Finn.

My personal guard was taking longer than I expected. He was the most efficient man I knew but right now, I couldn't help but frown.

For the fact that the dead girl wasn't Everest, I was calm and rest assured she was fine. All I waited for was for the result from the investigation. Everything around me seemed to be getting on my nerves at the moment.

A few moments later, my personal guard walked in."Greetings, my prince!"

I raised my head and scowled, “Have you found her whereabouts?" This was all that mattered to me.

"Yes, my prince."

His response gave me relief. I was very excited to hear such news. "That's good news! That's good to hear.” I looked behind him hoping to see her around. I furrowed my brows in a frown. He knew how bad it was that I wanted her found and now he wasn't here with her? “So where is she? Why hasn't she returned yet?"

"Your highness, Everest is in safe hands. I wouldn't want to cause a scene in broad daylight by bringing her along. Anyone who sees me ar

    Finn"I sure will, Your highness! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."I waved him off, "Sure! It's alright. You can go now. Get back to me when you're done with the task I gave you. I want to head to the cell and know what has happened.""Your highness, I don't think that would be necessary."I scowled, "Don't you think it would be good to see things for myself?"He sighed. "It is, but it's no longer necessary for you to show up there. Beta Stephanie had gone to oversee all that was going on. She went over to the cell immediately and heard about the mistress. By now, she must have done the necessary things which needed to be done."The longer I spent here the tougher it got. I furrowed my brows in a frown. "Is that so?”“Your highness, your presence at the imperial cell would stir up troubles. The King and Queen would definitely get involved. And this would expose the mistress. I would advise you to stay back and watch from a distance. You can give me whatever command yo

    EverestHaving heard the order given by Beta Stephanie to release me, I was very excited. I was so overwhelmed with Joy that I didn't know how to express myself. Finally I would be leaving this hell hole. I have missed the comfort of my room. I just had to compose myself in a disciplined manner, knowing that I would want to overreact and not cross my boundaries as a result of excitement.I heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally! Finally I get to be freed.” I mumbled beneath my breath. Elena smiles."Indeed! I can imagine how you feel right now."I chuckled."I know right? I know. I can't wait to get on Adrienne's arm. Gosh! I have missed her so very much." Beta Stephanie, looked at me strangely. “Everest, are you alright?"I shook my head in confusion, "Of course, I'm alright! I'm fine."She moved closely, taking a look at me."Are you sure you're alright?" She questioned, once again. This was the second time she would ask me such a question and the way at which she questioned me was weird

    "But it's the truth, I love and care about my sister so much, please give me an order to be released as well." I muttered.Beta Stephanie sighed. I see! If that's the case, maybe you can as well, suit yourself.As far as I am concerned, I wouldn't want anything to complicate me, nor would I want to discuss anything which doesn't make sense to me. Even from the look of things, you completely don't look alright to me. There is something definitely wrong. And just so you know, we are not having this conversation anymore. When you feel like coming along, then you should. As a matter of fact, it's been a week since you've been here, you haven't seen sunlight and the damn environment must have gotten into your brain. So I guess the cells and nerves in your body must be acting up. You need an open space and some amount of air to help you feel alright and also think.” I was left in a confused state of mind. Here I was with Elena beside me, but Beta Stephanie claims she didn't see her. What

    Finn"Is that so?”“Your highness, your presence at the imperial cell would stir up troubles. The King and Queen would definitely get involved. And this would expose the mistress. I would advise you to stay back and watch from a distance. You can give me whatever command you have in mind and it will be executed. You can also summon the female Beta or the imperial guard who was in charge of the arrest, they would report everything to you “This sounded like a good idea, it does have a way to appease the worry I had brewing inside of me. “You're right! It is better to stick to your advice. They should all report to me immediately!" I commanded.“Yes, your highness.” Saying these last words, he left my presence. It was a good thing Beta Stephanie showed up before I did. Else, I might overreact at Everest, for her silly attitude. If I had personally gone to the cell, it could result in arguments, so I can say it was a save of effort for me.Even so, I was still amazed by Everest's beha

    AliceThere was no way I could express how excited I was. It was a good thing to know that everything is working out just as planned. Having recalled how I had successfully eliminated Everest from my path, I couldn't ask for more.Sitting comfortably in my room, I had feelings of excitement and was overwhelmed with joy.Just then, I heard the buzz of radio static. The speaker was turned on. That implies that Mr. Roland is about to make an important announcement. "Attention. Attention. Everyone, listen attentively!" He paused.And immediately, I was distracted from my thoughts and paid much attention to what announcement was to be made. And at the same time, I got curious to know what it was all about."As you all know, this is another section in the academy. A test would be conducted. The timetable for the tests for each course has been arranged and is therefore ready to be accessible to everyone. It has been posted on the notice board, so everyone should head to the notice board beca

    Alice "Drop the pretense. Don't pretend you know nothing about what I said." "For more clarity, I saw everything. I mean, everything. I had seen you that day when you snuck out of the academy to meet up with his group of assassins, which looked really dangerous. How could you be so cruel to such an extent? What are you now up to, huh? Tell me!" She yelled.I remained in the same position. Staring without saying a word."Just as I expected. I knew you would have nothing to say, but rather stare at me like a fool."I raised my index finger pointing it at her face, "Hey! Don't insult me.""Just shut up, Alice! Shut up! After all, that is all you could say about this. How could you be so callous to the point that you would kill? To kill someone! I didn't know that you're so evil to such an extent. I still can't believe you could do that. If someone had met up with me and told me you did so, I wouldn't believe it. Now that I have witnessed it myself, I'm more confused and disappointed th

    EverestA strange scent upset my nostrils, I frowned trying so hard to open my eyes. My eyelids felt so heavy, it was as if someone had placed a pack of ice on them.Oh goodness! I pouted. What was really happening. After a while I stopped the struggle, I rested my eyes for a few minutes and opened them. My eyes were glued to the new set of ceiling, where was I? It seems like my brain was still asleep, I felt lazily moving any part of my body and I shut my eyes back. I woke up in a totally strange environment. It was as if I woke up to another world which I'm yet to realize.Finally my Brain was now awake, I opened my eyes again and this time I saw the same sight from earlier. My eyes fluttered, I had to be sure everything I was seeing was real. Trying to move my hands, it felt like the second world war. An internal Battle, my nerves and organs seems to be going against me. I felt totally different and I couldn't explain how I felt. But all I could say was that my whole body ached m

    SeleneI couldn't just get what was going on. It's been several months since I set my eyes on Everest and now that she had returned, she was acting strange all of a sudden. I could say that I was completely in a confused state. As a matter of fact, It was so terrifying to behold. I just couldn't explain what it was all about. I stood still watching all Everest did and could say nothing. I watched her being taken away. Afterall, I didn't give a fuck.Miss Phoebe folded her arms as she stared at me. "Are you just going to stand there?" I sighed. "Of course I am. What on Earth do you want me to do? Do you expect me to run along?"Miss Phoebe chuckled. "You're unbelievable! Don't you know what she's going through?""As if I cared."She glared at me. "Just so you know, Everest is suffering from an illness, a severe one. She has schizophrenia!" She announced.Her response turned out to be a shock to me. I widened my mouth in surprise as I exhaled. "Schizophrenia?"She shook her head."Yes

    Finn “I…am…Emily!" Caleb also burst into laughter."So you were the one who had taken Everest out of the academy huh?" She shook her head. "Apparently. Well, the academy was so boring to stay in and so I was in need of something to keep me busy or better still give me fun. And you know how that can be. I can't imagine that brother could be so blind, he was blind that he had suspended the innocent girl without making proper investigations. And if only he did a proper investigation, he would have known that it was Alice behind the whole thing. Caleb furrowed his brows in surprise."Alice behind the whole thing?" "Yes. And not only that, she had also tried to kill Everest but ended up killing one of the contestants." Having heard her response, I was shocked. I was amazed she knew all of this all along. And heard I was still investigating and was unable to trace Alice. What then, have I been doing? I wondered in guilt. Caleb folded his arms as he stumped his feet."I said it! I kn

    Finn Seeing Everest go through such pain made me feel a huge sympathy for her. I felt hurt to see her behave in such a manner. She was completely innocent after all. And once again she had to go through such trauma. It's so sad that I couldn't do anything. And even if I were to do something it won't change anything. As she had stood before me with a smile, I was helpless and totally devastated. The only way we could calm her down was only when she black out. I can imagine the pain she was going through. I clenched my fist in anger having recalled the response which my parents had made concerning her, and to top it all, right before my presence. After she was knocked out, she was taken into a private room so she could take some rest. But then, I spent some time with her before I decided to return to the palace. Having seen her in such a condition I got really pissed. It was all absurd. It turns out that she wasn't lucky after all. Caleb and I returned to the palac

    EverestOf course I know! And so also you are my only friend." "You actually came at the right time. I know you would never lie to me but rather tell me the truth. Everyone here seemed to say things which I don't understand. Tell me what they had done to Elena. I want to know where Elena is at the moment. Is that why she's in hiding, what did they do to her?" Adrienne smiled gracefully."Everest, you don't have to worry. They did nothing to Elena. Absolutely nothing! Oh goodness! Is that why you're panicking? Come on! Cheer up now, Elena had stepped out. She went on an errand. As a matter of fact, she went to get you a surprise gift. Besides, I'm not supposed to tell you because it was meant to be a surprise."I heaved a sigh of relief and burst into laughter as I let out a perfect smile, facing the others. "You see, I knew it! After All, I knew I wasn't insane nor was there anything wrong with me in the first place. So why would you all say that I'm mad, that I had lost my sanity? E

    EverestAfter a series of pains and tears I let out, I couldn't keep up any longer. I was as weak as a cat. While in search of Elena, I shouted and shouted but there wasn't a response. She didn't turn up anymore. I was confused and devastated. Totally exhausted!In my current condition, it isn't advisable as a pregnant woman to move about in such stress and tension. It could equally affect my unborn child in any way. There was no way I could stay back any longer. And having recalled all that happened, my heart hurts.I moved towards Miss Phoebe. She stood still as she watched me search for Elena. On second thought, Elena must have returned home. I concluded. All that had mattered to me was to find her as soon as possible.And from the look of things the perfect the place to find her would be at home since she was nowhere to be seen around the arena. I would use the opportunity to confirm things for myself.I stared at Miss Phoebe with a sad face as I reached out to her. "Miss Phoe

    Everest I staggered backwards in shock as my heart raced heavily. I widened my eyes in shock, it seemed my senses were failing me. What was all this? No! No! This can't be happening!! My heart beat changed completely, the fast rhythm felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. Paraventure If I was told such a thing would happen on such a special day. A day which I hope I would never forget as a result of the excitement I felt, I would never have believed. Who would have thought it could happen? There I was overwhelmed with Joy not knowing that my past would come hunting for me in the future. I must say that indeed, everything had worked out according to how Alice had planned. She let out a sinister smile as she displayed it. The more the audience spoke harsh words, pointing a finger at me, the more excited she was. So this was her plan all along? The moment she stated she had something to say to the audience, my heart skipped though I had no idea what she was gonna say. Deep

    Everest You don't have to worry, I'm here for you." "Prince Finn! Leave that insane lady immediately and return to your seat, now!" The king commanded, yelling at the top of his voice. I trembled in fear. The prince didn't make a move. But the look I got from everyone was terrifying. They all stared at me like some piece of trash. Staring at Alice once again, she was having a smirk on her face. Adrienne on the other hand stood aside in fear, I could tell that she was worried and tensed for me but could do nothing. His parents had gotten furious already. They couldn't stand my presence any more. And I very well know that what got them more pissed was for the fact that their son had supported me even when they had declined. Even after receiving support from Prince Finn as I tried to get on my feet, I just couldn't. My legs were shaking massively that even I myself had no idea of what was going on. Thank goddess that he was beside me and had also chosen to stand by me. But the

    FinnI welcome you all to the twenty-first anniversary of the Luna academy, where the winner of this year's competition will become the Luna. And according to our principles, the second best would be allocated to the remaining princes. So also goes for the third best and the rest, they would be allocated to the other royal princes and the Betas." We all applauded at once with smiles on our faces. Not only did he make a welcoming speech but also made references to the royalties who were present. My identity as the prince was revealed. Mister Roland cleared his throat. "And now, the moment we all have been waiting for. The winner of this year's competition is none other than….." he kept quiet as he let out a perfect smile. My heart raced heavily, everyone shivered in curiosity. Some had closed their eyes and were also curious. I had to place my hand on my chest so I could relax and by doing so I heard the sound of my heart beat. "Is… none other than… Everest Luthar!" He screamed o

    Finn I heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing I was able to sum up confidence to tell Everest about my identity. Else, I can't imagine what would happen. She was absolutely right about my fears. There was no way results would be announced that my identity won't be revealed. Though, I saw this coming so I was fully prepared. But to my greatest surprise she laughed over the matter. Here I was thinking she would be really upset with me but little did I know that it would turn out this way. Just when I said it out, I felt a great relief. Now I bet she would be really confident and happy to have me beside her. Finally! This is the day we've all been waiting for. Deep within me, I was full of excitement. As a matter of fact, I couldn't get yesterday off my mind. The moments I spent with Everest made me happy and made me impatient to witness tomorrow's event. I must say that I was in a good mood. I ordered a limited collection. They were of the latest designers. I was certain tha
