Alpha Arnold of Greenland Park was betrothed from a youthful age to the Luna of the Tiger Park, Alicia in allegiance to maintain the interconnection between the two parks. They lived in bliss for five years until a sudden attack occurred. The majority of each park including Alicia were taken captive by the soldiers of the great Genovia. Several years later, Arnold turned out to be the crown prince of Genovia. Alicia thought it was the beginning of a new life after she was summoned to the palace by her childhood lover, but she got whacked by the realization that she was called upon by a totally different reason and that the one she had waited for years, was now the opposite of what he used to be. She quoted him as a "lowlife devil" How did Arnold become the Crown Prince? Why were they a victim of an unexpected attack by the Genovian soldiers, and will they still find a space in their hearts to forgive each other?
View MoreAlicia's POV A month later~~~~~ Anastasia was among the ladies who assisted with treating the wounded soldiers and guards. She gave details on how Fatou had assisted and sneaked out the maids as none of the powerful Royal family was in the palace to control anything. She explained that Fatou had warned a maid not to call Arnold's wife as her mission in Genovia was done. Apparently, she had married Arnold for a reason which included a mission to take back a treasure that belonged to Oceania and to snitch about the Genovia system and the activities going on in the country to her father, but unfortunately, Arnold had caught her in the process, and they had bargained to help each other out. Those times she had acted jealous were all planned. Our palace is located close to my parent's burial ground since Arnold didn't want to go back to Genovia as he insisted that the place was his nightmare that brought back his pastThe great Genovia collapsed within the twinkle of an eye and other c
Alicia's POV"I had thought it was the best way to get revenge on you. I thought it's best to cooperate with Cone us better. I never thought...that…" I stammered in fear. I was already losing the strength in me, and I was ready for death if that's the case. I was so fatigued and weary. Arnold suddenly kissed me on the lips "The deed has been done. Just quietly follow me. With you by my side, I am very sure to conquer the enemy" he hugged me and I nodded my head with tears still streaming down from my cheek. At that moment, I suddenly doubt if I deserve Arnold. Arnold took me on a wild ride on a horse. The journey was down to a faraway path where extremely high mountains are located. At that place, we met Abel and Arnold's other strong-faced guard whom I had forgotten his name. There were other soldiers also, and it made me wonder if they had been planning to attack Genovia. From my estimation of those who were a bit from us, I could count them as about five hundred of them. I w
Alicia's POV Princess Micah's eyes were glaring over. She was flinching and shrinking as blood kept gushing out of her stomach. Her stomach was entirely shredded like the murderer had something hidden in it. It looked like the murder had just occurred recently as the blood was fresh. My legs felt too heavy to move as the scene made my body shiver terribly. The first statement that rang in my head was "If only I had gone inside the tent earlier"All of a sudden, I felt her hand stir even in this condition. I rushed to her and grabbed her arm. "Your Highness, what happened? Just hold on for me, ple..ase. I need to go and r.. raise the alarm!" I stuttered and tried to rush outside, but she tapped me instead. I wept bitterly as blood burst out of her mouth when she wanted to speak, "My baby," she touched her bleeding stomach "Is there a way to save my baby?" What baby is she talking about?"Let me go and check for the Royal doctor. Please, my Princess please don't do this to me. oh
Alicia's POV I knew Arnold was battling with conflicted emotions. I knew that he was trying so hard not to break down tremendously. His mother died and he had to dine with her killers. For years he had carried the wounds and blames even though he only meant well for his people. I can't give him full assurance for his betrayal but I will support him as much as I can. Deep down I just hoped the letter I had given Cone wouldn't sneak out some of his plans as I now comprehended that he has good intentions. If the Royal family knows about any of his plans beforehand, they might use it against him. From what I learned from my father because I was always with him while my mother controlled the affairs of the Park. Father told me that the people are the power of a leader. If the majority of the citizens are against their leader, and they cooperate for what they want, there is nothing the leader can do but please them. With the fact that Arnold wasn't a legitimate son, it wouldn't take lo
Alicia's POVI wiped the tears away from his eyes and he held my hand passionately "My suicide option cleared off my mind a bit when I saw Abel. On that spot, he said he wanted to tell me that his mother had mastered my writing, bribed the guard that was sent to Genovia, and had written more notes on the letter we had sent about them assisting us. She had written that your Park was trying to fight against Genovia because you discovered an ore mine. She intended to get all the ore mine for us alone without knowing that the Genovians are the master of evil plans or probably, she had other plans for doing such a thing. The mention of forming a coup on Genovia made them embark on an unexpected attack on your Park, and our ignorance of the location of the ore mine made them move on hard on my Park." Arnold and I wept bitterly. He tugged my head to himself and placed his head on it. I whimpered loudly until I began to hiccup. Arnold was mute for some time before he proceeded. "Abel w
Alicia's POV"It was so hard to accept that I was a son to another man, but I did after he died. I consoled myself that since no one knows, it shouldn't bother me. He had taken care of me and nothing mattered as long as everyone knew that he was my father. He made me pledge to him to take very good care of the Park even though things were hard at that time. I pledged to him and focused on that. I didn't know that my consolation was just blank because my stepmother, Abel's mother, had peeked and overhead us when we were talking." he says which made me raise an eyebrow but I didn't want to interrupt him. Ooh…that explains everything. Abel was Arnold's brother but not related by blood. Does that make them step-brothers too?!Oh yeah. That explains it. But how come I never knew he had a brother by the name of Abel? I only knew Jason. "Are you not surprised by that?" Arnold chuckled bitterly. "Not really" I shrugged my shoulders with my head still on his shoulder. "Why?" he quer
Alicia's POV Arnold held up a piece of the perfectly grilled chicken to my mouth, but I tightened my lips in rejection. He places it in my mouth like that for minutes. It was like we were competing on who would give in first. I couldn't keep my lips like that anymore and out of exhaustion, it made me end up loosening my lips. "Stop already," I scolded but he hastily pushed it into my mouth. I stared at him with an unsatisfying expression, but he was rather pleased that he had won. "Eat" he urged and munched on the piece of meat he took for himself. Throughout our eating session, anytime I told him that I was filled up, he would rub my stomach to be assured. If he isn't satisfied with the swelling of my stomach, he won't agree and exhorts me to continue eating until I silently yell at him. "Let's go to my room," Arnold lets out. He hauled me in his arms before I could reply. When he got into his room, he gently positioned me at the edge of his Emperor-size bed and started pulling h
Alicia's POV "Three guards are outside waiting for you! You need to hurriedly shower, and go meet them" My gossip friend shrieked, and pulled me to stand up "I know that you might be tired, but swears all three of them are the personal guards of each Royal individual" she explained further to me who was dozing off while moving to the direction of the bathroom. I only took a shower, brushed my teeth, and went back to dress up. My friend helped me style my hair neatly, and without eating breakfast, I walked out to the entrance of the quarters. I was stunned to see them still there. I slightly bowed and then stared at them one after the other. I recognized one as Princess Micah's personal male guard, the second one as Cone's guard, and the last one was unrecognizable, but was probably a guard of a Prince as my friend mentioned. I wondered what their masters could want from me in the early hours of the morning. "I got here before anyone. Let's go, you do not want to keep the Princess w
An unknown person's POV "Did you witness the drama that occurred at the court today, Alphonse?" I snickered as I recalled Arnold's replay. "Yes, your Majesty" he nodded his head in disbelief. "Do you believe him?" I ask and smirked but my guard finds it difficult to answer. Everyone else would find it difficult because it wasn't Arnold's thing to say something like that. No one would easily detect him except someone who is extremely observant and has been observing his moves for a long time.No matter how amusing Arnold's tale is, it doesn't change the fact that he has changed. The normal Arnold wouldn't care but rather focus on tormenting the maid even if she wasn't at fault. Today's Arnold wasn't the vicious bastard I used to know. I knew it from that day the Alicia lady had danced. She was someone dear to him. I had wanted to keep a closer look, but it got more intense after it seemed like their relationship was more interesting than I thought. After all these years I had wait
Alicia's POVThe Royal harbingers ambled inside the prime minister's manor immediately after I wrapped up scrubbing Lady Dia's feet. I swerved in respect and watched with half-lidded eyes as they matched forward to the giant entrance of the building while the guards scurried to open the portico. They were definitely here to convey an important message. I stretched my back and wiped the sweat on my forehead the moment they entered. It had been an exhausting and dampening day. As usual, I wasn't able to avoid Lady Dia's typical abuse of my face. Every single time her eyes came in contact with me, she would land a stinging slap on my cheek, including other unnecessary mistreatment at any slight mistake I made. Lady Dia wasn't that antagonistic when I first got peddled to the family. According to what I heard from the other servants, her severe rigour and bitterness towards me were a result of the crown prince noticing my presence during a ball I was appointed to be her entourage.
