It was a painting.
Not just any painting, the person in the painting was me. Pale skin, wavy chestnut brown hair that reached the waist and dark green eyes. The princess is an exact copy of me, wait that's the opposite, I'm the exact copy of the princess.
Okay now, I'm officially screwed. How did I get into this mess? This all doesn't seem like a coincidence at all. My head was spinning cause too many unusual events had happened in the last 24 hours. At the bottom of the canvas something was written. It was a name written in neat writing.
Sebastian Miller
Who is this guy? My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I quickly put everything back in place.
"Your Highness, I've brought food for you as per the Queen's orders"
"Please come in" I replied.
A woman, dressed in maid clothes entered and curtsied before placing the tray of food on the table, curtsied again and left. That might be hard to get used to. I did eat the food brought in because I needed every bit of energy to get out of here.
Time passed, I don't know for how long I was sitting near the window processing all these stuff which was happening, I heard a knock again. I didn't bother to reply.
"My Princess, I came here to assist you in getting ready for dinner. It's the Queen's orders, so please let me in" said a cheerful voice.
"Come in" I replied
She was a maid too but, she was much younger, probably around my age. She smiled at me and curtsied.
"I'm glad you came back, your Highness. We
Jane hesitated. I could see it in her eyes that she was internally battling whether to agree to me or not. "Jane, please" I begged "I don't know but, I feel that I can trust you. I give you my word that our conversation would be within the walls of this room" She sighed and said "As you wish, your Highness" "Who is Sebastian Miller?" I questioned. I honestly don't know why I wanted to know about this guy. But I need information on the princess so this question might be a good start. "He was the best warrior of the Kingdom, and your bodyguard. You both were in love with each other" she said and looked at my face for any change in emotions, but there was none. "What happened next?" "When the King and the Queen found out about this, they were outraged. The King announced your wedding with King Jacob of Narveria. The following night you packed and left the Kingdom with Sebastian"
jewels along with the white diamond?” “Still, not enough” King Nicholas said without any emotion. I was pissed. How much more does this asshole need? Without thinking I got up and said “King Nicholas! If you think that giving up our wealth and land for the sake of our protecting our people is not enough, you don’t deserve to be a King” Everyone in the room gasped. King Nicholas looked shocked and furious. He was glaring at me. I knew I shouldn’t have done that, but I couldn’t help it. I hated bullies, and King Nicholas was no less than a big bad bully. The King immediately said “Please forgive the princess for her improper remarks, your Greatness. I’m sure she didn’t mean any of it” “I regret to say that the princess has lost her memory due to unknown reasons. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about” the Queen continued sympathetically. I simply sat ba
I went inside the closet and changed into my nightgown. When I came outside I found King Nicholas standing right outside the door which made me shriek in surprise. Before I could say anything he spoke with an angry tone “You were avoiding me. Why?” “No I wasn’t! But first tell me how did you get inside? I clearly told the guards to not let anyone in” “Did you really think a few puny guards could stop me?” he lowly chucked, “Now tell me why were you avoiding me?” he said moving closer towards me his silver eyes darkening at every passing moment. “I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with you hurting me whenever you see me” I replied cheekily, pointing to the bruise on my arm and his faint handprints around my neck. His eyes swirled with different emotions as he looked at them. “I never intended on hurting you, but you always provoke me to do so” he spoke clenchin
Blood rushed to my cheeks and my heart pounded loudly in my chest. I couldn’t form words as I stared in his dark silver eyes, which was pulling me in just like a magnet and I kind of liked it. Wait! Why am I liking this? I hate him, and I can’t bear to be close to him, but right now I have conflicting feelings. No, no, no! This cannot happen. “Stop, get away from me. I don’t want this” I cried trying to push him away. He grinned and said “I know you want me to do much more than this, don’t hide it princess” My face was red as a tomato at this point. He paused for a moment before continuing “I’m the Devil! I always get what I want and right now I want to kiss you against this wall and you are going to comply” he said in a deep husky voice, more like ordered. Okay, that’s it! He may always get what he wants, but not today Satan. If he thinks he can order me a
"I have decided that Princess Isabella Rosette Campbell of Elysian will be bound in a wedlock with me, King Nicholas the third of Arcane, two full moons henceforth from this day" he announced and smirked.Yesterday was a full moon day. That means I have two months. Freaking two months!I need to get out of here before the wedding day. Damn it! I don't have much time. I need to work more, cause building back the whole machine right from the scratch isn't a joke. Thank heavens, I have most of the equipment. Also, I need the find out the exact coordinates which would take me back home.The night had almost come to an end. All the guests were departing. King Nicholas stood there watching me with an unreadable expression on his face. Half of the time, I don't know what goes on in his head. That arrogant bastard was smirking at me. Ugh! I hate him, like a lot. When I build back the wormhole machine, I swear I'll transport him to Antarctica. I
They were eight in number and all of them were armed with weapons.I was scared as hell but stopped myself from panicking. I will not give them satisfaction by showing any fear, instead I stood alert and waited for them to make a move.One of them slowly approached me.“Well, well, well! What do we have here?” he spoke in an unpleasant voice.“The princess of Elysian, a sight for sore eyes” another one said licking his lips.I felt disgusted and took a step backwards.“I didn’t know she was such a beauty! Why don’t have some fun before killing her” another one said grabbing my hair from behind. My reflexes kicked in, so I quickly elbowed him and he stumbled backwards and fell on the ground.He hissed in pain and looked at me with blood shot eyes.Crap! I’m dead for sure!“You bitch! You got some nerve ha? I am going to kill you” he yelled and charged towards me holding his weapon high.
"Carter, put me down! Now!” I said pointing towards Nicholas, who was now raging with fury.He immediately put me down and had an anxious expression on his face.Nicholas marched towards us fuming with anger while I barely managed to stay on my feet. He straight away grabbed Carter’s collar and lifted him of the ground and threw him across the field.Oh my freaking god!“Stop! It’s not his fault. I asked him to carry me because I couldn’t walk” I said wearily.He growled lowly and stalked towards Carter who was now on the ground, and furiously started punching him. I limped towards him to stop him, while he kept on smashing Carter’s face. All the warriors and guards had gathered around us to witness the scene.“No! Please don’t do this!” I begged and he paid no attention to my words as he continued hitting him. Carter’s nose was now bleeding and his face was badly bruised. He was barely conscious. I fel
An involuntary sigh of annoyance slipped past my lips. He noticed it and narrowed his eyes. Oops! I should really stop throwing myself in trouble.I’m in Arcane,That thought made me shiver slightly.Nicholas was gazing intently at me waiting for a reply, but I wasn’t giving him one.I'm ignoring him, remember?So I stood there, looking in the other direction without a care in the world.He took long strides towards me and I gulped. When it comes to this guy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he strangles me out of the blue.He stopped just inches away from my face, his hot breath fanning my face.“Does your leg hurt?” he questioned in his deep voice.I shook my head, even though it did.He clenched his jaw and growled,“Words, princess”“No, it doesn’t hurt. I’m fine” I replied.He tried to lift me up, bu
It was the first time I was feeling like a real princess with a lovely dress and pretty hair.I had worn a coral coloured gown with frills flowing downwards and a sweetheart neckline on the top. I walked towards the dining room nervously but also with a hint of excitement only to find Cassandra kissing Nicholas, which was like a huge blow to the face.I guess fairy tales do no really exist. It was rather a harsh cruel reality which knocked be back into my senses. The sight in front of me was too much to bear, so I ran. I simply ran back towards my chambers without looking back. I had to get out of here, hence I ran.My vision was clouded with fresh tears but I didn’t dare blink. I couldn't let them fall, I knew that. I sprinted across the hallways like an emotional wreck until I bumped into someone and lost my balance. Before I could hit the ground the pers
An unknown anger seethed through my veins after witnessing the scene in front of me. I took a good look at the woman who had just walked in. She was quite tall, with sleek platinum blonde hair cascading down her waist and had thick eyebrows with luscious lips. She was dressed in ostentatious clothes and expensive ornaments which indicated she was royal.She flashed her eyes towards me and an expression of distaste overtook her face. Nicholas had the usual cold expression on his face and he didn’t even attempt to push her as she clinged to him like a lizard.I didn't like that, at all!“What are you doing here, Cassandra?” Nicholas asked her,“Am I not allowed to visit you, my darling Nik?” she said puckering her lips which made me cringe in disgust, “You can visit anytime, make yourself at home” he replied solemnly.I cannot believe he j
Have you ever felt like today’s your last day on this planet?As if you had committed a major sin and you would get executed for it?That was exactly how I felt at this moment, except I didn’t know what my sin was.The Devil walked towards me stealthily with a deadly expression on his face which absolutely terrified my soul. And I knew I was doomed. He stopped at an arm’s length from me. I gathered the last pieces of courage I had and asked,“What’s wrong? Why are you angry?”He let out a growl as he slammed me to the wall with such a force that the back of my head collided with the wall painfully. He took both of my wrists and held it behind me which made me wince in pain. His long fingers enveloped my throat gripping it firmly, while his other hand was enough to secure my wrists in place.“You have the nerve to ask me what is wrong? Why don’t you ask your lover boy Sebastian?” he yelled angr
He settled down on the soft grass, resting his back against the tree. I walked towards him slowly and hesitantly. He kept his eyes on me all the time, observing my every movement. His eyes didn't flicker for a second, as he gazed at me without any expression."So...now what?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence.He held my wrist and in a swift motion pulled me towards him, so that I was now sitting on his lap. I panicked and wriggled, trying to get up, but he gripped my hips with both of his hands, preventing me from moving."Don't move, or I won't be responsible for what I might do next" he said seriously, his eyes darkening every passing second.I stayed still. But on the inside I was nervous and excited. Various reactions were exploding inside my body from being in close proximity with him. I could not look into his eyes and meet his intense gaze, so I looked down at my hands. I'm sure my
My heart was pounding and my breathing turned erratic. He nuzzled my neck and inhaled deeply. He kissed the crook of my neck, which sent a shiver down my spine. I tried pushing him away, but he didn’t even budge as usual. He glared at me with his dark silver eyes as a warning and continued trailing kisses on my neck up till my jaw. It felt really good and I hated myself for that.“N-Nicholas, please…please stop” I breathed out, coming back to my senses. Instead he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, crushing me against his rock hard chest. I fisted my hands and started hitting against his chest, in an attempt to free myself, but he tightened his grip and his hands started exploring my back, slowly making their way downwards.I dug my nails into his back and clawed really hard enough, so that it bled. He paused and looked at me, loosening his grip on my waist. He had
((NICHOLAS POV))I slammed my fist against the wall!Anger and frustration surged through my veins. I wanted to snap that guard's neck for interrupting us, but stopped myself.There were more important matters that needed to be addressed at the moment.Those bloody Vultures!But, all I could think of was her angelic face, her enchanting emerald eyes and those tempting rosy lips. I had to refrain myself from going back and claiming those delicious lips. Another wave of anger surged through me as a result of getting separated from her. I'll make sure each and every one of them Vultures are dead.Earlier, I had lost control, when she tried to harm herself, and I lashed out my anger on her.I cannot stand her getting hurt, then why do I always hurt her?She wanted to escape me. Little did she know, she's mine to keep and no one can escape from the Devil. She hated me
