• • • • Eve Elite's POV • • • • "Eveeeeee." Maryline calls and goes to every corner of the house, searching for me in vain. She runs to the guards, to the kitchen and everyone claims not to have seen me since we came back or seen me leave."OMG!" Maryline rushes back into the fortress."I told you that she wasn't ready, I'm sure she ran away because the idea of that marriage scares her, but she couldn't tell you in your face," she yells at Edmonton. "I should have seen this coming, how could I be this foolish." she blames herself."You worry too much. I'm sure she's somewhere around playing." he gets up from his seat and then walks out of his office with Maryline following behind. He walks at an average pace to the backyard of the fortress, where I use to seek comfort when my dad was alive."Eve, Eve" he calls in vain and he begins to worry. He hurries to guard "Why are you all paid for?" he asked more of a threat "Why can't I find the princess, why is it that no one knows her wher
• • • Eve's POV • • •"What will the princess go and do in the Caelum clan alone." the commander murmurs to himself.Early that morning, the commander sent by my uncle moves forward with his horse as they see traces of our horses. So the search becomes intense as they follow the tracks."Sir, the traces end here." man 1 calls for the attention of their commander."I think we should separate into two. You move that way, and if you find nothing after a few kilometres come back to us. We will head to the Caelum clan perhaps we will find her there." He says hopelessly.They immediately separate and follow their various destination..."Those are people from the Solis Clan, they're ready to invade our lands. They were caught last night, those two little brats. We will teach them a good lesson. Only god knows how many might be hiding." the king furiously explains to his son Adams.While the man whipping lifts up the cane for the next whip. Matilda and I were still in the process of recover
• • • • Eve's POV • • •After a long and exhausting travel, the troopers are finally in the territory of the Caelum clan. As they approach the gate, all look frail and stink from all dirt accumulated over the long travel, some look so hungry they can't even get spoken. Their horses are no exception, to the tiring nature of the journey as they need water and some food to regain power.As they go closer to the gate, they are interrupted by guards. "We have been sent by Prince Edmonton of the Solis Kingdom.""My King, some troopers from the Solis Kingdom are here. They say they have been sent by Prince Edmonton." The King frowns and murmurs to himself, "Wow, such speed, the news had travelled across the lands." "Take them in, take good care of them; give them food to eat, wine to drink and feed their horses." The King orders. With the king's orders, the guard bows to leave, but the king stops him "before that, bring them to me."The troopers still waiting at the gate, and the guard is s
• • • • Eve's POV • • • • Matilda was terrified all night with what she had seen. Flashes came to her as she longed for the sun to rise.Early the next morning, the troopers bid goodbye to the king and decided to go along with Matilda only as there was no hope that the princess would show up. "As soon as they return, I will send the Princess right away." Said the king. "Extend my sincere apologies to Prince Edmonton for the dissappointments." with that said, the king walks away while they strike their horses and fly into the woods. As soon as troopers arrive, the leader of the troopers runs into Edmonton's office, knocking the door."Get in. Hope you have some good news for me," he warns as the trooper enters "Sir we have a good and 2 bad news."Edmonton breaths out "Start with the good one.""We found the Princess. The bad news is, by the time we arrived, she had left with Edmonton to where we don't know. We waited for her in vain." he gets apprehensive giving excuses to appeal
• • • • Eve’s POV • • • •“Eve we have to leave.” Adams knocks my room.“Ourr… I know!. Can we stay here a few more days?” I cry.“I have things to do back there, so we have to leave.” he moves away from my door. He seats on the couch he pours out a few cups of whiskey while waiting for me.“You are right, Maryline must be worried sick. Please drop me first before going to your kingdom.” I move out of the room with a white shorts directly above my knees with a white top and white tennis shoes.He frowns as I mention Maryline.“Why don't you like her, she's a very good person and she is the only parent I have ever had with uncle Edmonton,”“Edmonton!” he murmurs in disgust this intrigues me “There are things you can't understand.” he caresses my cheeks. “Then explain. I'm not dumb.”“It's needless was getting married soon, so you won't have to feel with these people again.” we now out of the building to his car. “Hate when everyone treats me like a child.” I frown but he says nothing a
• • • • Eve POV • • • •"Get ready we are leaving soon." he walks out of bed. Apparently, we slept in his room on the same bed, we aren't married yet, I can imagine the gossip in the palace.He walks out of the toilet with a cloth tied around his waist. I fling my stare away to avoid eye contact. While I'm feeling uncomfortable and trying my very best to act normal, it doesn't even bother him at all. Anyway, I wasn't ready to see anything, traumatising."Don't waste time, in the bathroom so we can take off soon. I will be waiting for you, downstairs for breakfast." he walks out of the room.I rush to the bathing bow in his toilet and I simply wash my face, all the products I took from the human's world makes me feel so clean. I think I can stay a month without bathing and I will still feel so clean.I hurry out of the room, I find a maid strutting by the door. "This way my Princess" she points. I simply nod at her and follow the path which leads me to a room with Adams and his father
• • • • Adam's POV • • •"The princess must die after the wedding, so that my son will be the only legitimate King of the solis Kindom. With his forces combined to mine we will conquer the world, every Kingdom will be ruled by me and I will be the king of Kings." A malicious grin follow.The king is explaining his plans to Ishee, his best man, just then, an emissary barges into the throne room, the man is panting like a dog on orgasm."My King, I have a message for you" he screams as he's been arrested by guards, so as not to get closer to the king."Release him!" roars the king.The man takes a few steps ahead "The Prince and the Princess were attacked in the forest by unknown battalions." "Did they survive?" he scowls. "Yes, my king, they both survived but all their men died and the princess was kidnapped." "My enemies in action." the king murmurs to himself "How are you sure that the Princess survive?" he ask the man."I just guess so my King, for now, her body hasn't been found
• • • • Adam's POV • • • • "It's been two days now and the man you came with hasn't opened his eyes yet. He's still unconscious and your wedding is in a few days. This situation isn't getting better." Edmonton remind me, I'm seated in his office, frustrated."I wish there was something I could do to wake him up. He's our only key to Eve and you know that. Trust me they will pay for every single time they made us waste." I grind my teeth in fury."Who dares to kidnap the Princess of the Solis kingdom." Edmonton grind his teeth. The atmosphere is tense..."I will go with some troopers to the site where we were attacked, if I can find something, any hint which can help us in our search.""Good Idea, my Prince. I will follow you to the site.""No, you will stay here and take care of the palace. I guess your presence is much more needed here." I get up from where I'm seated."Ok, my prince." Edmonton nods while I walk out of the office. I take some troopers along with me. We ride to the
