Jasmine’s P.O.V.*Huff*I am tired.Tossing the orange into the already filled basket, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and crouched down to pick up the fruits that were scattered on the ground.“Watching a Princess working is extremely a heart-wrenching scene.”A deep voice echoed from behind which made me turn to the owner of that voice. A handsome man dressed in royal dark blue attire was leaning against the tree with his hands crossed over his chest while his eyes stared at me with pity.Princess?My heart clenched painfully inside my chest. Rose is right. I am always blaming her for my situation but the truth is that it’s all because of my stupid feelings. I crossed my boundaries and tricked a Prince thinking he would love me back.Brushing off those thoughts, I looked at him, “You mistook me, Sire. I am just a peasant.”I answered him politely only to earn a dry chuckle.“That’s a misconception. You don’t know your true identity, Jasmine.”‘How does he know my name?’My head sn
Diana’s P.O.V.I am tired of this.Fisting my gown, I averted my gaze from the captor who had been singing praises of his kingdom for the past thirty minutes. His presence itself was making me go bananas. I have never talked to Theodore my whole life and we didn’t even have any sort of interactions in the past. That was one of the reasons why our proximity was suffocating me but he was way too comfortable.Considering his brother’s suggestion, we made for Augustea Dynasty. Since then that man got verbal diarrhea. And I couldn’t do anything except listen to him rambling about his kingdom.Frustrated, I shifted my attention towards the window when my eyes spotted a familiar figure.‘Jasmine?’What is she doing here?I then looked at Theodore who was busy narrating the heroic stories of his ancestors.“Uhmm, I saw Jasmine here.” I purposely temporized to see his reaction. Which did work as Theodore instantly stiffened by her mention, his eyes widening in shock.“What? What is she doing h
Inside Theo Palace"Congratulations, the Queen is blessed with the future heir of the Theo Dynasty."Reina exclaimed and rushed to Ernest who engulfed her in his arms, his eyes sparkling with tears of joy."Finally, the time came when we will be getting our future king, the ultimate ruler of Heaven. Reina, before we share this good news with the whole of Heaven, Theodore and Diana need to be tied with the sacred bond. So, better fasten up the wedding preparations." He said and looked at the morose Christian who was standing beside Theodore.Ernest walked towards him and held his shoulder, "Christian, what's your call? Should we hold the wedding this week as there's no use in dallying it any longer?"While the royal family was busy celebrating the news, Diana who was sitting on the bed with the doctors checking up on her was watching them with shock-filled eyes.'Why do they seem so happy with this news when they are well aware that he or she is Zachary's blood? Aren't they repulsed by
“YOU DID WHAT??”Zagan yelled and looked at Kiora who was standing in front of him with crossed arms.Kiora blazed watching her brother staring at her with accusatory eyes, “I didn’t have an option, Zagan. George was about to kill me. I tried my best to stop him but he wasn’t ready to listen to me so-““SO, YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT JASMINE?” Zagan completed her sentence and shot her a death glare. Kiora clenched her jaw.Grabbing her right shoulder, Zagan glared at her and gritted, “DO YOU TAKE ME AS AN IDIOT? You didn’t have the power to stop George? I am your brother Kiora, you can’t fool me. You could have easily saved yourself but you deliberately told him everything.”Rage bubbled inside her. Kiora slapped his hands away and spoke while looking straight into his eyes, “Yes, it was intentional. But you know what? I don’t regret my actions. Because unlike you, I can’t trust Calix blindly. He hates us Zagan and you better don’t forget that he does have a soft corner for Diana. What if he
Two days laterBinnazun DynastyCalix's P.O.V."You called me here Queen?"I said to Delphyne who was hiding behind a pillar, her eyes cautiously scanning her surroundings.My voice made her jump on the spot. She pivoted with her hand over her heart. The expression she gave me was the one of getting caught red-handed but no sooner did our eyes meet, her tensed shoulders slouched as relief washed over her."Ah! You're finally here. You don't know how hard it has been for me to hide from my son and husband and roam inside my own house with fear." She said and let out a nervous laugh but I kept my face stoic.The previous encounter with Zac affected me in the worst way. I can't stop thinking about reconsidering my decision.Diana, Diana, and Diana. She was the only one who was on my mind these days. The notorious goofy ball which had stolen my brother’s heart. Her smile, her innocent big doe blue eyes, and her small baby face saddled me with guilt whenever I ponder on my mission of getti
The fetters of anticipation and dread grappled Calix as soon as he was confronted with the question which he had been avoiding for the past two days. His mouth turned dry and he felt as if he almost lost his voice. The menacing look in Zachary’s eyes was daring him not to lie but does he have the courage to tell him the truth?‘How come he met Zagan in the first place when he is in Moonland? And even if he did, how come Zac was able to invade the portals which were closed by Theodore?’Random thoughts corrupted his mind but still, Calix kept calm and didn't reveal the uneasiness on his face.Maybe Zagan was in Binnazun Dynasty or he really met him in Moonland because Calix himself doesn't know about Zagan’s whereabouts. But again, that's preposterous according to their master plan because if Zagan did that then he wouldn't have been alive by now.Suddenly it struck him. What if Zachary was testing him? To get his reaction. After all, they both were like brothers and knew each other ve
Inside Theo PalaceA drop of tear cascaded down the puffy cheeks of the gloomy Princess who was staring out the window hopelessly. Though she wasn’t shackled, she was confined within the four walls as per the King’s order who had surpassed all limits of cruelty. Caressing her stomach, a heart-wrenching sob escaped her chapped lips which soon took the form of loud cries.Diana burst into tears and clutched her stomach tightly, her body shaking violently as she cried for the safety of her unborn child whom the cruel King had ordered to kill.Flashback“HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?? HE IS OUR FUTURE, THEO. HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT??”Reina screamed at the top of her lungs while shooting daggers at her son who was ensconced in his throne and was giving her a vacant stare.Lord Ernest flared as his attitude didn’t settle well with him, “Theodore, don’t forget that I am the one who had given you the authority, the power on which you’re oppressing us today. Diana is carrying
Zachary’s P.O.V.Trudging through the lush bushes, I somehow succeeded in entering the mansion. Jasmine did a fantastic job in distracting those bunch of idiots. Though it was our plan, Theodore’s reaction caught me off guard. I haven’t anticipated that jerk to be head over heels for my sister. But what for? Didn’t he push her away from his life then what is he trying to prove by acting all lovey-dovey with her? I can’t understand this man.But whatever it is, this act won’t last long. Once I rescue my Princess, I will take my family away with me back to my dynasty. I need to be watchful, and make sure not to ruin everything in hastiness. My anger is my worst enemy and I am trying my best to stay calm but I swear on my Princess’s happiness, I won’t ever let my wifey or my sister visit this horrendous land ever.Snooping around, I made my way to the third floor as per Jasmine’s words that my Princess had been locked here. The guards were lined up at every corner. That fucker was determ
Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
Christian rushed to George and held his shoulders as the injured prince staggered to the ground with his hands on his chest.George was blazing from the inside but his flagging strength stalled his revenge game. Cursing internally, he then looked at Diana whose blue eyes were already fixed on him.Diana on the other hand had mixed feelings. On one side she was happy to save her friend from this psychopath but the irony was that the psychopath was none other than her friend.To save one, she tried to kill the other.Diana slightly flinched after noticing the pained look in his eyes.Who knew that their friendship would fizzle out one day?But her remorse was only exuberating George.'Maybe she would help me out?'He internally prayed for Diana to side with him but her next words vitiated his hopes."I am sorry but you deserved it."George was stunned but Diana didn't even spare a glance his way and headed to Zachary and the others.Rose looked at Jasmine who was drenched in sweat."Wha
"Don't you dare."Zachary snarled, glowering at Theodore who had his sword aimed at Jasmine's neck. Jasmine on the other hand was numb. Her bloodshot eyes were fixated on Zagan who was lying on the floor covered in a pool of blood.Though Theodore stabbed Zagan, the attack wasn't fatal. The slow cadence of his breath was the signal that the injured demon was still alive but brutally injured. He needed aid or else excess blood loss would kill him.Jasmine frantically roamed her eyes here and there, searching for something which could be of her help when she spotted Diana dragging her feet to a corner. A frown etched on her face but her eyes widened when she followed her steps. Avoiding eyes, Diana was heading to the venomous bayonet that was lying next to George's feet.The same weapon with which Kiora tried to attack Rose.A shiver ran down her spine.Diana had no idea that it was venomous because she was unconscious during the nasty fight. But if by any chance, a manhandling or scuff
Zachary's words came as a shock to both Diana and Theodore.Jasmine’s face beamed with happiness. Nodding vigorously, she ran to Zachary like a child only to be pulled back by a terrified Theodore.Clutching her arm, he coiled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest before looking at Zachary."S-Sister? Don't play with me, Zachary. You can leave with your wife and Rose but leave my wife out of this. She isn’t going anywhere." He snapped at him but Jasmine could hear his erratic heartbeat.He looked scared and that too of her leaving him?What an irony!Zachary smirked and moved forward. He grabbed her hand and peeled her away from him.“Wife? Don’t make me laugh, Theodore. Yeah, sure she is your wife whom you had never given the place she deserved. Have some shame man and to clear your doubts, yes, she is my sister. The eldest daughter of the Binanzun Dynasty and the rightful owner of not only Hell but also Heaven. She is neither a swindler nor a fucking peasant."
