May came out from the library carrying the books the Fourth prince had picked for her. She turned back and looked at the Fourth prince standing at the entrance of the library then she flashed a small smile at him before finally taking her leave. Now heading to the Third prince's lounge, she could only sigh knowing that there was another petty errand waiting for her. Can't the Third prince be nice to her? She was not used to being ordered, no, she was the one who gave orders to people but now, she was being ordered and she was seriously exhausted even when she had not even done anything yet. This was really frustrating especially now that she could not go back to her world. She had put all her hope on Love bridge and it failed her. Could there be another bridge in this Kingdom that could be a link to her world? As she kept thinking about the possibilities of being another bridge that could take her back to her world, she failed to see the Seventh prince coming. Asher sighed as he lo
They stood there staring at each other, none of them said a word as they were both flustered at what had just happened, or maybe she was the only one who was flustered. It happened so fast that May could not even begin to process what had just happened or how it had happened, all she knew was that she.... she had just kissed him! No, it was a mistake, it was not typically a kiss, their lips only brushed against each other. She could not even tell what the Third prince was thinking as he had an expressionless look on his face. Heh, she would just break this awkward silence and tell him it was a mistake. As she opened her mouth to speak, he beat her to it. "Did you just make a move on me?" He asked as his lips curved into a devilish smile ready to tease her once again. "What?!" She exclaimed shocked at what he had just uttered. She could not believe this guy was trying to. . . . Oh, Lord! He was really unbelievable! "You just kissed me." He said as his lips twitched. "I. . . I. .
May had changed into a different cloth the Third prince had given to her. This cloth was much comfortable than her stupid long gown, at least she could walk freely without falling. She furrowed her brows at how she kept following the Third prince, she did not know where he was taking her. She had tried to ask him but trust the annoying prince, he didn't answer her so she could only quietly follow him. He stopped when they got to a large stable, she was in awe at how large and how numerous the horses were but she still could not understand why they were in the stable. Was the Third prince planning on going out? Then, why did he bring her here? A middle aged man came out from a stall and bowed at the Third prince. "Your Highness." He bowed as he paid his respect to the Prince. "Are you going out? I will prepare a horse for you." The middle aged man said. "Never mind." He replied, moving to a particular stall and when he got there, he began to gently stroke the horse in that stal
"Is it okay if i tell you to be with me? Is it really okay if i ask you to stay with me?" He said, raising his hand to caress her gorgeous face but then his hands hung in midair stopping himself knowing that he did not deserve to have her by his side, knowing that he..... he really does not deserve to have someone this adorable by his side. He let out a soft sigh as he got up and left the dining chamber. And just as the Third prince left, May finally opened her eyes, she had actually woken up when the Third prince touched her hair but she just didn't open her eyes. She blinked as she could not believe what she had just heard from the Third prince. Could it be that the Third prince had really fallen for her? How? When? Why? He was never nice to her, he had always made her do petty errands for him, could he have been treating her that way because of his feelings for her? No, that made no sense. Even when she had heard him said those words to her, she still could not believe it, it was
"Come out." Liam ordered as he unsheathed his sword. May gripped her gown tightly as she swallowed hard. There was no one there except the two of them so that meant he was talking to her. She bit her lower lip as she did not think she could face the prince after what she had just witnessed him do to those people. "I know you are hiding there, come out before i lose my patience." Liam warned as he turned and looked at the direction May was hiding. May knew it was too late for her, he already knew she was here and she would only make him angry if she kept hiding. She took a deep breath as she slowly came out from her hiding place. And as she came out from her hiding place, the Third prince was shocked to find out the person hiding there was May but he soon put on that devilish smirk of his. "I thought it was someone else hiding there but it turns out to be you." He started. "You must have followed me here, i am beginning to believe what that git said to me." He added and chuckl
In the morning, May woke up earlier than the time she used to just so she could get to the grand castle early. She knew that she might not find the Third prince at the grand castle if she arrived there late. She had to meet him there, that was the only way she could be able to apologise to him. Arin and Lennon were both surprised to see their Lady woke up early and got ready to leave for the grand castle on time. Her strange behaviour prompted Arin to ask if there was something exciting happening at the grand castle as she seemed in a hurry to get to the grand castle. Unlike before, she used to grumble and cuss at the Third prince for making her work as a maidservant but today, she neither grumbled nor cussed at the Third prince, she even told the carriage rider to speed up so she could get to the grand castle faster. "Is there a party going on at the grand castle?" Arin asked. "No." May simply replied as she begged the carriage rider once again to speed up. "But you seem to be

As she kept thinking about her previous world how her stepmother and stepsiblings had treated her badly, she was slowly getting lost in her thoughts when she felt his gaze on her and when she looked at him - the Third prince. He quickly averted his gaze from her picking an arrow. She snorted as she said to herself. 'Is he going to keep avoiding me?' The Second and Third prince picked an arrow and kept shooting at their targets, none of them stopping as though they were both competing on who was the best archer between them. "Tsk tsk tsk." Gavin clicked his tongue as he watched them. "We only came here to have fun but these two are already turning it into a competition and the annoying part is that they are both hitting the bull's eye, annoying creatures." He said and his words caused the other Princes to burst into laughter. "The Second prince seem to hold grudges against the Third prince. I notice he always compete with everything the Third prince does." Hadriel spoke in a low wh
May neatly arranged the food she had just prepared on a tray. Although the rice was slightly burnt but she was still confident in her food. She smiled as she stared at the works of art she had just prepared feeling proud of herself. Was there anything she wasn't good at? Even when she obviously had not prepared a meal before in her entire life, she was still able to prepare this delicious-looking work of art even the maidservants looked really astonished by her hidden cooking skills. She bet the Prince would end up licking the plate at how delicious her food was. She smiled again when she was done admiring her food, she carried the tray and headed to the Third prince's lounge. As May left the kitchen, the maidservants who all had a puzzled look on their faces began to murmur at how Lady Audree had almost burnt down the kitchen because she was cooking a strange food for the prince. On getting to the Third prince's lounge, she saw Hadriel, the Sixth prince peeping through the entran
May laid on her bed exhausted at today's activities. It was not as if she even did any chores today, she was just mentally exhausted. As she laid on her mattress, all the events that occured today flashed through her mind. Starting from when she tried to apologise to the Third prince, to when the Third prince shielded her from an arrow, to when she finally apologised, to the Third prince's chamber when he almost..., to the King's chamber and lastly, the large stable. The fact that all these happened in one day, she flushed when she recalled how they had almost kissed and she flushed even deeply when she remembered the words the Third prince had said to her at the stable. ["If that is the case, then keep taking advantage of me. Keep taking advantage of me until you get tired, Ms. Queen of no mercy. You are the only one allowed to take advantage of me."] "You are the only one allowed to take advantage of me." She smiled as she repeated the last words he said to her. "I'm the only one a
The Third prince stood at the large stable, staring at his favourite horse, Amigo. He had wanted to go for a ride to cool off these emotions he was feeling but now that he was here, he no longer had the will to go riding anymore. "Amigo." He called, stroking his horse. And as he stood there, the memories of what happened earlier replayed in his head. He had always been in control of his emotions, he had never showed anyone how pained, hurt and bruised he was but back there, while he watched her defend him, he just lost it. Those emotions he had always hidden, those emotions he had masked within him had just been unmasked by her. That Lady... how does she always manage to bring out that part in him he had thought was long gone? How does she always manage to bring out that self in him he thought he had buried in his heart? Just how? How could he feel this way because of some mere words she had spoken? Was that how lonely he was? Was that how love deprived he was that it felt like
May hopped excitedly still holding the Third prince's hand. She was happy at how she had successfully prevented him from getting punished. She smiled at how she managed to save him this time but as she turned and looked at the Third prince, her smile faded. Unlike her who was hopping in happiness because she saved him, he had a gloomy look on his face and he seemed lost in thoughts. She let go of his hand and cleared her throat to get his attention. "What is it? You don't look happy." Liam looked at the hand she had just let go missing the warmth of her hand. He never knew her hand was that warm until she stopped holding his hand. He raised his head and stared at the young lady giving him a look filled with concerns. May waved her hands at his face when she still did not get a reply from him. "What are you thinking about?" She asked. Seeing him looking all gloomy was just so unlike him, he was not even flashing those annoying smirk of his. "What's your deal?" He fina
A deafening silence reigned in the chamber as they watched the two persons holding hands and staring into each other's eyes. Princess Ingrid clenched her fist tightly that her knuckles had gone white already. Just staring at her holding Liam's hand irked her so much, how dare she... The King thought of what May had said regarding the Third prince. What the young lady said to him bothered him because he knew she was right. He had always had that mindset that the Third prince could harm his brothers. It was all because of that stupid prophecy, it was because of that prophecy that he had always seen the Third prince as a dangerous child that would one day rebel against his brothers and for that reason, he had treated the Third prince differently and ended up being wary of his own son. When did it get to this extent? The King closed his eyes as he felt ashamed of himself. The words the Roy's oldest daughter said to him struck him hard. He opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh. May
The Third prince entered the King's chamber. He met the Queen, Elora, General Nolan, the Crown prince and the Second prince already at the King's chamber. As he entered, they all looked at him as though they had been waiting for his arrival. Liam bowed at them and stood at the center ready to get scolded by them but before they could begin, the Eunuch announced the presence of Princess Ingrid. "Let her in." The King gave his permission and the Eunuch allowed the Princess into the chamber. She bowed and stood beside her brother, Logan. The King stared intently at the Third prince for a while before he began. "It came to my report that you shot an arrow at your brother, Logan. Is that true?" "Yes." Liam simply answered. The King sighed as he had expected that reply from the Prince. "Why did you do that?" Liam arched a brow a bit taken aback by the King's question. In the past, he wouldn't even care to listen to his own side of the story and just ruthlessly punish him but now, did
Amory came back from hunting, carrying two large squirrels he had caught in the forest. He thought he would see the other princes at the forest but he didn't even come across a single one of them and he wondered where they all went. Some of the Crown prince's guards who saw him rushed to where he was and bowed to him. "Your Royal Highness." "You may rise." He said, handing over the two squirrels to one of the guards. "I see you caught two large squirrels, your royal highness." One the guards said to the Prince. The Crown prince smiled and replied. "Well, i just got lucky today." He then turned to the guard he handed the squirrels to. "Take the squirrels to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a delicious meal for my wife." The guards all smiled knowing how much the Crown prince treasured his wife. "Yes, your royal highness." They bowed and as they turned to leave, the Crown prince called them back. "Hold on, where is the Crown princess?" He asked. "She is at her chamber." One

May stood outside the Third prince's chamber waiting for him to come out, he was taking so long just to button his shirt. She sighed as she recalled what happened in the chamber, she was so flustered that she ran out of the chamber. She shook her head. "Let's forget about it." She said to herself, touching her already reddened face. After she had managed to calm down, she looked at the entrance. What on earth was taking him so long? And just as she was about to enter into the chamber, he finally came out already dressed. His hair were slightly wet as though he had just taken a shower. Was he taking a shower all this while she was waiting for him? "Let's go." He said as he walked past her. She trailed behind, none of them saying a word. They both stopped walking when they heard a voice call the Third prince's name. "Liam!" Eugene called as she ran to him and hugged him. Her action left May's mouth opened in surprise. Who on earth was this person that could hug the Third prince t
