'Why do i feel she is taking advantage of me?' He thought. He had to rush back to meet Gavin and Asher before they realise he was missing. "Can you please let me go?" She raised her head to look at him. "If i end up fainting, will you be responsible for that?" "Eh? Why would..." "That's it. I told you i will get better just staying this way with you, why then do you want me to let go of you?" She cut him off and then rested her head back on his chest. She smiled knowing that the Sixth prince could no longer say anything to push her away. Just staying this way, she could feel how muscular he was, she could even hear his heart beat. Shame on those people who spread rumours about him being a lazy prince, they don't know anything. She would have to stop believing those stupid rumours. Hadriel sighed as he did not even know how to make her let go of him. What has he gotten himself into? "Lady, i am in a hurry." He said, hoping she would let him go. "So am i." "...." "If you are in a
Liam and May got to the Third prince's chamber and as they entered the chamber, May could not help but admire how luxurious yet cosy and warm the chamber was despite being made of hardwoods. She didn't expect the Third prince's chamber to look this way, she had expected his chamber to be dark and somewhat dull-looking but it was the complete opposite of what she had expected. 'The Third prince does have taste.' She thought to herself as she kept admiring the beautiful chamber. Liam crossed his arms as he watched the pretty young lady admiring his chamber and that made him wonder why she kept looking around as though it was her first time here. That day when she had suddenly popped out of his spring, he still could not figure out how she got to his spring. There was no way she would have passed through his chamber without being caught by the guards. He was really curious to know why and how she appeared at his spring but he decided not to ask her about it, now was probably not the rig
"You've just been caught." His deep voice distracted her from her silly thoughts. "W..w..What do you mean?" She stuttered. "You've just been caught thinking dirty." He said, flashing that darn smile at her. May swallowed hard knowing that she had truly been caught. "N..n..No!" She denied as she quickly got up from his lap. "What do you take me for?" Liam purred and arched a brow as he watched her deny his claim. "Your face is so reddened like a cooked lobster, isn't it obvious you were thinking dirty while drooling at my perfect body?" He spoke with so much certainty as though he was sure she had dirty thoughts while staring at his body. Her mouth hung open as she tried to find words to deny his claim. How could he. . . . "When did i?" Those were the only words that managed to come out from her mouth. "Alright, if you say you didn't then I'll believe you." She heard him say and that earned a sigh of relief from her. "You are not going to keep standing there, are you? You ne
Liam who was suddenly pulled by the collar stilled at her sudden action, staring into those mesmerising eyes of hers. His mind went blank as he did not even know how to react. He stared at her eyes almost lost in her gaze not until his eyes involuntarily stared down at her lips. Her lips looked so enticing as though begging to be kissed by him. Liam swallowed hard as he suddenly felt a slight tension begin to build within his muscles as the urge to kiss those lips began to overwhelm him. Lord, he could not believe the way his body was reacting merely staring at her lips. He struggled to stifle the urge but the more he struggled, the more overwhelming that urge became. It was as if his body was no longer cooperating with him and before he knew it, he found himself slowly lowering his head to kiss her, to have a taste of those enticing wet lips of hers. And just as his lips were about to touch hers, he suddenly froze as though he had just been jolted back to his senses. 'Heavens! What wa
Gavin and Asher were back from their hunting, they didn't even hunt any animal as Asher was too scared to stay in the forest after hearing a wolf's growl so they decided to return to the grand castle. "I wonder where Hadriel is, he did not return with us to the grand castle." Asher spoke upon realising Hadriel had not been with them. "He probably went to hunt, I'm sure he'll be back soon." Gavin said, assuring him not to worry about the Sixth prince. Asher sighed loudly. "Then, I'll go to my chamber." He said and left to his chamber. Just as Asher left, Gavin went back to the large shooting range where the Princes had practiced archery. He walked to where the Sixth prince shot his target. After seeing how the Sixth prince had held his bow and aimed at the wolf's heart in just one go, he could not help but begin to doubt the Sixth prince. He could not even hit the bull's eye yet he could aim at the wolf's heart with just a shot. Was it to call that luck? Or, Had Hadriel been pre
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
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 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
