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

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.

QUEEN ELINA'S POV"stop crying, Mom" Sophie tried to calm me down. I just cried and cried over and over again.Seeing Philip lay down there with a very high fever and with the palace doctors surrounding him makes my heart feel at ache. Earlier today, the palace guards have seen Philip walking so weakly on one of the streets near here. They said that while he's walking, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell on the floor. I was so shocked when I saw Philip being carried by them and the palace doctors following behind.But then, his mother was more shocked than I am."what happened?" I asked the doctor after they looked on Philip. The Doctor said that Philip has a very high fever and nothing more. He passed out because of low blood and from tiredness and stress. I cried even more after hearing that. How can he be stressed? where did all his stress and tiredness came from?I gaze at his mother and she's still crying like me. I told her about what the Doctor said and she cried eve
PHILIP'S POVWhen I came to Amelia's place last time, I admit that I was not feeling well. But I just wanna see her so bad that's why I just ignored what I was feeling. But then as the day pass, I felt that I'm really not feeling well and it became worst.

I'm watching comedy and it's the funny part so I didn't stopped myself from laughing and laughed my lungs out. "you, useless kid!" Mom shouted again and pulled my hair which made me stand up. I don't know why she's so mad again. Did she lost again? she had been gambling so much.Last time she went to Amelia and begged for her to come back so she can ask her for money but Amelia did not agree. I heard Mom slapped her.

Well, he said that if I don't do this, he'll cut my allowance.So bad. But then, as days go by, I kinda got used to it. "Hello, Ma'am Lorna!" One of Dad's staff greeted me. They're already harvesting some grapes. Is it grapes season?Yeah, it's already late summer. It's about to get cold soon. "good morning, Ma'am Lorna. Grapes for breakfast?" the other staff asked.

"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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

"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.

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 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
