One day has passed after the day I will never forget, the day when my only friend in this world died. I only have one friend, but she was even stolen from me. Will that also be denied during my stay here?The pain provided by the explosion that occurred throughout the Kingdom is still fresh. Everyone mourned, especially those left behind by their loved ones. Still unacceptable to how the man behind it ended the lives of the innocent citizens of Norland. Even others who are silent are affected by the enemy. They did not even feel sorry for the children who had lost their parents, many were orphaned. Many are grieving today because of the explosion that occurred.I still can’t believe Ysabelle is gone. The event was too fast and I can't get over it. I did not expect that when we gave her the opportunity to see her Mother and sister, we also allowed her to disappear from us forever.I feel guilty for what we did. If we had not told her about what had happened to her mother and sister, sh
"I can't. I-I'm thinking wrong," my hand trembled as I lowered the basket I was holding. I unbuttoned the hem of my dress and began to step into the secret tunnel that Prince Cozen had entered.I didn't even think about what Uncle Luisito ordered me to do. The important thing now, is that I can follow Prince Cozen and answer all my questions. I wanted to prove my suspicion wrong. I will gain important information by following him.My gut feeling got stronger but I didn't want to believe that.Prince Cozen was not that man.Impossible!He could not betray the Kingdom of Norland, especially his Father King. He is one of the Princes and his duty is to serve their Kingdom faithfully and guard his Father's throne.When I saw that Prince Cozen had completely eaten up that tunnel, I hurried out of my hiding place.I left the bag of fruits on the edge of the lawn. I made sure no one could see that. I'll just hurry up and go to Lacandia to get back right away. I haven’t wasted every second yet
"I did it because I love you, Zariya."I got up from lying down because what Prince Cozen had said earlier kept haunting my mind. To this day, I still can't believe what he said. I’m not even sure if I heard the last three words he uttered correctly, “I love you, Zariya”. After he said that, he turned his back on me. He left me stunned at the words he uttered.There is a Prince who has confessed his love for me.It's not just one. Even Prince Arsh admitted to me just the other day.I can't measure my nervousness before, which is compounded by fear. Is this really what I'm afraid of?What Tata Lucio says has already happened. Because of the love that the Princes have for me, everything is in turmoil. Things have now become more complicated. Prince Cozen has already been able to merge with my Mother. He was able to oppose his own Father King and his brothers.I wanted to chase him but I chose to just go back to the kitchen because it was about to have lunch earlier. The other Princes mi
"Mother, you're mistaken. She's not Amity," Prince Arsh corrected his Queen Mother. Several times he tells his Mother that I am not Princess Amity but the Dear Queen still does not listen.She had previously emphasized my real name to her Son. She became stubborn and only believed what she said. It doesn't matter that Prince Arsh corrects my name because his Mother is very sure of every word he utters so it will be difficult for me to get through to the Prince's Queen Mother.She knows me.We both knew what she was saying was true.She knew who my parents were.She could no longer hold both my cheeks. Her eyes narrowed as she repeated my real name. She seemed to hate me for those looks. Full of anger.I was so nervous because I knew she really knew me. Add to that that she is very angry with me. If the looks are just deadly, I've been thinking about it before.The Queen shook her head again. "I can't be wrong, Arsh. The young lady's son of your Father's mortal enemy is with you today.
"Oh my gosh! It's already noon!"I was thrown out of bed when the sunlight from the small hole in the window hit my eyes, which is also why I woke up.The light coming from the sun is dazzling.Although still drowsy, I chose to get up. I'll go back to sleep later. There are still jobs waiting for me inside the palace.I quickly found my slippers and immediately put them on. I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. I didn't even bother to open the food left by Kharim Celia on the table. I had to go to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast for the Princes.I went out of our room. I turned to the far end of the room before walking out, because that's why I'm stupid now. I woke up wondering if my suspicion that Prince Arsh had followed us was correct. If so, who is?He can't.Prince Cozen?I stopped walking and covered my mouth as if surprised at the shouted name of my mind. I could feel my heart beating fast because of the nervousness. This is me again with my co
"What's going on here?"My attention turned to the newly arrived Prince, Prince Nesh. Prince Arsh looked at him for a moment and immediately took it back because he looked at me seriously again. He did not take his eyes off where I was. It tries to read what I did.Prince Nesh's gaze landed on me and in a few moments it landed on my hand because of my grip on the King's hand. There he witnessed the good news that I would have liked to mention earlier but did not proceed because of the reaction of Prince Arsh."Father?" Prince Nesh quickly passed his brother and went straight to where I was. I also removed my hand holding King Valor's hand and stepped back to give the Prince enough space. "True! You're awake, Father!" The youngest Prince argues about what he has witnessed with his Father."N-Nesh," said the King. "My youngest Son," he added.Prince Nesh greeted his Father with a big hug. I’m happy to see them in that condition. Even the soldiers were overjoyed at what they saw now. Exc
"A-Are you okay?"I turned to the Queen of Norland. Her earlier angry face was replaced by pity. Her voice has softened now. After the two of us were locked up, she stopped shouting at me. She was just quietly lying in the corner and looking at me. It even told me if I was okay. I could feel her concern for me."I'm fine." I approached her. My feet are free to walk because only my hand was bound by Queen Emily, the Mother I knew in this world. Somehow, I didn’t have a hard time moving. My only problem was my bound hand.I felt bad for what my Queen Mother had done to me. She didn’t even think I could get hurt. She didn't even care about me. She did not hesitate to lock me up.How did she manage to do this to her own child? Why is it so easy for her to imprison me? To see me hurt, her own daughter.Is she so ruthless? What kind of Mother is she?"How about you? Are you alright?" I asked again. I am more concerned with the Mother Queen of Princes than myself. It had absolutely no scars
"Zariya?"My gaze stopped in emptiness when Prince Arsh waved his hand in front of me. He tried to grab my attention. That's when my trance returned."Are you saying something, Prince Arsh?" I asked.Ever since we escaped the Kingdom of Lacandia my mind has been flying. I couldn’t focus because of what happened. The trauma left me when we were still captives by Queen Emily. I really feel that we are still confined and have no opponent until now.The conscience I feel is really overwhelming. I even hurt Prince Cozen for telling me how I really feel for him. I have no intention of hurting him, I just want to make him aware of his wrongdoings and correct them before it is too late.But I don’t regret directing him. If that act gave me too much conscience, to Prince Cozen it would have been well done. As a result, Prince Cozen opened his eyes that he was spelling in the wrong direction.At first he also could not accept and it was hard to believe him but with the help of their Mother and
