It hurts when I move my arm. It hurts even more as I opened them up and the tailors were taking my measurements. My aunt, the queen was finally convinced by my progress in training that she immediately had me fitted for a new dress.
“Please. Don’t make the dress heavy and puffy.” I told the tailors.
“As you wish, Princess.” The head designer, Gary nodded.
“We’re done.” One of his assistants said and they helped me put on my shirt. My sore muscles screamed in pain with every movement that I have to gasp in relief when it was over.
“Thanks, everyone.” I told them as I headed for the door. “Custard, Viex, let’s go.” I called as I opened the door for them. Immediately, they ran for th
It has been a week now and we have been constantly practicing with both my magic and physical training. Terrence is an excellent teacher, obviously. And I could see a lot of improvements from all of us.The princes mostly since I still find the time to sleep somewhere when Terrence isn’t looking.Ace is surprisingly a good teacher in magic as well. He would occasionally threaten me whenever I make a mistake, but he doesn’t really follow it through.“One more lap, Viex.” I commanded as I tried to maintain the flow of magic onto Viex while practicing my whip. It’s very hard to multi-task especially when I just got distracted by a pretty butterfly.“FOCUS!” Ace snapped beside me that I immediately looked to
“Out with it, Dan. Where’s Ren?” I asked.Dan moved away from the bouquet and was smiling at me like an idiot. “You’re looking for him? Is that progress I hear?” He chuckled and was suddenly pulled back by the collar of his shirt by his twin.Ren and I met gazes. “Hey, princess.” He greeted me. Ren was wearing the same coat as Dan, but minus all the fancy chains and details. While Ren was dressed to be presentable, Dan was dressed to impress.“‘Sup, Ren.” I greeted back.Dan moved his head back and forth between the two of us. And the more that he did, the deeper his frown has become. “That’s it!?” He asked in disbelief. “That’s all?!” He dema
It has been a long time since I came to visit the market here in Hazel. Nostalgia hit me differently because there were good and bad memories that I had here. One of them is where I had my first fight with Fred, and the other one is where I finally realized that Custard was indeed following me at that time.“Nora, stop removing your cloak. People will see that you’re a royal.” I chided her as I fixed her cloak. Before leaving, I asked the servants to bring us some cloaks just to hide our dresses. We didn’t have much time to change since Nora seemed like she was in a hurry.“I’m hungry.” She pouted.“Me too.” I agreed. “Let’s go look for something to eat.” I was a bit surprised when Nora smiled and started pulling on my hand a
“You!” Nora and I screamed back as Dan’s face appeared when we opened the door to the lounge. “You cheating rascal!” He directed his gaze to Nora.Nora quickly hid behind me and stuck her tongue out at Dan. He looked irritated and was about to say something more when Ace blocked his path.“What do you think you’re doing?” Ace dropped the shopping bags on the floor and cracked his knuckles. “Are you bullying my sister?” He demanded.“Of course not.” Dan said in a deadpanned tone as he heard Eltur and Darem laughing behind his back. Dan jerked a thumb towards them. “It was your older brothers who were bullying her. I heard they were teaching her things that kids shouldn’t know. I won’t tell you what it is. You
As the crown was placed on top of Fred’s head, the crowd erupted into a big round of applause. Fred, who was currently declared as the youngest king of Hazel smiled back onto the crowd as he returned the scepter. The princes and I couldn’t be more proud of him. After all, he deserves it. We have seen and witnesses what he could do and how responsible he can be. That is why I admire him. He’s kind and smart, and also talented. He was the perfect king. Maybe I should consider migrating to Hazel or buy some Fred action figures? Will I be charged with tax? “Enjoy the party everyone.” Fred says before he went backstage, probably to sign a few more paperwork. I almost booed at this sudden disappearance because I have yet to marvel at the sight of the handsom
The moment Fred and I began dancing, the others started to follow. It was like the previous events didn’t happen at all. At the moment, the visitors enjoyed the event as usual as they casually used the dancefloor. “Fred, is it me, or do you suck at dancing now?” I said as he and I stood behind the buffet table and ate. I was eating while he was just looking at me and greeting guests when they passed by. “I should be asking you that same question.” He responded and handed me a cupcake. “Try this.” “I stepped on you one time! You also stepped on mine.” I complained but still accepted the cupcake nonetheless. Fred held this cupcake. It is now a national treasure that my stomach will enjoy. Fred snickered. “You stepped on me first. I just returned the favo
I immediately ran to find my aunt. They were still back to where I left them. When my aunt saw me, she was about to scold me for running, but seeing the look on my face, she held back. “Dear, what’s wrong?” “Where’s the carriage you took to get here? I need to get back to Thalia immediately.” I told them. “You’re leaving already?” Fred interjected and came forward. I nodded. “It’s Viex, my other contracted spirit.” I held my head as I tried to remember the last words that he told me. “He told me that he was in Thalia. And I feel it. He’s in trouble.” Fred nodded and called for a servant. “Get my carriage immediately.” “But, sire, with all the carriage pa
I was starring at an empty space trying to comprehend what Viex just said. King Ferius has my sister? What a joke.But even though all I wanted to do was deny it, the traces of hair on the ground and Viex’s words were all the proof I needed.I saw a card written in blood. My stomach swirled at the sight.‘Surrender yourself and the chalice.’ It says. I don’t even need to look for the name of the sender to know who it is.I wanted to puke. I remember all the pain in my body when I felt the repercussion of Viex healing someone. Was it Stella that Viex was trying to heal to end up in this state?I looked at Viex’s sleeping form. He was phasing in and out of my sight. His bo
