AMELIA'S POV"is it worth the price though?" i asked myself as I look at the price of the scented candle.After I did a lot of thinking, I decided not to buy the scented candle. I just bought the normal white candle which costs a lot cheaper.I bought bunch of them as I will be needing them for a long time.I paid and go out. I never really thought that I would buy a candle.The shop was just near my near my new home — my art shop. So I just walked for about 5 minutes.I flipped the "CLOSED" sign into the "OPEN" sign which is just hanging in my door. Even though I don't have customers, I am happy with what I am doing. I opened the window since it's hot. Well, I don't have electricity. They have cut it since I couldn't pay the bill. I don't have the money to pay for it. I looked at the time and it's 3pm. I looked around my shop which is also my home now, no hint of customers. I just took out the bread which I bought earlier and eat it. I don't have money anymore, I need a lot mor
AMELIA'S POV"you did a good job, Amelia. There's nothing wrong with you" I told myself as I continue to walk with a heavy heart.I clearly told myself that I am not a loser but here I am, keeps on crying over spilled milk. I couldn't get a job, and I feel so bad. My whole day is pretty tiring and as I walk back home, I can feel my heart feels heavier.Things are not going on how I plans them to be. I looked at the sky and there are a lot of stars. Funny because the stars begin to get blurry and that's when I realize, I'm starting to cry. I looked down and stared at my shoes which are already worn out as it is already old. And then I saw a man sitting right outside my store. He's wearing a very thick coat and a boots, I know for sure that he's not from our street. He smells expensive, he looks so rich. As in rich, rich.He's sleeping and I saw how handsome he is. He has this face that can be admired by many people.I was about to unlock the door but he's on the way. I also can't
AMELIA'S POV"so, you don't have electricity?" I heared Philip asked. Yes, his name is Philip. I looked back and I saw him playing with the candle on top of the table. I finished making the coffee since it looks like he's about to play with a lot more things from here after playing with the candle.Is this his first time seeing a small shop? it looks like he's very amazed by it. He even said wow the moment I let him enter my shop. "yes and please don't play with that, it's the last candle that I have" I said and put the cup in front of him."then how are you going to live? you don't have electricity plus you don't have a work" he asked. He looks very innocent."I am living right now. And thanks to you, I'll have an income since you'll be buying my painting" I answered and took a sip from my coffee, he did the same.I am too nervous as it's my first time making a coffee for someone. My mom and my brother never let me do it, they'd rather buy some coffee outside. Clearly, I don't know
PHILIP'S POV"where have you been going to all this time?" Miss Sarah asked the moment I stepped inside my room."outside, I just bought some painting" I answered casually. She doesn't know anything about Amelia but I am planning to tell her. "painting? you already bought a lot" she answered. She looks so frustrated.I opened the empty room which is supposed to be the room where I paint but then I lost my interest on it years ago already. I placed the painting beside many paintings which I bought from Amelia.It is not true that my cousin bought it. It was me all along. I told her that I will help her from her financial problems but she don't want to. She won't accept the money. She said that she will do it, she said that she will earn the money and support herself. I was so frustrated that's why I decided to just buy her paintings and I know that she won't accept it if she knew that it's just my way on helping her. That's why I don't want her to paint hard things, I just kept on
AMELIA'S POVI spent the whole day staying under the shade of the tree. This is where I find my peace in the midst of the chaos.Instead of dealing with those problems, I'd like to just run away from them. It's not that it's something that I would like to do, it's just that I don't feel like I have the energy to face them since everything feels so tiring to me. I tapped my face over and over again. "should I go back now?" I asked myself."yes" someone answered.In my shock, I looked back without even thinking anything. And in my surprise, I saw Philip. He's holding some paper bag and he looks so tired.I looked at him and he looks so exhausted. He's covered with sweat but still, he have that smile on his face which constantly makes me smile too. "you're here" I said."because you're here" he answered. He sat down beside me."why did you ran away?" he asked while wiping away his sweat."am I obliged to answer that?" I asked."no," he answered and looked at me ,"I know in my heart th
AMELIA'S POV"then did she begged you to come home?" Philip asked. We're now going back and it's a long walk indeed plus it's already dark. I'm so tired."I clearly don't know" I answered as I am too tired to speak. Tired from a the crying. "Can you walk? I feel like you can't" Philip said and as I look back on him, he looks so tired as well. "both of us can't walk" I chuckled. He didn't even laughed nor smile. I look at him and just hit him lightly ,"don't worry about me, I can manage""I doubt that, Miss" he responded and walked infront of me and offered me his back ,"I'll give you a piggy bank ride"I am so surprised. I know for sure that he's tired as well. First from looking for me and me making him as a pillow as I sleep.Instead of hopping on his back, I just walked passed through him."let's just go" I sais but in my surprise, he pulled my hand and pulled me closer to him as we both walked. I looked at my hand and he's holding it very lightly. "don't disappear again" he mu

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

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
