View MoreNothing at all could describe the pain and ache in my heart as Juniper spoke. His words were like tiny sharp prickles drilling into my chest and no matter how hard I tried to pretend that I didn’t care that what he was saying didn’t matter, I couldn’t help it. I had confided in him and yet he was using it against me. The thought of everything that had happened rushed to my head and my head started to spin. A part of me was still finding everything that was happening a little too real, unbelievable.How did I not see through at all?“Why are you doing this to me?” I whispered, tears running down my cheeks. He was supposed to be my best friend and yet here he was torturing me.“You know while I baited my time here, nothing seemed to ever faze Jonathan. He was so well protected and there was no leakage, nothing at all. There was no way I could penetrate into his impregnable wall and even the news about the palace was scarce. He had no weak points, only strong points but I knew that the t
AMIRA’S POVI had no idea how long it tk me to open my eyes but the moment I decided to do so, it was a sharp pain and ache from the back of my head had registered in my mind first and it took me several minutes before slowly opened my eyes and tried i adjust my eyes to the environment and know where I was. It took me a few minutes, but I soon realized that I was in a shed. The shed looked old and rusty and it had a faint smell of old books in the library. It definitely wasn’t used so well. That was what I was sure of.I tried to stand up and it was then that I realized that my hands and legs were tightly bound and panic set in as I tried to loosen myself all to no avail. As I tried to free myself, I immediately remembered how I had found myself here in the first place. I remembered Juniper hitting me with a stick, the displeased look on his face as I fell to the floor. I hadn’t been hallucinating.I looked around as I shook my head while trying to loosen myself, “Juni wouldn’t do th
THIRD POVThe shouts of victory filled the whole kingdom and Jonathan had a smile on his face. Their recent wars had been filled with happy screams and shouts as they nabbed victory after victory. SOme of the kingdoms that waged war against them were slowly withdrawing from the crushing defeat some of the other kingdoms had suffered in their hands but he also knew that it didn’t matter, they had to keep up their defenses. They couldn’t afford to back down now, he also knew that the wars had done them a favour, while they didn’t confer to the other kingdoms standards, they could also finally leave the title of being a rogue kingdom behind. They had proved their worth and also proved that they weren’t people that could be messed with or played around with.He walked through the hallways, the guards bowing as he walked past them and then into his room. Kareem immediately reached for his armour and helped him remove it.“Congratulations your highness” both Kareem and Azarah choroushed as
“Amira, Amira, wake up, wake up” a strong jolting jolted me awake and I jumped on the bed with a fright. I turned to see Serena staring at me with wide eyes.“Are you okay?” She asked and the previous night memories came washing over me in an instant. The secrets I had found made a lump form in my throat. I had stayed in the medicine room, drinking in every detail and what I had found out had terrified me. It was a lie, it was a sham and I had walked into the room late to sleep.“Amira, Amira” Serena called again and I came back to myself while she stared at me with narrowed eyes.“Are you sure you're okay?” she asked and I quickly nodded my head.“Well, the king would soon leave for the war, I thought you might want to see him before he leaves” Serena said as she grabbed my hand, “Amira, talk to me, what’s wrong?” she asked and I turned to stare at Serena wondering whether to tell her what I had learned first but instead I got off the bed and rushed out of the door. I needed to tell J
I laid in my bed for half of the day, wondering and pondering on Juniper’s question. I knew that he was right and he had only been looking out for me and that was why he asked me that question but I didn’t like what he had asked at that point in time. I was merely trying to be happy and at that point, my emotions had plummeted.I knew that like Juniper, anyone who heard about me and Jonathan would have questions, valid questions. Like how did we all in love? Did we really love each other? Would I be able to forgive him? He was someone who had turned my entire life upside down, would I still be able to forgive him? How did I even dare to love such a man? He hadn’t told me to my face that he loved me but I knew and I was also yet to tell him that I loved him. I didn’t have to think so hard because I had gotten my answer a long time ago, fate and destiny had a way of playing games and the games they had played with me and Jonathan were unfair games, games that shouldn’t have been played
AMIRA’S POVNobody knew why the Princesses were sent home. What had happened had been kept tightly on a lease and no matter how hard anyone tried to pry, they couldn’t find out what had happened. When Serena found out what had happened, she had almost beaten me up especially since she had told me not to go and if she hadn’t gone to Kareem in the first place and Kareem going to Jonathan, something terrible would have happened and then nobody would have been able to do anything.By the time Masoma found out, Azrah had already thrown the girls out. He was ruthless with them and didn’t spare any of them. It was worth anyone getting angry over, they had in the name of whatever tried to ruin my face.It was no longer jealousy or envy, it was pure wickedness and evil and I wasn’t exactly surprised that Runa was the one who came up with the whole plan. She was capable of such evil but getting the courage to actually act it out, I hadn’t seen that coming and even though Freya had somehow found
THIRD POVJonathan held his head in his palms, his breathing heavy while Kareem and Azrah stood behind him, quiet. The two guards behind him both had hard looks on their faces. Jonathan wasn’t the only one angry or furious. Kareem had been furious and Azrah had been mad, he had commanded the guards to send the Princesses packing immediately, they all thought it was a joke, they couldn’t believe that Jonathan was chasing them away because of a slave but Azarah’s actions had made them realize that he was serious.Freya had begged and begged, she had pleaded to be spared but Azrah wanted to hear nothing about it. He never understood the female royalty, the incessant jabbering and competitions, he never seemed to understand, there was no reason to be always in competition with each other. They could have chosen to be friends but instead, they hated each other, were jealous of each other and envied each other.Envy was a strong emotion and it was that envy that had pushed the five of them
By instinct, I knew that Runa sending for me was anything but good. And worse, it was to her quarters, I knew that it meant trouble was brewing and like I had told Jonathan and Masoma the day before, I was still enough to handle them. I knew that she wanted to get back at me at what happened before and I knew that she had concocted a plan but for some reason I wanted to teach her a lesson.“You don’t have to go,” Serena said and I chuckled.“I know but I want to” I replied.“You have no idea what they have planned for you there. It could be anything, they could hurt you” Serena warned and I burst into laughter.“I know that they want revenge for what happened yesterday but hurting me is something they wouldn’t try to do, that would really be bad for them” I explained while grabbing Serena’s arm.“The truth is that they want revenge and they are spoiled and they are good at throwing tantrums but they are not stupid either, they know what this means and it’s not a bad idea to deal with
“Oh my” Serena squealed in delight and I had to hold her from falling off her chair in the process. She was to excited for her own good The moment I told her what I had held, Serena had jumped up in excitement and happiness. She was nearly as excited as I was and it made me laugh, made me happy.“I told you!” she yelled.“I told you that I was rooting for you” she said with a bright smile and I nodded, “I know you said that” I replied and Serena shook her head.“But that’s just beautiful, I can’t believe he admitted that to elder Tao and the rest” she squealed and I nodded.“I can’t believe it either, how hard can it be?” I asked, shaking my head and Serena grabbed my hands.“No you know Amira, now you know he feels towards you, he even said if he agrees, he wants to marry you, doesn’t that answer all of your questions. He was scared because of the history between you two but I’m sure he loves you, I mean you have always wanted to hear him say it and now you have so, tell him too oka
I gathered my clothes upwards to make walking easier for me. It had been a month since I had arrived in the Elavan Kingdom, and I still had not gotten used to the rough pathways that served as hallways in the palace. It had been one month since I realized that I was going to fail and I hated it. It made me itch and it made me want to scratch my bones.The reason why I was the Elavan Kingdom in the first place drifted into my mind and I swallowed. My job was simple: make the Crown Prince, Karl Collins Edwards, marry me. A simple job that I had failed to do for the past month. As I increased my pace, I remembered standing in front of my father, my head held high, promising him the marriage scroll in two weeks.I also clearly remembered that the ministers in the throne room had clamored that my younger sister be sent instead. She was more beautiful and enchanting than I was. She would get the job easier than she would have but I was adamant on going; my mother’s pleas and reasoning had f...
