"Many men know how to flatter, few men know how to praise." ~ Greek Proverb.-He walked back and fourth in his room, expecting her. He didn't know what he would say to her or where to began ? She probably hated him but he loved her, loves her ; present tense. "Sire-" someone interrupted."Yes ?" He said expectedly."Your guest is here." The guard said. "Bring her up." He ordered and they nodded. Lucia was angry, she was mad as a hatter, she was raging with anger, beyond ill-tempered. Who did he think he was ? ordering her around. What did he want from her ? she thought. These hormones were definitely adding fuel to her raging fire. She was adamant on getting him off her back for good. He was promised to Princess Amelia and him requesting her presence at the palace. People in her neighborhood would always start a conversation. This would create gossip and banters all around. Lucia feared coming into the Kings Presence but to her surprise he wasn't there. Princess Amelia was not ar
-"Love is blind, marriage is an eye opener." ~ Pauline Thomason.-Time has a funny way of slowing down when we are in pain and flies faster when we are happy and having the time of our lives. Lucia was driven by anger and hurt maybe because a small tiny bitsy hoped she wouldn't have to marry Khris even though she knew how genuine he was. A tiny part hoped Alexius would climb onto a big strong white horse and ask for her hand in marriage. Kiss her endlessly and tell her he loves her... she didn't love him, she thought. She couldn't, Lucia hated him, she loathed every single atom on his body... this drove her to want to prove him wrong. To never need anything from him, never ever have to need him. He thought he was the centre of Lucia's world, he was at first but everything changed. Her child was now the centre of her world and nothing else other than that.Khristian and Lucia got married in the courthouse, his mother was present as witness. She had told him everything that had transp
"Eat and drink with your relatives; do business with strangers." ~ Greek Proverb.- "I'm trying to be civil with you." Prince Alexius said in a dull tone. They were having breakfast, luckily The Prince had arrived at the huge table earlier than everyone else, he couldn't sleep especially with his fiancée's brunette hair in his face. They weren't allowed to sleep in the same rooms as yet but Princess Amelia was as stubborn as mule, she wanted cling onto him every chance she got. Princess Amelia was what the Prince called pig headed. He was trying to see the best of this situation, he had taken Princess Amelia to the palace beautiful gardens. He thought getting to know the woman whom he would marry was a good idea but he lost interest as soon as she started blabbering about her pet chihuahua whom she missed dearly and two older brothers and her mother the Queen of France as well as her father who passed away when she was nine. For a moment he felt pity for her but all he could think ab
"You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." - Barbara De Angelis.-"When the Prince returns to his senses, do not mention this to anyone. Do nut treat him like a fragile egg, Please try your best to act like nothing occurred." Elias said addressing the palace staff.t"Archduke Elias,The Prince is awake and he has requested... I get his horse ready." One of the servants from the Prince's wing said in a worried tone. He didn't want to take any orders that would lead into the future King hurting himself. "Don't let him out of his quarters." Elias instructed. "As of now, he will have his lunch and dinner there-" The servants nodded. "You're dismissed." "Elias, what's wrong with Prince Alexius ?" Princess Amelia said out of the blue as the servants scurried off. She looked scared stiff."Nothing to worry about, the Prince is perfectly fine." Elias assured her with a mile."Does he do that very often ?" She questioned clearly concerned for her safety."Not necessarily."
"People who are sensible about love are incapable of it." ~ Douglass Yates.-Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II was visiting the village, something felt different. The independent city of Acamas was beautiful and gifted with greener grass, a number of trees, beautiful hills and flowing rivers. He had always loved doing this with his father when he was a boy... he waned to see how other people lived- his people."Stop the carriage !" He said abruptly."My King." The royal servant aforesaid. The Prince was shocked why were they addressing him as King and not Prince. He wasn't a King yet as far as he was concerned. "Daddy !" He whipped his head to face the direction where the little voice was coming from. A little brown haired girl was sitted on Princess Amelia's lap. He was beyond confused."Daddy-" She giggled with her front teeth missing. He blinked but she was still there. Could this be the daughter he had with Lucia ? no it couldn't be. She had hazel brown eyes and brown shoulder leng
"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
