The mischievous and playful seventh prince, Asher ran towards the princes resting area to inform the others of the news he had heard about a young lady caught spying on the third prince, Liam. He could not believe his ears when he heard the news that someone actually had the audacity to go to the third prince's chamber to spy on him despite being aware of the kind of person the third prince was. Even he, did not have the gut to go to the third prince's chamber without his permission. Among his six stepbrothers, he was really scared of the third prince because of his icy demeanor and plus, the third prince had always isolated himself from them making it difficult for them to even have a proper conversation with him but someone dared to spy on him. He could bet that person was probably dead by now, knowing the third prince's temper, he doubt the person would be able to leave the grand castle alive.

"Big news!" Asher shouted the moment he entered the resting area causing the four princes sitted on the sofa to turn to look at him.

"Hey, easy." Hadriel, the sixth prince said as he stood up to pat Asher's back who was still trying to catch his breath.

"Tell us, what news have you heard this time?" Amory, the first prince asked. He knew Asher was here to break the news he heard probably from the maidservants.

"You won't believe this." Asher said still trying to catch his breath.

"What?" Hadriel asked as he was eager to know what Asher had heard.

"A young lady was caught spying on the third prince." He finally broke the news to them.

Logan, the second prince snorted after hearing the news Asher had broken to them. "What? Someone was caught spying on Liam?" His lips curled to a smirk.

Asher nodded his head answering his question.

"Who is she?" Helios, the fourth prince who looked less surprised than the others asked.

"Er. . . I did not ask about her identity." The moment his maidservants had broken the news to Him, he forgot to ask about her identity as all he was thinking was to rush here and break the unbelievable news to them.

Hadriel clicked his tongue as he let out a disappointed sigh. "You should have asked. I knew it, i knew you were going to give an incomplete news. Where is Gavin? He is the only one who can tell us the identity of the young lady caught spying on the third prince."

Asher twisted his face at what Hadriel had just said, at least he told them the news they were not aware of.

"Speak of the devil, Gavin is here already." Amory said as Gavin entered the resting area with a handfan.

"Were you talking about me?" Gavin, the fifth prince stopped as he looked at them.

"Have you heard of the news about a young lady caught spying on Liam?" Asher asked.

"Yes." Gavin replied shortly as he smiled and began fanning himself with the handfan.

"Who is she?" Hadriel was the one to ask this time.

"I heard that she is the oldest daughter of the Roy's family but i don't know her." Gavin replied.

"Audree?" Helios furrowed his brows as he could not believe his ears.

"Do you know her?" Logan asked, looking at Helios.

The other princes also shifted their gaze to him, waiting for his reply.

"Not really." Helios answered then turned to face Gavin. "Was it really Audree?" He asked to be sure if he was not mistaken.

"If she is the Roy's oldest daughter then yes, it was her." Gavin answered.

Helios shook his head in debelief. "That can not be true." He knew Audree, she was not the type of person to do such. They could probably be mistaken, Audree would never do such a thing.

"Why do you say that?" Hadriel could not help but ask because Helios had spoken as though he knew the Roy's oldest daughter personally.

"She is a gentle and well-behaved lady that is why i find it difficult to believe that she was caught spying at the third prince." Helios explained.

"I pity the poor lady, Liam would definitely punish her." Asher said then he suddenly gasped as though he just remembered something. "Ah, i also heard he wielded a sword at her, we all know what happened to those people he wielded a sword at in the past." Asher shook his head in pity for the young lady who had just lost her life today.

"Poor lady, if she had spied on me instead she wouldn't have lost her life." Gavin commented as he clicked his tongue.

"Why are you two speaking as if she is dead already?" Amory asked. Even though, he had also heard rumours about the third prince, he doubted Liam would kill her.

"He wielded a sword at her that means she is literally dead." Asher answered.

"Don't jump into conclusion." Amory said as he paused for a while before he continued. "Why don't we all check if she is dead or not?" He suggested.

Logan sighed lazily. "Whatever happens to her is none of my business."

"I'll go with you." Helios stood up from his seat and followed Amory. Gavin, Hadriel and Asher also followed them leaving only Logan in the resting area.

Logan let out a loud sigh as he watched them leave. "Why do they even care if she dies or not? Why don't everyone mind their business?" He let out a deep groan as he sluggishly got up from his seat and left the place.

Gavin placed his hands on Hadriel and Asher's shoulder. "I am curious, how did Helios know about the Roy's oldest daughter when i don't?" He was really curious to know how Helios knew about Audree when he didn't. He had thought he knew most of the women in the Kingdom but it seems like he was wrong.

Back To The Consultation Chamber.

When the princess finished her statement, May's mouth slightly opened as she could not believe what she had just from this young lady. She was in the kingdom of the great what? How did she get here? How? Why? Then it began to make sense, the ancient dressing, the sword, the chamber, the guards in armour, the tall buildings, it all made sense now. She was. . . . She was in an ancient Kingdom. This was unbelievable, how. . . Just how on earth did she get here?

Princess Ingrid turned to face the King. "My King, i strongly suggest the Roy's oldest daughter to be flogged hundred strokes as it was written as the punishment for anyone who disrespect the royal family." She said.

"My King, have mercy on my daughter." Sir Roy immediately bowed, pleading for mercy.

Princess Ingrid frowned as she glared at Sir Roy then she faced the King. "My King, grant me the permission to carry out the punishment."

May pursed her lips into thin line. She had not even dealt with the fact that she was mysteriously transported here and this young lady wanted her to be flogged hundred strokes? She should as well just take a sword and kill her instead. She then looked at the young man who had not said a word since she entered this room. Was he mute or something? She let out a loud sigh and said. "What's going on here? Is this a drama or what?"

"Did you hear that? She feel no remorse for her action that is the more reason why she needs to be punished that way she would know that disrespecting the royal family is a grave crime." The Princess added as she glared at May.

"Grave crime." The third prince sneered causing everyone to shift their gaze at him. "I seriously do not understand why you are so worked up on this issue as though you were the one she spied on and for your information, you have no right to punish her." His deep voice echoed in the chamber.

"W. . What?" Ingrid stuttered as she clenched her fists. "She should. . . ."

"She should be flogged hundred strokes? There will be no punishment as such." The third prince cut her off, walking towards May.

May smiled when she heard what the prince had just said then she looked at the Princess' angry face, her smile widened even more as she clicked her tongue loudly at the Princess provoking her even more. She then arched a brow when the third prince stopped a step away from her but the moment she saw his lips curled to a devilish smirk, her smile immediately faded as she knew he was up to no good.

"However, she won't go unpunished." He continued. "She will work as my personal maidservant for seven days, that is my punishment for her." Her eyes widened as she watched him smile at her devilishly. Why does it feel like she had just walked into a trap?

    Her eyes widened as she watched him smile devilishly at her. Why does it feel like she had just walked into a trap? "Eh? You. . . ." "Audree!" Sir Roy called as he cut her off silently telling her to keep quiet. May wanted to protest but then she thought about it. Working as a maidservant for seven days was much better than being flogged but still. . . . But still, she could not bring herself to accept the punishment. The third prince turned to look at the King. "What do you think, my King?" The King heaved a deep sigh. "Well, i guess that is much better than being flogged hundred strokes." "Accept my sincere gratitude, my King." Sir Roy bowed as he thanked the King. King Lucius rose from his seat. "It is now settled. The Roy's oldest daughter, Audree will start working as the Third prince's personal maidservant as from tomorrow. You are all dismissed." The King dismissed them. Princess Ingrid gritted her teeth as she was annoyed at how the third prince didn't allow her to

    Arin drew the curtain opened as the sun shone around the chamber revealing daylight. She turned and looked at her Lady who was still sleeping, she ought to have woken up by now especially when the third prince had punished her to work as his maidservant for seven days. She could not even protest because it was much better than being flogged hundred strokes of cane. That princess Ingrid was really mean, she knew that she had never liked Lady Audree but still, how could she suggest that her Lady should be flogged? Thank goodness, the third prince stepped in and showed her mercy which was unlike him. She had always known him to be the King of no mercy, that was what he was known for in the entire kingdom. Well, he did not exactly show her Lady mercy but at least he still prevented her from being flogged. "Lady Audree, it is time for you to wake up." Arin gently tapped May as she tried to wake her up. May yawned and stretched at the same time, she could not remember the last time she

    "Hallelujah!" She didn't even know when she exclaimed loudly causing Arin and her new bodyguard to be startled. She could finally leave this kingdom, she could finally leave this strange land! 'Oh, ye Love bridge, here i come.' She thought as her lips curved into a smirk and as she was about to climb down from the carriage, Arin stopped her. "Where are you going?" She asked then she looked outside and realised they had gotten to the grand castle. "We are already in front of the grand castle, let's come down." May felt like she had just been pulled down from the clouds of excitement. Why now? Why did they reach the grand castle when she had finally found a way to go back? She climbed down from the carriage as she turned back to see her Love bridge. "It's time for you to enter the grand castle, my lady." Arin informed her. May furrowed her brows as she noticed these two were not coming with her into the grand castle. "Are you two not coming with me to the grand castle?" "I doubt

    Gavin, Hadriel and Asher came out from their study chamber as they heaved a sigh of relief that they finally got to leave the boring class. They really did not like studying but they just have to because it was one of the duties of a prince. A prince must be knowledgeable and perfect in everything he does, that was the standard created for them and they were seriously finding it difficult to keep up with that standard. "Do we always have to attend lessons?" Asher whined as he especially did not like attending those boring classes when he always end up sleeping in class as he didn't understand what the teachers teach. "Let's skip class next time." Gavin suggested. "I'm sure the old man is already tired of seeing our faces since we keep repeating his class." He nonchalantly added causing Asher and Hadriel to laugh at what he had just said. And as they kept walking, they saw May a.k.a Audree heading towards their direction and they did not know why they momentarily halted when they

    It was evening already. Arin and Lennon climbed down from the carriage as they waited for May a.k.a Audree to come out from the grand castle. May came out from the grand castle looking so exhausted. The head maidservant had made sure she washed dirty dishes all day without resting. Her legs were weak and her neck felt stiff from standing while washing those dirty dishes. How dare her treat a top star that way? She held her neck as she whimpered in pain. "Lady Audree!" Arin called but immediately frowned when she saw her Lady holding her neck as though she was in pain, she ran to her. "What is it? Why is your ear so red?" Arin asked in a worried manner as she touched May's ear. "Is it not that mean head maidservant, she dragged my ear." May whined like a baby as she reported the head maidservant to Arin. "That mean head maidservant, how dare her drag my Lady's ear? Don't worry, when we get home, I'll massage your body for you. Come, let's go home." Arin held her waist as she le

    And at that moment May was about to fall into the river, Liam reached down and grabbed her at the waist, pulling her up into the saddle with him. May who was just pulled into the saddle was stunned by the Third prince's sudden action and she stared at him with wide eyes. And as their eyes met, she momentarily forgot how to breathe as she kept staring into those mesmerising eyes of his that she found it really hard to avert her gaze from him. It was as if she was trapped in his gaze and there was no way out. Looking at him up close, she realised just how beautiful this man was, he was just too gorgeous, too beautiful to be true that she found it really unfair how this one man could look this perfect. She subconsciously clung tightly as he continue riding for a bit before halting the horse. She was transfixed as she looked intently at his face, giving him a questioning look on why he halted when he suddenly dumped her on the ground. Heh, such a heartless prince! "Ouch!" May immedia

The King's second concubine cuddled the little prince, Asher on her lap. Headteacher Ralph was here to give reports about the princes' study to the King. It was more like an annual report whereby the headteacher would give reports on the princes performance for that year whether they did well in their studies or not. On a norms, this annual report was only meant to be heard by the King but today, the King had instructed his children and his wives to be gathered to hear the report.

    "Lady Audree, wake up. You do not want to be late on your second day as the Third prince's maidservant." Arin gently tapped May as she tried to wake her up. May opened her eyes and yawned but she frantically got up from the bed the moment she realised she had slept for long that she had totally forgotten about her plan to escape from the house at midnight. Now she would have to work as a maidservant again today. "Why did you sleep for so long?" She questioned herself. "There is no need to blame yourself, just go and take your bath." Arin said as she held May's hand to lead her to the bath pool but May pushed her back and said. "I am not going to that grand castle, let that heartless prince do his worse." She folded her arms as she had decided not to go to the grand castle. She was not going to suffer for a crime she did not commit. "Those people made me wash dirty dishes all day, only heaven knows what they are going to make me do today. No, I will not go to that place, let th

    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

  • DIVE INTO YOU   That Was The First Time

    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.

    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

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.

    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.
