FinnIt was about time for the second round to begin. But before they were to return, I went to meet with Everest in person.I realized she was quiet but was giving a cool look. Deep down I know she really felt sad at what had happened but decided to act as if everything was okay.She was really lost in thought and didn't me the moment I approached her.I tapped her by the shoulder" Are you alright?" I asked.She came back to her senses and turned to look at me" You startled me," she said."You have been at one spot for quite a while now. I want to personally compliment your braveness. Despite the fact that Alice was strong, you stood up on your feet and fought back. You did really well" I complemented.It seemed like she wasn't in a good mood. I actually hoped to see a smile on her face after saying such a compliment. But she rather shook her head. '' Thankyou" she appreciates.I moved closer to her" I know how you must feel right now seeing what had just happened while you were in
EverestThe combat wasn't an easy one.For the fact that I had won the first round, I believe it was Alice's parents behind the request for a second round. She was looking all energetic as if she had never fought before.Even though she was ready to fight, I could see fear in het eyes, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She must have been afraid that she might lose to me once again, but that was for me to decide anyway. “She shouldn't expect less from me.” I said, as the thought went through my mind.We begun the combat for the second round as ordered by the king. We positioned ourselves to our taste, ready to take a step.While I fought with Alice, I observed my body a bit then later realized I felt weak. I didn't know the reason behind it but I felt weak all of a sudden. I haven't felt as weak as I was before. I felt it was as a result of my condition. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my baby. Knowing fully well that having this child was a blessing to me.So I would
FinnMy blood boiled with rage when the second round was announced. This was clearly an act of partiality. I knew the look of loneliness, I had seen in her eyes. Now she would feel so worse. But it seems I was worrying too much. The latter turn of events, made me smile. Having seen Everest won, I was very excited. The confidence I had in her was enough to bring it to a success. I guess the moon goddess had always been at her side. At the first round she had clearly won, though they had put a pause to it. But that couldn't stop her from winning, she won proudly. A wolf less female had beaten a werewolf, who had her wolf. The look on my father's face, made me so happy. Even when they had tried to partially interfere, they still couldn't win. Now, this was the second round, as she was clearly the victor. I just couldn't express my excitement. This was worse than a face slap to my parents and the other royal family. With this, Everest was free from all kinds of harassment and bullyin
FinnI made my way to my chambers, I needed to get some rest. Walking into the room, my thoughts were flooded with Everest, a fight was happening within myself. And the event which had happened earlier made me smile. Since the Duel was over, AI would be introduced as the principal for sure. I would love to see the shock on people's faces. “Brother, you are making all these things very difficult. All you need to do is choose the lady you like and this whole contest thing would be over. You don't have to make them fight so hard.” Caleb said, interrupting my thoughts.The sight of him made me smirk, “You should have stayed back in the states. If not, you would end up with so many broken bones.” I glared angrily at him. He chuckled, “Big brother, don't be so heartless. You would die of loneliness if I'm dead. I have to be here to put you right on track.” he sounded so confidently, it seemed like I would die a day without him. I sneered, “We could give it a trail and see if I would miss
Alice I woke up only to find myself lying helplessly on the bed. My eyes were so heavy that I couldn't see clearly at first. A loud ring sounded on my head, I clutch the bed sheets tightly. I tried recalling things but now my mind was blank. I looked around the place, I was really in the hospital. But how come? What happened? Even at that I couldn't explain the full force that had knocked me unconscious. Right now, I had woken up to a weak body, and it was obvious that I hadn't regained my strength. I glanced beside the bed, I was all alone with no one beside me. My hands were injected with a syringe, the clothes I had on had been changed. How severe was the illness? What am I missing? I tried adjusting my posture but my body ached, I couldn't move properly. I sat upright stretching up my body countless times. I was hospitalized and had bandages all over my body. The pain was present but it wasn't too much. What is going on? How did I get here? What the hell am I doing here?
AliceJust when my mother was about to give me a reply, he walked in. "Here am I my dear?" He responded with a smile as he walked in."Father" I called out his name the moment I saw him. He smiled immensely having seen me awake'' My angel, how are you feeling now?" He asked, tapping my forehead."I feel much better Dad. You can see that right?" I replied.He shook his head in happiness' ' Yes I can! That's very good.it's a good thing you're alright I'm so happy to see you in such a good state" he said with a smile.My mother took a seat beside me while my father stood at the other side. I felt warmth and happiness seeing them around me.I raised my head up only to see Adrienne coming further. Seeing her made me recall Everest. I got pissed by her presence.She came in along with Fruits and some food." Alice!" She called out my.name with a smile.I glared at her, "Leave!" I yelled."Alice what happened? Why are you so upset?" She questioned"I said leave! Get out!" I yelled in anger.
AliceI was very upset at my failure. I never get too lost at anything. But it appears that I had underestimated Everest's capabilities. Else, she wouldn't have won.I couldn't imagine the force and strength she had used to bring me down to a.point that I would faint in the process. Despite all the hard work and all I did, it resulted in nothing. What baffles me the most is the fact that I was responsible for arranging the combat. I decided to compete with Everest in order to put her in her place. Little did I know that it would result in something else. I was really disappointed in myself. I have never been defeated before but when it came to Everest, everything changed totally. I will say that she was actually extraordinary to have fought with someone great like me and to even win.I must say she's very lucky.If there is a chance to defeat Everest once again, I won't let it sly but rather put her in her place. Having thought and recalled the combat, I felt really sad that I had
EverestI laid silently on the bed. As a result of how exhausted I was, I didn't want any slight disturbance. After knowing what my roommate is capable of,I had to use the opportunity to take some rest. “This week has been declared a free lecture week. You all are expected to rest to the fullest. Lectures will commence fully by next Month.” The announcement came from the loud speakers. I felt so good because of this news, I could rest my body. I could worship the person right now, this was the best news I have heard in a while. At least I could have enough time on my own. She sometimes nags on small issues and is always having a reason to complain about almost everything. Though I was hungry, I didn't have the appetite to eat. I felt a little bit uneasy. I felt like puking but even as it was about coming out, I hindered it. Why do I feel this way after eating my favorite meal? The stranger had no reason to poison me.Unbeknownst to me, holding it back would worsen the situation.For
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
