After her annoying encounter with Scott, Isabelle went back into the palace to complete her chores. She then saw Gwen, washing a pile of clothes in the washroom.

”Hello, I just came to pick up some sheets.”

"Hmm." Gwen hummed. Isabelle stared at Gwen from the corner of her eye. This is the girl she was going to use to get her revenge. Her roommate's sister.

A part of her didn't know if the plan would work, but they could try. 'Should she start a conversation with her?'

"It's been three weeks since Aurora moved in with me. How are you coping?"

”I'm coping just fine. The world doesn't revolve around her." Gwen said.

"True, It's normal that you are trying to protect her from any type of issues with the royal family, but she doesn't get that."

Gwen had a look of surprise on her face. "What did she tell you?”

”She told me everything that happened, she even confessed that she truly is trying to woo the king,and she believes that she's getting to him.

”Like i didn't already know that. She t

    ”Glad you could make it, Councilman Duran.” Said Mr Parsan. ”I wouldn't miss it for anything. Mrs Parsan, beautiful as ever." He said while placing a kiss on the woman's hand. "Oh thank you, please have a seat." She said with a smile. A few maids arrived to serve tea. Mrs parson kept glancing towards the stairs, wondering when her daughter would come down.Meanwhile, Laura was still in her room, having a mental debate."Ok Laura, there's no need to panic. You just have to act yourself, nothing more. He might not even be that bad.” She then looked at herself in the mirror.Her blue dress of many layers was beautiful. The skirt flowed down perfectly., covering her feet. It hugged her waist nicely, showing off her curves. She placed her hand on her stomach, trying to breathe properly. The corset was too tight. She complained about this, but her mother didn't let the maids pay heed to her. If she continued like this, she might just pass out.”Just for an hour, you only have to endure th

    The next day;"No moping around, no talks about every stunt you've pulled and try to inquire about him ok?" Said Mrs Parson to her daughter, as she adjusted her dress. Laura could only nod her head at the woman's requests. She was going to be meeting Councilman Duran today and she was nervous.'What if he doesn't meet my expectations?.' Laura thought. The few minutes she spent with him yesterday weren't enough to judge him.”And please act elegant…""Mother, that's enough. Even If I act in all of this manner it won't be the predictor of him liking me.””Of course it will! That should be every woman's attribute."”And then every woman in the world will be alike, where is the fun in that? A woman should be herself in order for a man to love her for who she is. ”Just do as I say, do not mess this up Laura da' Silva Parson.””I won't." She muttered. She looked at her reflection with a frown. She hated it when her hair was styled like this. But she couldn't do anything about it now.A mai

    ”So how was it? Did you two have fun? You only spent one hour, what happened..""Mother! Please i just arrived, can't you give me a break?""A break! This is about your future Laura. Now what happened?""Nothing much. We went to eat, we chatted for a while and he brought me back.”"So that's all?" "Yes mother, what else could have happened?" Laura asked her mother."Didn't you two talk about any future plans like marriage?”"And why should we? We've just started to know each other.""You aren't playing your cards right Laura. Don't you like him?"Laura pinched the spot between her eyebrows. Kilan is very good looking and has his charms. He's also sweet and thoughtful. But she wasn't sure if she liked him. Although she felt comfortable with him, that doesn't mean she's in love with him.”I don't know, I can't figure that out right away. Mom please, I'm not in a hurry. Just give me some time to know him better, that is if he wants it.”Mrs Parson gave a sigh of defeat. ”Fine, but pleas

    A horse galloped across the yard of the Parson's estate. A messenger man rode this horse towards the entrance. He handed over an item, wrapped in brown paper, to one of the guards at the front.”Delivery for Laura Parson." He informed and then the man rode away.The guard then immediately went to deliver it to the lady. Laura who was in the parlour, reading a magazine with a cup of coffee in her hands, looked up when she noticed the guards presence."What do you want?""A delivery for you lady Laura." He replied and handed over the huge wrapped item. Laura inspected the package. She hasn't ordered anything, so who sent this to her? "Alright, you may leave.” Laura immediately unwrapped the package and there she saw a bouquet of daisies. Her mouth formed an o-shape. The sweet and earth scent of the flowers wafted up her nose and a smile formed onto her lips. She dug through the flowers and she found a note.”A little gift for accepting my invitation. I had an amazing time and I know yo

    Kilan was in his office situated in his home. Going through some of the statements and reports of the Valpees attack. Kevin was supposed to be back. Being his assistant, he needed him by his side at all times. But Kilan also needed him to survey the village. Not like the the security there wasn't enough. He just didn't trust them completely.There's a possibility that the attack was because of the newly discovered gold mine. They wanted to carry out their operation, but the village vigilante caught them. But the vigilantes weren't fully equipped. They were killed and the commotion alerted the villagers. The villagers who were still on the streets got caught up in it and they also got killed.They escaped without a trace. They could be local thieves or gang members. Whoever they were, they need to be caught.”Councilman Duran, someone is here for you.” His butler informed.”Let them in." It was quarter past nine. Who could be here wanting to talk to him at this hour of the night? The

    A few days later;After Kevin's death, the past few days became hectic for Kilan. First, he dedicated his time in preparing a proper funeral for his deceased assistant, which took place three days after his death.Although Kevin wasn't married, he still had his parents. Kilan paid his condolences to them, promising that he would always be at their disposal.After this, Kilan had to come in front of the council to explain things to them. Although the council ended up concluding that it was a mugging as they earlier suspected, Kilan still didn't believe that. "Kilan, you should try to talk to Mackenzie and see what he says." Said Kamillah. They were in his main office in the council. The chattering outside of the room made him cranky, so he slammed the door shut locked it and pulled the curtains."You seem restless, what's wrong?" She asked, walking towards his desk. He gave a frustrated sigh."Everything Kamillah. Kevin died and no one is working on the case, we don't even have any le

    Two weeks later;Laura strolled down the steps at a calculated pace. Moving elegantly, she looks nothing less to that of a princess. She is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. The dress which flowed freely onto the ground, had its train sweeping the floor. Instead of the classic long sleeve, it was sewn to be short sleeved instead. Her hair was styled in a bun and in her hands was a bouquet of flowers."You look beautiful darling." Says her mother. Laura only gives her a smile. She looks towards her father to see a warm smile on his face. "Are you ready?" Her father asks. Without any delay, they were out of their house and heading into their carriage. Mrs Parson continuously stares at her daughter. It was like she was in awe. To see her only daughter getting married made her emotional.When they arrived at the church, she stared at the qqqatall building. Flowers were arranged at the entrance and petals were sprinkled on the ground. It all looked very beautiful. She links her arms w

    Laura was definitely not paying attention to what Ciara was saying. Her mind was on Kilan who just arrived with a woman she knew too well. Ciara, who noticed this, looked to where Laura's attention was.She then saw that Laura was staring at Councilman Duran who arrived with Kamillah Saline."Laura, are you ok?""Yes, I am." Laura had a grimace on her face. And here she was worried about him and he was here, holding hands with some woman. "That's Councilman Kilan Duran, he's part of the council." Ciara informed her."I know." Laura said with a forced smile."And she is Kamillah Saline. As far as I know, she's the advisor to Sir Mackenzie, the head of the council."Laura stared at the woman that had a contagious smile on her face. She looked at her from top to bottom. She had a pretty face, that's for sure, and her shoulder length hair bounced perfectly. The dress she wore fit her perfectly."I know." Ciara gives her friend a dumb look. "So why are you staring at them like that?" "I

    "Oh princess, this is horrible! I fear this will be the end of us.“ Said Vicky. Isabelle groaned and threw the covers off her body.“Exactly! Grandma and Grandpa are so mad. If they could, they would kick father out of here."“But that's not possible. Another war is upon us.““Vicky! Don't be so pessimistic. We will get out of this situation, even though I don't know how.““You just can't see the seriousness of this matter. The last war between these two sides was horrible. So many casualties occured on both sides. It was a war to be remembered.““I know, my brothers have told me. But I believe that this king Owen won't wage a war against his own daughter. That would be madness!""He is mad. I have people who live there. The kingdom is a hell hole. He rules them with an iron fist. He even cut ties with some kingdoms who helped with some productions. He's suffering the kingdom. But somehow, they've been surviving.“ "He sounds like he's mentally unstable. Maybe Gabriel was right.l, we

    Isabelle glanced from her brothers to her father. He had an unreadable expression. Lauren hadn't said a word, she just stayed rooted on her seat, face still in her hands.“What happened?“ Darien asked. It was at that moment that the adults acknowledged their presence. Karla just let out a huff.“There's no point hiding it from them.“ Said Charles. He then loosened his tie. "Tell them what you did and the war you've plunged their home Into." He exclaimed.Isabelle wanted to say something but she decided against it. What could she even say? And she believed that her brothers could handle it. "What do we need to know?" Asked Gabriel with a curious look. Isabelle stared at him, slightly shocked. Were they going to pretend that they didn't already know?"Yes father, what do you want to tell us?" Added Darien. Darien's statement answered her question. "He won't talk, because he knows what he's done is wrong." Karla said. She was extremely angry and it bothered Isabelle. She immediately ra

    After their reunion, they all headed back to the palace. Darien and Gabriel had caught three Stags. Isabelle knew that at one point her brothers got competitive. Habriel always wanted to prove that he was a better hunter than Darken, and Darien being the eldest wouldn't allow his younger brother to surpass him. But she just didn't know who got two Stags, to become the winner.When they finally arrived at the palace, Lauren alighted from her horse and immediately went inside without sparing the siblings a look. Darien then pulled his sister and brother inside.“So what happened?“ Darien asked his sister.“Nothing. We talked for a while and I went off to get the Antelope. She followed later on.““So in conclusion it didn't go as planned.“ Said Gabriel.“It was slightly alright. But I asked her about her family and she said that her parents were dead.““Lies, how long do they think they can keep this from us?“ Questioned Darien.

Queen Lauren has already agreed, why can't you do the same?"“I would follow if you hadn't invited her. We only hunt with our family. She is not our mother Belle."“But she's father's wife and he would like for us to treat her as our mother.““She can never replace mother. Father has literally brought doom to our kingdom by marrying her."“I know, but I just want us to put aside our differences. And maybe Father will even…““What? That he'll become the caring father that he was before? That will never happen Belle. That all perished when mother died. And now that he has another wife, it's impossible." He said bitterly. Isabelle stared at her brother in shock.“It's not impossible! Father will realise that we are giving her a chance and that we respect him. He will change towards us.“ Isabelle stated with teary eyes. Ever since their

Princess Lauren was in this Kingdom and he was going to dig every sort of information about her presence here.Right now, he had just found out something very shocking. The king of Valeria and his princess had gotten married a few days ago! He almost had a heart attack when he heard. He wondered what sort of game the princess, and now Queen of Valeria, was playing. Hooking up with the King of Valeria was bad enough, but getting married to him was even worse. He wondered if his King knew already.There was little information. Apparently the wedding was done low-key and only a few people were invited. That means they didn't want it to get out, knowing that King Owen might find out about it. But how long was she planning on hiding it? It was definitely a secret that would come out in a matter of time.He reported back to King Owen, telling him about when they got married, where when, and even the dress she w

    In the gallery, Gabriel, Darien and little Isabelle were all seated. Gabriel was busy painting something on a canvas, while he pretended like he wasn't paying attention to his siblings.“So grandmother told you that they weren't accepting Lauren as Queen?“ Asked Darien.“Yes, and so did grandpa. But I don't know why. For some reason, they do not like her. And I like her." Isabelle said with a pout.“And why do you like her already?" He asked.“I don't know, she seems sweet and I'm going to have a sibling!"“You already have siblings, Belle.“ Gabriel responded, as he finally decided to intervene."I mean a younger sibling. It's going to be fun to be older than someone for once.““I don't care about that. All I want to know is why they completely detest her. I understand that they might be mad about father not informing them about the marriage, but that doesn't seem to be the case here."“Of course that's not the reason.

    King Owen stormed into his room angrily. "Leave!“ He yelled at the maids. Instantly, they scurried out of the room. His brother must be lying. Lauren couldn't be smooth with that man. It was impossible! He knew his daughter better than that.His brother must be trying to trick him, trying to see his daughter as a traitor. But what if it was true? His daughter was in love with the enemy! If that was true, then he would never forgive her. That would be the biggest betrayal. An unforgivable one.After much contemplation, he decides to investigate. He rings a bell at his table and a maid immediately comes in."Your highness?“"Get me Falley.““Right away." The maid hurried to get Falley, the king's right hand man. Falley, after a few minutes of being informed of the king's awaiting his presence, arrived at his room."You were seeking me, your highness?“ Falley is a man of great height.
