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 POVDays passed.Weeks passed.Months passed.Now, I'm finally okay. Or am I?"what flower should I give Lorna?" Charles asked.We're having breakfast.Flowers.I remembered that he used to give me flowers every single day with notes.I shook my head.No, I should forget. I should forget him. That's the goal, that's what I am doing."hey, are you really okay?" Charles asked. He had been asking that question for every single day."yeah" I faked a smile.I will be okay.I will, when the time is right."I wanted to surprise her. It's her birthday next week" Charles said.I remembered how he surprised me as well, with her confession, the cakes, the birthday decorations, the foods, her mom's gift.Amelia, pull yourself together. Forget about him. He's not even visiting you. "should I put love in the flower?" he asked again.Love?We used to call each other love.He used to call me love.And I used to call him love.We used to be in loved.We finished having breakfast with nothing
PHILIP'S POVAfter two months, I saw her.I saw my love again.From up here, I saw how sad her eyes are. I miss how those eyes smile because of me. I miss how those eyes sparkle with glee.Not with sadness.I just miss her so much.I sighed.And then I saw that it started pouring. The rain began and it's not just a light rain, it is a heavy rain.I saw how she panicked.I did too.I looked at her and she doesn't have an umbrella."Prince Philip" Sophie's nanny called.I looked at her and smiled, I have an idea.They're here in my room since Sophie is playing here."Miss" I called her as well.She seemed shock so I walked towards her and held her hand firmly.I peeked at Amelia by the window, scared that she will see me.As of now, she's already soaking wet and she's looking here at the castle. She's hugging a big painting and the rain seems like it's not gonna stop any sooner."Miss, can you see her?" I asked and pointed at Amelia.She nodded."can you give her an umbrella?" I asked.
AMELIA'S POVI stared at my bedroom ceiling.The Queen visited me earlier. She was crying and she told me everything, she told me about Philip— about Prince Philip I mean. She told me about Princess Dahlia again. She sincerely asked me to come and visit them. Of course I said that I can't since I don't have an excuse to.She asked me to let Prince Philip visit me. At that point, I was so stunned. I don't know what to say. Am I ready to meet him?Am I ready to talk to him?At the end, I did let him visit me. Well, the Queen visited me by herself, who am I to turn down her request.Charles said that he'll leave for the whole day for Prince Philip and I to have some more private space.I am grateful for him because of that. I cleaned the house, the cafe and the whole place. I also wore a simple blue dress. I didn't dolled up that much since we're just gonna talk.I baked cookies and prepared iced coffee for the both of us. It has been two months since we last saw each other.And
AMELIA'S POVI looked up at the castle and it's very pretty. It's much prettier than when I saw it from far away. It is also much more taller and wider from up close."wow" I mouthed as I look up.I heard how Miss Sarah let out a soft giggle."oh I'm sorry, I'm just so excited" I said truthfully."it's fine" she gave me a smile so I looked outside the window again and got amazed by the castle.The very pretty castle."I'll get off now, you'll get off later when the Queen arrive, okay?" she asked and without me even saying anything, she already left and closed the door.I fixed myself as I wait.Now it's not only excitement that I feel, I can also feel nervousness.I don't know but this time, nervousness is winning.As much as I want to appreciate the place, I can't because the nervousness keeps on occupying myself.I breathed in and breathed out so that I can calm myself.I also fixed myself a bit. Checked my hair, my dress and then at that exact moment, the door beside me opened."oh
AMELIA'S POVI acted like I didn't saw him and continued to look at the books. I smiled secretly, I missed him so much. As I continue to look at the books, I heard his footsteps coming towards my direction. But why is he not talking? Love, it's allowed to talk. Go, talk.I really want him to be the first one to initiate a conversation. As I look at the books which I haven't even seen even once in my life, I felt a warm embrace coming from my back. This familiar embrace. He buried his head towards my neck.This familiar position. I can feel my heart thump and I can feel his as well. "love" he called.What should I say? are we even still in a relationship? yeah, I think since we haven't even agreed to break up. I missed how he calls me love. I missed his voice, his embrace. I missed him. "please don't leave" his voice cracked and I felt a cold wet something in my neck. Is he crying?"please" he sobbed. My heart feels so heavy, I don't want to see him cry. I slowly turned aro
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
