The guy in the suit glanced around the bus, but no one, not even myself, seemed interested in answering his inquiry. Then there's Tara, who raises her hands as she stands up to confront the guy. "How come you're searching for her while I'm already here?" Tara was going to place her hand on the guy's chest when the man suddenly took her hand and held it strongly in his own. "Hey, I'm the one you're looking for, I am... Gemma?""I couldn't care less about you; I just want to know who Gemma is." The guy said solemnly.Mishelley rises to her feet. "That's what you get for stealing someone else's identity. Tara isn't Gemma, and she will never be Gemma."She's trying to do something. I know what she wants to do. I yanked her shirt off to deter her since I was certain she'd point at me. "Mishelley, don't you dare point at me," I said in hushed tones. "Don't ever point a finger in my direction. I'm warning you."The guy let go of Tara's hand and began to move toward where we were. "Tell me, yo
In the midst of our chat, the bodyguard who had previously forced me into the vehicle cut off our conversation and switched on the car's mini monitor. I recognized the face of the prince instantly on the monitor. They increased the volume to better understand what was being said.Thus, this is what the monarch meant when he said that they had an important meeting to attend. The king secretly convened a meeting with Prince Augustus to discuss his future.It was his uneasy expression that caught my attention initially. A large number of cameras have gathered around him, and the flashes from them make him feel much more uneasy than he already is. Even if I don't understand what he's thinking, one thing I am certain of is that Prince Augustus wants to get out of the conference."Your Majesty, we're all wondering why Prince Emmanuel was not the heir to the throne, he is the firstborn.""I'm afraid I'm only able to respond to one question. They are both my sons, but I can state with certaint
Following Walden's introduction as the prince's personal bodyguard, I found out that he was Mr. Osiris's second son. Well, I'm hoping Walden will be as good as his father.Borstal students have been more cautious in interacting with the prince since he was introduced to the world. The students became more distant from Prince Augustus than they'd been before, particularly when they discovered that the prince had a personal bodyguard.Except for me and Prince Augustus, everyone has a partner. Surprisingly, no one has chosen him at this time. I got to my feet and walked toward him. Slowly, I let out a sigh. "I'll be your partner."Prince Augustus gave me a thoughtful gaze. He didn't say anything. I took a seat next to him and began talking. Because he isn't paying attention right now, I took care of the matter on my own."I'm finished," I said. "I'll just send it along to Ms. Ava," I said before returning.Walden was ready to accompany the prince into his private chamber at lunchtime when
Everyone is concerned since the prince has not arrived at the palace as of midnight. The prince is nowhere to be found, no matter where the royal guards search. As I waited outside the palace, anticipating the arrival of the prince, "Gemma!" Walden took up a position next to me. "Why haven't you gone to bed yet?""I'm not yet in the mood to go to sleep," I responded."You need to take a rest. Your wound might not heal if you worry too much.""I should have stopped him instead of letting him leave. Now that we are unaware of his whereabouts, what if Maxx gets back to him? What if...""Don't think negatively, nothing horrible can happen to Prince Augustus." He got to his feet. "I'll carry you to your room if you still don't get up."While shaking my head, I smiled. "There is no need to do that." I got up from my seat on the grass, having been escorted back inside the roomWhen I switched on the light, I was startled to see Prince Augustus standing at my window, and I sprang back in horro
"Can you tell me how long he’s been here?" King Lucien inquired upon entering the prince’s room.I replied, "I believe he was here all along,""I sincerely apologize, Your Majesty, for not checking his room." As he lowered his head before the king, Walden expressed his regret."It’s all right. The most important thing is that he’s here," King Lucien said. "Call Grand Silva and inform her that she will look after the Prince.""Yes, Your Majesty." Walden lowered his head."No!" Prince Augustus replied in a matter of seconds. "I want my personal maid to take care of me."I was flabbergasted by what the prince said. He had shown worry about the cut on my arm before, and now he wants me to look after him as well. He had never done anything like this before. I’m not sure why, but the other part of my brain seemed relieved.The monarch, like myself, had a startled response when he heard the prince say that. "That’s rather unexpected. If it is what you want," King Lucien gave a slight nod. "I’
I'm unable to do my assignment since I'm concerned about Prince at the moment. I set the paper on the study table and shifted to the bed next to the intercom, not hesitating to push the intercom's talk button."My mother was the one who taught me how to play the piano. She was so into music that every time I passed by her room, I could hear her playing not just the piano, but a variety of other instruments as well. Then, one day, the sound of her instrument was abruptly silenced, and in an instant, a deafening silence could be heard all around her room." Prince Augustus clenched his fist in frustration. "They banished my mother to the palace, and they wouldn't even let me see her for the last time. She had to go through it all by herself! For years, I've been trying to figure out how to find her; up until now, I'd had no clue where she was. Through this thing you handed me, I'm certain that I'll be able to track her down. "I rose to my feet. "I'm here. Don't worry. I'll help you find
Prince Augustus and I were already on good terms, but I was exposed to another round of torture since they were already aware of the type of life I had led. The hateful glances and gossip I experienced again when word of my father's imprisonment circulated throughout Borstal.I took the chance to find Felipe and the other people while Prince was training. They were in the same room when I spotted them."About the video, sorry...""Gemma, please don't apologize; we aren't bothered by the video," Janus said."We're not the kind of people who will pass judgment on you based on a single piece of news. We didn't simply welcome you because you can play the violin; when we accepted you, it included the unpleasant aspects of your life." Elias added."Thank you very much," My face was flushed with tears. "Since last night, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you guys. I assumed you would shun me now that you are aware of my father's imprisonment.""It's her!" Unknown males approached, ea
"Don't mind the prince, but he's right in that you can't call me negie since I don't really like being addressed as such," I said with a grin. "Do you want to see another movie?""Are you sure you're not going to follow the prince?"I shook my head. "He wants some alone time.""All right." He flashed a smile. "Hmmm... let's watch..."We're now viewing the second film that Walden chose for us. When the main character mentions the name Marcos, the image of Marcos immediately springs to mind. Marcos said that he would remain for a few days; he was in the Philippines but did not seem to be there due to his constant busyness. We can't even talk with one another since every time I return home to the palace, I always find him sleeping, and every time I wake up, he has already left."Gemma, it's not like we're children anymore. There are certain things I need to prioritize, and there are other things I just cannot give up."He's right; he's not the same guy I used to be able to see whenever I
