My routines are quite the same: soaking myself in rose water, washing my face with milk, coconut fragrance, honey and strawberry extract for my hair shampoo, and almond oil for the final touch. However, the gowns these days are extravagant, too shiny, and flashy. I sometimes can't complain, I wasn't living like this before, I only get to experience this, thanks to Kyler and Victoria. Thinking about it, I haven't even met the royal designer before, I wanted what she looked like. She must be so good, but she's doing a little too much."Ayn?" I call, and she tilts her neck so I can see her reflection in the mirror as I FIVE YEARS LATER,"Aarhh" the woman lying on the bed screamed as she pushed. "I can't do this anymore, I'm tired I don't think I can make it" she said weakly.Isabelle who stood by the side of the room with a bowl of water in her hand, froze."We are almost there Your Grace, you can't give up now not when the baby is almost out." Galatea, the midwife and her assistant s
"Nothing happened!" I yell, but Kyler seems to have his theory. I really don't want to argue."Right, Isabelle! Your ex-lover in your chambers hugging you!" He frowns, "Why were you crying? Did he hurt you?" I sigh heavily, rolling my eyes. "For the thousandth time! No! Are you going to believe me?" He stops, staring around. Leon had been dragged out after I managed to stop Kyler. Now, I feel bad for him, and I really hope he is okay. His face looked severely hurt. It wasn't a fair fight, seeing Kyler was King and he was just a competitor."I need some time alone," I say, turning around and heading to my bedroom."Isabelle," he calls, and I turn over."You don't trust me, do you?" I ask."What!" He exclaims, holding his hands on his waist and staring at me."You think I still love him, do you? Did you really think I'd cheat on you? I feel ashamed, and I want you to leave," "Ashamed? Isabelle, don't give me that—" "Get out now!" I yell, and he takes two steps backwards, his eyes lo
Am I mad at her for getting mad at me? No. I saw Leonard, and I immediately thought he hurt her. Damnit, she was crying in his arms, and I lost it."Sire, the dungeon is ready," Rowan says. I pause and look at him, sighing quietly. I can't imagine he brought up torturing the last assassin. We have been through this. He doesn't even look like he wants to speak, and I just sit in the dark corner watching. Kesem and Rowan are really fans of me joining the party. Honestly, I don't want to hear what he has to say. It's not like we don't know who is responsible for it, Victoria, who is being sly right now, and her long-time partner King Damson, but really why don't they just get married, I know Damson is married but they scheme a lot, they could conquer the world but not Yodora, but they seem too foolish to me. Sometimes, I wonder how they get into people's head, like Lee— speaking of Lee, I haven't visited him since I locked him up. "Lee?" I ask, "Just like has you ordered, he eats, an
"Are you okay?" A familiar voice asks. I stop groaning and gently take my hands off my head, "I had them prepare you honey water for your headache," Kyler says."What?" I whisper, staring at him. He looks guilty but also confused. "I just found out about the dinner," he says, and I look at him, gently trying to sit up. Gosh, my headaches are so bad. "Here, have the water. It would help with the headache," he hands me a teacup of the honey water. It's not my business why honey water is given to me in a teacup. I just want to yell at him, but this fucked headache won't let me. However, I take it, drinking quickly. "I'd send for breakfast," he brushes strands of my hair so I could drink better. How can I even stay mad at him? I watch him head towards the door, and once he disappears, I can't hear what he is saying.He comes back in, heading towards me, "There would be here soon," Kyler says.Honestly, I can't understand him sometimes. He literally ditched me last night because of that
THREE YEARS LATER.It's a sunny day, and I can hear whispering, gossips and noise coming from the hallway. Three years in Yodora seems to have changed me because I got used to the tradition, the rites, the festival periods, and laws. Kyler had done a lot to change Yodora. He grew chains of hotels, increased the food sectors, and estates. It's a lot, but one of the most popular was the project for the first motor company. He's been a talkative these days, and that's how I get to learn a lot. I also, I'm meeting with the Queen of Aldora tomorrow. I have held countless balls, attended countless balls and parties, hunting, and tournaments, Kyler seems to hold every year. it's getting bigger and better since the last one three years ago.Back to Queen Charm, goodness. I'm nervous, I have to plan a one week entertainment for her, Ayn said I focus on planning tea week, but tea week? A whole week of just drinking tea and talking about men? Queen Charm has a daughter who is first in line to
I WALKED INTO THE HALL I HAD PREPARED to welcome Queen Charm and her daughter Princess Kaylani. I was nervous, but I had Lady Sophie and Lady Lousia with me. I had my maids and guards who would help with their things and escort them to their chambers.I was lending Kia and Betty to my guest. I stood by the entrance, it wad then I remembered Kyler wad supposed to be here because Queen Charm was also coming around with her older brother— Lord Diego. I heard he was unmarried and handsome, too. My ladies seemed to say a lot about him, I hope it's true."My goodness, you're gorgeous in person, I have seen your artwork, and—" I pause and look around. Thankfully, no one saw me, Kyler did, since he is sitting beside me and Queen Charm. Princess Kaylani unfortunately declined dinner."Tell me, I have heard so much about the great Yodora, great king, King Kyler who conquered Lakes," Queen Charm says.Everything about her is elegant, the way she holds herself, the way she speaks, eats, walks, an
"Ou, Isabelle, we are outside," he mutters, still looking pleased, and holding my waist tightly like I was going to escape soon."Does it matter?" I can feel my heart pounding loudly, and I hope he isn't feeling it as my chest is pressed against his body.Kyler relaxes, loosening his tightened grip, and his face is reddened with bright smiles. "What if a guard sees us? We have guests. Are you craving me that much?" He asks with a smirk.Of course I do miss him— I mean, crave him, but right now that's not it, I hope Princess Kaylani hears us and his or takes cover with her lover because Kyler seeing those two would not really end well, that's what I think for now, he is way to honest these days. "Of course," a small laugh escapes my throat, "I do miss you— crave you, so kiss me," Damnit, I should he careful what I keep saying, I didn't mean to say that, maybe I did.There's a moment of silence between us, and he's staring. His devious smile has disappeared, now looking worried. "That d
A few hours later, and this book is outrageous, sex, sex, female, that's all I see here. The door opens, and there he is, the owner of this book. Now, I see why he has been invested for days."Why are you looking at me that way," he says, and I smile quickly, pushing the book by my side. Kyler's gaze follows my hand movement, and he continues staring until he looks me in the eyes. "What was that? Got a surprise for me, Mama?" I giggle, "Mama?" I slip out of my blankets, sitting at the edge of the bed. "Royals don't do that,""Yeah, you heard me, I'll call you the heck I want, Queen or royalty," he says, unbuttoning his shirt. I quickly get up, walking towards him. Kyler is quite impressive these days."Let me," I say, offering to help unbutton. He doesn't hesitate. Instead, he pulls me by my waist, smiling and caressing my back, staring at me. His gaze is a little intense. Intimidating, and his hands, gently rubbing down to my ass.It's sending goosebumps down my spine, my eyes are d
