BELLE'S P.O.V“What are you talking about?”How come it happened a month ago when I can still feel that it just happened yesterday?"Stop fooling around. Just tell me what happened while I was asleep. Why are we here in the mansion?"This is irritating me. It's not only my plans that got interrupted but others too. And yet, here they are, fooling around.“My lady, we’re serious right now. Can’t you remember what happened after you fainted?”I tried to remember after that, but nothing came to my mind.“I can't remember. You should tell me the exact thing that had happened. Don’t joke anymore. It’s not funny.”Both of them look at each other.“We should sit first, my lady.”May instructed me to sit down.“Now, tell me.”They’re staring at me intently.“My lady, this is what really happened after you fainted….”“WHAT?”“Are you telling me that I went crazy after I fainted?”May and Arkanghel nodded.“But I can’t remember anything, and that’s impossible to happen. Why would I believe you?
BELLE'S P.O.VI talked to Joanna and told her that I would not be needing a maid anymore. But she doesn't have to worry because I will give her a letter of recommendation so she will be able to apply to another noble family if she wants.She doesn't want to go at first. She keeps saying things like this and that, but I don't know what to say since I am not the one who promised her anything when she was given this job.I felt guilty for letting her go, but I didn't really have a choice since I didn't know her origin. Also, I didn't want anybody that didn't come from an agency to enter my household. I just don't want to put our lives at risk because of someone we didn't know, someone who we didn't know the origin of, roaming around the mansion freely anytime, that's a big no-no.I am still not sure if Count Bourbone really stops planning to kill me. So it's better to be safe as early as possible."How about these things, my lady?”“You can throw that away or sell it, whatever you like.”
BELLE'S P.O.VThis is the day that Hendrick and Inodin will go to the mansion to talk to me. I am still thinking if I should tell them the truth or not. Although they are trustworthy people, I'm not still not convinced whether they will believe me or not.But I don't really have a choice right now because of what happened. I don't want to lose my head because of future events. If this continues, I should tell them the truth. Whether it's now or never."How is the preparation?""Everything's good, my lady.""Will it be alright if I tell them the truth?""If you think that it's a good idea and will clear the misunderstandings, you should really tell them." I bit my lip. I decided to tell Hendrick and Inodin the truth; let's just hope they will believe me.May told me that she needed to go outside to prepare the garden.We are now preparing for their visit. May and Arkanghel are joining forces to move the furniture I bought through urgent notice.Thankfully, it came earlier than I expe
BELLE'S P.O.V"So, what would you like to say to me?He dropped his gaze to mine.The princess seemed to be enraged."I'd want to apologize to the princess for what I've done previously; I realize it's a little late, but I still want you to know that I reflect on what-"She stopped me by raising her hand."What exactly is it?""Okay, I accept your apologies."My pupils dilated.Is this the same princess I know? I was watching her, but I couldn't determine if she was kidding with her facial expressions.Is she saying she's serious?What transpired? Why did she suddenly accept my apologies despite the fact that I hadn't spoken anything?"Please forgive me, my princess, but-""No, no, you're not required to say anything. Stop apologizing so that I can alter my mind. What happened to your tea? ”My mouth dropped open.I never expected the princess would accept my apologies and instead want a cup of tea."Arkanghel, get the tea and the pastries ready."Arkanghel made an oblique move to the
BELLE'S P.O.V"Do you think this is all right?"I showed him what I was holding. Before he responds, he inspects it for a few moments."Yes, my lady," I said. Okay.""Should I place this somewhere?"He gestures to the bag near the stone, where our carriage is waiting."That's okay, my lady."I gave a nod of approval.“Alright.”I walked to my bag and placed the items in my hand inside.We're presently gathering leaves for which I have no idea what the advantages are. But Hendrick advised me to just go ahead and do it.He stated that he would require this in the event that monsters attacked us. Although that is difficult because this location is well-kept, and monsters rarely visit. Nonetheless, I obey him.We've been choosing those curves for two hours now. It's already early afternoon.And I'm starting to get hungry!I cast a peek at Hendrick. I couldn't believe he was actually accompanying me on my journey.Who would have thought that the person with whom you rarely communicate migh
BELLE'S P.O.VGoodness.I can feel my body shaking just looking at the monster in front of us. Shit, I heard Hendrick cast beside me..“We should look for another direction,” he said to coachman Fernando. While I was still panicking on my spot, I tightened my grip on the rope. “Let's go that way!” Hendrick shouted to the coachman.They change direction to where there are no monsters. But it hasn't been a few minutes when a group of monsters appear in front of us.What should we do? I can now understand the situation. We are surrounded by monsters that we couldn't even realize they are here even before Hendrick and Fernando had a decision. We heard the huge monster roar. I was shocked because it was so loud that it hurt my eardrums.But what shocked me more is how it ran towards our direction.“I will deal with this.” Suddenly, Fernando shouted.“Are you sure, Hendrick?” What is he going to do? Is he going to fight those monsters by himself?“Yes, secure the safety of the lady.
BELLE'S POVI woke up feeling like there's something touching me. It's kind of hard and hairy at the same time. It's ticklish.What's that?Later on, I felt like I was being lifted. I tried to move my body but there's a hard thing around me that keeps me from moving.What's that?I tried to open my eyes to see what's happening. At first, I saw a brown hard wall beside me.Oh, that's why it's hard.I roam my eyes around me. On my left, I can see the outside of the cave. It's raining…But, why do I feel like I'm moving? At that moment, I realized that I was floating, the ground was below me. "Huh?" My eyes widened. "You're awake, my lady."My eyes landed on where the voice came from.Just above my face, there's Hendrick's face. Hendrick?I was confused at the moment but my eyes widened more when I realized where I was.I'm in Hendrick's arms!Goodness!"Pardon my rudeness my lady, but I have to move you because you'll get soaked from the rain."Oh… I nodded my head.I couldn't ans
BELLE'S P.O.V.After we were done eating, we just sat in the cave. There is nothing much to do since we are both waiting for the rain to stop. I am glad that there's a corner in this cave that we can use as our bathroom since we can't go outside because of the rain.It would be embarrassing if there was no place here where we could hide when we need to be or something. "My lady…" I glanced at Hendrick weirdly because the way he called me was kind of slow. "What is it?" I asked."What do you plan to do after getting what you wanted to get in the north?""Hmm…" I looked at him again. He seems really curious about what I will do after getting what I want to do. But right now, I don't really have in mind what I will do next. I don't have any other plans except renovating the mansion and knowing why the original Belle can still occupy this body. Oh right, should I ask about his recommendation of what is the best place to spend my time forever? Since I plan to buy a house in the co
KRISTOFF'S P.O.V"I greet the crown prince…"Everyone is bowing their heads and greeting me with a smile.I greet them back while I am still walking. I am now on my way to my office because I have some work left to do as I left early yesterday because my mother asked for our presence.I really don't want to live to work but since I am a mother then I don't really have a choice. I can't reject her after all…When I finally reach my office, my assistant Jack greets me."I greet-""stop it.i tapped his shoulder and stopped him from greeting me i went inside my office and he followsi already told you that i don't need you to greet me every time we see each otheri went straight to my table and check for the papers immediatelyjack went beside me and assist me on what paper i should check firstthat can't be, you are the crown prince while i am your assistant.so? i already told you that you shouldn't do it and it is an order from the crown prince so why did you keep on insisting on doin
BELLE'S P.O.V"Dianne slowed down!"I kept calling for her name, but she wasn't paying attention to me.She just kept on running until she reached her father.Goodness!Why does she keep on making me worry?!I slowly walked when I saw that she was now safe in her father's hands.I saw them laughing while the little one beside him was just quiet and reading a book in the corner.He minds his business without giving attention to the people around him."I told you not to run in the hallway. What if you slip and you hit your head?" I told Dianne, but she just giggled and hugged her father tightly.I walked toward them and gave them a kiss. I put the snacks that I brought on the table beside Kristoff."How's your work?" Hendrick pulled me after he put Dianne down. "It's fun! There's a lot of new dresses that we'll release soon." "That's good! How about you?"Hendrick hugged me from behind before he answered."It's just the same every day…."I can't help but laugh at what he said."You'r
BELLE'S P.O.V"How is everything?" I asked May and Arkanghel. They are now preparing for the grand party that the emperor is preparing."Everything's going fine, my lady. We are now making sure that everything will go smoothly at the party.""That is great!"I walked in their direction and looked at the stuff inside the box that she was holding."Is this the invitation?""Yes, my lady.""You are working hard!""Well, a raise in salary is all I want."I couldn't help but laugh."Yes, I know!"May shrugged, then continued arranging the invitations.We are now preparing because we are the ones who were tasked to do it.It is insane that the emperor wanted to hold a party, but he let someone outside the palace handle it and that people are us.Sometimes, I really couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.It's been a few months since the incident between Sebastian's plan and Georgia occurred.It has been many months since Hendrick and I talked about us.Since then, we have begun t
BELLE'S P.O.VI told May to send the letter to their recipients.While waiting for their answer, I did some exercises to refresh my mind.But it looks like people are inquisitive about Hendrick because they kept on asking those near him about this and that, and as expected, I am one of those people they kept on pestering every day.That is why I have a hard time relaxing these days."Do you want me to kill them, my lady? Arkanghel showed up."Hey, what are you talking about? Don't joke about something like that.""All right."Arkanghel raised both of his arms in the air."Why are you here anyway?"These days, it is hard to see Arkanghel as he is dealing with Sebastian, and he is still looking for those people who were with Sebastian when he did those evil plans.As for May, I think she is preparing for something.I am not sure what it is, but I saw her buy something from the capital. It's like an accessory, and I heard that she also goes to Inodin's place.But when I asked her about
BELLE'S P.O.V"My lady, wake up."I heard someone calling me.When I opened my eyes, I saw May and arkanghel beside me. I looked around to see that I was already in my room. Wait, I remember what happened to me and I am sure that I am crying in Hendrix's arms, so why am I here already? "What happened?"I sat on the bed, May assisted me."You fell asleep while crying my lady."Arkanghel said.Huh, I fell asleep while crying in Hendrick's arms?That is embarrassing!"Where is he now?"I was referring to Hendrick."He is out and he told us that he has something important to do so he will not be able to greet you when you wake up, my lady." "It's okay!"I suddenly felt embarrassed because Hendrick helped me but I just slept on him while I was crying.I almost wanted to avoid him because there's a lot of things that happened to me that are embarrassing and it's all related to him.But wait!"How is Sebastian?" I asked Arkanghel, he stared at me for a moment and said,"He is doing fine
BELLE'S P.O.VI don't know how to react because in front of me is Sebastian's body, which is full of blood and bruises.He was tied up sitting on a chair, but I couldn't see his face.Is he sleeping?Arkanghel opened the gate, and we entered the prison. I ambled to where he was, and as soon as I was in front of him, I could confirm that it was him."What is he doing here?" I asked arkanghel."He is the one who made you experience those hellish prisons, my lady.""What? No! I think you are mistaken! Sebastian is kind. He will not do something like that to me!"I think Arkanghel got the wrong person because Sebastian has been kind to me ever since the first time we met, not to mention that he is the one who saved me from that place.So how come it is Sebastian who is the mastermind of that incident?"Please release him from this cell, Arkanghel. He is not the mastermind of what happened in prison," I told him.I expect Arkanghel to release Sebastian, but he didn't bulge on moving. He's
BELLE'S P.O.VHuh?"What did you say?"What is he saying all of a sudden?Did I hear it right?"Did I hear it correctly?"Hendrick's face looked nervous.He couldn't meet my eyes.Is he joking with me this time?"Come on, Hendrick, stop fooling around, " I told him.But he remained silent. The position of his face is still the same, so I couldn't help but be suspicious of him.How come he is a prince when there's only one prince in this empire?And isn't he a mercenary? How did he become a prince all of a sudden?I let out a heavy sigh before I stare at him."You know what, I am happy that you are trying your best to gain my trust again, and I know that what you said is true based on what happened last night. But then, if you're trying to fool me early this morning, I think you should stop it. It's not funny, okay?"I didn't know that Hendrick had this side of him, that he would tell jokes early this morning, and that his trick isn't even funny.Why would someone tell the other person
BELLE'S P.O.V."What are you doing?"I shouted as I tried to keep my hair off of her hand.But I couldn't do better because she is unexpectedly more vigorous."Stop pulling my hair!She is pulling it so hard that my scalp is starting to eat already.Everyone around me joined me in shouting while the others stopped Georgia from pulling my hair."Hendrick is mine alone! He didn't deserve you! I am the one for him! I am the only one who can make him happy the most!"She continued to drag my hair, and it became worse when people started to stop her as if it only made her stronger even more.Ouch! I feel like my scalp is already bleeding!I tried my best to grab her hand, and I succeeded, but the force she was applying while pulling my hair only decreased slightly.We were surrounded by many people who were trying to stop her. A few minutes later, her hand was instantly removed from my hair."Ah!"I collapsed on the floor because my feet ached from all the pressure I put into them to stop
BELLE'S P.O.Vthere comes the person who made all this mess. She is comfortable sitting on a beautiful and expensive couch as if she didn't do anything wrong to someone.she looked proud and happy at the same timeI walked towards her direction and when I was near her she finally noticed me.Unlike others who will greet someone especially in a higher position than you, she didn't greet me, she didn't even bother standing and giving her respect to me.That act made me angrier.She is really one of a kind woman.Who would have thought that the kind and innocent girl in the comic would act this way?I wanted to scold her right away and asked her why she changed so much.But did she really change or is this her true behavior? Maybe the comic just writes her as kind and innocent so that the readers would love her. maybe this is her true nature since then.I just couldn't figure it out before but now I am certain that this isn't the Georgia that I know from the comic.Now that I am certai
