Chapter 12.Subtitle: jump on him.It's being more than a week on the journey and Alice was already informed that they were now in the mainlands of Aceland as Gagé said.She was tired of sitting and sleeping in a carriage, she had managed to heal during the journey and was able to walk on her own again, but she still felt a little pain in her waist and hips, she would have being much better if she was not in a carriage all day.She stared at lara who was fast asleep, thankfully the chairs in the carriage looked like beds and one can manage to sleep on them.Gagé who only slept once in a while was still sitting up.Alice looked at him, thinking of striking up a conversation with him but didn't find anything good to talk about, she and him only talk a few times during the entire journey since he was cold and not friendly at all, luckily Alice had Lara to chat with and Gagé didn't mind at all although their noisy talks always seem to disturb him."Umm...

Where have you being for a month, father said you went to Mariposa for some business, thank goodness your back I miss you so much!"The lady yelled happily making sure everyone present could see and hear her.Alice was no exception and she was going bonkers with anger, she didn't know when the intense jealousy started but she was not okay with some woman hugging her husband to be like her life depends on it, she was angry."Lilian I am very fine as you can see, you didn't have to jump on me to welcome me. You may go back to what you were doing I have to take care of something first."Gagé said to the lady who's smile vanished at once.She turned to look at the heavily covered Alice as if she was just seeing her."Who is she?"She asked Gagé who turned

You've messed a lot of things up."The king complained."Would you have let me go if I had informed you first? I know what you are up to emperor, I won't let you control my life."Gagé replied."Yes....sure sure!"The king sighed."You have no idea how messy it's about to get do you? I had promised Lilian's mother just before she passed away that I will grant her daughter the position of future empress, now you want to make me go back on my words? I'll let you marry the young lady you brought on one condition."The king added."As if I'll follow your condition.. i'm a man of my own I don't need your approval."Gagé snorted."You'll marry Lilian first and make her queen, after that you can marry whosoever you want

Who offended you?"Bernice rolled her eyes and said."Gagé just returned and when I went out to greet him he shunned me and carried a strange lady in his arms! Mother do you also think i'm loosing Gagé?"Lilian cried harder as she disengaged from the hug."You and father promised to take care of me and you already engage me to Gagé, if he breaks it off with me then i'm going to die from heart break and shame, poeple will call me names and will taunt me, I rather
Chapter 16.Subtitle: the introduction.It was nearly noon and Alice was just through with eating her lunch when one of her assigned maids walked in and told her the prince was waiting for her outside.She told the maid to ask him to give her a minute to get dressed which the maid did as she was told.Gagé hasn't came to visit her again since they arrived last night and she was getting sad for no reason when he sent words to her this morning that he will be coming to get her at noon to go say hello to his father.She felt very nervous that she would be meeting the emperor for the first time but also felt happy that she will be seeing him again after a day.She quickly finished up her dressing by putting on her cape and made sure to hide her hair behind it very well, she rounded it up with the mask which she used to cover from her nose downwards.Accompanied by one of her new maids she walked out of the room and came face to face with Gagé who was standing at the door.A faint smile fl

Is this her hair colour or is this some sort of colouring?"The emperor asked his son."this is indeed her natural hair father."Gagé replied and the kings eyes widened.He seemed to have realised something."My dear do you mind waiting outside the room for a bit, I shall call you back after I talk to my son in private."The emperor ordered and Alice bowed before leaving, she was confused a bit."You brat why didn't you tell me of this? How did you find her without anyone showing you where to find her?"The king snapped, he seemed very relieved and happy with Gagé's new finding."What do you mean father? I found myself a bride, I thought you were againts it and mad?"Gagé asked."Mad?

Chapter 18.Subtitle: hate to talk about it."I would not be rude to you lady. But I don't see why any of this concerns me, you were engaged to Gagé? Well that wasn't how i was told situations were.According to what I was told he never liked you and just kept quiet because his father forced him to engage you, but now the emperor approves of me as his bride and has agreed to let us get married, I won't lie that I feel guilty for 'stealing' your fiancee but I also feel relieved that it's not the case here, he does not love you and never asked to marry you, you just went along with what his father said so how does that make you his fiancee when he himself hasn't agreed to marry you.You shouldn't blame me for this instead go reflect on yourself, and you saying i'm better than you won't make me feel bad, every girl is beautiful in her own way and the moment you learn to love yourself then others will learn to love you too.I am very sorry for what happened but I can't do anything to help
