The queen held on to her cheek that was starting to get red and swollen. She looked at her husband, wide eyed in disbelief. "You have done many things against my loved ones for far too long. I have tolerated you in the past. But it ends now." The king looked at his wife with contempt.They have been married for many years now. Their relationship has always been cordial, mutual respect for one another. The king had turned a blind eye to all the wickedness the queen meted out to Isabella. But taking his daughter’s life was far out of line. "How dare you?" The queen hissed in anger. "I have tolerated your bullying Isabella since the beginning. I thought you will at least let her live, if I don’t give her importance. But I was so wrong." The king sighed heavily. If he knew that the queen would still target Isabella’s life, then he should have showered her with love and affection since the beginning. "Hahaha." The queen laughed wickedly.

Prince Darius bowed down in front of me. He took my right hand and kissed its back. I was stunned with his sudden gesture.But then in a second, a wind passed by me. In an instant my hand that was held by prince Darius was snatched away. I look at my side and I see Ragnar, dressed in his princely attire of black and silver. He held my hand possessively. "I think we haven’t been introduced before." Ragnar said with a cold tone, looking intently at the young man in front of me. "I am crown prince Ragnarok Pendragon of Avalon. And fiancé of the third princess of Wales, princess Isabella."It seemed like a normal introduction, but Ragnar was in effect saying ‘I am princess Isabella’s future husband, so back off.’ I giggled internally, knowing Ragnar too well.Prince Darius stood his ground, even with Ragnar emitting intimidating aura towards him. "It is nice to meet you, prince Ragnar." Prince Darius smiled brightly. He extended his hand as a gesture. "I am the crown prince of Geneva

When Philip and I reached the downtown of the capital, it was more lively.We arrive at a plaza downtown. It was a big area in a circular shape. A big fountain was found at the center. Many stalls are gathered here today.We look around many stalls and my eyes were attracted to a stall that sells pretty accessories. "You want to take a look?" Philips asked with a smiling face. "Yes, please." I replied.Phillips who was still holding my hand, guided me past a pool of people. We reach the stall that sells pretty accessories. "Welcome, dear customers." It was an old lady that was selling the items. "There are many fine crafts here in my stall. I am sure you will like them." She said. "Oh, then can I have a look?" I said.The accessories are mainly for women. But there are some for men as well, such as cufflinks and tie clips.I look at a pretty hair clip with small sapphire gems in the group of ribbons and hair clips at one side. I instantly thought of Ragnar’s blue eyes. "Oh missy,

"I would like to say thank you once again, for helping Lucille." Maria, Lucille’s mother said. "If you need anything, here is my address. I will gladly give the help I am able to give."Maria gave me a piece of paper. The address was also in downtown. "I have a store there that selles antiques and second hand stuff. My husband is the one managing it." Maria explained. "Please feel free to visit us anytime." "Yes visit us." Lucille chimed. "Let’s play again, big brother Phil." "If we have time, we will come to visit and play with you Lucille." Philips patted her hair. "Then we will be going ahead." I said with a smile.

Lucille yelled.Phillips and I walked along the streets. I looked at him our of curiosity. "I never knew you were good with kids." I said. "You know that I am the eldest of us six sibling

(Ragnar’s POV)I was in the office located at a temporary courtyard given to me for my stay here inside the palace.I was sitting behind a desk with a stock pile of papers on top. I give out a sigh of boredom. ’How I wish I am with my beautiful Isabella, doing naughty things to her.’ I thought.Then I remembered the night of our engagement party. The memory of my beautiful fiancee underneath me. Her warmth radiating all over her body. The intense kiss we shared and the intimate things we have done, was so clear on my mind.Unknowingly, a smile crept on my face while I was remembering those naughty things with my beautiful Isa."Ahem." Kyler coughed. I totally forgot that he was with me inside the room. "Your highness, it would be best to finish your work fast so that you could spend the rest of your day with princess Isabella ." Kyler said respectfully. "Why do I need to do this, even though I am outside of the kingdom? Can’t father get one of his other sons to do this paper work?"
