The Crownless Royal CHAPTER TEN
“The scheduled tour in our country will push through until the end of the week. But that’s it.” Her father continued.All the people at the table looked confused as they stared at each other.“May I ask what’s the reason for the postponement, His Majesty?” Prince Henrik asked seriously.“The Palace of Norway contacted us.” Everyone looked at Princes Flint and Jet, who just continued eating. It looked like they already knew about this. “They wanted the princes to be present during the choosing of the bride for Prince Flint, which will be happening next month.”Murmurs filled the table. Hannah can’t help but glance at the mentioned prince. He was still continuing to eat as if they were not talking about him. She can’t read his expression. When Hannah looked around, her gaze was drawn to Catalina, who was hurling daggers at her, prompting Hannah to roll her eyes and return to her meal.“What’s the rush though? It's not like Flint is so old for them to marry him off early.” Princess Akari
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER ELEVEN
They were sitting next to each other in the back seat of the car. Her crutches were in the middle of them. As she looked at the back, she saw the security from her palace and his following them.She exhaled deeply and looked back at the front. A small smile escaped her lips. The driver and one of the guards were sitting in front and silence enveloped the inside of the car. Not until Flint talks.“You look like you're not close to your parents.” He pointed out.Hannah gulped and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She really didn’t want to talk about it, but it looks like Flint thought it was okay to ask.“How can you say that?”When their eyes meet, she silently wishes that the emotionless she put into it would be worth it. She bit her tongue inside as her closed lips became a shield against what was happening. She can still remember how she easily told him her problems that night, and is afraid she will tell him again.To answer her question, Flint just shrugged his arms. He was doing
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER TWELVE
Time moved too fast, and it was the last night of the tour. Tomorrow, the royals will be back in their respective countries. They decided to stay in the palace all day to prepare for the barbecue party they planned.Hannah was tasked with helping with the food, courtesy of Flint’s suggestion. It was her first time cooking for a crowd, and she was totally nervous. No one voiced their complaints since the plan came from the mouth of the prince. She and Flint have become close friends since the picnic, and everyone can see it. He often joined Hannah and Astrrid during their day trips, much to Catalina’s annoyance. She doesn’t care about Catalina anymore. As long as she knows she didn’t do anything wrong, then she won’t feel guilty about anything.“Let me taste it.” She gasped when someone held her hand, turning to the person’s position. A smirk greeted her while the owner of the mischievous smirk bent down to taste the piece of food in the ladle she was holding.“Could you stop doing tha
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER THIRTEEN
A week had passed, and Hannah kept herself busy by focusing on her studies. Once in a while, Astrrid calls her and tells Hannah all of what is happening on the other side of the world.However, since Hannah has a time limit for using the phone, it is always cut off. It may be shameful to say, but Hannah somehow felt envy every time Astrrid happily told her those stories. She also wanted to experience traveling to other countries and experience the freedom of doing what she wanted, without minding all the restrictions and reactions of her parents.A knock from the door made Hannah come back to reality. From looking outside of her bedroom window, her eyes shifted towards the door, waiting for it to open.It’s her lady in waiting, Alida, whose face is painted with wariness."Is there something wrong, Alida?" She asked. Hannah set the book she was reading on the side table so she could focus entirely on the lady.Alida, on the other hand, was fidgeting with her trembling hands; her eyes d
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"Prince Alexios." Hannah curtsied as she went to their palace’s main door to greet the prince of Greece.Hannah interpreted that Alexios was wearing a formal suit, which meant that he was here for business. Nevertheless, it didn’t hinder Hannah from feeling overjoyed.She has been missing her friends lately so much that even though they call each other regularly, it is still not enough."What brings you here, Alexios?" She asked with a smile as she accepted the prince’s offered arms.Her parents let her attend the prince. She led them to the garden, where some of the maids were preparing tea and snacks. She whispered her thanks when the prince pulled her a chair before he sat in front of her. She can’t help but smile at how well-mannered the prince is. The strong blow of the wind made her eyes squint and her hands tremble."I was on a business trip in the neighboring country." Alexios said, as he also did what Hannah was doing. "We were on our way home when we heard the news about t
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Morning came, and Alexios already needed to go home. Hannah accompanied him until his car went out of her sight.Hannah immediately went to her room to prepare. Her parents were expecting her presence after a while; thus, she should be prepared. She had already submitted the proposal early in the morning via email since she knew her parents were already up at that time.It will be interesting to hear their comments on her proposal.The moment she is in front of her parents' office door, she takes a deep breath before knocking. She then opened the door after hearing her father’s voice.As expected, her mother is already sitting on the sofa. Hannah should feel the pressure, but she held her head high as she walked towards her father’s table.One thing about being a royal is that you should never show any strange emotions. You should be confident in everything you do.And Hannah did. She was proud of what she had made for her proposal. She can handle the judgment or even an insult that w
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER ONE
“Entering the hall is Your Majesty, King Zyden George X and his wife Queen Ellena.” The announcer said loudly as the couple stood at the top of the stairs. "Followed by their beautiful and only daughter, the heir apparent, Princess Hannah Antonette Ruiz from the Kingdom of Andorra." Hannah sighed as yet again her name was spoken incorrectly. It’s Antonyeite, not Antonette. She just fixed her navy-blue ball gown that the dressmakers had just made for her. It is her kind of gown. She likes to wear gowns that would really fit her curves. “Hannah, faster.” She rolled her eyes as her father called her. They were already at the bottom of the stairs while she was still at the top. She sighed, then walked to the stairs. She could feel the eyes of the guests on her. She can’t blame them. This is the first time the heir apparent of the Andorra Kingdom has appeared at a big event. Her father didn’t want her to be known to people until she turned 18. Yesterday marked her 18th birthday, and
The Crownless Royal CHAPTER TWO
“What did you just do there, young lady?” Her father’s hard voice echoed in the small room that she had just stepped into, breaking her temporary freedom. She didn’t know that she was being followed. “You acted like you’re not a princess in front of the prince!” He hissed.He locked the door, afraid that someone would hear them. Behind him is her mother, just looking at her with her cold eyes, as if Hannah was just a commoner working for them. “I just did what I thought was right, father.” Hannah said calmly, as she fixed her gown. “Thought right?! That’s absurd! The prince was insulted because of your behavior!” Prince George raised his hand and made Hannah close her eyes, waiting for the slap.This is also normal in the Ruiz household. Physical abuse was a normal punishment, especially if you didn’t meet their expectations or if you didn’t do well.But after a few minutes, a slap wasn’t heard. “You should be thankful; the Prince of Norway is looking for us right now.” He said har

Hannah immediately stood up and tried her luck to retrace her steps. Nervousness started to creep into her being when she couldn’t still find Catalina, not even a silhouette. She was far from the river now, trailing back her steps. She feels exasperated as time goes by, especially when she realizes that the map was on Catalina’s. If she wandered without it, then she was sure as hell that there would be two princesses lost in just an hour. Calling Catalina’s name, hoping the mentioned name will hear it, but no one’s answering her aside from the birds and the breeze of the wind. She was already sweating from the panic she felt. Her heart beats like crazy, and a series of thoughts keep going through her head. Reaching for her phone, she wanted to call Catalina, but realizing she didn’t have the princess’ number, she sighed once again and put it back down. She knew if she tried to call Minister Kal, then he would help her find Catalina, but then she knew he would tell her parents. And

She has also felt it since when Prince Alexios sat beside her a while ago. However, she shrugged it off, not wanting to assume anything from it. Princess Astrrid, however, pointed it out, making her conscious of anything she does. They were having lunch at Celler d'en Toni, which was also in Andorra la Vella. Minister Kal introduces different main dishes that Hannah already knew since they were also served in the palace sometimes. The vintage style of the restaurant is evidence that it has been present since the early times. The restaurant was passed from generation to generation; thus, the menu has an authentic taste that the customers always love, especially Hannah. The restaurant was one of the country's tourism prides because it had been around since the beginning. Hannah and Astrrid were enjoying chatting while waiting for the main dishes when she felt those shivers. That just meant that he was staring again. She sighed and put down her utensils. “Do you have something to say

Feeling a weight on her belly, Hannah groaned and woke up. The room was still dark inside and also outside when she glanced at the window. Carefully, she moved Astrrid’s hand away from her body. Hannah moved slowly from the room, not wanting to wake Astrrid.After she got her coat, she went downstairs to get herself a glass of water. Most of the lights were turned off as she passed through the hallway. The light coming from the full moon helps Hannah see clearly. When she reached for the modern kitchen, she opened the fridge to get water when she saw a silhouette near the kitchen window.“Oh God.” Hannah clutched her hand to her heart when it was beating so hard because of the shock. After taking a breath, she fully faced the intruder.“Oh.” She muttered, realizing who was behind it. Unable to think of what to do, she just jugged the water bottle and left it on the sink, wanting to exit immediately. However, before she could entirely leave the kitchen, he spoke.“Can’t sleep?”Being i
