Chapter 25 - The Sickness of the Almighty
Lianne wasn’t comfortable staying in her new room.
Half an hour after Prince Ruen left, she hastily went back to her own servant quarter only to her disappointment.
She had found that it was already occupied by three male servants of the palace.
It would seem that Garlow had made it sure she will not be able to go back to her old room, and because of it, she didn’t have any choice but to stay at the new chamber that night. Surely, on the morrow, she will be able to persuade Erza or the other servants to let them share their own rooms for her.
Her first night inside the chamber however wasn’t as bad as she had thought to be, but it was a definite change of her comfort.
The gown she had worn at the ball was hung at a nearby sofa chair. Truly, it was a beautiful dress. If not only for the man who gave it, she would have wanted to keep such a masterpiece. Now, she w

“Princess Lianne!”Erza exclaimed as she placed a hand on the princess’ shoulder.It was already late afternoon when she and the princess headed back to the mansion from the greenhouse. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was about to rain.“Erza? Why are you looking so anxious?” Lianne replied, perplexed by the maid’s unusual behavior.“Uhm, princess, the Duke of Olga is here,” she voiced out as she stared with worry directly to the exit of the east garden’s rose bush.“What?” Lianne quickly exclaimed.Her senses began to numb as she saw the old man standing right at the exit of the garden a few meters away from them.She wanted to avoid him stat, but the fact that the Duke had already blocked the exit made it difficult.She hastily looked for oth
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 27 - Come Back With Me
The earth was moist and foggy after a heavy rain that afternoon. Amidst hearing the servants’ precaution regarding the traps laid out by the King around the mansion, Princess Lianne didn’t give it much weight as she was too determined to escape.She knew that as long as she was inside the mansion, though she vehemently refused to be controlled all these years, she would never receive her rightful freedom. To flee was the only option.The track was downhill and rocky. The loosened soil in addition was threatening her pace of escape. There were large trees everywhere in sight and the moon’s radiance could only touch half of the forest floor.‘Traps could be anywhere!’ she thought to herself, but the fear of it was naught compared to the terror she might face if she will be married to the old duke.Due to the haste of her flight out of the mansion, the only possession she h
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 28 - A Feverish State
After Lianne expressed her feelings, she walked away, wanting to be as far away from the prince as possible, but with only just a few steps, the unthinkable happened.Ruen stretched his arms and speedily pushed her out of path.She hit the ground with a heavy crash, lying flat on the moist soil with her face almost kissing the ground.Though astonished as to his actions, Lianne quickly jumped to her feet and hissed in anger. She turned to face the prince, ready to start a battle of words. He must have been crazy to push her like that, but even so, he certainly deserved a good bashing from her.It was only a split of a second before she could react, however. When she realized what had happened, it was already too late.Ruen plummeted down from her very front as she stood shocked.His left hand looked numb and unusually flexed, while his other hand clutched a l

The prince woke up early morning on the fourth day with the defervescence of his fever.Present in the room was Sir Culdran, his doctor, and his assistant, Lady Faye, and two other maidservants taking out the used linens from his room.The exhausted doctor immediately approached the prince and checked on his status, then Lady Faye followed, bearing a welcoming smile upon seeing the prince awake at last.“Your Highness, good morning,” Lady Faye greeted softly. She bowed her head and waited for His Highness’ answer.“Lady Faye...good to see you,” Ruen replied, voice weak but with depth, “you look so tired.”Lady Faye smiled in response as he stated the obvious.“Your Highness, I am truly relieved that you are healing well with your injury. It has been days when you were unconscious.”&ld
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 30 - The Almighty King's Death
It took a lot of strength to restrain herself from slapping Ruen’s face when Lianne was able to escape his hold.Though it would have been her only meager revenge, to her confusion, she couldn’t bear to slap him the second time after what he did to her in the library for stealing her very first kiss.Lianne gave him a sharp glare as she stood at the bedside wiping her moistened lips to dry what was left of his ardor. Though she hated it, she couldn’t deny the mounting heat within her caused by his kisses.Her face turned in a deep shade of red and Ruen could clearly see it.“I was wrong to even let my guard down. Even though you’re injured, you still play your games quite well,” she spat the words out.Ruen gave no expression of remorse, instead, he reached for the glass flute that she left behind in the pillows and handed it back to her.
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 31 - A Kiss of Longing
The kingdom accordingly was surrounded by sorrow; of course, with respect to the late king. He was after all the King of Regaleria.Despite the fact that the man was a power-hungry, greedy, abhorred human, it was his due right to be given credit for the progress and fame Regaleria had acquired.Princess Lianne was in her balcony, sitting and staring at the scenery she had been accustomed to since she was relocated to the new chamber. The area was shaded by the length of the mansion’s roof as it was almost sunset, something that the princess was pleased about.An hour ago, a maidservant gave her her afternoon tea. It seemed that the Head Servant was busy in the preparations for the next day’s dawn procession and burial of the late king at the Royal King’s Grave that she herself wasn’t in attendance of the princess.When the servant entered the princess’ room, Lianne notic
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 32 - Free As a Bird
It was early in the morning when she woke up upon hearing the whinnying of the horses stationed in the front of the mansion.It was almost sunrise she thought when she saw the fiery sun slowly climbing up the wall of mountains on the east side of the mansion. She put on her white robe and then walked outside her balcony. She had already anticipated then what she was about to see.There were millions of people gathered outside the fortified entrance gate of Regaleria. Few selected dignitaries were at the tail of an enormous glass block adorned with gold, silver, and high-priced stones.There was a chimera sitting at the facade of the block and surrounding it were blood roses and ferns. Of course, inside the glass block was the dead body of the King wearing another viciously adorned velvet robe.So typical of Garlow, she thought and then moved on to survey the people standing behind the glass block.
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 33 - The Picture Frame
The semi-concrete roads of the town were almost void of residents.Lianne and Lenora passed from one store to another only to find that the stores were either closed for the day or the vendors were with the procession.The town looked like it had gotten through the battery of time.Some of the structures had cracks on the edges, some had their paint fading, and others covered by moss. When they reached the plaza of the town, Lianne saw a statue of the late king build in the center of the fountain. She cringed at the sight of it.“This statue would become memorabilia soon enough, but never will this be brought down. His son wouldn’t allow it,” the princess whispered low whilst staring at the statue forty meters high.The plaza constituted of a natural wide lake. It was surrounded by mainly red oak trees and pines that grow to high lengths.Th
