Emily's POV

He came back in a few minutes. I was still curled on the edge of the bed, my back pressed to the headboard, eyes puffy from crying. I wiped my tears quickly, but it was too late — he had already seen me.

He came closer and gently held both my hands, sitting at the edge of the bed, his brows creased with concern.

"So you’re still crying because of a minor thing?" he said softly, almost teasingly but with care. “Well… there’s nothing between me and Anna. She’s just a friend.”

He paused, as though searching for the right words.

“I was only telling her that I’m engaged now, and she asked who it was. I told her it’s you, Emily. That’s when she started regretting how she treated you. She said she never thought I’d fall for you. She didn’t know I’d want to marry you. She even apologized… said she was sorry.”

He gave a small laugh, shaking his head. “She didn’t see it coming. Honestly, neither did I.”

    Chapter: The Rise of OmahieOne month had passed since the royal wedding.Emily and Damien were crowned together in a breathtaking twilight ceremony held at the summit of the Whispering Hills, where the magic of the ancients still clung to the earth. Their new kingdom would not rise from soil soaked in war, but from love, unity, and vision.Emily wore the Diamond Crown, a relic passed down from a forgotten line of queens, re-forged with her own bloodstone at its center. Damien held the Magical Staff of the Moonsworn, carved from celestial ashwood and glowing with old power.Together, they founded The Kingdom of Omahie — a realm born not of conquest, but of healing.Their people were many: freed slaves, war orphans, wandering scholars, exiled mages, and rebels seeking a place to belong. And when Queen Emily stood on the balcony of their sky-carved palace to speak her first decree, the world stopped to listen.“From this day forward,” she declared, her voice amplified by the Staff's anc

    He brushed his fingers along her jawline, his touch soft but possessive. “I’m seeing fear in your eyes,” he murmured, his voice deep and low. “Don’t worry, my love. I’ll be gentle. I know… this is your first time.”There was a tense pause — until Emily suddenly snorted.They both burst into laughter, the heaviness in the room lifting like mist at dawn.Damien leaned in again, this time with fire behind his smile. “You always surprise me,” he said, and before she could answer, he crushed his lips against hers.Their mouths moved in sync — hungry, urgent. His hands slid along her sides, feeling the soft rise and fall of her breath beneath the silk of her gown. She clutched his tunic, pulling him closer, closer still, until there was nothing but heat and heartbeat between them.She moaned softly against his lips as he deepened the kiss, lowering her slowly onto the bed, his body hovering above hers—The door creaked.They froze.Damien jerked upright, face flushing as he scrambled to sit

    Mr. Smith stood quietly in the throne room, his eyes lowered in shame, his voice trembling as he began to speak. The weight of the truth sat heavy on his shoulders, and the presence of the Queen, King, and Wilson only made it harder to confess.“We are sorry, Your Highness,” he said, his voice strained. “It was Wilson who offered us money to steal Princess Emily. Since the day our son was killed… for stealing…we’ve been grieving. Wilson came to us during our weakest moment. He told us that if we took the child and raised her as ours, we would be given wealth, protection, a new life. We were desperate. We thought we were doing the right thing.”The Queen let out a breath she didn’t know she had been holding. Her hand slowly rose to her chest, fingers trembling, heart aching with the sting of betrayal. Her eyes shimmered with restrained tears as she looked at Wilson. The boy she once cradled in her arms. The prince she had raised. Now the cause of so much pain.Wilson sat nearby, listen

    *******At blacktail kingdomThe grand halls of the Blacktail Kingdom's palace stood silent, their usual bustle subdued by the weight of recent events. The Queen, her face etched with concern, paced the length of the royal chamber. The flickering torchlight cast elongated shadows, mirroring the turmoil within her heart."Bring Rosalyn to me," she commanded, her voice firm yet tinged with apprehension.Moments later, the heavy doors creaked open, and Rosalyn was escorted in by two guards. Her eyes darted nervously, and her hands trembled as she curtsied before the Queen."Your Majesty," she whispered, barely audible.The Queen fixed her with a penetrating gaze. "Tell me the truth, Rosalyn. Who instructed you to poison the King's food? Do not lie to me, for I know Prince Damien would never commit such treachery.
