After breakfast was over, I excused myself and hurried out to find Logan. I needed him to take me to where the Prince was, assuming he was not in his study.I wanted to ask for his permission to attend the tea party with lady vena and her friends. I’m aware it’s holding in the palace garden and there is no big deal but after yesterday incident, Prince made me promised to ask for his permission to go outside and I intent to do just that.“Hello Logan” I greeted softly and he titled his head to look back at me before bowing slightly.“Greetings, Miss Monet. Is there something I can do for you?”“I have been asked to attend a tea party in the garden with lady vena and her friends. Could you please take me to where Prince Otis might be? I need to ask for his permission ““must you ask for permission?”I sighed before giving a small nod.“Yes, I must and it’s okay if you don’t want to take me. I will just check for him in his study” I said simply before walking down the hallway leading to
“I heard that you and the Prince share the same bed and some other things even though you two are not even married yet” Lady Monica said to me after my tea was served.“if you ask me then I would say it’s very uncultured and cheap with absolutely no sense of moral” Lady Irene quickly added and I could see Lady vena trying to cover the nasty smile on her face with a napkin.I sighed, finally realizing the real reason for the tea invite. Seems I have been called out here for a moral lecture by Lady vena and her friends.Even though she hasn’t said a word on the matter, I can tell they were simply echoing her voice.“I’m sorry, Lady Vena but I’m starting to wonder if this is a tea party or a morality class. I mean, if you want I can quickly ask the Prince to join us, he won’t refuse me even though he is busy. I’m his fiancée after all”At the mention of the Prince, I can see both ladies going pale on the face pretty quickly.“I mean, it would have fun to have him answer all your question
“She is stable right now. Good thing she was brought here on time”I let out a deep breath at the physician explanation. Agnes is going to be okay.“Can I see her?” I asked hopefully and he shook his head.“I’m afraid not. She I still unconscious but she will be fine by morning. I suggest you go on ahead and rest”“But_”“_Thank you doctor” Prince spoke at the same time that I did before grabbing my hand and we turn to leave.“But I just want to see her”“You can see her when she is awake. Let her rest. You need rest too so come on, let go”I bite down at my lips and then nodded.With my hands grasped in his, we continued to walk away. We got back to the room and I pulled out my arms and began to head towards the bathroom but paused midway to let him know.“I’m going to shower and get ready for bed”“Okay. I will be right here if you need me” prince said and I answered with a nod before slipping into the bathroom.The moment my feet hit the bathroom, I felt a crushing weight on my ch
“I'll come see you tomorrow, Agnes” I said with a kiss to her forehead before stepping away from her. I turned to face the doctor.“Thank you, Doctor for your help”“You're welcome” He replied and I nodded and left the room and stepped into the corridor. I could breathe easier out here, away from the stifling heat and suffocating detergent.Servants bowed to me as I walked past them and down the long corridor. I did not exactly have a particular destination in mind but I found my feet guiding me towards the garden once more.The weather outside was harsh and extremely hot but the air was more refreshing and less stifling like the ones inside and I continued to walk even further, my feet stepping on the grass beneath me.After a few minutes of walking, I finally settled on one of the bench with a deep sighs, just staring up ahead of me.I saw the Prince walk over to where I sat from the corner of my eyes as he sat down beside me and I turned to face him.“Prince” I greeted with a relie
Instead of searching for words to say, I leaned in further and brush my lips against his briefly before moving away.“I don’t hate you and I’m not afraid of you either. I just thought since we are not married, it would be better if we, uhm” I swallowed nervously, unable to say out the word out loud.“Did someone say something to you? Is that why you’re saying all these?” he questioned with a raised brow.“What? No..no but you are the Prince and have a reputation in society whereas I don’t and even though you say we are engaged, I don’t want your name to be taint because of me” I explained calmly, my heart beating loudly in my chest.He nodded once and pushed away from me with a deep sigh.“I understand what you are saying, Iris but I don’t care about those side talks and gossips but I can’t say same for you so I will have servants arrange one of the rooms for you as soon as possible”He said sharply and turned to walk into the bathroom, leaving me to state right after him. Maybe I was
I saw my life flashed before my very own eyes. One minute he was aiming for my throat and the next minutes he was getting thrown back against my reading table so powerfully that it broke into halves with a crumbling sound.Looking back up, I was relived to see Logan standing in the same spot my attacker had been just a moment ago as he stood shirtless and in a protective stance with his large blade in hand.Seeing Logan’s unexpected appearance in the room, my attacker didn’t stay down for long from the impact before he was back on its feet, moving Just as swiftly before throwing himself at Logan who was obviously standing in his way of getting to me.Even as a human, Logan was nothing but a beast as he kicked and slice the mask man, leaving absolutely no room for counterattack from his own end.I have never witness a supernatural fight before and sitting so up close and personal has its little disadvantage. I was practically in the way as my room was barely enough to contain the ragin
Logan led me through the long corridor, down a hidden stairs as we went deeper into a much darker route before going through a specific door.I could barely see in the darkness as I was led further into the dark hall, the only thing in the air was the sound of feet hitting the hard concrete floor.Logan gave me a small light after I bumped into him a few times so I could see in the darkness. I felt as though I was trapped in this space, my breath starting to come out short.I can’t help but imagine being held behind this bars of cages. The thought alone is enough to make me want to turn back but I had gone too far to turn back now.As we approached the cell further, my nostrils was immediately hit by the most wretch of smell. I couldn’t even bring myself to imagine what the sources was.We walked further and Logan stopped in front of the one I assumed to belong to lady vena. I stepped closer to the steel cell bar trying to get a glimpse of the woman lying on the small dirty form on th
“I needed to see her and speak to her about what happened. I felt she could tell me the truth”“What truth, Iris. Where you went is no place for you. You shouldn’t have gone there” He barked.“I wasn’t alone. Logan was with me” I explained calmly hoping it would be enough to make him see that I wasn’t in danger when I went there but instead he huffed and threw a punishing look at the door as though he wanted to go hand one to Logan since he was just outside the door.“Still doesn’t matter. He wasn’t permitted to take you down there” prince said with a sigh and I continued.“He didn’t want to so I sort of threatened him” I admitted with quiet voice and he arched a brow at me.“I know I was wrong but I spoke to Lady Vena about what happened and i want you to please set her free” I said with determination.“What? Have you gone mad?” He croaked in disbelief as he stared my startled form down with narrowed eyes.“Did you forget she tried to kill you several times already?” Prince questione
