"Here's the napkin." Gwen yelled rushing into the room. She handed the bowl of water and napkin to Madam Helen, panting heavily.

"Oh dear gods." Madam Helen muttered under her squeezing the water out of the cloth, massaging the affected area. "Come here, just keep cleaning the wound. Let me get the herbs ready." She said handing the napkin to Gwen.

After a few minutes later, they both stood over the bed watching Eleanor breath lightly, her chest heaving. Gwen used her palm to wipe the tears off her eyes as she stared at her best friend. She had returned from the kitchen only to find Eleanor lying unconsciously on the ground with blood surrounding her head.

"Do you think she'll be okay." Gwen asked in a small voice sniffing lightly.

"I don't know yet, child. I think we should inform the prince."

"Okay, okay. I'll go tell him now." Gwen said and hurried out of the room.

"But-" Madam heaved out a heavy sign staring at Eleanor with concern.

    "Luciano stop!" Nikolai yelled running to grab his arm, preventing him from attacking Sabrina. "Just stop it!" Luciano tried to move further but Nikolai grabbed him harder. "Just stop it!" Sabrina stood against the table, her eyes widened in shock and fear as she stared at the two brothers struggling hard against each other. One aiming to probably attack her and the other preventing him. "Just fucking leave her! She's not worth it!" Nikolai yelled pushing him backwards. "Of course she's worth it!" Luciano yelled in pure fury. "How dare she touch her?! Hey! How dare you?!" Sabrina smirked and chuckled humourlessly, she crossed her arms together, quirking a brow at Luciano. "So this whole thing is about that slave? You really wanted to hit me because of her?" She asked. "Actually, I want to." Luciano said through gritted teeth, rushing to her only to be stopped by Nikolai. "Ignore her Luciano, she's only trying to provoke you." "Hey you!" Nikolai called turning to stare at her.

    "Ow!" Eleanor winced loudly in pain as she sat on the bes as gently as she could. "Sorry, sorry." Gwen said, letting out a heavy breath. "Dear gods, that was not easy at all." "Sorry," Eleanor apologized, staring at her with concern. "Nah, it's okay. Ehh, I'll go get something for you to eat now." "Okay." Eleanor replied as Gwen stood up from the bed and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. "Hmmph." Eleanor let out a deep breath, staring at the window. It's really hard being this way, she can't move freely like she used to, for the fear that she might hurt her head. That princess is definitely a very wicked one. She never expected her to do this. The prince still doesn't love her so what's the point of this. Eleanor suddenly remembered when the prince came to her yesterday. It's a relief he doesn't hate her, she actually thought he'd be happy that she's dying. Her hand unconsciously went to her forehead where he planted a kiss yesterday, rubbing it softly.

    *Two weeks later* I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, leaning my head against his shoulder. We often come here, the both of us. It's our own quiet place. He took his hand to my hair, rubbing it softly. The feeling of his hand on my hair and soft caresses of the river breeze against my skin made me feel at ease. Him? You must be wondering who I'm talking about. Him. The prince. Luciano. Shocking right? Well, let's just say a lot has happened in the past two weeks. After I had taken my medication for a few days and was able to get back on my feet without help, I went to the Prince and confessed my feelings to him. It was one of the weirdest moments of my life. That would definitely be a moment I would never forget. *Flashback* *Two weeks ago* I took a heavy breath and open the door slowly, peeking into the hall to see the guards standing at the door of the prince room. I heaved out a heavy breath for the umpteenth time and walked out of the room slowly, shutting the do

    Sabrina smirked as she leaned away from the door and turned away to walk down the stairs. She heard the king and his brother's entire conversation.She was happy. Why?They're getting rid of that slave. That slave has always been in her way.Sabrina let out a small chuckle as she walked out of the castle. She smiled and placed her hands akimbo as the cool evening breeze caressed her face.Now, everything is going just great.**Axel sat on the throne seat, long after Elliot had gone. He had his hand to his jaw, reminiscing over what Elliot had just told him.It was a great idea. It was for the best. That's what he would do, then he would finally have his son back. He really misses the old Luciano, but first he has to do something."Zane."**Gwen and Eleanor laughed heartily as they walked hand in hand outside the palace grounds."Oh my god! That's hilarious!" Gwen laughed harder, clutching her stomach tightly. "I can't believe he'd sit and listen to you talk about that.""Hey come

    "Yes, it's Eleanor I love." The king stared at his son, his face void of emotion.He was supposed to be shocked but he wasn't. He knew this would happen. It was all the confirmation he needed. "Luciano??" The Queen called in shock. "You can't possibly be telling the truth, are you?" Luciano scoffed before speaking. "It's true mother, I love her. I'm done trying to hide it." "You can't love her!!" The Queen yelled, getting up from the throne seat with eyes widened in rage. "You can't! I did not train you this way! You can't!!" The king shook his head slowly, waving his hands dismissively. "Leave." He's heard enough and it's making him sick. Without a second thought, Luciano turned around and exited the throne room. *The next day* Eleanor heaved out a heavy sigh of relief as they walked out of the garden after tidying it up. For the past two weeks, she has developed a habit of helping Gwen in whatever work she has to do. Being close to the prince has helped relieve her of all he

    "Don't you think we should tell the prince about this?" Gwen suggested with a glint of hope in her eyes."The prince?""Yes of course! Prince Luciano.""But what would he do?" Eleanor asked in uncertainty."Come on." He might do something about it. He has been helping us for the past few weeks. He will surely help us now." Gwen insisted, holding her hands reassuringly."You think so?" Eleanor asked in uncertainty."I'm sure of this Eleanor, come on. Go!" Gwen urged. "Okay." Eleanor replied, nodding vigorously. She was right after all, he has been helping them a lot, he would do now. Even if it's just for a little while.*"Are you really gonna do it?" Ariel suddenly asked out of the blues, making the king knit his brows in confusion."Do what?" He asked, utterly confused."Are you really gonna kill her?" She asked, wiggling her brows at him."Why're you asking that?""Huh, I thought that was just a fake threat. You're not really gonna kill her, are you?" She must've thought it was a

    "Hey." Gwen looked up to see Nikolai standing beside her, his lips stretched into a small smile before sitting on the bench beside her."Hey." She replied in a small voice, taking her eyes back to her fingers."You okay?" His voice was laced in concern. It was easy to notice she wasn't fine."Hmm." She nodded without glancing at him.It's been two weeks and being honest it's one of the worst periods of her life. It wasn't stress filled and hectical. It was supposed to be another best weeks of her life, considering the fact they were fed and relieved of some of their duties, but it was quite the opposite.In fact, it was the worst. She had woken up every morning, filled with panic at the reminder that her best friend is in the most terrifying phase of life ever. And the prince wasn't helping this time.Though he was supposed to, and he had the power to, but instead he chose not to. She understands how hard it is to deny true love but life matters here. What if this isn't a fairytale. W

    A few seconds after his command, Eleanor felt strong manly hands hold her arm, roughly pulling her from the ground. She helplessly tried fighting against them, despite knowing it was obviously futile. They dragged her down to the dungeon and locked her up in a cell.Eleanor curled up on the floor, sobbing silently. Maybe she should have told him not to go with her, this wouldn't have happened. She doesn't need anyone to tell her if anything happens to him, they'd definitely kill her. And there would no one to save her. She wasn't scared for herself, she was scared of loosing the only person she loved dearly. The one who has been good to her and didn't treat her anymore like a slave.She endangered his life and the life of her people. She hates to think if anything happens to him, the king would make her people also suffer it. Worst of all he can choose to eliminate her. What the hell was she thinking all this while? That this would be a fairytale with no life threatening challenges. N

    *Eight years later*"Mother, I have it all ready!! Take a look!" I looked to the door to see Alex, my four years old son, trying to pull a big bag into my room."Alex seriously?" I chuckled and walked to him, collecting the bag from him. "This is way bigger than you, you should've left it for me." I patted his head, leaning down to plant a kiss on his hair."But I'm so powerful and strong!" He raised his hands up, clenching his fists tightly. "Father said so.""Yes, you're so strong but this is way bigger than you." I still replied nonetheless. "Where is your sister?" I asked, trying to stop him from starting an argument again."Erm, I..I think I left her in the room." He placed his hands under jaw, pretending to be thinking about something. "Alex." I folded my arms, raising my brows at him. "How many times do I have to tell you to watch over your sister?""Ermm, I don't know. How am I supposed to remember how many times but I can guess twenty seven, yes!" He raised his small fingers

    *STOCKEM*"Oh dear Sabrina." Sabrina looked up from the ground when her door opened and her sisters stepped in. She rolled her eyes, taking her gaze to the window."Oh my god, she looks so sad." Zara said with fake sympathy."Sabrina, you have no idea how much we missed you." Annika spoke, coming to stand before her bed. "Tell me, what was the wedding with the prince like? Was it how you dream?" She asked, faking an innocent smile. "Or where you were kicked out?""Just leave." Sabrina pointed her hand to the door, heaving out an exasperated sigh."Leave? But we just came here." Zara said, pouting her lips. "I'm not in for this, just leave!" She yelled unexpectedly."Ooh, I forgot you're a tigress." Annika said and burst out laughing, Zara joining her immediately. "Oh poor Sabrina, just see the look on your face. It must've been so hard. So hard realising your plan failed woefully, you failed." Zara scoffed before speaking. "You left here with so much pride, but look at you now? No w

    Eleanor was shocked to the bones, as this was the most unusual thing ever. Nevertheless, she wrapped her hands around her, accepting the hug. “I know I would definitely look like a coward, but I’m sorry.” Ariel said after disengaging from the hug.“Ermm… I..” They all turned to the door when they had noises, a loud voice yelling. “Let go of me!! You bitch!” Gwen could be seen; effortlessly dragging Sabrina into the room then throwing her to the floor.”She stopped yelling and looked around the room, seeing all eyes on her. “Luciano, no, no.” Eleanor rushed to him, holding him back when he rushed to Sabrina, with rage in his eyes. “Let her be.” Thankfully, he stopped struggling against her, he looked around the room last time before storming out.“Nikolai?” Ariel called, finally noticing him at the corner of the room. He raised his hand, motioning her to stop as she walked towards him. Then with the help of a guard, he left the room, Gwen also rushing to follow him.“Where are you now?

    “What idea?” Eleanor asked curiously, moving closer to her.“Well..” She scratched her head nervously before speaking. “Well, you can speak to our king, maybe he might give out some soldiers to you.” Nikolai and Luciano stared at each other as if deliberating if that was a good plan. “He might refuse you know? Not everyone wants a problem with Cordenia.” Luciano spoke, knowing well that most of the kingdoms avoided troubles with them, ever since what they did to Narva. Now Daekhram is one small village with very little number of people, that would definitely be the last thing they’ll want to do.“You can try and see what he says.” Eleanor said, trying to encourage. “Sure. Let’s see what happens then.” *“How'd it go?” They all stood up when the door opened and both brothers stepped in. “How did it go?” Eleanor held so much hope in her eyes as she asked.“Well, nothing. He refused.” She breathed out a small sigh, feeling quite hopeless again. “So what do we do now?” She wrapped he

    “Surprised?” Sabrina burst out laughing out loud hysterically. “Oh my god, I never imagined how the look on your face would be, but trust it definitely worth it, and I'll do this over and over again just to see this look again.” Ariel shook her head in disbelief as she burst out laughing again.“Elliot, what is this?” He never thought he could ever do something like this. Hell! They were brothers and this is definitely the most shocking thing that has ever happened to him.“It is what it is Axel.” Elliot answered with an evil smirk on his face. “Oh, I forgot you might be so dumb to realise all that is going, so I’m going to spare a littlle of my time and do the explanation.”He nodded at one of the attackers, or rather his secret soldiers and he left immediately, returning with two chairs which Elliot and Sabrina sat on respectively. “Okay, here we go. Storytime.” Elliot rubbed his palm together, faking enthusiasm. “First of all Axel, I’d love to say you have been so stupid and really

    She hummed to an unending song as she moved around the room. Surprisingly, she woke up on the right side of the bed. With no idea of what made her so calm and relieved she began her little duties she had to do. In a few minutes she knew Nalia would be here to take her to the woman she talked about.A few minutes later, just when she was done with all the work, Nalia arrived. "You ready?""Yeah, sure." Eleanor replied, rubbing her palm on her skirt.“You look quite happy.” Nalia commented, with brows raised in surprise. “I mean you’ve been quite the opposite these days. Sorry to say though.”“It’s fine. Honestly I have no idea why I am, but there’s no need to be worried. It’s not a bad thing huh.” As far as she knows, being mysteriously happy should be a sign that good things might happen.“Okay let’s go.” Nalia says, shrugging her shoulders. “It’s quite a long work to Kyla’s place, so we better hurry.”“Bye sophia!” Eleanor yelled, hoping she hears her from her room.“Bye Ladies, be c

    Gwen woke up earlier than normal the next morning and did all important chores right before it was time for breakfast. She had a plan in mind and hopefully it works out well.After dropping a few things in the store room, she headed down the stairs, with one place in mind. The kitchen. She usually avoids going there everyday, but today she knew her entire plan depends on it."Sorry, oh- hey." She bumped into someone, immediately realising it's Nikolai. They don't see each other often again, since she has a lot of duties and work now, considering the fact Luciano isn't helping again but locked up in his room, they were given loads of work.She remembers their conversation yesterday, a quite heated one though. Her first plan was to try to make Nikolai tell Luciano the truth, she knew for sure Luciano would listen to him but he refused, bluntly. Giving an excuse it was for the sake of Eleanor's safety. Gwen knows well it wouldn't affect her, she hates to see him this way, considering the

    *The next day*Luciano had woken up a few hours ago and after taking his bath, he sat on his bed, resting back against the headboard, staring into space.He was sad, and hurt. Also angry at himself.Angry at himself for not fulfilling all the promises he made to her. He brought into this mess, assured her that he would protect her, but what did he do? Absolutely nothing.Instead he got her killed. He can’t count how many times she had tried to play safe, even tried to bury the feelings she had for him. It seemed like she was the one with bigger brains here, trying as much as possible not to get into any trouble while he? He kept dragging into it over and over again. Making stupid promises to keep her safe, forcing her into a dangerous relationship when he knew well it wasn’t good for her. She trusted him, believing everything would be fine just like he said. She was positive and had no doubt, putting all hopes on a stupid person like him. Even when it got worse and all he had to do wa

    Ariel couldn’t understand the shivers that ran down her spine immediately he said those words. She knows very well he doesn’t joke with words, just like his father. Regret suddenly filled her but disappeared immediately it came. “Don’t say that, Luciano.”Luciano scoffed and ran his palm over his face. He looked like he was struggling hard to refrain himself from flaring in anger. His fists repeatedly clench together, his breaths already coming out in pants. “Leave.” He growled warningly.“There is no point getting angry Luciano, we did this for you, for your safe-““Don’t you dare say that!!!” Axel stopped talking when Luciano suddenly yelled. “When has Eleanor ever been a threat?! Just tell me! WHEN?!” For the first time in so many years Ariel saw his eyes water. She must say she’s never seen him so hurt, her heart clenched in guilt when a drop of tears slipped from his eyes. “Do you know what you are now?” He was the only one speaking now because it seemed she had nothing to say.
