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 POVWe have gone passed the river of people while holding each others waist. Well, it's our first time doing it and I don't see anything bad about it. Just because he confessed his feelings to me doesn't mean that we can't do these things anymore. We're still friends and we will forever be. I held Philip's hands and pulled him towards the ice cream shop. When we arrived, the owner seems to be shock."hi!" I energetically waved my hand as I greet him."hello, beautiful" he greeted back. Well, he told me beautiful with a big bright smile on his face. It feels so nice though."hello, uhm what should I get" I said and started looking at the ice cream flavors. I know what Philip's favorite ice cream flavor, it's Pistachio. I always prefer Strawberry but I want to taste new flavors for today.Should I get Raspberry? Chocolate? vanilla tastes good too."you're with the Prince, Miss Beautiful" the owner said so I quickly turned my eyes on him with a confused face."prince?" I ask
PHILIP'S POVI couldn't stop smiling, Lia is jealous. "hey, stop already" she pointed out. We're out here in the park, eating the ice cream which she bought. "you're jealous?" I asked once again. She actually said that she was jealous earlier and that she was mad at me since I left her there. I don't want to leave her but then the owner really recognized me. He even told Lia about it which is why I hide and when I was hiding, I saw Haven. She was my classmate back then and she said that she was waiting for her future husband. That's why I accompanied her to a less silent place which is in the intersection. I really wanted to go back to Lia that time but she's already done buying ice creams. I knew I saw her that time because how can I not recognize my girl, right?I said my good bye to Haven and quickly chased her but she was ignoring me. And that's it."yes, I am jealous. Why?" she already raised her voice towards me which made me smile more. I pinched her cheeks which made
AMELIA'S POVI placed the ice cream in my little refrigerator. After that, I decided to go on my morning routine. And as usual, I've put the flowers on a jar and placed it where I always out the flowers that he gave.I wore a simple outfit which I always wear. I was drying my hair when I felt my tummy growl. I'm hungry, I remembered that I didn't ate anything last night. I am craving for waffles for today and remembered that I still am saving for me to be able to buy the waffle maker. And then an idea popped into my mind. I saw a waffle house near the palace. I'll just buy something there. When I am about to open the door, Philip opened the door as well and blocked me with his chest."oh, oh, why what's wrong. Where is the great Lia going" he said and still blocked me. I giggled. "buying breakfast" I showed him my wallet. "I already have it" he showed me a paper bag. He made me go back and pulled me towards my seat."what is that?" I asked. "breakfast" he simply answered."what
AMELIA'S POV"which one is cuter though?" I asked myself as I look at the cups displayed.It has already been days since Philip visited my house and after that visitation, I considered his question. About the business, I really should start pursuing it now.There's a plain matte brown cup and also a plain white cup. And here I am not knowing what to choose. At the end, I bought 8 each. 8 brown cups and 8 white cups. After that I go straight home as I am too busy today. These days, I've been so busy preparing for the opening. The opening is still quite far but I want to finish it quickly. I also have deliveries for today. Cute chairs!As my house still have a little space, I decided to just pursue my business here. I moved my living room and placed it on where I paint. Philip doesn't know about these changes yet and I want to finish everything up before he visits me. We're business partners after all, I don't want him to think that the money he handed me will come to a waste. Th
PHILIP'S POVWe're now done baking cake. I am amazed that I'd actually make one. For real, I don't actually know how to bake a cake. But I've asked Miss Sarah for it. She said that she doesn't know to make one as well and she referred me to our baker. I didn't knew we had a baker not until now. Miss Flor, the palace baker, helped me patiently about baking. She taught me about the basics. At first she was hesitant to teach me, saying that a Prince shouldn't bake in the first place. But Miss Sarah talked to her and at the end, he helped me to make one. It's always a fail. And each day, I learn something new. She had been so patient with me. "No, Prince. Not like that" she said as she helped me with the frosting. This part is kinda messy, and very sticky.Even though I did so many mistakes, her voice is still calm. Doesn't she know how to be mad?I'm getting furious since she's not getting mad at me. I want her to get mad since I know for sure that I've been making so many mist
AMELIA'S POVAfter that water fight for Philip, of course we need to clean up. He insisted to do it all but of course I didn't let him. It's my house after all and he's my visitor who always visit my house. Well, I don't complain though. "Amelia, stop. I'll do it" he said while doing the dishes and looking at me who's already preparing the mop. "Philip, stop. I'll do it" I copied what he said as a joke.He then gave me a mad face. I just stuck my tongue and showed it to him as a silly way of teasing him. "stop, okay? I'll do that as well. Just relax" he said while looking at me wetting the mop with the water. "no" I answered firmly and started mopping the floor. I also gave him slippers since it would be watery. He doesn't wanna take it at first but I insisted, I gently pushed his feet upwards and put it in the slippers. See? I can even make him wear slippers. "okay, okay. I'll wear it" he said and wore the other one all by himself. I stood up and proceed. "I'll wear these bu
AMELIA'S POVI saw how Tina's face changed. I don't know why but I don't feel comfortable towards her. It feels like she has something which I don't like and it's not good. "ooohhhh" Gione teased. When I looked at her, she giggled."you suits each other" Lorna commented. Philip on the other hand continued putting the drinks on the table. I helped him with it and noticed that I also have a cup.He made me one as well?I gently put back the cup on the tray but he put it back on my front."it's yours" he whispered."butterflies" Rose squinted. When we looked at him, she's looking at us — me and Philip.How long has she been looking at us? "guys, that's so sweet of him" he giggled. I just watched her. Philip on the other hand just stood there as well."what? what? I didn't noticed" Gione asked as if she's so excited. "The guy was putting the cups on front of each other and when he put one infront of Amelia, Amelia put it back on the tray but he put it back on the table and whispered
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

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
