last night because it strips the hell out if my body. We are on our way back to the Fenrys Palace, quarter after four am. Malik personally sent me to my room. He even waited for me to get change into my sleeping gown, tuck me to bed and then he leaves. It has been three hours and I could not sleep a wink. Whatever happens in that villa, stays in there but I couldn't quite pull myself together to forget about it. How am I supposed to forget the face of the man whom I almost surreder myself too? Especially when he makes me feel so alive with his touches? I rolled to the other side of my bed and continue to do it until I fell on the ground. I sit up on the tiled floor of my room and rested my head on my
I could hear my heart near my ear as the private jet descended from the sky. I delved my fingers inside of my flap bag, searching for a circular compact mirror. When I find it. I immediately checked myself. Mela is right. I do look tired and this light make-up of mine wouldn't be enough to hide these dark circles under my eyes. I did enjoy my escapade last night. It was memorable but if someone is capable of giving me a second chance to do it again. I won't. I would choose to stay in the palace all night long and sleep. "Radj?" I turned my head to the officer of internal affair. The private jet has landed and everyone inside are preparing to leave the jet, except for me. I need a ten minutes break from everyone before I come down and greet everyone who is waiting for me. The old man walks to my side. He looks very much accommodating of me and my need. Whatever it is that I am going to ask from him. I feel like he has the power to provide and serve it before my eyes with just a snap

"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
"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
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

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
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 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
