"But love is many things, none of them logical." - William Goldman.-"How did everything go before my arrival ?" King Dysmas asked the queit dinner table. "Uncle, i handled everything. The issues with the servant wages, i even made it a point to visit the village to ensure that everything was being handled well. The horse are stronger than they have ever been. I also visited the Greece officials so we could talk about the alliance at which they preferred to speak to you themselves." Elias said nonchalantly."And Alexius what did you do ?" The King questioned, of course he was more concerned with his son considering he was the future King. Prince Alexius shrugged. Princess Amelia and Kyra silently picked at their food because it was awkward and none of them wanted to say the wrong thing."Uh-" He faltered."Alexius, your do not seem keen on doing your royal duties ?" The King continued."Father, I'm tired. I have alot going on." Prince Alexius replied. Elias had a smirk on his lips a
Dear Lucia (my love)I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you pain. I'm sorry for not being there for you and our unborn child. I am most regretful for the things I said on our last encounter. I'm sorry for having pushed you so far farther that you felt marriage was your only option. This hasn't been any easier for me, it's hard. I genuinely care about your wellbeing and that of our child. I feel worse because I haven't even helped you with anything such as the material for nursery. "Will my child even have a nursery ? I probably shouldn't include that part. It's quite offending." Prince Alexius thought to himself.I have definitely come to terms with the fact that I will be a father to someone. I have also come to terms with the fact that I want to be in my child's life but it wearies deeply- "Should I tell her ? it's probably best if I did." Prince Alexius said thoughtfully.As you know Acamas has always had a dispute with Greece. As you know we produce the gold and diamonds in our mi
"It is better to have loved and lost, than to have hated and won." - Anonymous.-Dear Alexius."Sounds inappropriate." Lucia thought.Dear Prince Alexius."Sounds too formal." Lucia anticipated, putting a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. She decided then and there that she wouldn't write to him. She didn't know what to tell him-Alexius, i like the name Krysanthe, it's beautiful. Don't strain yourself... I'm well, our "Our baby, our baby-" She thought, it only seemed fitting.Our baby is doing well although she is quite playful always keeping me awake in the midst of the night with her kicking. She obviously gets the playfulness from her father-She reminisced how he would tickle her until she said he was the best kisser not that she had any experiences to compare to. He would chase her around the woods until he caught her then she would fall on top of his rigid body, laughing hysterically, he would flip them over, he staring down at her without saying a word as he laid a s
"Love is not blind - it see's more, not less. But because it see's more, it is willing to see less." ~ Julins Gordon.-"Kyra adores lilies, she absolutely distastes roses-" Lucia chuckled. "She says they are so cliché and overrated." Lucia remembered because Khristian had once bought Kyra roses which she threw back at him harshly."What do you like ?" Elias smiled, just the sight of her made him fall even deeper in love. Lucia was taking a daily stroll near the river banks when she happened to bump into archduke Elias. He insisted that they had a conversation mostly about Kyra's likes and dislikes at which Lucia didn't seem to mind. Elias looked at the way the wind blew her hair, she had the cutest smile... he thought."I-I-i have never actually received flowers from anyone, i don't really have a favor. All flowers are beautiful...I guess." Lucia replied. Elias was smitten, it took him everything not to put a lock of her white blind hair behind her ear."That's absolutely absurd ! My
"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give which is everything." ~ Anonymous.-The minute Elias was out of the scene, Prince Alexius raced to hold her in his arms. Her vanilla scent sent him on the edge, it was amazing; he missed her with his entire heart and soul. He didn't care if she was mad as a hatter or if she was fuming, he just wanted to hold her, want was an understatement- he needed to hold her. She let out a gasp as he held her in his arms, he was intimidating but yet so vulnerable. A smile made its way to her lips when he knelt down, in a surrendering stance.. what he did next totally absorbed any anger she had be holding for him. He put his two hands her large stomach, laid soft kisses on the silk dress she wore. Lucia could feel his lips even with the fabric between them, she missed him. It was a horrible feeling to admit to but yet it made her so happy. "Theodore!" Lucia muttered breaking the comfortable silence. Pri
"If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people." ~ Robert A. Heinlein.-Chattering.Classical music playing.Buffet of food.Servers all around.High ceilings beautiful chandeliers.loads of chattering and clicking of wine glasses. The engagement gala, the Prince had been dreading had finally arrived. Everyone dressed up for this very event, didn't they all ? All the eligible elites were present. The Prince looked around his eyes searching, he felt as if he was being watched. He brushed it off and continued with the dreadful event. Princess Amelia smiled as she saw him, he returned the gesture but it wasn't as bright. "You look breathtaking." He said holding a flute of wine for her. "You don't look bad yourself." She gave him a short glance. It was awkward, they hardly ever had anything to talk about or say to each other. Anyone might have been wondering why she had agreed to this after alot of bickering and archduke Elias bending her over the royal balcony and giving her t
"Love and a cough cannot be hid." ~ George Herbert.-"I'm just glad the Prince is to wed soon then Elias and I can finally have our moment." "You know Elias is an angel, i love him so much Lucia." "Living in the palace comes with a lot of pressure.""I have dreamt about this my whole life.""I'm excited to give Elias a heir soon-" It was always about her. She had decided to visit her dear mother then dropped by to see Lucia who lived right next door. Kyra was excited but not once did she ask Lucia how she was doing or about her pregnancy. It had always been crucially that way."These are the new dresses, i wear as of now custom made for royalty." Kyra said proudly."It's beautiful." Lucia said softly, she had been feeling a little light headed so she honestly couldn't give much effort into the conversation."Mhm-" Kyra held her tongue, she had wanted to ask about the Prince when she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the wooden door. Khristian appeared, a wave of sadness cro
"It's much easier to turn a friendship into love, than love into friendship." ~ Anonymous.-Everyone was on full alert after what had happened. The King was in distress, the Prince felt anguished. Elias felt everything was going in his favor. The people of the independent city of Acamas awaited for the worst. Above all Lucia was beyond worried about Alexius. One of the mines in the capital town of Acamas, Giannopoulos has been fired upon by none other than Greece. There had been no warning but it was expected but not this soon. Over thirty-six miners died as a cause of this and fifty- two rendered weak and injured. The council immediately held a meeting. It included Sir Pantelis, King Dysmas, Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II, Elias Catheles, Lefter Stratigos; an elder as well as Commander Athan Manousakis the young strong leader of the Acamas army. They had also been joined by a messenger from France ; Henry Sylvestre."The people fear the worst is yet to come." Sir Pantelis said briefly
