No one, including Tal, knew who would replace Felipe until the prince walked on stage and sat down in front of the piano. They exchanged glances, astounded to see the prince. Tal leaned in and placed his mouth near my ear. "What on earth is he doing here?" "He is our pianist," I said in response. "But is he able to...?" "You wait and see," I said proudly. The pianist will play an introductory solo before the group begins to play. The prince slowly presses keys on the keyboard, and the reactions of people in the audience grow increasingly positive. From what I could tell by looking at their expressions, everyone in the hall, including Tal and the members of the club, was enjoying his performance. Not only did I get to hear him play, but so did everyone else. On how good the prince is. After that, Tal and I both started playing our parts of the song, and then the rest of the band joined in. As the band played, I could not take my eyes off the prince as he danced to the music. The

In a single instant, the situation escalated to a complex level, confusing both of us, but especially him. Since that day, the thing that used to be okay between us no longer is, and it's getting to the point where there's no hope. Perhaps the prince has finally realized how he feels about Raeanna. I was in so much pain that I couldn't stop crying, but I knew that I had to give him the space he needed. It was more than painful because I had to see him every day, accompany him wherever he went, and endure this suffering. My chest tightened up when I learned that the prince would be traveling for almost two weeks outside of the country. Shouldn't I feel relieved? I, like him, will have time to think. But no, what I experienced was completely at odds with what my mind had been imagining. I desperately wanted to talk to him and see him, but my presence would only confuse him further. Therefore, I have to prevent myself from doing so. I was able to see him and watch him leave the palace

My Stone, Do you still remember when I told you the story of how your mother and I first met? I just made it up; it was all a lie. It turned out that she didn't love me after all; she had her sights set on a much more noble and better suitor. Because their love is true, there is no one—not even the queen—who can put an end to it. That's right; it wasn't me but King Lucien. The feeling I have for Catina is unrequited, and I cannot betray him because I value our friendship too highly. Lucien was always there when she played, not me. Her most devoted admirer was the king. If you see how happy they are together, you'd think they'd be together forever. Your mother has such a deep and abiding love for him, but it was never enough for him because she was never part of a royal family. Catina knew what would happen if she loved a prince, and so did Lucien. It's love between them versus the entire nation. They were up against a slew of foes. Your mother, Catina, was not a part of Lucien's fu

Putting things back in order in Mama's room after I messed them up so that no one, not even Mother, will be able to find out what I discovered as if nothing happened. Mama, Allerick, and Blythe (who just got home from school) are all in the cab. Blythe and Allerick jumped out of the cab and ran to me, with Allerick embracing me with his gleeful arms. "Ateeeeeee you're here!" Allerick couldn't keep the smile off his face. "Are you staying here tonight?" I knelt a little so I could reach him. "I won't be around for long; I'm leaving right away. Gemma's here because I wanted to make sure that you were doing okay. So, how's school going? Did I miss anything?" "Well, you missed Blythe's play, but she said it was alright because it wasn't that important," Allerick explained. "But it's a shame because you missed out on seeing how talented Blythe is." Allerick started telling his stories, and he wouldn't quit telling until he finished. Allerick was a big talker, which he inherited from our

I waited for Emmet in the parking lot, exactly where he always parked, after entering the Borstal, rather than going directly to my homeroom. He got out of his car, a black Audi R8 V10, sober, but appeared to have a hangover from the amount of alcohol he drank the night before. Since I anticipated the following morning's events, I made sure to buy hangover remedies before entering the building. "Here," I said, handing him the medicine. "To help with your hangover." "How? Oh, yes, I do recall seeing you at the pub the last night." "Yes, and last night you appeared extremely inebriated," I added. Together, he and I walked to the classroom where we had our regular classes. "The princess has disappeared; where has he gone? You're not with him." "He will be gone for the next two weeks. You know, princely duties," I responded. "Yes, I see. So, it looks like you can go wherever you want now." "Also, Emmet. I was wondering if you could tell me your brother's name." "Did he not tell yo

The horn sounded near midnight, signaling the arrival of the prince and king. We are all required to crawl out of our beds to greet them upon their return. I can't help but feel nervous just thinking about seeing him. I haven't seen him in two weeks, and despite my strong desire to do so, I cannot seem to make it happen because we still have some unfinished business. As the car approached the palace, we lined up in preparation for its arrival. The first person to exit the vehicle was the prince, but no king exited the vehicle. As a sign of our reverence for the prince, we bowed our heads. After two weeks, I was finally able to see the prince again. Our gazes meet, but I can't stand staring at him for long, so I immediately avert my gaze. After the prince reached the head of the line, we left the line. I waited a few minutes before heading back to the room, and once I knew I wouldn't run into the prince, I headed upstairs. At least, that's what I thought would have happened. He remai

We secretly leave the palace before sunrise. This was all planned, but we didn't expect Mr. Osiris to arrive at the same time we did. Fortunately, he was the only person to notice us at that particular moment. Prince and I were just standing, unable to say anything, but Prince wouldn't stop staring at Mr. Osiris as if he was trying to threaten him. The unexpected words from Mr. Osiris caught us off guard. "Go!" "Why don't you stop us?" I queried. "If you don't go right away, I'll stop you," he threatened. "You don't know this, but I'm really good at coming up with excuses." Prince Augustus took my hand in his. "All right, let's go!" I mouthed the words "thank you" to Mr. Osiris before getting into the prince's car. At the back of my mind, I can't help but worry that Mr. Osiris will tell the king we snuck out. But there's something in me that says he is not going to make a choice that will put the prince in danger. "Are you worried?" The prince inquired as the engine began to rev.

“Bienvenido a España!” As we exited the airport, we heard the words being yelled at by a few individuals in the waiting area. “Welcome to España,” We didn't slack off or take a break. We hailed a cab and rushed to the location marked on the piece of paper that Emmet's brother had handed us. The flight from Madrid to Segovia costs 200 euros. His face beamed with anticipation at the prospect of finally reuniting with his mother after so much time had passed. Because he had to go through everything by himself, he had a burning desire to have a person he could call his own mother. When everything seems to be working against him, he doesn't even have anyone to comfort him with a hug. But things are about to change, and Prince Augustus will soon meet the person he has been looking forward to spending time with for a very long time. We've been traveling for about two hours and have reached Pedraza, Segovia. His mother is probably around here somewhere. "Gracias, señor," I said, stumbling o
