Charles opposed Christian uplifting as well."If offending you is to please Christian, I won't mind doing that." Isabella replied, Charles."You must?" Charles lifted his hands to hit Isabella's face when a guard held them."Do you know the repercussions of what you planned on doing, hitting the queen?" Emily confronted him."Stay away from this, Emily. Moreover, are you not the same as Christian?" What do you think your differences are?" Emily asked further."For this, Charles, I will hurt you to the last." Isabella replied to him aggressively."I don't care, as long as Christian goes down, getting him down from the position you have placed him." Charles shouted."Charles!" Renee shouted as she called his name."What has come over you? Are you aware that she is the queen?" She asked him with a furious look. "You shouldn't take it to that extent." Renee lamented."She mustn't place him so high as that, forgetting the fact that the throne was once mine until I stepped down to have her
Chapter oneThe princess's choiceWhen a prince decides to take a commoner as a wife, he has to forfeit his throne to any of his siblings, and where he has none, a member of the extended family takes over the throne. Having seen that Prince Charles has decided to spend the rest of his life with Renee, his girlfriend from a poor home. He was asked to detach from the throne. Where Isabella took over. Isabella, for her part, had a handsome, tall, gentle bodyguard, Christian, who took over from her formal guard, Tony, who had gone for paternity leave and didn't return; rather, he was transferred to another section. "Don't you think he will make the best husband for me?" Isabella, sitting with her friend Emily, speaks."My princess, do you mean Xavier?" Emily asked, not knowing whom the princess was referring to."No, but my bodyguard. I am in love with him." She answered boldly.Emily could get surprised; she kept mute for a minute; her tongue seemed so heavy to roll words out from her
Grandpa Frank and the kingmakers are sitting, awaiting Isabella's presence at the palace. She finally stepped in. They all stood to welcome her. With a limit since she is yet to be crowned queen." My princess, we the elder in council, and the entire kingdom, have decided to remind you, that tomorrow mark the last day given to you to have the marrital ritual with Xavier, as well as taking over your brother, I know you will definitely love it." Lord Harrington sounded, with a smile on his face.Isabella looked around, then pointed to her father."I thought it had been cleared to everyone that I do not love Xavier. Neither do I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He is not my fit." Isabella, veils could show right around her throat. "Listen, princess, we believe it should be a rumor that you are in love with your bodyguard. You have been caught several times going beyond his duty." I believe he is not the one influencing you with this." Lord Harrington speaks. "I think I have
Atlas, having heard what they have discussed, feels happy; he was so amazed. Holding a glass of wine when Frank walked in. "I should not believe that you are behind what is happening." Frank got Atlas's attention."I do not understand you; I do not know where you are bringing this from." Atlas could respond."Isabella has made her intention known; she is strong with Christian." Frank, he aggressively replied."Really, and how does it concern me? It has no business with me." Atlas answered. "All I know is that the throne belongs to me. And soon I will have it." "She might seem brave, yet little does she know. I know it all and am very fit for the throne." Atlas responded so carefully."Just watch your step; be careful with what you are doing." Frank gave him a short warning and left."What do they take me for, a bastard?" Atlas asked himself. "One that does not know his right?" He added. "As long as the custom and the tradition exist. I, Atlas, will surely take the throne." Atlas pre
The next day, just at the breaking of the day, Grandpa hands his cloth wore after bath. Ready for the meeting. Isabella, having known her fate, has no choice but to quit from Christian, as Christian will be sent into the battlefield where he will be killed. Going with this, Isabella is fully disqualified to be crowned the queen. She has defiled herself with a mere bodyguard. "Crown me the king." Atlas stood on his feet."Never." The two kingmakers echo. "Isabella still has a choice to make. She would either step down totally or lose the throne. Knowing fully that Christian has been sent back to his master, where he would face the punishment of defiling our princess." Lord Harrington spoke. "We can't have such an arrogant man like you as our king." He added "Really, am I not better than Isabella?" I am a billionaire; time is better than a whore whom you have gathered here to know is finally a decision." "Haven't she made it clear that she is not interested in the throne?" Or will y
Christian remains under medication, while Isabella keeps trying to cope with the persuasion that comes from her people. Becoming the queen. Isabella excused herself from the palace; she sought a quiet and cold environment. While she found one, she sat on a wooden chair, having her guard standing beside her."Life has hit me at its peak, not seeing the one my heart beats for." She spoke within herself. "This shouldn't in any way be my part. A part I have to struggle with is seeking the one I love. He is the only one I can count on, the one that keeps me smiling." She breathed down, placing her hands on the wooden chair; she would watch the birds flying."I love its sounds. It reminds me of the days I spent with Christian; I wished someone would whisper in my ear with the belief that Christian is alive!" Isabella, imagining, using the birds sweet sounds. Had a tap on her shoulder."You must be lost in thought." Xavier said, and he had to sit beside her."You seem to be stubborn; you se
Emily could imagine Isabella's sudden attitude. She smiled within her."What happened if Christian is alive?" Emily asked her.Isabella was pestered. She drew her hands closer to Emily's head."Listen, Emily, I have no time to waste. It is either you do as I have demanded or leave my presence; I have no time for this." Isabella told her."I am your adviser, your childhood friend. We had grown together, getting to know each other bette"r. You feel you can run into a bad direction and watched me allow you to draw in the sea". Emily paused and continued. "No, Isabella. I would rather render my life to save you than watch you dead." "Is anyone planning mischief against me aside from Atlas? Because I know he should be the one with such a devilish heart." Isabella told her."Unfortunately, your Majesty, it is not about Atlas, but your joy." Emily answered."When do you care about my joy? If you did, you wouldn't have directed Grandpa towards the Christian room." Isabella shouted; Charles c
Isabella was finally made the queen of Aldovia, yet she felt incomplete. Isabella sat on her throne, with Emily sitting beside her. Isabella rested her head on the throne. "You felt worried, your majesty!" Emily watched her. "Am I complete?" She asked Emily."Well, as the queen who had gotten it all, I think you are complete; you have a mansion, live in a large palace, and are surrounded with guards and maids. Well known as the youngest rulers. Aside from the fact that you...." Emily paused; the last words seemed heavy in her mouth. Isabella adjusted, and with a suspicious eye, she looked at her."You have words to say; what is it exactly?" Isabella asked."You need a warrior," Emily answered with a trace of fear."Hahahahahaha!" Isabella laughed. "What are the guards doing?" "It is their duty to protect the kingdom and its ruler, even though I seem to have an upper power as well," Isabella told Emily. "I think your words would be, I need a husband!" Isabella said to her." Yes, yo
Charles opposed Christian uplifting as well."If offending you is to please Christian, I won't mind doing that." Isabella replied, Charles."You must?" Charles lifted his hands to hit Isabella's face when a guard held them."Do you know the repercussions of what you planned on doing, hitting the queen?"

Grandpa, blessing calls for ritual, which was done genuinely.Now, Isabella and Christian's wedding took place. A full rainbow light was shining everywhere, as the cloud was much brighter. Isabella dressed in her royal apparel, and Emily accompanied her with her garment filled with many colors."It is really a surprise wedding." Lord Harrington whispered into Beatrice's ears."Yes, it is." She answered and had to sip from the glass of wine.Atlas couldn't withstand the shame, nor could Xavier. They both had to leave."You were so dull in your target." Atlas paused at Xavier, irrespective of his bodyguard."You are after the throne, while I am after Isabella being my wife." Xavier replied, provoked by Atlas's nonchalant questions."You failed." Atlas mocked him."No, I don't, but you do." Xavier replied."It is obvious that Commandant Oscar didn't carry out his duty as demanded. This is a clear definition betrayed."What happened?" Atlas overheard him."It is nothing, you bloody beast.
Isabella got everyone shocked as Charles began to ask Emily."What is the outcome of your outing?" He became furious."I'm sorry, my prince, I can't give an answer to that, nor am I going to betray Isabella's trust for me." Emily answered ."Spare all that, please. Have you forgotten that I remain the prince as well?" He sounded."I am fully aware of that, but with a limit.You should understand how much I value Isabella and will always keep to my words." Emily insisted."I insist on knowing the reasons for a sudden wedding preparation." Charles drew Emily's attention outside."The palace has been decorated with a sudden invitation across the world." Charles got worried. "Please tell me if she has chosen Xavier, yet decided to keep it secret." Charles's anxiety grows higher.It was a sleepless night for everyone in the palace, as the decorations were ongoing. Isabella right there ordered her wedding gown online."This is really crazy." Renee sounded like Isabella ordered to be delivered w
A few days later, Isabella decided to work with her heart."I have begun to have this thought within me." Isabella, relating to Emily"What could that be, your majesty?" Emily asked her. ""I will like us to cross to the neighboring village; I would love to get some birds." She answered Emily had been worried."The messenger should do that for you. Isn't it the reason why you employed them?""I will love to do it myself this time." Isabella insisted."What about your proposed trip?""That will be done later." Isabella demonstrated her action when she asked her driver to get the car ready."Your majesty, it is almost late; I suggest we do this tomorrow." Emily suggested."It is never too late to get my desire." "Are you coming with me or not?""I am still in shock, wondering why you chose to get yourself birds from a neighboring kingdom." Emily shows concern."I do not repeat myself." Isabella cut her short.Meanwhile, Christian and Michael had just walked into the market, transacting
Bianca walked to Christian with a grateful heart."I appreciate your good deed." Bianca distracted Christian, who was busy amending the birth's night."As you can see, I am so busy now; I won't want to be distracted at the same time." Christian replied to her."I am not here to distract you, nor am I here to make trouble. What I see is friendship." Bianca requested."What for, after you have proven how unfaithful you can be?" Christian almost provoked her."I beg your pardon, I was jokingly right with you in your bedroom; it wasn't from me." She answered him."Really, will this be your response if I had fallen to your offer?" "No, instead you will be craving more sex." Christian yielded at her."I am not like that," Bianca replied."What do you want from me this time?" Christian's rude act grows stronger."Can I know more about the queen of Aldovia?" Bianca asked her."What about her?" What do you want to know about her?" Christian asked."Okay. Since you seem to find it difficult to
Emily, panicking, wouldn't want to be attacked."It is not as quick as you think. The guard will be leaving with us at the same time." Isabella assured Emily that."Your majesty, I will suggest everyone be cautious, as well as the palace maids." Emily proposed this to the princess."Why do you say so?" Isabella asked her."Your worst nightmare asked me out today," Emily replied."Do you mean Xavier?" "You should be happy he found you worthy; maybe he is in love with you or might want to use you for fun as usual." "No, it was Atlas!" Emily answered."Atlas?" Isabella asked in surprise."Yes, Atlas asked me out. I declined it as well." Emily told her."That sounds nice. This is a proof of a friend." Isabella nodded her head. "He is so desperate to have the throne. Very much desperate, I promise him this. He will forever regret making an attempt, talk more of standing in my way." Isabella reacted aggressively. Grandpa, hearing Isabella speak. Shook his head, silently behind the door."
Emily left for shopping, and while she was shopping, Atlas walked in. It seems he had monitored her."What's up, beautiful lady?" Atlas smiled; he stood firm."What are you doing here?" This is not a male boutique; I guess you have come to shop for your girlfriend"! Emily, make fun of Atlas's behavior."Since you have refused to honor my invitation, I had to come here myself." It surprised you, I guess. Don't worry, it was a friendly outing I wanted at first!" Atlas touched Emily on her shoulder."As you can see, young man, I am shopping at that moment." Emily replied to him. "Moreover, you are the list I am expecting here. I do not know how you got to find me." She added."I will wait for you!" Atlas assured her."I'm sorry, I might not have your time." Replied Emily. Atlas insisted."Alright, I will meet you there at your car park." She answered him."Yes!" Atlas walked down after paying for whatever Emily picked ."Mr. Atlas has paid for what you picked ," the cashier told Emily.
Atlas had stared at Emily all through, he thought within him. Emily will be a good target against Isabella. This made Atlas indirectly plead with Emily for an outing, using her official Gmail."The selfish and desperate man seeks an outing with me." She said after she had read the mail. Emily sat with Renee, catching fun with her."You need to be careful with him; he might not mean good for you, not even for once!" Renee warned her."I am not a fool, nor am I blind to understand the handwriting on the wall. I am going nowhere." She answered, Renee."That makes it better, and speak right of you. I think Isabella made the right choice making you her adviser." Renee praised Emily's sincerity."What do you think about my husband, the queen's brother?" Did he make the wrong choice forfeiting his throne for me"? Renee is putting words into Emily's mouth.Emily, so how dangerous and complicating the question is. "Speaking of the throne, I think Charles made his choice; he does not want to l
Anthony, sipping his glass of wine and nodding his head as well."Won't you drink?" Anthony asked Sherman."I think you are the one that needs it most." Sherman answered, just looking and laughing as well."We are friends," Anthony asked him."Yes, we are!" He answered.Sherman, applying a trickish method, dropped his glass.He returned home; this time he was very happy."You looked so happy today; you must have won a contract." Lucas, his father, who just returned from a program, asked him."I do not know what the reason is; all I know is that I am happy!" Sherman stretched his hands."Hahahahah!" Lucas and his son laughed."Like seriously, how is everything? I believe you are fine." Norah walked closer, standing so amazing."You look so much more amazing today," Norah said, still wondering what had made Sherman happy. "I bought her a flower," Sherman, just to outsmart everyone, replied."Have you checked on your brother ?" Lucas asked him, even when he knows how deadly Sherman hate
