Annora:I furrow my brows, causing his expression to soften.He gently tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear, looking at me in a way that makes me unsure how to feel or where to look."Fine. I don't think adding more laws before we fix the ones that are broken would be a wise idea. Don't get me wrong, your father has done a lot of great things in his reign, but there's a lot left to do. After the Blunder Plague, the focus was always on wealth and rehabilitation, but we're past that now, and yet the focus hasn't exactly shifted with that, has it?" he looks at me, and for the first time, he seems nervous.Nervous about what I might say? Or think? I can't really tell."Hmm, I imagine you'll do well in the first core challenge," I smile, trying to shrug off the random emotions."Does that mean it's history-based?" he asks with his eyes lighting up.None of them knew what the challenges were.They were simply told that they would be tested on their mind, body, and soul, and that some

Annora:I want to ask him where the pill is from, what it's made of, and how he knows it's supposed to help me.Even more so, I want to ask him why my skin doesn't freak him out and how he seemed so calm and understanding, but now I can't.Now I'm standing between him and Emilio.From where Emilio is standing, I'm two feet away from some random guy with his jacket around me.It was not the best first impression for this date on my part.I turn and smile at Emilio. I'm sure my cheeks are pink from the nerves coursing through me now.Jacobs' presence feels heavier and stronger than it ever has before. I tuck the pill in the small pocket of my skirt."Emilio, this is my friend Jacob. He's also friends with Chia and El," I explain, hoping he gets the point."Emilio, heir of The Paragon Throne," he reaches his hand out to shake Jacobs.Jacob looks at Emilios hand and grabs it firmly in his, shaking it and pulling back before responding."Yeah, I know who you are. Be nice to Nora. The girls

Annora:The sun was already high in the sky, and it was an especially warm day.I was happy Krish had picked out a skirt for this reason, and the blouse was thinner and breathable."Nora!" I hear El's voice shout down the hallway.I stopped where I was to turn around. I had been headed to my father's office to speak to him about tomorrow's challenge and a few other things after my date with Otto.I didn't have much time between him and having to meet with Emilio."Hey, I'm kind of in a hurry. Is everything alright?" I wasn't trying to brush her off, but I really only had about twenty minutes unless I was to be late.A Princess is never late according to father."Have you heard from Chia? She hasn't answered my calls, and I went to their quarters, and she isn't answering her door," El says, out of breath from running over to me.I think back to the last time I spoke with Chia.The text messages about Otto."I haven't talked to her since last night. Are you worried about her?" I ask.It

Annora:"Wow, you look..." Otto starts to compliment me."I don't look like Chia," I smile and drop my ass into the chair.A breakfast in the garden. Unoriginal. Yet, he really didn't have a lot to work with. I guess I'm just finding anything not to like about this guy.The maids shuffled around, obviously abiding by his every command, trying to make this breakfast everything that he wanted it to be.Otto clears his throat and hands me a single flower.My favorite. Valley Sunflowers.They're a deep red with a bright orange lining the tips. Beautiful and rare.A nice touch. Maybe he was putting in more effort, but why?It's obvious that he's into Chia. Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about this.I clearly have my own issues, so I'm not really someone to judge.Chia is everything a man desires, and I love her to pieces, so her happiness means the world to me."I apologize for that. She is very beautiful. I'm clearly not the best in these types of situations, but I would like a fair c

Annora:"Wake up!" Krish's voice sings through my room before she rips the curtains open, blinding me with the early morning sun."It's the weekend!" I groan, pulling the pillow over my face.She doesn't have to wake me up, but it's something she often does anyway.I typically looked forward to our morning coffee and gossip sessions, but I was drained."Your date with Otto is in an hour," she reminds me.She jumps on my bed and rips the pillow from my face, showing me her big smile before raising an eyebrow."I saw you last night," she says, this time more quietly, as if someone might hear her."I don't know what you're talking about," I laugh.She shakes her head before grabbing my hands and dragging me out of bed.I mope over to the small table and chair on the other side of the room, where she has two cups of hot and delicious coffee, calling my name."Did you plan to meet with Sebastian? What did

Annora:As soon as the awkward desert session was finished, the heirs left for the quarters in the palace that my father had arranged for them.Chia was quick to leave without a goodbye or see you later.I get to my bedroom, quickly ripping off the gown whose only purpose felt like it was to suffocate me, before grabbing my phone and texting Chia.Me: We need to talk asap. What's up with you and Otto?I watched the phone bubbles emerge and disappear several times. I sat on the bed for what felt like a century before I finally got a response.Chia: Nothing. You're thinking too hard.I scrunch my eyes together, rereading the two sentences that somehow took her ten minutes to send.I start typing erratically and furiously.Me: Are you serious? You were practically silent the entire time. Otto was staring at you like he wanted to fuck you or murder you, I couldn't tell which. Do you know him? What aren't you telling me?
