“His highness is going to marry Rita?" He asked surprised. Tiana guess he didn't know about that."Yes. The king wants him to marry his sister in exchange for help.""Oh…but how can I help you?" he asked. Tiana wasn't sure how either but she wanted to stop this."Your highness I just want to tell you that if you stop this we could all die.""I know" Tiana said quickly. "I want to stop this without us dying, that's why I need your help." She hoped he could come up with something."There is only one way to stop this. It is to change Rita’s mind about the marriage."Tiana knew that was the safest way but she knew it wouldn't be easy because Rita would do anything to get Nicklaus."How can we change her mind?""That...we will have to think about." He said thoughtful."What about other allies? Is there someone else who can help his highness?" Tiana asked."No. You know prince Nicklaus has a reputation." He said. I knew what he meant.Speaking of reputation, Tiana still had to figure out wh

“I... I was a bad wife, a useless one. Yes, I never gave anything to Nicklaus and there was nothing I could give him now either, on top of that because of my selfishness I could cause his death.Rita was right, I didn't even offer him my body and got angry when he went to someone else. I was indeed selfish. I didn't have the right to be angry when he never got angry with me for not sleeping with him. The only thing I have done so far is being scared or jealous.” Tiana lamented to herself. What Rita told her hurt her to the core.What really have she done for him? What great have she done so that she could tell him not to marry someone else because she was good enough? She couldn't say that because she wasn't. her kingdom could not even help her husband."My lady? Are you alright? You look very pale." The maid who was brushing her hair asked."I am alright." Tiana said."Should I bring dinner? Maybe you are hungry.""No, I am fine. I'll go to sleep."Tiana was running in the middle of

Death doesn't knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without permission takes what it came for.Tiana quickly placed herself in front of Nicklaus as if she could protect him from what was about to happen, but to her surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Nicklaus’ men almost threw themselves in front of their feet."Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our families as hostages." One of them said. Tiana looked worriedly at Nicklaus but he was calm as usual."Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families." another one pleaded. Dalton came into the room looking furious."What are you doing?" He yelled at the men. "Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you care to live.""It's fine Dalton." Nicklaus said calmly. "You may leave to save your families," he told the men.Tiana looked surprised at Nicklaus. He was about to let half of

Nicklaus had been gone for five days now and Reilla and Tiana got pretty close. Reilla was a very honest person, never scared to say her opinions and Tiana felt some kind of connection with her.It was as if Reilla could understand Tiana and what she was going through. Strange, because she was sure that she couldn't have gone through what she did, although she might have gone through worse.As days went by Tiana really admired her more and more. She was a beauty with brains, very smart with her words and very graceful with everything else she did. But Tiana was still doubtful and didn't trust her entirely. Not that she did something suspicious, she just wanted to be careful.Thanks to Reilla the days didn't seem awfully long anymore, the two would chat and laugh and unlike many maids, she had a genuine laugh, not a forced one. You could see that Reilla laughed because she wanted to and not because she was scared to offend Tiana.Tiana’s thought slowly drifted to Nicklaus. Even though

Tiana stiffened, she didn’t know why, she knew he would kill his brothers’ sooner or later so why was she surprised? Now she understood why he was in such a bad mood last night. He must have been feeling terrible."Are you alright?" Tiana asked standing up which brought them even closer to each other."Yes, Tiana. I am perfectly fine. I don't even regret it; it is a part of me to kill. Do you know how many people these hands have killed with ease?" He asked holding up his hands." I don't even need weapons to kill. I have killed far more people with my bare hands then a sword."Why was he doing this? Why was he trying to intimidate her?"Why are you trying to scare me?""I am not." He said grabbing her arms and pulling her closer gently. "I don't want you to be scared. I just want you to be careful.""Of what?"His eyes bored into hers. "Of me. If you ever feel that I am acting different or aggressive then just go far away from me, Tiana."Far away? No, she wouldn't. In fact, she wou
