The Reverend Haden was in the queen’s office waiting for her arrival. He was sitting elegantly in the lounge chair sipping a cup of tea while reading one of many stacked reports on the queen’s desk. Reverend Haden was Queen Fiona’s most trusted advisor thus he was also tasked to review the reports sent to the queen. ’Bang’ The office door opened abruptly and the queen quickly went in with her ladies in waiting following behind. "Your majesty, the doctor said that Princess Isabella is doing fine now. The princess will regain consciousness maybe later in the afternoon or in the evening, so there is no need to worry." One lady in waiting reported. "I understand. You may go." Queen Fiona waved her hand and dismissed her ladies in waiting.With the queen’s signal, the ladies in waiting curtsied and exited the office. After they have closed the door, the queen let out a long sigh and slumped on her chair. She was visibly exhausted with her finger massaging her temples.Haden poured a cup
I open my eyes a little disoriented. The light in the room was a little dim but there was still some light from the sun outside. "Is it afternoon already?" I asked myself. "What happened?"I sat up from my bed but my body felt heavy and I was feeling a dull pain. Then I remember what just happened this morning. My aunt brought me where the other half of the pendant was hidden in the west wing of the palace. The room I went for sure has a magic trap that activates when my aunt is not in physical contact with a person that is inside. ’I need to have a plan and get in that room to take the pendant.’ I thought. And there was no one other than Bob that can help me about those magic traps. "Mary." I called out.Not long the door opened and Mary came inside the room. "Your highness, you are awake. Thanks the heavens." I saw Mary sigh in relief. "All of us have been worried when you came out of the room unconcsious. The doctor that checked up on you said that your body is still too weak a
Bob came back with a palace map, paper and pen in hand. I described to him the passage way the best I could and he drew it on the paper. "It looks like the hidden room is located underground, maybe somewhere in this vicinity." Bob was pointing the pen at an area of the map near the west wing. "Yes, that’s probably where it is." I nodded. "So we are planning to infiltrate the west wing." Philips said. "Didn’t you say that the place has many magic traps? And not to mention it is also heavily guarded."I understand Philips concerns. "We need to do something about the magic traps and also the guards." I said. "We need to do this as discreetly as possible." "The guards won’t be much of a problem." Bob said with a cocky smile. "You remember my right hand man, Robin? He makes the best sleeping powder there is. Those guards will be knocked out for hours."I suddenly remembered the boy with Bob when we first met in the woods. I nodded to Bob in confirmation. ’It looks like Bob’s Nine Li
"Y-You... Why are you here?" Princess Camila pointed her finger at the crown prince. "And why won’t I be here?" Darius smiled with a hint of sarcasm. "I am your soon to be husband. Can’t I visit you at least?"Camila had a bitter expression on her face. "I don’t need you to visit me." She sneered. "I didn’t even approve of this union to happen." "Oh, but you are here now traveling to my country as we speak." Darius looked at Camila with scorn. "Leave us." He said to the maid still kneeling on the ground. "Y-Yes your highness!" The maid stuttered and exited the tent in haste.The interior of the tent became silent for a moment. Camila felt dread being alone in a closed area with Darius. "Y-You... what are you planning to do?" Camila took a step back.Darius smirked, seeing Camila’s reaction. "Why? What do you think am I planning?" Darius slowly stepped forward towards Camila. Like a beast stalking its prey. "D-Don’t come near me!" Camila said with a more forceful voice.When Cami
[Isabella’s POV]My body has regained its health after a few days of rest. I am currently in my mother’s room this morning as usual, before eating breakfast. ’How is your health Isa?’ My mother asked telepathically.Now that my mother has regained her consciousness, she still has to play like a lifeless doll with little to no emotions to fool my aunt. And so our conversations are done telepathically to avoid others from hearing my mother. ’Don’t worry mother, I am perfectly fine.’ I smiled to reassure her.My mother sighed. ’If only you were in your full health when you received that blow from my sister’s gravitation magic. Your body wouldn’t have broken down like that.’My mother was worried when I wasn’t able to visit her for more than a week. I wasn’t able to move that much within that long period of time because of the impact I have gotten from my aunt’s magic trap. My body was weak from breaking my mother’s mind barriers before receiving the damage from the magic trap, which is
I was eating breakfast in the dining hall with Elsa in front of me. I can see her glancing every now and then while eating. I was curious what she was looking at and followed her gaze. What I saw made me giggle. Bob was quietly standing at the side, looking serious. Elsa’s gaze frequently landed on him.When I finished my meal, Elsa was still half way done. She was distracted with her constant glances at Bob and wasn’t able to finish quickly. "Ahem." I put down my utensils and wiped my mouth with a napkin. "If you eat that slowly, I am afraid we will be late with our meeting with Miss Monroe." I teased Elsa.Elsa was startled with my words. It was evident that her attention was only on one person. "I-I am sorry big sis." Elsa blushed in embarrassment. "I will finish eating quickly." Her reaction made me giggle. "Don’t worry Elsa, I won’t leave you behind." I teased her again.Elsa sped up her eating and was done in no time. Her embarrassed face made me want to tease her more. "You
"Sasa, I want to ask you. Would you like to come with me?" I asked while looking into her eyes. "I want to take you away with me, out of that palace." Elsa was silent surprisingly. Maybe she didn’t expect me to ask her to come with me when I escape the palace. "I would love to go with you big sis." Elsa’s eyes sparkled with life. "I am happy that someone other than big brother Darius loves me as family." Tears started to flow from Elsa’s cheeks. "Oh Sasa ." I felt touched with Elsa’s expression. I hugged her in my arms and patted her head. "I am happy to have a little sister like you." Elsa was sobbing in my arms and calmed down after a while. I took out my handkerchief and wiped her tears away. "Now, now. We don’t want your eyes to swell from crying, would we?" I was also holding my tears back. These were tears of joy. I was feeling Elsa’s happiness. "We would be arriving soon. Let’s freshen you up." I smiled at her. "Thanks big sis." Elsa giggled.’So this was the joy of havi
We girls have been talking for quite some time now. I think this is the best time to excuse myself from our girl chat and focus on the real reason I came here today. "Ms. Katherine, Sasa, I will excuse myself for a bit." I said. "I need to use the rest room." "Oh, of course your highness." Katherine replied. "You can ask the maids outside to lead you to the rest room." "Thank you very much." I said with a smile. "Are you okay going alone big sis?" Elsa said. "If you want, I can accompany you." "No need Sasa, I can manage." I declined Elsa’s offer.I stood up and exited the receiving room. Outside, Philips and Bob were standing guard with other two from the duke’s guard. "Been waiting ages." Bob whispered and was looking bored.I giggled in response. "Is the duke waiting?" I asked in a low tone. "Yes, I will lead the way." Bob said.I looked at Philip before departing. "Stay here for now. If Sasa comes out and searches for me, tell her Bob was the one to escort me to the rest ro
