'Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.'Seeing his hand wrapped around hers, Kara raised her head up to look up at him. The height difference almost caused her tiara to fall off her head, so she quickly broke free of his hold to fix it.“What are you doing?“ She heard a question. It was from a female voice who looked young.“Fixing… this thi…thing on my…head.“ She replied, getting annoyed at the fact that it refused to stay.“You were supposed to talk about your virtue.“ Kars heard again causing her to look at the girl talking. She looked at the teenage girl sitting on the chair besides where King Vermont was sitting.She almost did a double-take as she saw how stunning the girl was. She was dressed like a princess and had some resemblance to King Vermont.Then she remembered what the girl said, annoyed that all the confused faces around her were still waiting for her to recite her virtues.What the hell does virtuous recitation mean?God, the middle ages were damn weird!So, she stutter
“Now the princess will entertain the guests and her husband with a special performance!“ She heard Madame Sharon announce.WHAT THE WHA?!!!What did she just hear?Entertain her husband and the guests?! Special performance? She turned to look at Aryann who was giving her a worried look and then she blinked as she wondered what to do.She was going to ask what entertainment meant but she figured out that it should be the same everywhere. And since the was the one performing, she can do whatever she wants to do.Her mouth curled up in a smirk and she began tapping her feet. She looked at Arthur with a pleased expression and announced, “Give me a beat.“ Then she looked away, while everyone looked at her in confusion as they pondered on why she was asking for a beat all of a sudden.“Why do you need a beat?“ The king asked in a quiet voice while shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Was his daughter deliberately trying to ruin the wedding so King Vermont wouldn't have to marry her? Why is th
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!“'Thank Goddess, someone can finally see that.“ Uther said.'Shut up.' Arthur dismissed him.A middle-aged man hit a table in front of him and stood up in anger. The man looked at some guards and ordered in anger, “Get that girl out of here now!!“Guards immediately dragged Mona out of the hall.Then the man toward his angry gaze back to Kira. “And you? What nonsense have you been doing in front of us? What stupidity was all that?!“Kira frowned at the insult and she scoffed with her hands placed on her waist and her hips jutted out as if she was striking a pose. “Stupidity? I'm entertaining everyone as required but you dare call it stupidity?“She was furious that the man dare insult her effort.'Did that girl just question your uncle?' Uther asked, not sure he heard right.Arthur just kept quiet.The man huffed and replied, “Entertaining? You're calling your rubbish singing entertaining?“Kira gave him a blank look that tells that she was getting f
Kira collapsed on her bed with her arms and legs spread like an eagle. She didn't know weddings could be so exhausting. She was so tired and everywhere was hurting. She needed to rest but first, she's gonna have to take off everything she was wearing. The uncomfortable crinoline and the corset that was making it hard for her to breathe.She wanted to get up but she felt too lazy to do so. She groaned and muttered to herself, “This wedding should be called the wedding of the century.“Then she sat up at the thought, her eyes darting left and right. 'Maybe when I go back, I could really see it in history.'She chuckled like a crazy person. “Whoa! Unbelievable! Then I should start doing iconic things, ah?“Then her door suddenly opened and she saw Madame Sharon enter with Aryann.“Oh, my lady, are you okay?“ Aryann worriedly asked, almost in tears. You could tell how much she cared about the princess.Kira gave her a dull look as she kept going on and on about how she was scared when the
“Then who gave the food to you?“Kira looked at George and was suddenly engulfed in thought. She took her mind back to the morning and remembered Madame Sharon offering food for her anxiety. Who does that? Food even makes things worse.That fruit salad was the cause of everything. If she had eaten it, then she would have become a complete mad woman.'Oh, thank you, Mona. Gosh, you saved my life from that embarrassment!'King Arthur and King George gave her a look like she was crazy.'You just said that out loud.''Uh?''You just said that out loud.' Cara repeated.Kira looked at the two kings and chuckled awkwardly. “I just said that out loud, didn't I? Well, I'm sure you'll agree that it's better she than me.“'Oh! She's a selfish one. Intriguing.' Uther remarked.Arthur looked away from her with a sigh. He was still confused about her sudden change of attitude. She was a reckless one, like someone lacking guidance in anything. She wasn't acting like a princess.When he saw her then
“So, who did you order to make the food?“ King George questioned cause he was not gonna allow anyone to go free for trying to hurt his daughter.Madame Sharon blinked and looked at Kira's peering gaze on her. She needed a way to get out of the trouble she has wrapped herself into. If only…if only she just ate the food, she could have been blamed for trying to sabotage her own wedding like she's been doing.Stupid girl — I'm only trying to give you what you want.What's even with the change of mind? She was so excited when she heard she was marrying King Vermont. Just like every girl, she was infatuated with him so why the change? She managed to survive drowning, but did that mess with her head? It could have, cause it could only explain the weird changes in her.“Answer the question and quit looking at me!“ Kira said with her mouth curled up in disgust.For some reason, she hates the woman. She doesn't feel safe around her. She feels like there's something uncanny about her.And when
Madame Sharon let out a shaky breath as she looked for ways to get herself out of the mess she found herself in. They needed answers to some questions and all she needed to do was turn the arrow pointed at her toward another target.Then she looked at Kira, feigning worry and pity. "I honestly didn't know you were poisoned and I felt dejected seeing you accusing me of something I had no clue about. If you must know who made the food, it's simple. It's one of the maids in the kitchen. Particularly one called Vivian."King George didn't waste any time ordering to get Vivian and when she arrived, as she heard what she was being accused of, she suddenly fell on her knees in shock. Her eyes were widened in horror and her hands were shaking."I don't…" She wanted to defend only for her gaze to meet Madame Sharon who was kneeling beside her. Madame Shook shook her head at her slowly, giving her a warning gaze.Vivian knew she was in trouble."You don't…" Kira trailed off. "What? I'm not sure
Kira had that fluttering nervous feeling in her belly as she was led outside with her boxes. She was going home with her husband.She has never in her life felt as confused and clueless the way she was at that moment, especially since she didn't know what she was gonna expect there."Are you always this absent-minded or am I to assume that you're only like this when you're around me?" King Arthur who was standing beside one of the carriages caught in her thoughts as he watched Kira who was standing there looking at the carriages absentmindedly.She snapped her head up when she heard the familiar voice of King Arthur. She didn't realize they'd gotten to the carriages. She eyed him unpleasantly. If only he had canceled the marriage."Don't talk to me." She snapped at him.The guards around tried not to react even though they were surprised, but then again, she has done worse inside so it was expected."We're riding together." A young feminine voice informed her from within the carriage.
Hearing about the stables, Kira was interested and she wanted Henrietta to show her as soon as possible but she was willing to take things easy.The day was coming to a slow end so she said her goodbyes to Henrietta so she could freshen up and get ready to eat.Kira was walking down the hallway lost in thought when she suddenly bumped into Jennifer, who was holding a stack of papers. The papers went flying, and Jennifer scrambled to pick them up."Watch where you're going!" Jennifer snapped."Oops, I wasn't paying attention," Kira replied, trying to be conciliatory.Jennifer gathered her papers, and her eyes narrowed as she stood up straight. "I heard what you did with the old queen. You turned down her offer to –" She looked around in fear of any listening voices. "To help bring down Arthur." She whispered."And what's it to you?"I am Prince Kevin's mate! The rightful king.""And so?" Kira questioned her with an 'I don't care' attitude."You made a promise to work with us. There was
King Arthur's office was a spacious room situated at the top of the palace, offering a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. The walls were lined with bookshelves and various maps and charts, hinting at the many responsibilities that fell on his shoulders as both a pack leader and a king. A large wooden desk dominated the center of the room, strewn with papers and scrolls, and several comfortable-looking armchairs were arranged around a small fireplace in the corner.When Kira entered, she found Arthur hunched over his desk, poring over a stack of reports and memos. He was dressed in his usual attire of a simple tunic and trousers, but his expression was tense and focused as he worked through the various duties that came with his position.Kira cleared her throat, announcing her presence, and Arthur looked up, his features softening slightly when he saw her. "Kara," he said, rising from his chair and crossing the room to greet her. "What brings you here?"Kira hesitated, fee
As Kira walked through the garden, she was struck by its beauty. The garden was filled with vibrant colors and sweet fragrances, and the air was thick with the hum of bees and the chirping of birds.The garden was meticulously maintained, with trimmed hedges, blooming flowers of every color, and an array of fruit trees. There was a serene pond in the center of the garden, surrounded by large rocks and pebbles. The water was crystal clear, and Kira could see the fish swimming beneath the surface. 'If only she could enter it.' She thought.The garden was a peaceful oasis, with benches and small tables scattered throughout, inviting visitors to sit and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. As Kira walked further into the garden, she saw a small gazebo off in the distance. The gazebo was covered in vines and flowers, and the sun shone through the leaves, casting a dappled pattern on the ground.Kira couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the beauty of the garden. It was as if she had stepped
Kira heard another knock on her door and wondered who it was this time. "Come in if you're a reasonable person," She said, half expecting it was Arthur coming back to apologize for his mannerless behavior.The door opened and Henrietta, followed by Alice Raymond and Mabel Smith entered with big smiles on their faces."Hope we're reasonable people," Alice said.Kirw frowned at them and shrugged. "Well, I wouldn't know. Are you?"They chuckled awkwardly and Mabel said. "Well, we just came to check on you. We want to take you around the palace, what do you think?"Kira beamed. "I think it would be phenomenal!"They all looked at themselves in confusion.And as they looked at each other in confusion, their brows furrowed in puzzlement. They exchanged a quick glance, trying to communicate without words.Kira could see that their expressions and body language conveyed a sense of bewilderment and helplessness, as they tried to make sense of something that was beyond their understanding. She
As Kira woke up to a new day, she rubbed her eyes and looked around the room, still feeling disoriented. The luxurious room, the soft bed, and the unfamiliar surroundings all reminded her that she was no longer in the world she knew.Her mind quickly went to escape once more. She knew she had to get out of this place as soon as possible, but the question was how? She had no idea how to navigate this new world, let alone find a way to escape from the kingdom.Kira got up from the bed, freshened up, dressed up, and went to the window. She looked outside, observing the people walking around the castle grounds. It was all so different from what she was used to. She missed the familiar sound of the city and the organized chaos of the mafia world.Now that she was here with no place to go and no idea where Aryann is, she realized she was in for a very long and boring life if she didn't find a way out as soon as possible. There was no television to watch, no phone or laptop, no place that sh
King Arthur looked out the window in his office. The city was dark except for a few lights here and there from torches and lanterns.A lot was going through his mind, mostly about his new bride and the plan his step mother and step brother have for her. He wondered if it could work.He was in doubt that his queen would fall for their antics. Seeing how she was, he was sure they would be disappointed."Alpha Vermont."Then his door opened, and his Beta and Gamma who are equally his best friends entered. They were childhood friends and they trained together since when they were six.As best friends, he already stamped it that when he became king, he would keep them side by side with him. Daring the fact that Lance Fell's offspring was meant to be the next beta.They just had to accept what he wanted. It was his choice and order."Your bride is ready to meet the royals," Gamma Edwin informed.King Arthur nodded with his back still turned to them. "Anything else?""Miss Karina was assigne
Kira was led to a room far bigger and well-arranged compared to the one she had in the other kingdom. The room was almost empty, left with a king-sized bed and dressing table with a mirror on the wall. The similarity of her modern room to this one is that it was on the third floor which means she could clearly see the city through the window even though the view of the city is not that enticing compared to the one in her world.Thinking about that, she approached the window as a thought came to mind.The door behind her opened and a girl entered but she didn't care to spare a glance cause she was more focused on the plan she was suddenly imbued with."My lady,"'I can use this window to escape when the need arises.' Kira thought to herself. She just needed to try, plus she was gonna need a rope to help her down. As a Mafia, she has engaged herself in so many dangerous activities. She made sure there was nothing she was lacking on, even jumping from a building was an easy feat for her.
"We are about to enter the city!" Princess Henrietta announced with excitement in her voice as she looked outside the window of the carriage.Out of curiosity, Kira quickly moved the other window to look out, not minding that King Arthur was there.Unlike the city they were coming from, there was no tall city wall or gate. People were moving around freely like they had no care of the world. There was an undertone of arrogance to it, almost as though they were daring other kingdoms to attack them. She noticed how the people went on their knees and bowed their heads as they saw the carriage and she looked at King Arthur, realizing he must have been some kind of scary king, especially remembering how the guests at their wedding behaved. They were all scared of him."Don't you think your face is too close or do you have no problem kissing me at this early stage of our marriage?" Arthur teased with his mouth curled up.Kira blinked and sat back down. She scoffed and glanced at him. He sure
Kira had that fluttering nervous feeling in her belly as she was led outside with her boxes. She was going home with her husband.She has never in her life felt as confused and clueless the way she was at that moment, especially since she didn't know what she was gonna expect there."Are you always this absent-minded or am I to assume that you're only like this when you're around me?"
