The Princess And Her Peasant The Bet
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View|My relaxing time ends as soon as I return to the palace after visiting Micah's parents.Arriving at the palace, Micah complains about getting a penalty from his commander for not following the schedule as he has missed one day and straightaway goes for his training sessions.As he gets busy with his training as a soldier, I engage myself with my work. After getting permission from my father, I hold a court meeting which (surprisingly) all the Dukes attend. I firsthand assumed most wouldn't even bother to be there.I take the throne that is next to my father's, one step below. My eyes skim over the attendees, and one of the footmen hands me the scrolls that I need for the meeting. I address everyone and say that the purpose of the meeting is to announce that I will nominate myself to be the next Queen.Whispers spread in the hall, and I raise my hand to silence them. I speak about my plans and proposals. Then I finally ask who are willing to work with me

|Micah’s Point Of View| Right now, in the Drawing room, sitting in front of me is the Queen of my kingdom with no one else but she, her and I ─ the Queen, my Princess and I. My Princess? Yes, of course. My Princess. Who else's... I watch as the Queen pours tea, nervousness gobbling me whole, and Princess next to me doesn't look good either. I bet she already knows that this conversation means no good. The Queen hands over a tea to Princess, and I wait till she makes one for herself, obviously not making me one as I am just a- Okay, she hands me one too, which I gracefully take with shaky hands, trying my best not to spill the golden colour liquid. "It's nice to see you holding a sword once again, Zoey. How long has it been since you stopped your practices?" she asks the Princess. I feel relieved that she sounds all calm and serene... not serious-like. "It's been a while... I think since Patrick- Prince Patrick came into the picture." Princess wears a cute frown and shakes her hea

|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| We look out of the window together. The view from my room of the palace grounds is outstanding as it is on the first floor. The workers are running here and there down on the grounds, carrying trays, flowers and whatnot. Everyone seems to be busy with the ballroom preparations. I feel Micah's hands on my waist slowly caressing circles as if to soothe me. "You are stressed out." he kisses my cheek. I hum, "How can I not? We are talking about the noblemen here. They hold a shitload of power. And sometimes even a king can waver." "But you shouldn't waver, you know. Never show it. Because if you do, it'll be for them, not for you." "Absolutely." I lean against his chest, feeling his heartbeat against my nape. "If it's about the ball today. Knight James appointed a few of my fellow folks to guard the hall. And some to be by the entrance to check whether the swords (in masquerade ball attire, a fake sword comes with it) are all fake. And the faces of ev

|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| After the masquerade ball, I walk out of the ballroom, tired as ever. Micah joins me, looking a bit preoccupied in his mind. So I ask why. "During the Queen's speech, three people left the ballroom when there's no reason to do so. They came only after the ball was over," he explains. "You should've gone after them," I say. "I can't risk your safety. Not even once." he sternly says. "Yeah…and. It's fine. The event is over, and my father's not in danger. I will go to my room. Can you make your way to Knight James or Henry and inform one of them about the occurrence?" I ask. "Yes, your Highness. I will be on that." Micah leaves as we are near my room. So I walk inside and ask Pamela to check the surroundings for anything suspicious. I also send a few extra guards to guard the chambers of the guests who are spending the night in the palace. I change into my night attire, and Micah comes in after a while, changed into his soldier attire. "Why are you

|Micah’s Point Of View| Princess's hand clutches at my sleeve as she stares at the blood pool and the dead body in horror. Her eyes jump from the blood to the slit-opened throat of the lady. "You can't cry," I whisper to Princess, gently holding her upper arm. I don't hug her because people have already gathered around us. And I want Princess to look strong, unshaken by this incident. The crowd parts when Knight James and Knight Henry come in. Knight James looks at the dead body with a raised eyebrow while the other gets down and examines the body, confirming the death and looking for clues. "Micah she- she's dead," Princess whispers to me in disbelief. "I know. But- you can't cry now. Hold on there. Act strong for now." I whisper back. She nods, understanding what I mean. She clutches my sleeve harder and looks at James, who's already looking at us. "I-" Princess clears her shaky voice. "-I want all the witnesses of the body to remain where they are. Knight James will take care
Last Updated : 2023-02-16The Princess And Her Peasant Micah's Fault
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| The eerie silence of the palace gives me chills. Even past 6 am, we worked on finding the culprit from the guests of the masquerade ball. But it was impossible because, according to the workers, no one had worn the sea blue colour as the night's colours were dark colours. It made us wonder what the whole mix-up was. Finally, James concluded maybe the murderer appeared to wear blue at that moment, or maybe it was a whole other person from the outside of the palace. Things gave me a headache, so I threw things across the room and asked everyone to leave. As expected, Micah didn't leave and convinced me to take some rest. So at 6 am, I finally went to sleep with him watching over me. In my dreams, it is only the Viscountess whispering to me that I am the reason why she got killed... that all the chaos is happening because of me. I wake up gasping for air and feel fear creeping through my body. But Micah soothes me down, and I realise he hasn't got a wi

|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| I look down at Micah with wide eyes. He drops his sword and keeps his palms on the ground. "I know I have... ruined all the plans and put many lives at stake. I admit I am at fault, and I will take all responsibility. I believe there's still a chance- a chance we can get help and mend this. I will- gladly leave if it means Princess's life won't be in danger." he says. "What the hell are you saying?!" I ask Micah who's a shithead! I get down in front of him and shake him by his shoulders. I want to bring him back to his senses and say that he won't leave me, no matter what. "Come back to your damn senses, idiot!" Father leaves amid all that, and tears stream down Micah's eyes. "I just- realised I've a-always been the reason for all this, y-your highness." he pulls me into a hug and cries out. I've never seen him this way that I feel my heart aching at the sight, and I embrace him. "Are you giving up on me?" I ask. I feel him shake his head. "Then

The Princess And Her Peasant Epilogue
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Baby “Alice” was four years old when I was in labour, having my second daughter, who we named “Caroline”. Alice cried for days saying that she didn't want to share her parents with another person. But after a few days, when we let her see the little baby, she fell in love immediately. Taking care of two kids, along with doing my work, became really hard. So Pamela had to look after the two Princesses all the time. Meanwhile, Micah worked hard as a section leader after getting promoted twice. One year after, I got Crowned as the Queen of my kingdom, creating history as the first female omega to hold the throne. The same year, there was a minor rebel in a district that Micah calmed down with his fellow colleagues. He managed it so well that I promoted him from Section Leader to Section Commander. ~.~ "No more kids. Look at this stomach." I poke at my stomach in front of the mirror. "You look cuter now," Micah says. He gets down from the bed and walk
The Princess And Her Peasant The News
|Micah’s Point Of View|"My daughter is not pregnant by a peasant. It's a joke. It's a nightmare. It's a lie. You are lying! Right?" Princess's father asks me."I- I am not lying, your highness," I reply timidly, afraid I might piss him off."Oh my god!" Princess's mother gasps dramatically and falls onto her chair. "Our daughter is giving us a grandchild? I am so excited. Let me go see Zoey right now." she stands up and literally runs out of the hall to see Zoey.These two are so dramatic..."You are done." the King glares at me. "How could you impregnate my daughter!? How dare you?" he asks me.He makes no sense. I love his daughter, and one thing led to another and-He sighs and sits on his throne.Then, "You win." he says."Huh?""You win. You've got my daughter.""Your Highness. There was never a competition between you and me. I know I did wrong to the royal family and to the entire kingdom. I am wrong, but I dearly love your daughter. So please don't think I am your opponent. B
The Princess And Her Peasant The Surprise!(mature)
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| A few weeks passed after my birthday celebrations, and everyone was preparing for my coronation. I was in a good mood the whole day, but some rumours made me feel nostalgic and moody. So while in my bath, I splash around the water in frustration. I hear footsteps after a while, and Micah walks inside. "So? What did you find out?" I ask. "It turns out the rumours aren't just rumours. Viscountess Tessa has given birth to a child downtown before death, and the father is a peasant. Other details are unknown to us." he reports to me. "Oh my goodness." I cry out. "What did her parents say?" "They were unaware of the pregnancy." "That means... she left the kingdom a few months back when she got pregnant. She gave birth to her child secretly. Then came back and..." I ponder. "Yeah... Her highness assumes she kept it a secret because the father is a peasant." I stand up in my bathtub, "Micah, we must find out where her baby is! That's the least we can do
The Princess And Her Peasant Crowning
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Duchess WInter got convicted of treason and was to be executed. But I stopped my father from doing so and banished him to Kingdom Neopatras. While that, Prince Patrick forgave her and took her in. The last time I heard... Neopatras was in chaos because of the news that the Crowned Prince was in love with a criminal. I sip on my soup as I glance at my parents. I look at Micah to find him silently chewing on some bread. Even his breathing is extremely silent. Well, it's not like I am any different. I am extra careful with my actions because I know my parents didn't call us here for no reason. They probably have something important to talk about. Either about what happened or about the future of the kingdom. "Now we got to talk." my father breaks the ice. I feel a chill down my spine. I am not sure why I am feeling scared. I hope it isn't anything bad. "A-about?" I ask as if I am clueless. "A few things." he clears his throat. "About everything." he
The Princess And Her Peasant The Aftermath
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| I take quick breaths as I sit on a step and keep my sword aside. I clasp my hands together and stretch upwards to relieve the pain after practising sword art with Micah for the third time this week. I lean against the wall and look up at the sky. The clouds move faster as it is windy today. I take a deep breath and feel the fresh wind running through my nostrils. A peaceful palace is the best. And it feels rather strange to have this much peace after what happened two months ago. It took me one week to wake up after being assaulted by Duke Tyler. When I did, I had no physical strength, and my whole lower half was purple. Still, the scar hasn't left. When I heard that we'd defeated the enemy, I couldn't be happier. My father asked me to take some rest, and he dealt with punishing the ones who were responsible for the treason. Well... almost all were killed by us. But still, their families got banished and executed. Then the alive ones got imprisoned, i
The Princess And Her Peasant The Killing
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Just then, I hear a whizzing sound in the air. I assume it's Micah, but it comes from a balcony. Baron sky gets hit on his neck and falls to the ground dead. We look at the balcony, only to find my maid, Pamela holding a bow and smiling at her victory. "Aarh!" Duke Tyler yells in anger. "Winter, kill that wench for the better!" he orders Duchess Winter. Trust me when I say it's the most painful thing to witness. My best friend looks at me in guilt. Then she bows her head to my enemy and takes his order. She sprints toward the stairway, and my eyes widen as I look back at Pamela. She looks frightened. "Pam! Run! Run!! Fast! Go!" I yell while blocking another sword slash. I see that Pamela’s shaken by fear and frozen right where she is. And I see my best friend running toward her with her sword. That sight makes my anger take the best out of me. "Winter you betraying piece of shit!!" I scream till my throat hurts. Then I grab my hidden knife from my
The Princess And Her Peasant The Betrayal
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Winter! What is she doing with my enemies? She walks toward us, and under my watchful eyes, she joins the enemy group. My sword freezes in mid-air as I stare at her in disbelief. Duke Tyler sees my expression and laughs aloud. "Isn't it surprising little Princess? I told you already you are so naive. Winter has been on my side since the beginning. And she worked to lure you-" "He's lying!" Winter yells. "I- I did everything because of my f-father," she says. I clench my sword's grip and continue staring at her. As her eyes meet mine, I remember how she entered my chambers to talk with me today as if she cared. What is this? I don't understand. I want an explanation. If she was always on my enemies' side, why did she bother to help me? Why did she go through all that for me? And she's wearing that colour as well- "Did you kill the Viscountess?" I ask the question that struck my mind the moment I saw her hat. She looks down and doesn't answer. Ins
