Ira's PovThe uniform is a bit too large. But it doesn't matter. I only need it to escape. Hopefully Lior is waiting for me outside the gates and Linda won't betray us again. It's almost midnight and most of the palace residents are asleep. There are barely any guards within this building at night, except those that will be guarding the basement door of course. I have the perfect plan to get past them as I saved most of the food that Linda brought to me as super. I will pretend to be a servant delivering food to one of the prisoners under the request of the kings. No guards would dare the orders of the angel kings.I pull the yellow dress off my body only for my ears to catch sounds of footsteps getting closer to the door. I manage to hide the servant's uniform under the bedcovers before the door opens. My heart nearly stops at the sight of King Tiras striding into the room in night robes completely open at the front. Holy bright heavens! How could a person look so enticingly beaut
Ira's PovThe Angel Kings were disappointed that I didn't believe their pathetic lie. They didn't punish their queen for trying to get me executed even when they knew that she had lied, how can I believe that they will attack King Ademon's kingdom for me? King Ademon tricked them into giving him massive wealth in exchange for an ugly, powerless Princess. They must be dying for revenge. But did they deserve someone better?I am sure that King Ademon would regret sending his daughter here if he were to see her in that cell now. Not to mention that the tribute he received wasn't worth his daughter's humiliating death tomorrow. Letting him live with the pain is a worse punishment than burning his kingdom and killing him as well."He's alive," I hear Linda's voice say from behind and turn. I was too depressed by the news of my father's death that I forgot to lock the door to secure more hours of my solitary mourning. Now Linda stands a step inside the room with a tray heaped with rich foo
Ira's PovI was expecting to wake beside my father in the world of the dead, but I am lying on a doctor's bed, surrounded by the four people I hate the most. Just the sight of them makes me wish I had died. "See, it was just a brief insensitivity caused by shock, your majesties. She is totally fine," Linda announces like that isn't obvious. King Ronen reaches out a hand to feel my forehead and I furiously slap it away. I have nothing left to lose, so they can go ahead and kill me. Finding my father was the only goal I had and now he is gone. There is nothing left to protect."You may think that you have lost everything but we are here. We will love you just as much as your father did," King Ronen comforts in his charming voice. I bet that their only regret is that they can no longer have my father's blood too. When will they realise that I am not stupid?King Tiras steps closer and stares down at me. "We can also give you revenge against those that killed your father," his hands gr
Ira's PovI walk into the tiny servant room to find two servants ripping open the gift boxes from the angel kings and stuffing the precious contents into their pockets. "Why would they give her all this after they rejected her? She will never be fit to be queen and they said so themselves in front of a multitude of guests. A human commoner isn't fit to be their servant even," one says in a bitter tone."Yes, it's confusing why they act like they care about her since their queen failed to control the dragons. Could it be a magic spell that she is using? The angel kings would not have killed Zilla executed if they were in there right minds," the other replies in a worried voice. "That might be the case. We must speak to the priest and hear what he says," the third suggests and they all nod in agreement. Guess I am their enemy no matter what. The idiots think I would waste a magic spell on their wicked kings. If I knew any magic I would make myself invisible and get out of here. Why i
Ira's PovAngel Tiras returns to his seat. I take in deep breaths to calm my nerves because my whole body is shaking. They kill with so much ease. Like we are flies to them. I understand that Zilla was a bad person, but so are they."We had nice chambers prepared for you. You're however free to choose on your own where you would like to stay. Everything can be transferred there," he says. I had made a decision to refrain from conversing with them. But the opportunity to return to the servant chambers where I first heard about the secret entrance will pass me if I do not speak."I will return to my former room in the servant quarters," I say."They all frown as though they didn't just give me the freedom to choose. "We were talking about proper chambers, dear. You can take a look at the available guest chambers before making a decision." Angel Adon urges."Our mother's spacious chambers are right next to mine. We can have them redesigned for," Angel Ronen offers.Their dead mother w
Ira's Pov I step out of the massive bath tub and wrap a towel around my shivering body. The water was cold and I wish I didn't have to bathe. I was brought to this opulent chambers that I suspect belonged to queen Andria and I am beyond disgusted. The massive bed smells of her perfumes and the closet is full of her exquisite dresses. I slept on a chair near the fireplace just to avoid the breathing in her odour. I may be the unwanted, ugly commoner here but I find evil more repulsive. However the world seems to disagree so far.I wonder where they are keeping her as she waits for them to drain my blood. Now that Lior seemed to have given up on helping me I am most desperate to find my own way out of this beautiful hell. The servants are yet to speak about the secret entrance again in my presence. They still look down on me so I am confident that they will keep talking about their secrets without minding my presence. I walk back to the bedroom where the two servants wait and slip my
