“Crown Prince,” said Braum. He was running into his tent.“What is it?” asked Crown Prince. He was grunting from the pain of the arrow being pulled from his arm.Braum gasped at the bloody sight.“What?” asked Crown Prince again.“Crown Prince, I got news that Empress Dowager have gone to see Grandmaster Shui’s at his temple.”“So? She’s probably going to pray as usual.”“Umm.”Crown Prince stared at Braum as he hesistated. “What is it?”“Well the scouts came in with reports that Empress Dowager have gone into the bamboo forest.”“Bamboo forest? What about it?”“It’s-It’s where Grandmaster Shui is keeping Rosie.”“What!”“But do not be alarm, Grandmaster Shui was there. I’m sure he was protecting her the whole entire time.”Crown Prince frowned. “You sure.”“That’s what the scout’s reported.”“What is his grandmother planning?” he thought. Crown Prince hurridly wrapped his wounds together.“I don’t think that your grandmother would intend to harm her,” said Braum, with reassurance.“W
Crown Prince road for three nights and two days to finally make it to Grandmaster Shui’s temple. He got off his horse and went straight to the temple. “Greetings,” said a student. The student who took a liking to Rosie eyed him with jealousy. Crown Prince who noticed his stares said, “Where is Grandmaster Shui?” He answered, “Grandmaster Shui is in the bamboo forest.” “With whom?” “With Empress Dowager and Rosie.” “Rosie?” “Yes. That is what he calls her.” Crown Prince walked to him and said, “You will call her her highness from this day forth.” The student bowed down and said, “Yes, your highness.” “Humph.” The Crown Prince walked away from him. He was fuming with jealousy. He couldn’t believe that he send his woman away to be protected from the eyes of men like him and still she came to a place where there’s even more of them. Coming here she still attracted scumbag like him. How he hated his decision now. That man have the look of someone who would take her for one night
“I miss you Bella,” said Crown Prince. He kissed her on the cheek as he stroked her lips with his rough thumb. Bella didn’t say anything as she was unsure of what to say. He’s been demanding of her. He’s been keeping her close. He’s been clingy as well. It’s something she wasn’t used to. “I know it will take you a long time to believe me, but know this, I really do love you.” Bella was stunned by his words. “He said it more than once now. She thought he said it during the heat of their sex only, so it didn’t mean anything. But now, he’s saying it more often than usual. As if he’s trying to tell her that he really does love her. It’s like he is telling her too not be afraid of him anymore. To accept him and love him in return. She was confused by her own feelings, and she didn’t know what to say to him. “Crown Prince lay there naked next to her. “Sleep, before I do anything else to you.” “It’s near dawn already.” “So, you want us to keep going.” Bella gasped. “No. No thank you.
When Crown Prince found her, she was talking to another man. She was laughing with him. Anger sparked his heart. He was mad that she dared talk to this person with such happiness. She never talked to him like that before. Nor had she smiled so radiantly at him before. “You never once looked at me with such warmth before. How dare you laugh with someone else but me. How could you betray me?” he thought. He smashed his fist into the tree, making it shake and it’s leaves falling from the tree.“Oh, look your laughter is so lovely that you’re making the leaves fall,” said the man.Bella let out a soft laughter.A small leaf fell on her shoulder. The man was going to picked off the leaf from her shoulder, but it looked from his angel he was trying to touch her delicate white skin. He gasped at the inappropriate action of this man. “She’s so stupid. She doesn’t even know that this man is having evil intention around her, and she is not even stepping away,” thought Crown Prince. “She’s bein
Tears was in Bella’s eyes as she ran away from the Crown Prince. “You’re already going with that woman you promised your mother. Why would you go with me? You’re just using me. But I don’t know why. I don’t know why you’re going after me when I didn’t even do anything wrong to you. But whatever you’re doing is rather upsetting my heart. Setting me up with false hopes,” she thought. Crown Prince didn’t like how they both departed. He hated how they went separate ways with misunderstanding. What angers him the most is that she went to another man to comfort herself for his doing. But it’s not like he did anything wrong to her. He was just trying to protect her from his mother. She didn’t even let him explain and went to betray him. How unfaithful she is. Of course, being so beautiful, finding men will come easy to her. Men will also come to her as she was very attractive. He clenched as he remembered her smiling at Peter.Unknowingly Crown Prince was following her. Soon they walked aro
“Watch, in the future you will see and understand what I am saying to you.” Bella didn’t think much of his words and bowed and left. The student who fell in love with Bella looked at her as she was sad. He frowned and thought, “If I was the man in your heart, I wouldn’t dare to make you sad. For I would love you with all of my heart and never go with anyone but you,” he thought. Grandmaster Shui watched as Bella walked back into the bamboo forest. “Cheng,” said Grandmaster Shui. “I want you to kneel in front of the ancestors for the next three days.” Cheng gasped at his words. He then said, “But Grandmaster Shui, I am supposed to take Miss Li to the lantern festival.” “You are relieved of your duties,” said Grandmaster Shui calmly. He then walked away. “But why?” asked Cheng, with anger. “I told you before. I told you to stay away from her as she belongs to the Crown Prince, but you didn’t heed my warning.” Grandmaster Shui was watching them from afar. He saw Cheng’s reaction
Princess Kay is the niece of the Empress. She’s from another kingdom sent to live with the Empress. She’s been living in the palace for over three years now. Her purpose was to attract the Crown Prince’s attention and become one of his woman. With the help of the Empress, she was going to try to become the future Empress. Princess Kay is eighteen years old. She had brown hair with brown eyes. She was a very demanding and feisty princess. When she doesn’t get it her way she would go stomping to the Empress. Crying and whining until she gets it her way. If she doesn’t win, then she complains about being mistreated because she’s a princess from another kingdom. The Empress would heed to her and pleased her as she was her favorite brother’s daughter. The Empress would do anything to appease her brother, for she was his only living relative left. “Empress, I want to see the Crown Prince,” complained Princess Kay. “Princess Kay remembered that Crown Prince is a busy man. He will come se
“Wow, would you look at that,” said Princess Kay. Crown Prince was trying his best to enjoy his time with Princess Kay. He didn’t want to keep thinking about Bella. He wanted something to distract his mind. But somehow, he couldn’t. Every now and then his mind kept wandering to her. He wonders if she really did come out of the temple to meet Peter. His jealousy was getting the best of him. “Oh, look there’s a beautiful maiden by the river,” said a man. “Oh really? Well, let’s go take a look,” said another young man. Princess Kay scoffed. In her kingdom she was known to be the most beautiful woman. But here everyone says she’s just average. There were indeed many beautiful women, but she still feels that her beauty is far superior then theirs. She is also a princess and the favorite daughter of her father. Crown Prince frowned at the men words. He wondered who it was that everyone was going to look at. “Humph! I want to go see who this woman they’re all talking about. I want to s
“Ouch,” grunted Wallace. “What?” asked Bella. “That hurt.” He sucked on his thumb as the blood came forth from his skin. Bella chuckled softly. “Well that’s good, I guess.” Wallace looked at her in confusion. “What do you mean?” “It means you’re feeling pain. Which is a good sign.” “Of?” “Of you becoming human again.” Wallace’s eyes lit up. “Really?” Bella nodded her head. “Yes. I did promise you, didn’t I?” He tilted his head at her. “I said I will make you normal again.” “How? By poking me every day?” “It’s called acupuncture. It’s to test your blood flow.” He frowned at her words. She lifted his hand to her and said, “See, your veins are looking normal again. Instead of being black and blue, it’s becoming a normal color.” He pulled his hand to his face as he looked at the veins. He didn’t even notice that his blood vessels were becoming normal again. Bella pulled his hand into her breasts and said, “Feel me.” He frowned at her, but he didn’t hesitate as he wanted
Bella and Wallace carried their six month son up the stairs of the mountain passage towards Joseph’s house.“Great-uncle Joseph,” said Wallace.“Master Joseph,” called out Bella.“Odd, where did he go?” asked Wallace.Bella shook her head, “I don’t know.”“Are you sure he’s home?” asked Wallace.“Well, I’m sure he is. Maybe he went somewhere. Hopefully he will be back soon.”Kevin started to cry.“Oh, maybe he’s hungry. Why don’t you feed him while I go look for my great-uncle.”Bella nodded.“I’m over here,” said Joseph’s voice.They both gasped as they heard his voice, echoing around them. They walked around the house to the end of the patio. There they saw him floating with a glow around him.“Master Joseph,” gasped Bella.“Great-uncle, have you cross over?” asked Wallace.Joseph nodded at them. “Yes. I am finally at peace and is able to go rest now.”“When? When did you ascended?”“Shortly after I brought you back from the dead.”Wallace gasped. “So, that’s why there was the thund
THREE DAYS PASS“What should I do when I see her?” asked Wallace.“Whatever your heart desires,” answered his great-uncle, Joseph.“Desire?”“Yes.”Wallace moved a tree branch as he saw Bella walking out of the small house. He gasped it was indeed her. She didn’t leave with her parents. She didn’t go back to her phoenix clan.Joseph looked at Wallace and said, “Tell her the truth. The whole truth. Let there be no more misunderstanding between the both of you two.”“Alright,” nodded Wallace.“And…”“And what?”“Tell her or show her, either way your love for her.”“Yes. That for sure I will do.”“Good.”“All I ever wanted was her. That’s the reason why I went through all of this. Is to be with her.”“Then you should spend your time wisely with her.”“Yes, time is valuable.”“It is indeed.”“Remember that you two are meant to be. There was a reason why both of you have become what you are now.”Wallace nodded.His great-uncle walked away and left him to approach his wife.Wallace stood i
POOF went a small white smoke. His great-uncle was coughing. “Are you okay?” asked Crown Prince, his spirit floated towards his great-uncle. Joseph coughed and cleared his throat. “Yes. I’m fine, but how are you?” “Pardon?” “How do you feel now?” “I feel warmth in my soul, and something funny in my feet and legs.” “Oh.” “His great-uncle sprinkled some yellow dust on his hands.” “Is that what’s causing my hands to be all tingly.” His great-uncle nodded. “So, are we close?” “Are we almost there.” “Yes, a bit more and you will be back. However, know this, you will be back but in a dead body.” Crown Prince gasped. “I’m sorry, this is how the resurrection works.” “So, I will be dead, but alive?” His great-uncle looked at him and asked, “Yes. Are you okay with that?” Crown Prince nodded. “Yes. Yes, I am.” “Good. At least you accept that concept.” “And it must be my own body, correct?” “Correct. It must be your own body for it the resurrection to work.” “Alright. I prefe
On the third night, everything was quiet. The dead of night soon left everyone tired. Soon everyone went to bed and took a good rest. Crown Prince great-uncle Joseph sneaked in and swapped out Crown Prince’s body with another dummy that looked like him. “Crown Prince, I know how much you love her, so one last attempt I will try to recreate what my master did,” whispered his uncle Joseph. “Resurrection of the dead.” Crown Prince’s spirit was watching with horror as his great-uncle carried his body away from his casket. His great-uncle was committing a crime by taking his body away. His great-uncle Joseph jumped the wall and hopped through the sleepy guards. “Great-uncle what are you doing? Why are you not letting me be buried?” he thought. His spirit being with his body, floated along side him. Soon they were getting close to his great-uncle’s home.“Oh, why is my great-uncle taking my body here,” thought Crown Prince. His spirit drifted above his great-uncle, observing where he w
Bella came right in time as they carried Crown Prince’s dead body down the street. Everyone was crying and mourning the great loss of a good prince.Bella couldn’t believe with her own eyes that he was really dead. She gasped and started crying. Kick. Kick. Kick.Bella’s hand went to rub her belly. “Oh, my goodness. Heaven is playing a cruel trick on me. I left him to give him peace with the woman his parents choose. But he refuses. He chose to leave, leaving me behind. Leaving me and his child behind.” she thought. “How she would never be able to share the news that she was still carrying his child.” The thought of never seeing him again ached painfully in her sore heart. Tears were dripping uncontrollably down her face. “How could you be so cruel to me,” she cried. “How could you make me so miserable even after you die,” she thought.Bella watched as his casket passed her. She gasped as she saw him. She could clearly still see his handsome face. How she ached to touch him. To hol
“Bella!” shouted Master Joseph. “Yes?” asked Bella. She put down her pail of water. “Crown Prince-Crown Prince…” “What? What’s wrong with him?” Master Joseph didn’t even know where to start. He wasn’t sure how to tell Bella. The news will be devasting to her as she stayed behind in the mortal realm for him, but now that he’s gone the only other person, she will be living for is her child. Bella frowned. “Master Joseph?” “Bella, I’m sorry,” said Master Joseph, clenching his fists together. “What-What is it?” “The Crown Prince is dead.” Bella gasped in shock. She nearly fainted at his words. “Bella!” shouted Master Joseph. He caught her before she hit the ground. “Oh, my goodness. I’m sorry. I didn’t think that it would cause you to nearly pass out.” Bella was breathing hard as she was trying to comprehend what was going on. “I-I just thought that you would want to know. That you want to hear about his death. I wouldn’t want you to be caught by surprise.” Bella looked at
Crown Prince slowly opened up his eyes. He was trying to focus his visions as he stared up into the ceiling. Everything looked familiar. It was as if he was back in his room. He looked around and saw that he was indeed inside his room. Then a tear fell from the side of his eyes. “I’m back in the palace. Inside my room. Inside our bedchamber. On the bed where we first made love. But where are you? You’re nowhere to be found. What’s the whole point of being back if you’re not here,” he thought. “Crown prince?” asked the eunuch, as he saw the crown prince’s eyes opened. Crown Prince kept staring at the ceiling. The eunuch saw the tear that rolled down the side of his face. He gasped as the crown prince was indeed awake. He dropped the medicine in his hands and ran out the door. He was excited that the crown prince was alive and well. “Your majesty!” shouted the eunuch. The maids and servants once again looked at the emperor’s eunuch running through the palace halls again. Screaming
Bella was sitting by the waterfall listening to the sound of the water. For some reason that day her heart was feeling heavy. It was as if something was wrong. But what? She couldn’t figure out what was bothering her. FLASHBACK On the day that she was supposed to ascend to the heavenly realm, she hesitated as she couldn’t forget about her husband, the crown prince. Her love that she had for him was undying. The memories of him couldn’t be wiped away. For she still loves him. Her aching affection for him couldn’t be undone with any magic. No spells will be able to keep her sorrow at bay. Kick. Kick. Kick. Bella could feel her baby moving inside of her. She was nearly seven months. How could she bear to kill her own child that was growing inside of her. Her child that kept her company out of the days of her loneliness. “Bella, in order to step into the heavenly world, you must first get rid of that child in your belly,” said her father. Kick. Kick. Bella rubbed her belly as she t
