PHILIP'S POVMy plans didn't go well. They didn't go the way I planned them to be. My plan for today is to celebrate her birthday at her house with decorations and then she'll blow the candle and I'll give her the bouquet and give then we'll eat and we'll go the the park which I reserved ahead of time.But I'm happy for her since she's genuinely happy today. Her Father whom left her years ago showed up on her birthday. And I can see that she's so happy. I couldn't give the flowers since her Father already gave her one and I'm shy to give it to her now."Phil, come let's eat" Lia called me. We're done singing her a Happy Birthday."handsome man, let's eat" her Father called me as well. "No thanks, Sir, Lia. I need to leave now, I still have something to do" I smiled at them. I saw how Lia lose her smile but I just scrunched my nose."Sir, I'll go now. I just helped her to decorate her house for her birthday. I'm sorry again" I said. They let me go nicely and I literally left with
Philip's Pov"are you sure you're fine?" Mom asked. We're now on her favorite place of the palace— the garden.Sophie on the other hand is playing on her playground just right infront of Mom's little tea table."of course, she's happy then I'm happy" I answered. We just had breakfast but we're having tea again, Mom just never get fat. Wherein Amelia always go on a diet since she says that she easily get fat but I don't even notice it, she's always beautiful no matter her size. Gosh, I remembered Amelia again. I remember her in many random things, random thoughts."how about I pay her a visit as well?" Mom asked which made me spit my tea. Mom panicked and gave me a handkerchief ,"careful, is it that surprising?"I just nodded. It is indeed surprising. Mom doesn't like to leave the palace, she just leaves if it's really that important."but you don't like leaving the castle" I mouthed and wiped my lips with the handkerchief that she gave, good thing I didn't spilled the tea to my clo
AMELIA'S POV"visit me from time to time okay?" I asked Dad as it's already 3pm and he needs to leave. His house is so far from here, he wants to sleep here in my house but I told him not to. He has a family and I don't want my little sister to miss him. Yes, I have a little sister from his wife now."visit me too if you have enough time" he said. I just nodded and when he was about to leave, he turned around to look at me. "that guy from before, I really thought that I've seen him somewhere" he pointed out again. He keeps on saying that, he said that he already saw Philip somewhere before but he can't just remember. "really? that's good then" I just giggled, joking."no boyfriends okay? my sweet?" he said."Dad, your sweet is already 28 today. I'm getting old" I just joked."if you'll have one, tell me. I'll put him under interrogation" he joked but it's almost not a joke since he's so serious while saying it. "okay, okay" I just answered. And then after greeting me a happy birth
AMELIA'S FATHER'S POV"I sure have seen him somewhere" I kept on saying to myself. I'm now back to our house and I tries so hard to remember where have I seen the friend of my daughter."what are you thinking, honey? you looks so serious" my wife pointed out and sat beside me. We're here at the living room and we're watching some television show."nothing, don't mind me" I just shrugged it.I'll make sure to remember it. AMELIA'S POV"can I like you?" Philip asked while holding my hands. I looked in his eyes and he seemed genuine. My eyes fell on the bouquet which he gave me.I actually don't know what to feel."uhm," I thought "it's your feelings, I have nothing to do with it" I don't understand what I feel. It's pretty shocking for me.For all this time, Philip likes me?"now that I already had permission to like you, would all the things we always do stays the same? or are you feeling awkward?" he asked.I just looked at him."can I court you?" he asked which made me more shocke
PHILIP'S POVI am so hesitant to tell Mom about how it have gone yesterday. But then, at the end I still told her. She deserves to know it, she's my Mom after all."it's fine, she said that she'll think about it. But then, no matter what her answer would be, just accept it with all your heart and never leave a hate towards her, okay?" Mom told me."how can I hate her?" I asked. Hating Amelia would be the last thing I would even think about. I could never do that. She's very precious and therefore I would not have grudge nor hate against her.It's her choice after all and knowing Amelia, she never do a decision without thinking much about it. That's why no matter her decision would be, I just know that she already thought about it over and over again. My Amelia is so intelligent, never underestimate her. Well, no one does, Phil.AMELIA'S POVThe day after my birthday screams clean up. Of course I need to clean up as I didn't do it last night.I started with popping the balloons and
AMELIA'S POV"are you that uncomfortable?" he asked again. He keeps on asking that while we're eating at the living room. "no, Phil. No" I answered again. He have already asked that question for about so many times now. After a minute he asked me again "are you really feeling uncomfortable around me now?" he asked again. Giving up, I decided to stood up and move to sit next to him. "again, it's a no" I answered. I faced him and he looked happy now."wait, I'm having butterflies" he said and put down her food on the table and quickly stood up and jumped over and over again and he covered his mouth with his hands. I just laughed as he looks so crazy, he's overreacting. I only sat next to him but his reactions are already so funny. "stop" I laughed. "wow, even your laugh gives me butterflies" he said and covered his mouth with his hands."just stop, Phil. You're so funny" I pointed out and I signaled him to take a seat and without a second thought, he sat in a very swift motion.
AMELIA'S POVI switched sides where I felt the most comfortable and was so shock when I noticed that I'm hugging Philip!I didn't noticed that I slept. I was just watching television earlier.I quickly stood up and slapped my face. How could you sleep. "what's wrong?" he asked. I looked back and saw that Philip is looking at me and he looks very confused. "n-nothing" I just answered. I looked at my wall clock and it's already 5pm, so I slept for how many hours. "did you fell asleep as well?" I asked Philip. He nodded. "When I saw that you fell asleep, I just thought of sleeping as well" he answered without much thought. He stood up as well as if nothing happened. We always doze off before and I don't feel anything about it but now, there's something that makes me feel like... I don't know. "we both forgot to have lunch" he chuckled and started cleaning up. What I like about him is that he's clean. He always cleans up. I just sat on the sofa again and watched him. I know it'
AMELIA'S POVI stopped on my tracks to really look if it is Philip. I even squinted my eyes as it's far.Is it him? but, why would he even be in the castle?Well, the guy which I thought was Philip is already gone in my sight."what are you thinking, Amelia. You should be in a hurry by now, you're already late" I scolded myself and started to walk again, but now, a little more faster. I walked very fast that finally arrived on the place."thank you, Ma'am" I smiled and waved. She's so kind, she paid for the painting and I left. Now, I can take my time to go home as I don't have any more deliveries for today.When I reached the castle, Philip came to my mind. Was it really him? but then, I doubt that. Why would he even be in the palace in the first place?When I have gone passed the castle, someone touched me which made me freak out. I looked back and saw Philip laughing."was it you?" I asked as I gently feel my heart as I was so shock earlier ,"who touched me just now?""yes, Miss
AMELIA'S POV"so, who is she?" I asked and smiled at Philip, "it seems like, she has a grudge against me" I tried to laugh, but Philip didn't. "She's-she's Princess Dahlia" he answered and stopped eating the strawberries. I nodded. She's pretty. "she's your fiancee. She must be angry that I am here" I answered. "both my parents like you more, plus, I can't stand her attitude" she answered. "why? both of you are in the same level. You look good together too" I answered. "Amelia" he called and held my hand. "Philip" I called as well. "If it is not you, it's not anyone right. You're the only one I like and if there's someone I want to get married with, it's obviously you" he answered."but, how about her?" I asked. "don't mind her. She won't bother us anymore" he answered. I just nodded. I don't want to keep thinking about it, but I just can't. I wanna know more about her."is there anything you're curious about?" he asked.Did he read my mind?"a lot actually" I answered. T
AMELIA'S POV Today is my third day here in the castle. Almost feel like forever indeed. I decided to stay here and not leave as I don't want to leave Philip. I don't want to hurt Philip, but it is already me who is hurting. I don't think so if this is still healthy, but otherwise, as long as he is happy, I am happy. I sat on top of my bed and from here I looked around.Today, the Queen asked me to have tea with her, but I said I couldn't. I said that I am not feeling well which is absolutely a lie since I am feeling very well today, in fact I have a lot of energies. It's just that, as much as I can, I don't want to be in the same place as her. When she's around, it feels suffocating. Before, I look up at her so much that I even admire the entire her, her personality, her looks, how she moves. But, now that I already know how she thinks, she's kinda selfish indeed. Another day, anothrer day of missing home. Philip said that he'll do anything so that I can feel the same comf
AMELIA'S POVI stayed with Princess Sophie since she was crying over and over again. Now, she took me somewhere outside the Palace. Now, I just realized that the palace indeed is so wide, both from the inside and outside."Now, what should we do?" I asked since she brought me to an empty field. "We are going to my tree house" she smiled.Tree House.I suddenly remembered Gone. Is she eating well? does she still remember me? does she even miss me? does she still go to my shop? how's Charles?As I was about to tear up again, I contained my tears and smiled at Sophie."Are we there yet?" I asked."a bit more, Princess Amelia" she politely answered. "Okay, Princess Amelia will be patient" I answered and smiled at her.I looked around and it somewhat feels less suffocating here. I feel like I am more comfortable here.As we continue to walk, we reached a big tree house. Wow, it is huger than I thought it would be."This is yours?" I asked."yes, my brother built it for me" she answered w
AMELIA'S POV"why did you do that?" I asked Philip as we walk inside the Castle.We just had breakfast and Philip said he'll tour me around.Well, he might as well do so since I'm planning on leaving tonight. I just wanna leave today, this is not comfortable.Well, the pros is that I can experience being a Princess and have proper conversations with the royals. But then, my conscience just can't.I don't like lying. "love?" Philip suddenly called so I got back from my consciousness."yes, love?" I asked and smiled."you were dozing off. Is something wrong?" he asked. He seems pretty worried. "did I just did that?" I asked."yeah. Is something wrong, love? what's our problem?" he asked. That made me smile. He always is the one who have concern on me."no, there's nothing wrong. So, what did you just said again?" I asked, of course I should divert the topic. "I said that I love you" he whispered to me.I hit him."Philip, stop" I said with my authoritative voice."okay, my Prince
AMELIA'S POV"that's your reaction? really? I'm quite disappointed" I answered truthfully. I mean, there's no point in lying though. I'll say my thoughts anyways. It's only the two of us, I know he doesn't mind me being honest with him. He giggled. "come here" he said, but ended up being the one who actually came to me and gave me a hug.I sniffed and smelled his scent. "you smells nice" I said and let go of him. "glad you liked it" he responded. "I didn't said that I liked it" I answered. "but you just said that I smells nice, that means you like it" he insisted.I grinned."not because you smells nice, doesn't me I like it" I answered again.What's with this fuss by the way?"then, don't you like me smelling nice?" he asked."of course I do" I answered."that's my girl" he hugged me again.We're just talking nonsense when we heard a knock coming from the door."Princess Amelia? the breakfast is ready. Please proceed to the garden" a sweet voice said. I looked at Philip."sho
AMELIA'S POVAfter having a little chitchat with Sophie, I put her to sleep since it's midnight and she needs to sleep more. In my shock, Philip entered the room right after Sophie slept. "what are you doing here?" I asked in a whisper, scared that I might woke Sophie up. "here to visit you, I waited for you outside but you're not coming back" he whispered as well. I pulled him out of the room so that we won't wake Sophie up. Yeah, I remembered her name."you have been waiting?" I asked. He scratched the back of his head."yeah" he smiled."for how long?" I asked. "how long have you been inside? that's how long I has been waiting. I saw you left your room and saw how scared you were when you heard Sophie's cry" he laughed. I immediately hit him."then you know that I was lost. Why didn't you approached me?" I asked with a big question mark on my face.He gave me a genuine smile. The smile he always give me everytime he stares at me."I just wanna watch my Princess" he smiled ,"y
[THIS IS A FLASHBACK FROM WHEN AMELIA WAS STILL IN THE PALACE]AMELIA'S POV"what?" I asked the Queen ,"you lied to the King? what if he'll find out?" "he'll never find out so please enjoy your stay here, okay? Princess Dahlia is not coming if you're here. Knowing Philip, I know that he's just being patient with her" she answered.She tapped my shoulders and gave me a loving smile. After that, she left the room, leaving me on the terrace.I'm a Princess? I clearly am not.I entered the room and looked around it.How can I lie to the King? I don't wanna lie. I feel bad.I looked around the room once again and reality hits me."I don't deserve this, I'm a no Princess. How can I even enjoy these stuffs when all of it is just a lie?" I asked myself.Here I am again, talking to myself.I go outside the room again to watch the city. From here, I can see my shop. But, I can't seen it well as it's quite too far. I sighed. I need to get out of this. I don't want to suffer the consequences o
AMELIA'S POVI looked at Charles and Lorna who are washing the dishes right now. They're having so much fun and I can't help but to smile.I wish them genuine happiness.I wish for their relationship to work out and not hurt each other. While sitting here and watching a movie, I saw a familiar guy outside. My body is still sore, it aches so much, but good thing, it wasn't like before. Before, it hurts so much to the point that I can't even walk properly. The familiar guy is Phil.I know him so well to the point that I know even his shadow.I stood up slowly. I didn't made any noise so that they wouldn't notice that I left. I opened the door and Phil immediately turn around and looked at me. His eyes are so teary and right at the moment that he saw me, he gave me a one big hug.He literally squeezed me which made me groan in pain.My scars are not yet fully healed and they still hurts from time to time especially when they're being touched.When I groaned, he was so shock to the
LORNA'S POVCharles went off to go get a glass of water. I looked at Amelia and her face looks tired. She looks tired. She was so excited to go to the palace but ended up looking like this.What exactly happened? I'm going to beat that Prince when I saw him, I really will. I held her hand and was shocked to see a scar. It's not a big scar but it's still a scar. I accidentally held it which made Amelia groan. Does it hurt? I gently placed her hand to my hand and caressed it again. But in my shock, she slowly opened her eyes.Oh no, did I woke her up?Does the scar that painful for her to wake up just because I accidentally held it?I just remained silent and watched her. Her eyes roamed around the room and smiled afterwards.What is she thinking?Her eyes turned to mine and smiled wider."Lorna" she mouthed. Her voice is weak, I almost cannot hear it. "Amelia" I answered and hugged her. She groaned when I did that that's why I immediately clasp out from the hug and looked at h
