PHILIP'S POV"she's pretty right?" I asked Mom the moment I got home and saw her."yeah, super pretty" she excitedly answered. We're at the garden and Sophie's sleeping probably because she's tired."so, when do you plan telling her about you belonging in a royal family?" she asked.I sighed. "I clearly don't know" I answered which is true.I love her so much that I don't want her to be disappointed at me.I love her so much to the point that I don't want her to know that I belong in a royal family since she might feel like she's not deserving again.She deserves everything, I don't know why she thinks and looks very lowly at herself."you want me to tell her?" she asked which had made me very taken aback."Mom, I'll do tell her all by myself. I just need to time" I answered.And then after some chitchats, I left since I got home only to borrow the car again from Miss Sarah since I will drive Amelia to the market today."please?" I pouted at Miss Sarah. She won't allow me to borrow i
AMELIA'S POV"is it yummy?" he asked.I nodded."Pistachio is much more yummier though" I said as I glue my eyes on his ice cream.The phase of me going through all the ice cream flavor continues.I got the Taro flavored one today.We go to the nearest park and chose not to go home yet. We want to watch the sunset."why did you ordered that?" he asked but my eyes are glued on his ice cream. He chose Pistachio."because I want to explore different ice cream flavors" I answered.He looked at me and I turned my gaze towards him.He asked me if I want it, I quickly nodded so after a minute, we exchanged ice creams.I am so happy to get the Pistachio ice cream.And then he flicked my forehead."you liar, it doesn't taste good" he said.I just stuck my tongue out to tease him."you can't get this back now. You already decided to exchange" I laughed. He got scammed."love" he called."yes love?" I asked and turned my gaze at him."I love you" he said and then once again, he kissed my forehea
AMELIA'S POVThat day wasn't easy as well but quite fulfilling."good job today again, my little Gione" I said after a long tiring day. She must be tired today again.I handed gave her the payment for her duty. She's so happy of being a part timer so I even got her a name tag which she finds so cute. I don't know why."I'll wear this again tomorrow, I'll come early" she said and pointed at her name tag which is pinned on the left side of her apron. She wants to wear an apron as well and even suggested that we should all wear the same aprons with the name of my coffee shop embroidered. It's a good suggestion as well but I still have no funds for it."should we walk you home?" I asked Gione. She nodded."Pop is not going to fetch me today, he said that he have something to do" she reasoned out. I just nodded even though I don't know who Pop is. It must be the person who fetched her the last time.We did walked her and as usual, I'm in the middle of the two of them since they'll just e
AMELIA'S POV"do you want to sleep here tonight?" I asked Charles. He told me that he's sleeping at a friend right now.I'm an older sister so I should be the one who helps him."you can sleep here, right here" I gestured my hand towards the whole room.There's only one bedroom here and that's my room. Knowing him, he don't want to sleep next to me, as if we ever did that once."should I?" he asked. I nodded."yeah, live comfortably here" I answered. He left home just like me, I know how he felt. How he feels lost and lonely. But the thing is, I have a place to stay to wherein he doesn't own one. "I'll go get my things and come back here" he replied."right, treat Lorna right huh. She's a good girl" I told him."you don't need to tell me that. I'll surely do" he answered and left the room. I stayed at the room and waited for Philip, he'll probably enter.I waited for him.And he did came."good chat?" he asked and sat down beside me. "there's a seat infront" I teased him.Knowing
LORNA'S POVReview. Review. Review.Now that I'm in good terms with Charles, I can definitely focus.I looked at the lamp shade on top of my study table and chuckled.Gione gave it to me as a gift since she said that she had been working hard. She gave Rose bunch of bookmarks while she gave Tina make ups.Then why did I get lampshade? I asked her that and she said that she bought it for me so that I would study.This girl really.I took an hour break since I've been studying for five hours straight and when I looked outside, it's already morning. I don't have sleep yet. I looked at my clock and it's already six in the morning. I think I should sleep now. I took a nap since my body is too tired to even process what I was studying.°•I woke up at 2 in the afternoon and when I go outside my room, the girls are busy studying. I asked them if they had lunch yet and they also said yes.I'm too lazy to cook now and I need to go back studying again but I'm also very hungry.That's why I
AMELIA'S POV"do you want to go visit Dad?" I asked Charles. He looked at me as if what I just said is so impossible and therefore not real.We're having breakfast. I decided to close the store for today as well since I want to visit Dad.I told Philip not to visit me and I also told Gione to rest for today."he's alive?" he asked. I hit him with my hand."of course he is" I answered. How dare him think our Dad already passed away."come to think of if, I haven't even heard anything from him before. And he's alive?" he asked."yeah he is. So be grateful since we still have a father" I told him. Knowing Dad and Charles, they never go along well.They always fight, a Son and Dad fight. So they are not im good terms especially when Dad left us."do you hate Dad that much?" I asked."yeah, I guess so. To the point that I don't want to see him" he answered truthfully.I still can't understand Dad as well. Why he left us and looked for another girl.But then, it's all in the past now. I'
AMELIA'S POVYes, I already knew that he's a prince. I just knew from the past weeks. It hasn't been so long.How did I knew?The day when his Mom visited my place.[Flashback]As I watch the car leave, I can't stop thinking about her Mom. She looks like the Queen. She looks like Queen Elina.I looked at Philip and now come to think about it, he looks like the Prince as well.Philip helped me to clean up and after that, he left to go pick up his car.When he left, I watched in which direction is he going. He did go to a direction which is going to the palace.Come to think of it, I saw him at the palace before.I quickly go to the nearest bookstore and looked for a royal book. A book where everything about the royal family is written.I flipped the pages of the book and looked at the family tree.I fell the book when I saw it.I am trembling, I am shaking. Is it true?Am I dreaming?I remained silent and looked at the book which is now upside down.I am afraid to put open it once ag
PHILIP'S POVShe already knew."please, Amelia" I begged. She stood up and left me. I ran to catch her and tried to talk to her."Amelia please" I begged. I saw sadness in her eyes and I know that she's tired from all the cry.I sighed."Amelia, let's talk this out" I said once again. She wanted to break up and that's the last thing that I want to do.I don't want to leave her. I don't want us to fall apart.As much as I wanted, I wanted to get closer to her and be with her."no, if you wanted to tell, you could've told me sooner" she answered. Her voice cracked and it made my heart feels so hurt.I don't want seeing her cry, it breaks my heart. It also breaks my heart knowing that she's crying because of me.Why did I let this happen?Why did I hurt her?Why?I pulled her to a hug. I hugger her from behind as tears fall down in my eyes.I don't want us to break up."Amelia, hear me out please" I asked. She forced me to go away as she aggressively removed herself from my hug but I
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

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
