Chapter 8 - The Agreement's Kiss
“Here, be careful.”
Cain carefully guided the princess back on land after they arrived at the Soulisse Mansion.
Noting that she was wearing a gown, she could not ride on a riding position with her legs parted. Due to that reason also that she was able to feel the totality of the man behind her while their ride progressed. Even though she had treated Lord Cain as an older brother, he was still a man, and one damn handsome one for that matter.
“Thank you,” she politely replied and went on to gaze at the newness of her surroundings.
Cain handed the reins of his horse to the stable caretaker and then proceeded to welcome the awestruck princess inside the Soulisse Mansion’s foyer.
“It’s your first time coming here, so I’d like to give you a warm welcome in our mansion,” Cain expressed confidently.

The new general had instantaneously made a mark and earned the respects of the soldiers that once were his father’s troops and without a doubt, Cain became a favorite general of the Regaleria Kingdom owing to his looks, skills, and the fact that he was younger than the other generals of King Garlow.Quickly, he became the front liner of the regiment and the head of battle strategies and command. No one would dare object such a decision though, for the other generals themselves admitted that Cain truly was one skillful warrior in battle. He ultimately became the major general of the group in just a span of eight months.Being this much popular had busied him every day but what somehow kept his time more was the one command Garlow had specifically assigned for him to do and it was the re-excavation of the cave in the City of Olga; the very cave his father died in. If it wasn’t because of this particular order, he would have been in
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 10 - Intoxicated Attempt
It was ten minutes past six in the evening when Lady Faye fetched the princess in her room. When the door opened, the Head Servants’ eyes twinkled, thoroughly pleased with the youth and beauty that the princess possessed.She was wearing a light pink satin gown, perfectly draped in layers starting from her waist down to the legs with a trail that was only a meter long. Lady Faye anticipated the princess to dance during the ball, so she opted to pick the very gown that would suit the occasion.And suit her it did.It was an off-shoulder gown, with the edges meticulously embroidered with gold roses and silver fiddleback ferns. There was a slit above-the-knee high in the left part of the gown that boasted Lianne’s ivory smooth legs.The only accessory that added her beauty was a pair of small chandelier diamond earrings and the beaded bracelet she had for her birthday. Her hair was done into

“Where are we going, my Lord?”Lianne asked as she was led by Cain onto the hallway that interconnected the ballroom.He was holding her hands firmly so she couldn’t go back to the party where Lady Faye was. It seemed that he was successful in keeping the princess on this part of the mansion without Lady Faye knowing, and he was damned going to do the best out of this advantage.“I have something to show you, Lianne,” Cain plainly replied as he glanced briefly at the princess observing the calmness that she was showing. “I’m sure you would definitely be excited.”“But Lady Faye, she’s-”“Shhhh...” Cain cut off. “Let her have fun at the party, Princess. Being a head governess is surely not an easy task.”Lianne only stared at Cain’s back as they continued to find th
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 12 - Behold He Who Returns
Their ride back to the Regaleria mansion was a silent one.Lady Faye had already suspicions of what had occurred during Cain’s time with the princess and it surely was unacceptable.Though the two oil lamps had produced a low light, Lady Faye could see the worry in Lianne’s eyes. She had been looking at the darkness of the road outside the small stained window since they left Soulisse, looking obviously distressed.Her hands were clasped together resting on her lap, but Lady Faye could clearly see it trembling. She was greatly concerned about her.She remembered the princess’s hair neatly tied to the back before they left the Regaleria mansion. Now, it was a bit tousled to the sides, making her curls covering partially her neck - the neck that no doubt housed the kiss mark Cain had created.She waited for a few minutes hoping that Lianne would initiate a talk, b
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 13 - A Silent Torment
Lianne’s body dropped hard on her mattress after she had managed to undress out of the gown she had worn at the party.She was wearing her chemise now with no brassiere. The thick cotton sheet provided her with a decent amount of warmth as the cold breeze of the night began to tickle her skin.There were so many emotions that played on her mind. This night had proved to be too inauspicious indeed.She had wondered how would she be able to face Lord Cain after such an incident, and to make matters worse, the prince has now returned. She was sure as hell that he didn’t believe her alibi. But it was only a matter of time though, because tomorrow, Lady Faye would tell him everything about the party. Hopefully, she wouldn’t divulge the particular event that left the princess frantically lying all about.Lianne knew that tomorrow and the days afterward would never be the same again. If on

The following two days ensued as if nothing happened.Lianne had her same routine every day helping Lady Faye of the kitchen chores, gardening, reading, and avoiding the prince as much as she could. She heard from the other servants that he was always staying in the library and that annoyed her.By the third day, early morning, Erza was frantically running down the hallway to everyone’s confusion. Apparently, she was looking for the princess and there she saw her washing a saddle in a large trough just beside the entrance of the royal stable.“Princess...” she stopped as she gasped for air after a good run. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”Lianne turned to the servant with a questioning look on her face. “Why are looking for me?” she asked in a calm manner dropping the sponge she was holding and began to walk towards the exhausted maid.&n

“You?!” Lianne’s eyes rounded at the sight of the man.On reflex, she moved, pressing herself against the carriage window as much as she could as if he had some kind of communicable disease.“Yes, me,” was the crown prince’s cool reply. He continued to settle himself inside the carriage, claiming a seat in front of Lianne and acting disinterested in her obvious show of frustration. He was handsomely dressed wearing a black one-button tuxedo suit, his hair brushed up to the back, and his boots scrubbed into perfection. Clearly, he looked like someone who had planned to attend a ball for years.Their knees almost touched and with this, she immediately felt the interior of the carriage too small for two people.Ruen sat proudly with his arms crossed waiting for the princess’ expected hostile reaction.“I can’t believe this,&rdquo
HER MAJESTY'S LIFE Chapter 16 - The Two Men's Flames
The party went on gaily and like any other gathering, men from every table were beginning to feel the kick of the wine, while the women were forming sociable groups of their own according to age.The dance floor was filled as the musicians played their harmonious tune of various kinds of music, be it a tender waltz or a quick foxtrot. It seemed as though the highlight of the party’s royal presence wore down as time progressed, but even so, a number of reputable bachelors of the kingdom asked the princess for a dance one after another to which she dutifully accepted for one sole reason only, and it was to be away from the prince who was sitting beside her in the royal table reserved by Duke Perdunn with the other royal councilors.The prince did however had a share of his own admirers. Although these pureblood maidens giggled and flirted on his sight, the prince only proved to them that the rumors of his insensitive nature were true. Ei
