The imperial physician came inside and took a reading on Crown Prince’s pulse. “Oh, no,” he gasped. “What is it?” asked the Emperor. “He needs to be treated right now.” “Well, hurry,” ushered the Emperor. “He’s losing too much blood.” The imperial physician lifted the clothing that was binding the Crown Prince’s wound and gasped at the horror of the wounds in his back. “Oh my!” gasped the Emperor, stumbling. The guards caught the Emperor from passing out. “How could this happen!” he shouted. Everyone remained silent. The Emperor grabbed the imperial physician by the collar and said, “You better save the Crown Prince.” “I-I-I will do the best I can. But there’s no guarantee.” Bella sat there in silence. Her tears were still dripping down her face. “Then get to it!” exclaimed the Emperor. “Alright.” The imperial physician looked at Braum and the guards. “Quickly. Carry him into the bed.” “Okay,” said Braum. He and some soldiers lifted Crown Prince up off the ground. As the
Crown Prince woke up to Bella wiping his body. His eyes focused on her pretty face. “Oh, are you awake?” asked Bella. Crown Prince grunted as he was trying to get up. “Don’t get up yet.” “Why?” asked Crown Prince, his voice was coarse. “You have been heavily injured, and you need to slowly move.” “Oh.” “Your wounds are healing, but still we got to make sure they don’t open again.” “Well then how do I move about.” “Where do you want to go?” “Just switching sides for I feel like I’m sore on this side.” “Okay, let me help you.” Crown Prince nodded. He slowly turned over and lay on his side. “Is it better?” “Yes.” “’I should go get the Emperor and Empress Dowager, I’m sure they’re excited to talk to you.” Crown Prince nodded. Bella smiled beautifully at him. “I’m glad you finally woke up.” Crown Prince grabbed her arm and tugged her to him, then he kissed her on her the lips. Bella blushed. He chuckled happily at her. “You-You’re impossible,” she said. She got up and l
Crown Prince held her tightly in his arms.Bella looked up at him as her face was full of sadness.He gasped at her distraught face. Even if she is upset she still looked so beautiful. “Bella…”Bella leaned her head into his chest and lay there quietly for a long time.When Bella stopped crying, she lifted her head from his shoulder. She looked at him lovely with her blue eyes.Crown Prince let out a small gasped at her beautiful grace. He kissed her on the lips.Bella closed her eyes as she let him kiss her.Their kiss soon turned into a sloppy slurping.“Ahh, Crown Prince, we should stop,” panted Bella.“Yes. Until I get better.”Bella chuckled.“Come on, sleep with me.”Bella nodded. She crawled into the bed and slept next to him.In the morning she woke up and looked at his handsome face. She pecked him on the lips and quietly got up from him. When she put on her shoes, she pulled up the curtains and was getting ready to leave, his hands was on her wrist.“Wait,” said Crown Prin
“Because you’re my one and only love and you’re saying words that I regretted saying to you. It’s making me died on the inside. You’re my woman and my wife, and I will shield you with my body all over again,” he wanted to say, but instead he said, “Kiss me and I will let you find out.”Bella gently kissed him on the lips. Sending shivers to his core of wanting her. “Why are you a fool to take such a beating for a useless person like me,” she panted between kissing him.“Because I love you,” he whispers.Tears formed in the back of her eyes. She thought that all of his words before were nothing but lies. But now with him in front of her, telling her that he loves her felt that he really meant it.Bella pushed him and got on top of him. She went down to his lower groin and pulled down his pants. Her hands released him as she felt him hard and bulging. She kissed his tips, and she could hear him hissing loudly.“What are you doing?”“Giving you your punishment.” She started licking and s
Crown Prince was stroking her gently on the arms.Bella stirs at his touch. “Hmm, good morning.”“Good morning,” he said.“I should get up,” she groaned. She lifted the curtain and saw that the sun was high up in the sky already. “Oh, my goodness, it’s late into the day.” She pulled the bed sheet over her naked body and attempted to leave the bed.Crown Prince wrapped his arm around her, preventing her from leaving.“Crown Prince, I really need to get going. I have to go brew your medicine and apply the ointment.”“Later.”Bella pulled on the bed sheet and again tried to get up, but he pulled her to his arms.“Hey-”Crown Prince kisses her wetly on her lips.“Mmmph,” groaned Bella. Her hands gripped the bed sheet tightly. “Crown Prince, we really shouldn’t.He flipped her to lie beneath her.“Everyone knows you’re my woman already.”Bella said with shock, “What!”“After last night, I’m sure everyone in the palace knows what we were doing.”Bella’s eyes widened. “Ah… Well…”“No need to
Crown Prince entered the great hall with Bella. Bella was dressed in a beautiful red and white dress. They both bowed and said, “Greetings, Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager.” “Raise,” said the Emperor. They both lifted up their heads. Princess Kay was sitting next to the Empress. She was clenching her fist tightly as she was furious that Bella was standing next to Crown Prince. The Empress could feel her fuming and patted her hand. She then looked at Bella and said, “As to the case that happened four months ago, I would like to know what actually happened. As I would like to find justice for my son, the Crown Prince and Princess Kay.” Bella didn’t say anything. “Of course, you would try to defend that wicked woman. She is your niece of your beloved brother,” she thought. “But don’t worry I will spill her rotten egg soon enough.” “Who would like to speak first?” asked the Emperor. “I would,” answered Princess Kay. She stood up as she wanted to speak of what happened first
“Wow, go grandmother. You sure know how to play it,” thought Crown Prince. He was trying hard to hide his laughter. FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT “Empress Dowager,” said Crown Prince. “What is it Crown Prince?” asked Empress Dowager. “I want to ask you something,” he said nervously. “What is it that you want to asked?” “Well, what if the woman I want to marry isn’t someone that the Emperor or Empress Dowager wanted?” “What?” “I’m just saying that if I wanted someone as my Crown Princess would you approve?” Empress Dowager smiled at him. Crown Prince stared at her in confusion. “You want to marry Bella?” He gasped as his grandmother knew right away what he wanted to ask. She chuckled at him and took his hands and patted it. “I knew it the moment you came into that Bamboo forest that you were in loved with her.” His eye’s widened. “Was I that obvious?” She nodded. “Yes. It was clearly seen in your face that you wanted her to be yours only. In your eyes shows how much love you h
“I say, have her sent back to her kingdom.”Princess Kay’s eyes widened in anger. “This damn old hag! Just you wait, I will kill you one of these days.”“Mother!” said the Empress.“You dare side with her too?” asked the Empress Dowager. “Empress Dowager, why do you hate me? Didn’t you slap me enough for what I did?” asked Princess Kay, trying to look innocent and weak. The Empress Dowager’s eyes widened at her words. “This woman, how dare she states that I slapped her in public. If words come out that I hit her because I was angry at her then the other kingdom would think that I was arrogant and disrespectful to them. She’s purposely setting me up. But I won’t let her. For she dare hurt my dearest grandson,” she thought. Princess Kay pretended to look sorry and got on her knees. “If you’re still not happy then let me slap myself even more.” She lifted her hands and nervously slapped herself in front of everyone. She kept on slapping herself. The Empress Dowager smiled and thought,
“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
