Maisie’s cheeks began to hurt from how much she blushed. She couldn’t believe she was holding hands and taking a walk with the heir of the Moonlove kingdom. “Thank you for taking this walk with me.” She uttered, and Damon answered with a faint smile. “But you know you don’t have to hold my hand. Did my mom tell you to do that too?” He asked, and Maisie chuckled. “No, she didn’t. But I like it this way. It will help me keep up with your walking pace.” She answered shyly. As they kept walking, Maisie sighted the training field from afar, and her eyes widened. “You have a training field too?” She asked in awe. Damon furrowed his brows and looked at the field too. “Why are you so surprised? Every kingdom has one.” “Not every kingdom, my prince. Though, our kingdom has one, but only the males are trained to fight. The women are trained to be good wives.” She answered. “Oh… well, everyone can train here.” “That is amazing! Can we move closer? I would love to shoot an arrow for the f
Belinda tried to act okay when she headed back to Megan’s chamber for dinner. She didn’t want her asking her questions. Megan told her guards to open up the door for Belinda when she got there. Belinda walked in with a smile on her face. “What took you so long?” Megan asked her. “I’m sorry, I took a long time in the bathroom. I was enjoying the bath too well.” “A bath? You prepared it yourself?” Megan asked, and Belinda nodded proudly. “It wasn’t a milk bath. Just warm water and soap.” Belinda added as she moved closer to where Megan was. The table was set already, and Megan was seated. “Here… there is enough food to eat. Eat until you can’t eat anymore.” Megan told her, and she bobbed. She picked a plate and poured some rice on it. She added some beef sauce to the side and picked up a spoon. “So… I asked my brother about this woman you told me about.” Megan uttered, and Belinda stopped chewing immediately. “Hmm.” She nodded and gulped the rice that was in her mouth. “I know
“I hate Belinda with everything in me!” Isla yelled as soon as she got into Yolanda’s room. Yolanda sat up on her bed and looked at her. “What did the stranger do this time?” “You won’t believe it. I went to Reggie to finally tell him how I feel about him, but he turned me down.” Isla explained. “And what does this have to do with Belinda?” “He turned me down because he likes her, Yolanda! He likes that witch!” “Hold on, Isla. Did he tell you he likes her or you’re just assuming? Remember, he never reciprocated your feelings in any way.” “C’mon, Yolanda, are you trying to mock me too? He was with her throughout the day! He kept touching her all in the name of training, and they both seemed to be enjoying it! It’s so annoying!” She smacked and slammed into the bed. Yolanda scoffed and shook her head. “Well, that’s more of a relief to me. I thought she had some kind of feeling for Princess Megan.” “Princess Megan? Why would you even think that? They are both women. It doesn’t wo
~ After A Month~ ‘It’s over a month since Prince Damon told me to stay away from him. Even though I tried to keep to his words, I find myself drowning even more in his love. I keep wanting to see him everyday, even though we don’t talk anymore. He never tried to talk to me since he saw me with Reggie, he is with Miss Maisie now, but I still can’t forget about him and that dream I had on the tower. What should I do? He’d never love me back.’ “Belinda! Belinda! Are you preparing?” Megan's question was followed by her knock on Belinda’s chamber door. Belinda snapped out of her thought and stared into the mirror that she sat in front of. “I’m also done, Princess Megan.” She answered. She stood up and headed to the door. She opened the door, and Megan rushed in with a bag in her hand. She dropped the bag on the bed and took a close look at Belinda’s outfit. “Don’t tell me you’re going to my father’s birthday feast dressed like that.” Megan muttered, showing disappointment and disgust.
“Prince Damon.” Belinda called as he pulled her with him. Tears rolled down her eyes as she stared at him from behind. ‘I don’t understand what is going on. What does he mean by he needs me?’ She asked herself. Surprisingly, Prince Damon was taking her to her chamber. He grabbed the door knob and opened the door. He walked inside the chamber and pulled her in with him. He locked the door behind them and that was when he finally let go of her hand. “What is going on, Prince Damon? I am so confused.” Belinda mumbled tearily. Damon brushed his hair backward with his hand as he kept panting hard. Belinda could see he was shivering too. It looked like he was having a panic attack. “Prince Damon?” Belinda called, this time, worriedly. He seemed not to be doing okay. “Why do you always let him get so close to you?” Damon mumbled and gazed at her. Belinda creased her brows in confusion as she gazed back at him. “Reggie! I mean, Reggie! Why do you let him touch you like that? Why does h
Belinda got back to the hall and saw Reggie standing at a corner. He seemed quite lonely. ‘I shouldn’t go to him. Prince Damon will be pissed. I should keep my distance.’ She thought, and hastily ignored him. She walked to where the table was set and picked up a biscuit. She took a bite and chewed on it, ready to get carried away in its taste, when she heard some women discussing. “Why is she dressed like Princess Megan? I heard she is just a stranger in the land… a slave to be precise!” “If that is true, why does she deserve such nice treatment? Or is she a lost child of the King?” Belinda gulped hard as she listened to their conversation. She looked back and saw them staring at her with disgust written over their faces. Belinda let out a feeble smile and looked away. She hastily walked away and stopped when she got to a corner in the hall. After she heard what those women were discussing, all she wanted was to be alone. She looked around the hall, trying to lay her eyes on Pr
~The Next Day~ Belinda woke up on the perfect side of the bed. She was happy and joyful for the first time in her life. The prince confessed his love for her last night. At the party, they kept stealing glances of each other, and Belinda tried as much as possible to stay away from Reggie so as not to piss him off. She hummed throughout her bathing session and danced, making little swirls as she dressed up. ‘It’s going to be a great day. I can feel it.’ She looked at herself in the mirror and beamed. She brushed her hair and let it fall loosely on her shoulders. ‘I should care about how I look now. He seemed to like how I looked yesterday. It’s a pity I don’t have any of those makeup items, and asking Princess Megan for it will be so shears. I should just leave my face this way.’ She let out another grin, showing her white, straight teeth before heading to her door. She opened her door and was about to step out when Megan, out of nowhere, stopped her.“Princess Megan!” Belinda ca
Queen Marlena sat at the dining table with Damon and Maisie. There was an awkward silence among them as they ate. Marlena looked at Maisie, and then at Damon, who looked lost. All he did was eat. He didn’t even bother to look up. Maisie looked at Marlena and shrugged her shoulders. She wanted the queen to ask questions. “So Damon… how are things between you and Maisie?” Marlena asked. Damom raised his head and nodded. “Good. We are having breakfast together. That’s progressive right?” He asked, and Queen Marlena smiled feebly. “But why does Maisie look sad?” She further asked, and for the first time since they started eating, Damon looked at her.“I’m not sure, Mother. You can ask her, she’s right in front of you.” Damon answered and continued eating. “I am fine, my queen. I just feel that the prince doesn’t care about me the way he claims he does.” Maisie answered sadly. “How is that?” Marlena asked. “We have been together for two months now but he has never kissed me, talkle
